Firmware Datecode: 20171213
Firmware Revision: 2308937_578496
HP Fleet Bundle Version Designation: FutureSmart Bundle Version 3.9
ENHANCEMENT:
Base:
➢ The Backup and Restore feature has been expanded to include JDI settings.
Additionally, this feature has been expanded to allow creating a backup file and
restoring that file to another device of the same model and firmware version as the
backup file.
➢ When the "Email Domain Restriction" feature is configured with only one domain,
the domain will autofill once the user selects the "@" symbol.
➢ Added support for "Any Size/Any Type" in cassette trays.
➢ This feature increases the number of allowed PIN users in the device's local
address book; from 1000 to 2000.
➢ Optimized JPEG decompression library improves performance of print jobs with
JPEG compressed images
➢ Enhancement to include the ability to keep the control panel lit during printing.
Feature is only available to be turned on/off via XTP tickets.
➢ Support added for USB Keyboard HP part number QY776AA#ABA. Support
added only for the keys also available on Flow model keyboards. All other keys
are nonfunctional.
➢ Users now have the ability to cancel digital sending, copy, print and fax jobs via
SNMP commands.
➢ Added the ability to specify a custom sign-in message at the control panel if all of
its permissions have Guest locked. The default message in English is "Touch 'Sign
in' to use the device." The ability to modify this message lets clients that have
badge authentication solutions or other types of custom messaging they wish to be
displayed to show.
➢ A new option has been added to delete the temporary jobs after 3 days.
➢ Error code “42.B0.01” will not be displayed in the event log for end customers.
➢ Added new feature to allow PCL 6 to suppress blank pages. Previously this feature
was only available with PCL5, now this functionality is also available with PCL6.
➢ Changes in power management to meet new Blue Angel regulations.
Digital Sending:
➢ Devices will accept a new hidden macro called "%HOME_FOLDER%" in the "UNC
Folder Path" with the "Save to Shared Folders" of the "Save to Network Folder"
setup. When specified, the device will attempt to locate that user's personal share
folder using the default attribute for Active Directory named "home directory" if the
user authenticated with Windows or LDAP authentication. Alternatively, when
specified the device will attempt to locate the value for the constant Home Folder
Path which certain pull print & authentication solutions like HP Access Control and
others populate. This allows for a different way to specify personal folders so that
the other advanced features like specifying a sub folder or optionally using a
service account can be used. This can be especially helpful for pull print and
authentication solutions like HP Access Control in cases where network
administrators want to allow end users to tap a badge (which does not have their
password) to deliver jobs to their home folders without additional prompts. This
also helps clients with Windows and LDAP authentication too even if not using a
service account where end users want jobs delivered to a predictable subfolder
(e.g. "scans") and not just their root home folder.
Fax:
➢ No new Updates
Security/Authentication:
➢ Users now have the ability to disable printing from Help.
➢ Added two new features to improve the private and usability of retrieving stored
jobs from the "Retrieve from Device Memory" application. Administrators can
define what users first see when entering the "Retrieve from Device Memory"
application. The default behavior has not changed, but administrators have a new
setting in the embedded web server under "Security" [Tab] -> "Protect Stored
Data" [Menu] -> "Managed Stored Jobs" [Section] called "Behavior when users
are authenticated. If "Assist users to their jobs" is selected, users entering the
application will immediately see their jobs provided a folder exists by their
username (default behavior in the print driver when sending jobs) but can navigate
back to the list of folders with jobs. Administrators will also note a new permission
that is not activated by default in the embedded web server under "Security" [Tab]
-> "Access Control" [Menu] -> "Sign In and Permission Policies" [Section] ->
"Open from Device Memory application" [Control Panel Permission] for "Other
Users' Jobs and Folders". If removing the permissions (e.g. for "Guest" and
"Device User") a regular user will only be able to see their or guest jobs. If at the
folder view they will only be able to see folders with at least one of their own jobs
or a guest job within it except for the special folders like "Untitled" & "Stored
Faxes". These two features can be used together to optimize the privacy &
usability when users retrieve their stored jobs.
➢ Allow for nested group behavior on the EWS: Security>Access Control>Windows
Setup. Nested AD groups may be configured to inherit parent permissions.
➢ Allows for authentication at devices using AD credentials instead of local device
credentials via Web Jet Admin.
