Troubleshooting RFU installation

RFU installation error messages

The following messages can appear on the control-panel display if the installation is interrupted for some reason. Turn the MFP power off, and then back on again. Attempt the RFU installation again.

Hint

If the update is not successful but an error message does not appear on the control-panel display

 

check the event log for RFU error codes. See “Firmware-updateevent-log errors” on page 119.

●.RFU File Is Corrupt

•The printer recognizes that the RFU file is damaged (corrupted) and rejects the update. Download a new RFU file from the website http://www.hp.com/go/lj4100_firmware. Turn the MFP power off, and then back on again. Attempt the RFU installation again.

●Wrong Printer Model Contained In The .RFU File

•The printer recognizes that the RFU file is not correct for installation to the intended MFP product and rejects the update. Download the correct RFU file from the website http:// www.hp.com/go/lj4100_firmware. Turn the MFP power off, and then back on again. Attempt the RFU installation again.

●Update Was Interrupted

•See the information about the job canceled, break in I/O, and power cycle error messages in this section.

●Flash Hardware Failure Occurred

•The flash DIMM has failed. Replace the flash DIMM on the formatter.

Hint

The HP LaserJet 4100mfp product contains a backup copy of the latest version of firmware on

 

the flash DIMM. If a RFU update fails, the MFP uses this backup copy of the firmware to restart.

 

Then attempt to install the update again. When the MFP starts using the backup copy of the

 

firmware, some mfp capabilities are not functional (for example, copying or digital sending). A

 

successful update must be accomplished to fully restore MFP functions.
