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.
To upgrade the firmware on a network connection by using FTP
1. Take note of the IP address on the HP Jetdirect page. The HP Jetdirect page is the
second page that prints when you print the configuration page.
Note Before upgrading the firmware, make sure that the MFP is not in Sleep mode. Also make
sure that any error messages are cleared from the control-panel display.
2. Open an MS-DOS command prompt on your computer.
3. Type:
ftp <TCP/IP ADDRESS>
. For example, if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.90,
type
ftp 192.168.0.90
.
4. Press Enter on the keyboard.
5. When prompted for the user name, press Enter .
6. When prompted for the password, press Enter .
7. Type

put <FILENAME>
, where <FILENAME> is the name of the .RFU file that was
downloaded from the Web, including the path. For example, type
put C:\LJ
\4345FW.RFU
, and then press Enter .
Note If the file name or path includes a space, you must enclose the file name or path in quotation
marks. For example, type
put "C:\MY DOCUMENTS\LJ\4345FW.RFU"

200 PORT command successful
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection
