Remote firmware update
The HP Color LaserJet CP6015 Series product features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The
method for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download
the latest printing-system software and print drivers.
The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps:
1. Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the product.
2. Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to the computer.
3. Download the new firmware to the product.

Downloading the new firmware from the HP Web site
The remote firmware update (.RFU) file and an associated readme file are packaged together as a self-
extracting .EXE file. For detailed instructions about how to download the .EXE file, go to the following
URL:
www.hp.com/go/cljcp6015_firmware
The .EXE file consists of a readme file and the .RFU file.
NOTE: For UNIX systems, the remote firmware update file is a .TAR file.
For Macintosh systems, the remote firmware update file is an .SIT, .DMG, or .ZIP file.

The product can receive an RFU update to a product when the product is in a READY state. The product
waits for all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update.
NOTE: If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory
(NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings will return to default settings.
The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the defaults. Examples of
settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol sets, and Web-access alerts.
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the