➢ This firmware provides compatible HP and 3rd party solution software the ability
to establish HTTPs communications through the Jetdirect networking interface. The
protocol and encryption parameters for these solutions are now configured using
the Jetdirect networking settings, allowing access to updated Jetdirect protocols
and encryption. This option is available to HP and 3rd party solutions using the
HttpWebRequest Class connection methods.
➢ This firmware addresses the following security issues: CVE-2005-4900– SHA-1 is
not collision resistant, allowing for context-dependent spoofing attacks. Cipher
suites containing the SHA-1 hashing algorithm can now be disabled by setting
Encryption Strength to “High” within the “Mgmt. Protocols” page under the EWS
Networking tab. These cipher suites will remain enabled/active if Encryption
Strength is set to either “Medium” or “Low”. Note: For devices with Encryption
Strength set to “High”, after installing this firmware the Encryption Strength setting
will be changed to “Medium” to allow continued access to SHA-1 cipher suites.
Embedded JetDirect:
➢ No new Updates
FIXES:
Base:
➢ You may see a 49.00.FF error while performing a Direct TIFF print job.
➢ Setting Legacy resolution to 300 x 300 would not be retained after a power cycle.
➢ Print job size of 400mb or more not getting stored on the device disk memory.
➢ Disk resident fonts are not persistent after a power cycle.
➢ Localization issue with physical keyboard is resolved.
➢ Paper type is displayed incorrectly on control panel when using Chinese.
➢ Wrong translation of control panel buttons in Czech.
➢ Certain PDFs were not printed correctly, text on PDF was getting printed as blocks.
➢ Improved Barcode scanning.
➢ Improvement in print performance of certain PDF files.
➢ Scanned output PDF documents fail PDF/1-b compliance with certain PDF test
tools.
➢ You may see an Access Denied warning when trying to accesses the EWS even
prior to entering in a Password.
➢ Under certain circumstances an SNMP GET request might receive a slow response
which exceeds all client retries and timeouts. Sometimes the printer would never
respond. This fix ensures that these circumstances do not prevent timely SNMP
responses.
➢ Fixed an issue where Date and Time settings in EWS would not save when device
was set to a non-English language.
➢ Intermixing of pages is seen when printing mopy jobs.
➢ Save To Network Folder application always prompts for password after successful
third party Kerberos authentication.
➢ A 48.A1.01 error could be displayed if a Job Accounting solution was registered
as a 'critical client'. This error is normal in the case of lost communication to the
solution server but was occurring inadvertently due to a corrupt job being tracked
by the device.
➢ Embedded EPrint setting intermittently shows state as "Not Supported" instead of
"Enabled/Disabled" via WJA.
➢ Using the Pages per Sheet N-Up printing feature provided with any version of the
UPD PCL6 driver will give incorrect printed output.
➢ You may see improvements printing certain fonts.
➢ After upgrading to Future Smart 3.8 firmware and performing a cold reset on the
MFP, ‘Remote Scan Request’ button no longer shows up on the Control Panel.
➢ 49.38.07 error is seen when printing certain jobs with "reverse page order"
setting enabled on a device without finisher.
➢ PS Error seen when printing certain documents greater than 40 pages.
➢ Added a Web Service object for the "Security" -> "Web Scan Auto Capture Jobs:
Enable Remote User Auto Capture" feature which will allow Web Jet Admin to
fleet manage this setting with XTP Tickets where reservation less scanning for
Network TWAIN is required.
➢ Event "31.03.34" will not be displayed in the event log.
➢ 49.4A.04 is seen when printing certain PDF files containing excessive numbers of
XObjects on one or more pages
➢ Error 49.4A.04 is seen when reprinting certain jobs from Corel Draw.
➢ The PCL commands to call barcode fonts does not work when using asterisks
➢ 49.38.07 error is seen when printing certain PDF jobs in duplex.
➢ Removed possibility of a device hang that could occur during an HTTPS encrypted
scan to an aftermarket solution server destination.
➢ Color mismatch while printing certain PDF documents and selecting the CMYK
profile in driver.
➢ Device stops responding to SNMP requests when we go to Device tab in WJA.
➢ Address book search in Japanese for katakana-hiragana prolonged sound mark (-)
does not work well.
➢ USB volume name is not getting displayed correctly in Korean and other 2 byte
languages.
