Installation Instructions
NOTE: Please be aware that an update in some circumstances may require 10 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. Swipe left and select the Reports menu.
3. Select the Configuration/Status Pages menu.
4. Select the Configuration Page option.

Firmware Revision: 2403276_005859
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 LaserJet will need to be rebooted.
Once the printer is back online, print a Configuration Page and verify that the new
firmware has been installed.
