8Firmware update
The printer's various functions are controlled by software that resides in the printer, also known as firmware.
From time to time, firmware updates from Hewlett-Packard become available. These updates increase the
printer's functionality and enhance its features.
Firmware update using a USB flash drive
When installing the printer for the first time you may be asked to update the firmware. For this purpose, you
need a USB flash drive with the following specifications:
●
USB 2.0-compatible
●
2 GB capacity
●
FAT preformatted
●
No hardware encryption
Perform the firmware update
1. Download the firmware update from
http://www.hp.com/go/latex300/support/ and store it on the USB
flash drive.
IMPORTANT: The USB flash drive should contain only one firmware file (.fmw) in the drive's root
folder, and no other files.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. Connect the USB flash drive to the USB connector at the rear of the printer.
4. Turn on the printer.
5. Follow the instructions on the front panel.
Subsequent firmware updates can be installed in your printer in the same way, or by using the printer's
Embedded Web Server.