➢ Missing graphics on pages when printing certain PCL5 jobs.
➢ Improvements in small job print performance.
➢ The composition of PDF files can be unique to the application or MFP/MFD which
created it. Changes have been made to help increase the printing performance of
several of these file types.
➢ Recovered Ok and Cancel button functionality on physical keyboard when virtual
keyboard is disabled.
Digital Sending:
➢ Intermittent send to folder failures due to dfs server referrals.
➢ In the previous firmware release, a feature was added to let administrators use the
Shared Folders (instead of the Personal Folders optionally) to allow end users to
access their home folder this way. While configuring the feature in the Embedded
Web Server worked as expected, an issue was discovered where configuring the
same feature via Web Services (including future releases of Web Jet admin) were
not resolving correctly for users at the control panel when they tried to use the
feature. This is now fixed.
Fax:
➢ When the user badges in with card authentication while an incoming fax is being
received, inactivity timeout doesn’t take effect thus not logging out the user.
➢ Thumbnail resolution of the failed fax report has been improved.
Security/Authentication:
➢ Resolved issue with Card Reader not responding intermittently with Card insert.
➢ Resolved issue where aftermarket authentication agents utilizing the OXPd protocol
could inadvertently remove guest permissions to tabs (e.g. the Information tab) on
the EWS page.
➢ "This firmware addresses the following security issue:
➢ CVE-2016-2183 – 3DES TLS/SSL Birthday Attacks on 64-bit Block Ciphers
(SWEET32) Vulnerability."
➢ Re-added web services (removed in FS 3.8) to allow HP Jet Advantage Security
Manager to manage the state of the Information tab in the embedded web server.
➢ Resolved redundant authentication prompts when accessing certain types of logs.
➢ Scan to network folder suddenly stops working for Windows 10 shares after
receiving Microsoft update 1703 or later.
➢ This firmware addresses the following security issue: CVE-2017-2750 - Insecure
Solution DLL Signature Validation.
➢ Added support for G&D FIPS-201 SIPR smartcards that are provisioned without
encipherment certificates.
➢ When logging into the Embedded Web Server using Windows authentication, you
may not be able to see all the tabs or options that you have been granted access
to.
➢ This firmware addresses the following security issues: CVE-2017-13077:
Reinstallation of the pairwise encryption key (PTK-TK) in the 4-way handshake.
CVE-2017-13078: Reinstallation of the group key (GTK) in the 4-way handshake.
CVE-2017-13079: Reinstallation of the integrity group key (IGTK) in the 4-way
handshake. CVE-2017-13080: Reinstallation of the group key (GTK) in the group
key handshake. CVE-2017-13081: Reinstallation of the integrity group key (IGTK)
in the group key handshake.
➢ This firmware disables the "TFTP Configuration File" setting to prevent
unauthorized device resets.
Embedded JetDirect:
➢ Fixed "IP Address/Subnet is out of range. Check the field. IP=x.x.x.x
Mask=x.x.x.x" error given when an IP address was entered with zero for the host
number in the Access Control List.
➢ Buffers expanded to hold large DNS responses (70+ records). Previously only
about 7 or 8 records were accepted.
➢ Trying to connect via the FTP may fail with certain applications.
➢ Fixed an issue where Windows Authentication would hang the printer.
➢ Product was generating Certificate Signing Requests with version number other
than zero. RFC 2986 requires a version number of zero.
➢ Product was generating Certificate Signing Requests with version number other
than zero. RFC 2986 requires a version number of zero.
➢ Printer crashes with 81.09.00 Embedded Jetdirect Error message when user sets
Admin password from Telnet.
➢ Under certain circumstances during initial power-on, the DCHP Discover message
is sent without a hostname (option 81). This fix ensures that option 81 is always
present when applicable.
➢ The password input for "Import Certificate and Private Key" has been expanded
beyond 16 characters.
➢ Default name when saving a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) is no longer
"certificate.cer".
➢ Under certain circumstances the certificate validity check performed during the IKE
portion of IPsec was done with the local printer time and not UTC time.
➢ If a Jetdirect 2900w in installed and two different wired networks are connected to
the printer (one on the JD 2900w and one on the Jetdirect Inside connection), then
it was possible (under certain circumstances) for the entire printer to become
unresponsive.
