Reason for firmware update failure Corrective action

A flash hardware failure occurred. Although it is extremely unlikely, the product might have a hardware failure. Call

technical support to address the problem (see the flyer that came with the

product for a local telephone support list).

NOTE All HP LaserJet products leave the factory with the most recent firmware version

installed. If a remote firmware update fails, the .RFU file must be sent over a parallel port

connection.

Printing print-ready documents from a command line

Documents in the following file formats can be printed by using a command line. That is, they do not

need to be opened in a software program that supports the file format (such as the Adobe Acrobat or

Acrobat Reader programs for .PDF files), but can be sent directly to the product using a command

line.

■ HP LaserJet Printer Control Language (.PCL)

■ Portable Document Format (.PDF)

■ Postscript (.PS)

■ Text (.TXT)

Use one of the following methods to send print-ready files to your product.

NOTE The examples that are used in this section are for printing .PDF documents.

However, any print-ready file type can be substituted.

Print-ready file printing by using FTP through a browser

Complete the following steps to print print-ready files from a command line by using FTP through a

browser.

NOTE The following instructions can be used on Windows or Macintosh operating systems.

1 Take note of the TCP/IP address on the EIO Jetdirect page. The Jetdirect page is the second

page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see

Determining the

current level of firmware.

2 Open a browser window.

In the address line of the browser, type ftp://<IPADDRESS>. For example, if the TCP/IP

address of your product is 192.168.0.90, type the following:

FTP:// 192.168.0.90

4 Locate the print-ready file for the product.

5 Drag and drop the print-ready file onto the PORT1 icon in the browser window.
