Remote firmware update The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer 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.
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the product 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 and the I/O method (parallel or network).
