software which runs the functions of your printer.
System Software downloading
From time to time there will be software upgrades
available from Hewlett-Packard. System Software
upgrades increase your printers functionality and
enhances the features that your printer already
possess. Firmware can be downloaded from the
Internet.

When you have the files downloaded from the Internet,
you must add them to the printer using the System
Maintenance Application.
System Maintenance Application
When you have the system software files downloaded
to your PC or Mac, open the HP application:
“System Maintenance Application”.
Select the System Software option and follow
the on-screen commands.
This program scans the files you have downloaded and
checks them to make sure that they are the latest
upgrades and that you need them. If you do, the
program installs them onto the printer’s software. The
System Maintenance Application is supplied on a
CD-ROM which is delivered with your printer.
