Download new firmware from the HP Web site

To find the most recent firmware upgrade for the digital sender, go to www.hp.com/go/

9250c_firmware. This page also contains instructions about how to download the new firmware version.

Download the new firmware version from the Web site, and then use one of the methods in the following sections to update the digital sender firmware.

Use FTP to upgrade the firmware on a direct network connection

The device must be in a "Ready" state to receive an .RFU file update. Any jobs that are ahead of the RFU job in the queue are completed before the update is processed.

The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the device to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things, including the speed of the host computer that is sending the update. If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before the firmware is downloaded (while Receiving Upgrade appears on the control-panel display), the firmware file must be sent again. If power is lost during the flash DIMM update (while the Performing Upgrade message appears on the control-panel display), the update is interrupted and the message Resend Upgrade appears (in English only) on the control-panel display.

Follow these instructions to perform the upgrade by using FTP.
