for remotely upgrading digital-sender firmware. These steps are explained in more detail in the following
sections.

2. Go to the Web site and find out whether a new version is available. If it is, download the latest
firmware to your computer.

Determine the current level of firmware
1. Open the configuration page on the device control panel. See Use information pages on page 52
2. Scroll to the configuration section marked Device Information to find the firmware date code. The
firmware date code looks something like this: 20030502 05.003.0
Download new firmware from the HP Web site
To find the most recent firmware upgrade for the digital sender, go to www.hp.com/go/
9250c_firmware. This page also contains instructions about how to download the new firmware version.
Download the new firmware version from the Web site, and then use one of the methods in the following
sections to update the digital sender firmware.
Use FTP to upgrade the firmware on a direct network connection
The device must be in a "Ready" state to receive an .RFU file update. Any jobs that are ahead of the
RFU job in the queue are completed before the update is processed.
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the
device to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things, including the speed of the
host computer that is sending the update. If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before
the firmware is downloaded (while Receiving Upgrade appears on the control-panel display), the
firmware file must be sent again. If power is lost during the flash DIMM update (while the Performing
Upgrade message appears on the control-panel display), the update is interrupted and the message
Resend Upgrade appears (in English only) on the control-panel display.
Follow these instructions to perform the upgrade by using FTP.