➢ This fix prevents the printer from resetting the connection during an intervention
event (paper out, paper jam, etc.) when printing using the LPD protocol.
Previously, the connection would be reset after the TCP Idle Timeout had expired.
Now it will wait indefinitely.
➢ The firmware had trouble parsing a long list of "additional records" in a DNS SRV
response packet. This fix prevents the problems which were causing the device to
crash with a 49.38.07 error code.
➢ Do not respond to pings during the DHCP process (after DHCP Discover).
➢ Retry 802.1x EAP Start process if unsolicited Request Identity is received after
connecting to unsecured network.
➢ IPP attribute "printer state" is not returning the correct state when printing a port
9100 job.
➢ Updates to HTTPS communications for embedded aftermarket solutions.
➢ Some SSL requests from embedded solutions would fail due to corruption of the
destination URL.
➢ Printer is showing offline after registering to Google Cloud Print.
➢ The Certificate Signing Request generated by the printer included three OU fields
(one specified by the user when filling in the EWS form and two additional OU
fields added automatically). Some Certificate Authorities accept only one OU
field so the user entered field was retained and the two internally generated OU
fields were removed).

revision
The following new functionality or features are provided by this firmware release:
Firmware Datecode: 20160820
Firmware Revision: 2308209_000574
HP Fleet Bundle Version Designation: FutureSmart Bundle Version 3.8
ENHANCEMENT:
Base:
➢ Introduced a secure pull print job purge feature where when using a pull print
solution and there is a condition on the device that requires user intervention, a job
purge mode will be tied to the inactivity timeout. Job purge is limited to up to 3
jobs in the current print queue. To enable, select "Cancel Print Jobs after
Unattended Error" in the devices EWS Security - General tab.
➢ Upgraded the font library to UFST 7.3.1. The focus areas are Error handling for
TrueType fonts and OpenType CFF fonts.
➢ Mediatype "HP EcoSMARTLite" has been renamed to "HP EcoFFICIENT".
➢ Role-Based Access to EWS - provides ability to limit access to EWS items via
defined roles. Note: If configured using 3.7.4, feature changes in next fleet release
may cause some access controls to be lost. See white paper for details.
➢ Added functionality to allow users to cancel A3 jobs on A4 printers, mainly
targeted for Pull printing customers.
Digital Sending
➢ The number of allowed domains in the Email Domain Restriction has been
increased from 20 to 50.
➢ Added a feature to show secondary credentials as soon as the user starts a job
that requires credentials (Folder, SharePoint) but credentials are missing. The
secondary credentials prompt should be displayed regardless of the setting "verify
folder access prior to job start" is enabled or disabled.
➢ TWAIN scanning support on Network connected MFPs. The scan can be initiated
using an HP or non HP TWAIN client application. The feature would also support
'Job Reservations' to complete the remote scan requests from the Control Panel of
the MFP.
Fax
➢ Added alphanumeric keypad support for fax.
Security/Authentication:
➢ Added a usability improvement for customers using certain pull print &
authentication solutions (such as HP Access Control) which populate the username,
domain & home folder path as attributes. In these environments if the user preauthenticates with their badge (taps first) before entering a Save to Network Folder
application quick set configured with Personal Share & verify access, the device
will only require the user's password.
➢ Added Server Name Indication (SNI, section 3 of RFC 6066) support in TLS
handshake for improved compatibility in certain configurations of Active Directory
Federation Service (ADFS) on Internet Information Services (IIS) 8 or later or
possibly other applications.
Embedded JetDirect:
➢ No new Updates
FIXES:
Base:
➢ Slow printing of specific PDF files.
➢ Garbled text printed on configuration pages in certain localizations have been
resolved.
➢ You may see devices intermittently stop responding in complex print environments
➢ Improvement in print performance of certain PDF files.
➢ Resolves an issue where HP device with PaperCut solutions may result in users
being unable to Authenticate or Pull Print. Within the PaperCut Administration
Console the HP device is unable to be configured or the embedded device status
reports the following error “Error: The server sent HTTP status code 400:
BadRequest”.
➢ EPrint error "Could not Communicate with HPConnected.com. Some internal error
happened, try again." is seen after upgrading firmware to FS 3.5.1 or later
versions.
➢ A 49.38.07 error may be seen when printing PDF files using LPR.
➢ Improvement in print performance while printing certain PDFs using PS driver.
