Upgrade the firmware

The product has remote firmware update (RFU) capability. Use the information in this section to upgrade the product firmware.

Determine the current firmware version

1.From the control panel Home screen, scroll to and touch Administration.

2.Touch Information.

3.Touch Configuration/status Pages.

4.Touch Configuration Page.

5.Touch Print.

The firmware datecode is listed on the Configuration page in the section called Device Information. The firmware datecode has this format: YYYYMMDD XX.XXX.X. The first string of numbers is the date, where YYYY represents the year, MM represents the month, and DD represents the date. For example, a firmware datecode of that begins with 20061125 represents November 25, 2006.

Download new firmware from the HP Web site

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

cljcm6049mfp_firmware. This page provides instructions for downloading the new firmware version.

Transfer the new firmware to the product

NOTE: The product can receive an .RFU file update when it is in a "ready" state.

The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the product to re-initialize. 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. In this case, you must send the upgrade by using the parallel port. Finally, any jobs that are ahead of the RFU job in the queue are completed before the update is processed.

Use FTP to upload the firmware through a browser

NOTE: The firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). Any menu settings that are changed from the default settings might return to default settings and must be changed again if you want settings that are different from the defaults.

1.Print a configuration page and note the TCP/IP address shown on the EIO Jetdirect page.

2.Open a browser window.

3.In the address line of the browser, type ftp://<ADDRESS>, where <ADDRESS> is the address of the product. For example, if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.90, type ftp:// 192.168.0.90.
