How to upgrade the firmware

• When using a Network or USB connection, the HP print driver software must be installed prior
to using this utility.
• The HP printer must be on and in a READY state as shown by the display on the control panel
and remain powered on during the entire firmware update process.

the printer before the update status progress bar in the flash firmware update utility on the PC

is complete.

printer during the update period.