➢ PCLXL error is seen while printing PDFs with watermark.
➢ When PJL JOB START specifies a specific page to begin printing on (e.g. PAGE
20), the device correctly begins printing on the specified page. However,
unsolicited PJL USTATUS PAGE responses would begin counting from Page 1
(Page 2 when printing duplex) instead of the specified JOB START page (e.g.
PAGE 20). This has been corrected so PJL USTATUS returns PAGE counts
beginning at the specific START PAGE.
➢ Performance improvements related to non-English language usage in EWS and at
device Control Panel for built-in and aftermarket solutions (such as Authentication).
➢ An indication that direct TIff printing was supported with the Retrieve from USB
feature was missing from control panel screen seen after opening the application
on the control panel.
➢ Not able to change Tray Registration settings while EWS is in certain languages.
➢ Equitrac Authentication Agent sign-in agent is missing.
➢ PaperCut error "Could not connect to the Quota server. If this problem persists,
contact the administrator" is seen after upgrade to FS 3.7.4.
➢ If stop hard key is pressed while the device is in sign-in page of any application,
the device does not recover and we are not able to access any application on
home screen after that.
➢ PDF bar code not printed correctly.
Digital Sending
➢ Reoccurring 44.01.0E errors in some scenarios when searching local fax records
via address book has been resolved.
➢ During Send to Network folder the device fails to prompt user credentials screen
when the destination is set to NAS.
➢ The device repeatedly prompts to add email address of the signed in user to the
Address Book.
➢ Digital Send jobs get struck in the queue when using font DIMM loaded with
higher file size.
➢ Resolved an issue wherein encrypted emails restricted by size were not sent
correctly.
Fax:
➢ Internet fax doesn't support special characters underscore ( _ ) and hyphen ( - ) as
T.37 prefix.
Security/Authentication:
➢ 33.05.17 Security Alert seen when base filename used to package and zip files
for solution bundling is too long.
➢ You may see a 33.05.18 error when using select Solution Providers software on
Firmware bundle 3.7
➢ EWS Session Id HttpOnly attribute in HttpCookie class set to true.
Embedded JetDirect:
➢ Functionality of the TCP MSS settings in Telnet has been restored.
➢ Fixed a situation where bad network packets (invalid checksum) could be accepted
and processed as if they were good.
➢ Certificate Signing Requests from HP LaserJet printers have always had three OU
fields - one of which was specified by the customer. With this change, only the
field containing the customer supplied data will be retained.
➢ Resolved memory leaks (and possible device lockup) in DNS mapping logic when
handling uncommon IPv4/IPv6 scenarios.

The following new functionality or features are provided by this firmware release:
Firmware Datecode: 20160102
Firmware Revision: 2307781_551197
HP Fleet Bundle Version Designation: FutureSmart Bundle Version 3.7
ENHANCEMENT:
Base:
➢ The device now has the capability to directly print TIFF files from the walk up USB
port.
➢ When a full keyboard is displayed on the control panel, there is now a shortcut
key, "123" which when pressed, will display a 10-key numerical keypad to make
it easier to enter numerical PINs.
➢ Added support for printing TIFF files.
➢ IPP Job Mandatory attributes and Page Overrides are supported in Airprint 1.5
phase 2.
➢ Improvements made to better recognize fluorescent highlighters when scanning.
Users must select "Text" mode when scanning to use updated scan tables.
➢ Additional support added for Code128, Code 3of9, OCR-A, and OCR-B.
➢ When No Media Type is specified in the job and Tray 1 is loaded and configured
(ex: letter, cardstock), a prompt with the default media type is seen in the mount
(default: plain). If we press “OK” then the tray will be seeded to the job size and
type. If the user decides to not accept this change and selects the modify button
and change the tray1 type and press ok, the mount comes back. What this means
is that the user will not be able to use what is loaded and configured in Tray1 with
the current job. This requirement provides the capability wherein an "Options"
button is displayed instead of "OK" in the mount and once user presses Option
button, he should be able to see two listings for Tray1, one with the current tray
settings and one with the Job settings. Once user selects Tray1 with Job settings,
Job size and Job type will be seeded in Tray1 and Job will get printed from Tray1.
If user selects any other listing it will be treated as override of Job to tray settings.
➢ Include the ability to erase content on the edges of images being copied, similar to
the edge erase functionality for scanned images.
