WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A REMOTE CUSTOM COLOR TABLE UPGRADE?
The CLJ Custom Color Table Remote Upgrade file available from the HP web site contains a custom color table. When the Remote Custom Color Table Upgrade file is sent to the printer, the printer's custom color table is upgraded. The printer's firmware and all paper handling accessory's firmware is not modified.

TABLES PROVIDED WITH THIS UPDATE
cp4005_clj4650_1_1.rfu -- A simulation of the HP CLJ4650 series printers in their default state. Version 1.1

Files names are constructed as follows:
cp####_{what}_{ver}.rfu

Where:
cp#### is the printer model number the color table is for
{what} is a one word description of what the table will do
{ver} is a two part version number consisting of a major and minor value

ie.
clj4700_clj9500_1_1.rfu is an HP CLJ9500 emulation for the CLJ4700 version 1.1

Note: Ensure your printer model matches the model described in the filename.

Note: This update affects both the RGB and CMYK custom slots of your printer

While every care was taken to ensure a close match was made during the creation of these tables, there are several factors that can affect the outcome of the match including, but not limited to,

- differences between printers within and between a given model line
- the media type used
- the age and state of both printers being compared
- the use of non-HP supplies
- environmental conditions

To access the new table, be sure to select "Custom Profile" from the RGB and/or CMYK color options.

To check if a custom color table is being used, refer to the configuration page for a "@" mark next to the "Last DMax/DHalf:" line under the "Calibration Information" sub-section.

NOTE: Please be aware that an upgrade in some circumstances may require approximately ten minutes to complete.

UPGRADING THE CUSTOM COLOR TABLE TO A SINGLE PRINTER
You can send an .RFU upgrade to a printer at any time; the printer will wait for all I/O channels to become idle before cycling power.

NOTE: If the custom color table upgrade involves a change in the format of NVRAM, the NVRAM settings will be lost and must be set again by the customer.

The elapsed time for an upgrade depends on the I/O transfer time as well as the time that it takes for the printer to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time will depend on a number of things including the speed of the host computer sending the upgrade and the I/O method (FIR, parallel, or network). The re-initialization time will depend on the specific hardware configuration of the printer, such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paper handling devices, and the amount of memory installed. Finally, any print jobs ahead of the .RFU job in the queue will be printed before the .RFU upgrade is processed.

NOTE: The printer will automatically restart after processing the upgrade.

FOR WINDOWS SYSTEMS
-- If the printer is shared on the network, then the following command can be issued from a command prompt:

copy /b <FILENAME> \\<SHARENAME>\<PRINTERNAME>

where <FILENAME> is the name of the .RFU file, <SHARENAME> is the name of the machine, from which the printer is being shared, and <PRINTERNAME> is the printer's share name (do not type the angle brackets).

-- If the printer is on the network with an IP Address, then the following command can be issued from a command prompt:

LPR -S<IPADDRESS> -Pbinps <FILENAME>

where <FILENAME> is the name of the .RFU file

(For EXAMPLE, LPR -S192.0.0.192 -Pbinps C:\cp4005_clj9500_1_1.rfu)

It is very important to keep the correct spacing and capitalization.

-- If the printer is attached locally, then the .RFU file can be sent directly to the printer with a COPY command from a command prompt or DOS window:

copy /b <FILENAME> <PORTNAME>

(FOR EXAMPLE, copy /b C:\cp4005_clj9500_1_1.rfu LPT1)

where <FILENAME> is the name of the .RFU file and <PORTNAME> is the name of the appropriate printer port (such as LPT 1).

Setting the following on the printer's control panel may help if a timeout message is seen on the computer monitor during an upgrade:

1. Press 4 (Configure Device Menu)
2. Press 5 (I/O menu)
3. Press 1 (I/O Timeout setting)
4. Enter 300 and press select (Sets timeout to 300 seconds)
5. Press Resume/Start

From a command prompt or DOS window type the following command and press the enter key:

Mode lpt1:,,p

If the printer is attached to a parallel port other than LPT1, then substitute the proper LPT port number in the MODE command.

Once this command has been set, the file can then be copied to the printer with the above mentioned COPY command.

*You can also send the file via a Fast Infrared (FIR) port.

USING FTP FROM INTERNET BROWSER
"Folder View" Option Required

1. Take note of the TCP/IP address from the Configuration page.
2. Open a browser window.
3. In the address line of the browser, type FTP://<IPADDRESS>, where <IPADDRESS> is the TCP/IP address of your product. For example, if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.90, type FTP://192.168.0.90
4. Locate the downloaded .RFU file for the product.
5. Drag and drop the .RFU file onto the PORT1 icon in the browser window.

USING FTP
Remote custom color table update using FTP on a direct network connection

If your HP LaserJet product uses a direct network connection, you can use file transfer protocol (FTP) to update your HP Color LaserJet custom color table.

Complete the following steps:

1. Take note of the TCP/IP address on the Configuration page. NOTE: Before connecting to the printer, make sure that the printer is not in Powersave mode. Also make sure that any error messages are cleared from the control panel display.
2. Open a DOS command window on your computer.
3. Type FTP <IPADDRESS> (for example,if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.90, type FTP 192.168.0.90)
4. Press ENTER on the keyboard.
5. When prompted for user name and password, press ENTER for each.
6. Type BIN at the >prompt.
7. Press ENTER.
8. Type PUT <path> where <path> is the location where the .RFU file was downloaded from the Web. For example, type:
   PUT C:\CP4005\cp4005_clj9500_1_1.rfu and then press ENTER.
9. Once the download process begins and the firmware is updated on the printer, you can type "BYE" at the command prompt and then press ENTER to exit the FTP session.
