HP Web Jetadmin - Upgrading Firmware Using HP Web Jetadmin

With HP FutureSmart 3 and later, the same information also appears on the printer’s configuration
page (Figure 10).

With HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR4, you can view the current HP FutureSmart level (Figure 11) and
change the HP FutureSmart level if the device has HP FutureSmart 3 or later installed. Non-HP
FutureSmart devices always display Not Supported for the HP FutureSmart level. HP FutureSmart
devices display a value instead of Not Supported if they have at least HP FutureSmart 3 installed and
if a selection for the HP FutureSmart level can be made. For example, when the HP LaserJet M806
device was introduced, HP FutureSmart Level 3 was available and was the initial firmware for the
device. The device cannot be set to a lower version. Therefore, HP Web Jetadmin shows Not
Supported for the HP FutureSmart level of this device until a newer version is installed on the device.
The FutureSmart Level configuration option is available from the Device category on the Config tab
(Figure 11).

Use the FutureSmart Level configuration option to specify a number for the HP FutureSmart level that is
available in the firmware that is currently installed on the device. HP Web Jetadmin displays the
range of HP FutureSmart levels that the device supports. If you enter a number outside of the range
that the device supports, HP Web Jetadmin automatically changes the version number to the nearest
minimum or maximum level that the device supports. After changing the HP FutureSmart level, the
device restarts automatically. For more information about HP FutureSmart, see the HP FutureSmart
Solution Web site.