➢ The ability to include stapling of custom media types is now supported in
QuickSets.
➢ In the Retrieve diagnostic data menu on the control panel, “OK" button was added
to allow user to navigate back after exporting the data.
Digital Sending
➢ A requirement to provide a solution that allows restriction of e-mail addresses that
can be used in scan to Email jobs (To/Cc/Bcc) and e-mail job notifications.
➢ The admin should be able to set the list of e-mail domains that can be used. For
instance, if the list of allowed domains contains just ""hp.com"", then just e-mails
that contains @hp.com can be used when sending e-mail jobs and job
notifications."
➢ Users now have the ability to browse network folders from the Send to Network
Folder application for CIFS and DFS connections (but not FTP) provided they have
"Ability to edit the network folder path" enabled by their network administrator.
➢ Ability to set file number format “X_Y" in the email subject as well when using
Scan to Email.
Fax
➢ Added the ability to flip orientation to duplexed Fax output.
Security/Authentication:
➢ Whitelisting ensures only authentic, HP firmware code that has not been tampered
with is loaded into memory. If an anomaly is detected, the device reboots to a
secure, offline state.
➢ Runtime Intrusion Detection checks for anomalies in system memory during
complex firmware and memory operations. In the event an anomaly is detected,
the device automatically reboots. If the Auto-recover feature is disabled, or the
anomaly occurs twice within 30 minutes, the device reboots to a secure, offline
state.

➢ Arabic words on WinForms have separated letters only.
➢ Setting the Home button to disabled in an OXPd application does not disable the
device Home button.
➢ A 49.38.07 may be seen on the control panel for no apparent reason.
➢ Customizing Alternate Keyboard Layout via WJA does not work.
➢ Improvement in print performance of certain .PPT files.
➢ After rebooting the printer, some customers may notice a significant drop in the
percent life remaining in their High Yield Black Original LaserJet Toner (X)
Cartridges.
➢ Added OID support for Cartridge Serial Number.
➢ Cartridge Very Low message is cleared while opening and closing doors.
Digital Sending
➢ Save to SharePoint Support added for "federated/hybrid" environments in which
both Office 365 and corporate-based authentication is required.

➢ MFP receives corrupted faxes with missing content and fuzzy text in complex
phone environment.
➢ Incoming fax hangs on receiving page x of y.
➢ When LanFax jobs are sent from MFP to Biscom LAN fax server, it rejects the job
and inserts an error in the envelope file.
➢ "When 'Rear bin' is selected as output bin for printing incoming faxes, 'close the
door message' pops up and the faxes are not printed in the rear output bin.
➢ Note: The change in behavior now will have the following effect: If the bin is
open, the faxes will always be printed to rear output bin, regardless of output bin
selection. In order to print to standard bin normally, close the rear output bin. If the
rear bin is closed, fax will always be printed to standard output bin regardless of
output bin selection."
➢ When user selects fax recipients from the Address book and deletes one or more
recipients, the fax sent is received by the deleted recipients and not the ones
selected in the list.
Security/Authentication:
➢ Home Screen Sign-In configuration (deny guest access) lost after firmware
upgrade.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: Please be aware that an update in some circumstance may require ten minutes or
more to complete.
You can send the firmware update to a device at any time; the device will wait for all I/O
channels to become idle before cycling power.
Please print a configuration page prior to performing any firmware update. To print the
configuration page:
1. Go to the printer’s control panel.
2. Scroll down and select the Administration application.
3. Select the Reports menu.
4. Select the Configuration/Status Pages menu.
5. Select the Configuration Page option.
6. Select the Print.
On the printed Configuration page look in the section marked "Device Information" for the
Firmware Datecode and Firmware Revision. The Firmware Datecode and Firmware
Revision will look something like this:
Firmware Datecode: 20130919
Firmware Revision: 2301132_395570
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time as well as the time that it
takes for the printer to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depend on the speed of the host
computer sending the update and the I/O method (USB or network).
The re-initialization time will depend on the specific hardware configuration of the printer,
such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paper handling
devices, and the amount of memory installed. Finally, any print jobs ahead of the
firmware job in the queue will be printed before the update is processed.
NOTE: When the update process has completed the device will need to be rebooted.
Once the printer is back online, print a Configuration Page and verify that the new
firmware has been installed.
