Firmware update using the Embedded Web Server

1.

To access the Embedded Web Server from any computer, see

Check printer status on page 23

.

2.

In the Embedded Web Server, select the Setup tab and then Firmware update > Manual firmware
update
.

3.

Follow the on-screen instructions to download the firmware file from

http://www.hp.com/go/latex300/

support/

and store it on your hard disk. Then select the downloaded .fmw file and click Update.

If you experience very slow progress while uploading the firmware file to the printer, the reason could
be that you are using a proxy server. In that case, try bypassing the proxy server and accessing the
Embedded Web Server directly.

In Internet Explorer for Windows, go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings,
and select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box. Alternatively, for more precise
control, click the Advanced button and add the printer's IP address to the list of exceptions, for
which the proxy server is not used.

In Firefox for Windows, go to Tools > Options > Network > Connection > Settings, and select the
Direct connection to the Internet check box. Alternatively, when the Manual proxy configuration
check box is selected, add the printer's IP address to the list of exceptions, for which the proxy
server is not used.

In Firefox for Linux, go to Edit > Preferences > Network > Connection > Settings, and select the
Direct connection to the Internet check box. Alternatively, when the Manual proxy configuration
check box is selected, add the printer's IP address to the list of exceptions, for which the proxy
server is not used.

Automatic firmware updates

Automatic firmware updates are a convenience that is possible with Web-connected printers. Your printer
can automatically download the latest firmware release and install it for you.

Important notes

Your printer must be connected to the Internet.

To configure automatic firmware updates, you can use the front panel or the Embedded Web Server
(Setup > Firmware update > Firmware update settings).

If an administrator password has been set, it will be required to change these settings.

A firmware update package can be large; you may want to consider whether there are any implications
for your network or Internet connection.

A firmware update is downloaded in the background: the printer can be printing at the same time.
However, it cannot be installed in the background: printing must stop.

To activate or to disable the automatic check or download, go to the front panel and press

, then

Updates > Firmware updates.
