All HP LaserJet devices leave the factory with the most recent firmware version installed. If a remote
firmware update fails for the component, the .RFU file must be resent. The only component exception
is the formatter. See
Table 6-2 Firmware update messages on page 258 for information regarding a
formatter update error.
Because a firmware update cannot be resent over a USB for when using a Macintosh operating system,
contact an HP Customer Care Center if a remote update fails in a Macintosh operating system.
