Updating the RIP
Software
1. Ensure that the computer is connected to the Internet.
2. Launch the RIP and open the console (see “Remote Console” on
page 1-26).
In the Server Details section, the following software version num-
bers are displayed:
• Installed — the version currently installed
• Downloaded — the version that was last downloaded, different
from the Installed version if the downloaded software was never
installed
• Latest — the latest version available on the HP FTP site (this is
checked each time the RIP is launched)
Note This feature uses a standard FTP connection to the site
ftp://update.colorspan.com. If this connection is unsuc-
cessful, your Internet connection settings may need to be
adjusted to allow FTP file transfers.
3. If the Latest version is higher than the Downloaded or Installed ver-
sion, a button marked Download version x.x.xx appears.
4. To download the Latest version, click the Download button.
When the software download finishes, a dialog box appears with
instructions.
5. Read the instructions and click the Yes button.
6. On the computer that is running the RIP, shut down the RIP (right-
click the tray icon and select Stop HP RIP Software from the menu.
Then close the browser.)
7. Locate the downloaded update file and double-click its icon to
install the update.
