HP Extended Capabilities
When installing the device, you have the option of participating in HP's voluntary program for
communication between your system and HP. This feature, available through software that is included
on the software CD, helps HP monitor toner usage.
If you select the option to participate, you receive an invitation about two weeks after installation. It
contains full disclosure of the information to be communicated. Participation is entirely voluntary, and
the impact on processing and connecting speed is negligible. Personal information is never sent to HP
without permission. TCP/IP addresses are used only to enable the connection and for security purposes.
Figure 2-13 HP Extended Capabilities screen
If you decline the invitation, the dialog box does not appear again and no data is gathered.

HP Status Application
Status will be reported in two ways:
●In the standard MS Windows spooler
●By using the HP Status Application, which provides a more user-friendly method of viewing the
status of the device and the print job
The HP Status Application relays device status through the input/output (I/O) communication interface.
The HP Status Application will provide pop-up error status messages from the time the printer driver is
sending data to the device until the device has completed processing the print data. This includes
printing all of the pages and the device going back to a ready state.

Scanning software
Topics:
●Scanning methods
●HP LaserJet Scan software
●Scan drivers
Scanning methods
Scan from the HP LaserJet device by using any of the following methods.
●From a computer. Click Start, select Programs, select HP, select the name of the device, and
then click M1120 MFP Scan To.
●From a TWAIN- or WIA-compliant software program. Check the Help system in the software
program to learn how to scan from a TWAIN- or WIA-compliant scanner from within that program.
●From the Camera and Scanner Wizard on Windows XP. In MS Windows XP, click Start, click
Control Panel, double-click Scanners and Cameras, and then double-click the HP LaserJet
device scanner icon. The Camera and Scanner Wizard appears. Follow the onscreen directions
to save your scanned item to a file.
HP LaserJet Scan software
Use the HP LaserJet Scan software to scan from the HP LaserJet device or to read from a file, and then
complete any of the following tasks with the data:
●Save the scanned item to a file.
●Attach the scanned item to an e-mail.
●Open the scanned item with any third-party software program that supports the drag-and-drop
function.
●Perform text recognition on the scanned item through Readiris (if Readiris text-recognition software
is installed on the computer).
The HP LaserJet Scan software is set up to scan by default , but the General tab does provide an
override to save a scanned item to a file. This is helpful both for testing when a scanner is not available
and for converting existing files into some other output file type. The following file types are currently
supported:
●.BMP
●.GIF
●.JPG
●.PDF
●.TIFF (both regular and compressed)
ENWW Scanning software 29
Software description
Readiris supports the following output file types:
●.BMP
●.DCA
●.DOC
●.DW
●.HTM
●.MM
●.PDF
●.RTF
●.TXT
●.WP
●.WPS
●.WS
●.WS2
The HP LaserJet Scan software is composed of a simple user interface that provides a Where should
the data go? drop-down menu, a Scan button, a Cancel button, and a Settings... button.
Figure 2-15 hp LaserJet Scan dialog box
The Where should the data go? drop-down menu contains any user-defined Quick Sets and the
following default destinations:
●Save it to a file
●Send it through e-mail
●Send it to another software program
●Send it to the Readiris OCR software (if Readiris software is installed)
Click Settings... to open a more detailed property dialog box called the Scan Settings dialog box, which
contains options to change the scan settings. The tabs that are available in the Scan Settings dialog
box depend on the destination that you select on the Where should the data go? drop-down menu.
For example, the E-mail tab appears only if the selected destination is Send it through e-mail. Quick
Sets are also available to store settings that are used on a regular basis.
30 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
Software description
Figure 2-16 Scan Settings dialog box
If you do not change any settings in the Scan Settings dialog box, the HP LaserJet Scan software
prompts for any needed information, such as a filename if sending the scanned item to a file folder or
an e-mail address if sending the scanned item in e-mail. If you specify an e-mail address in the Scan
Settings dialog box before scanning the item, the e-mail is sent automatically without the new-message
dialog box opening.
Because the Scan Settings dialog box contains only a limited set of variables, more functionality is
available when using command-line arguments.
Every time the HP LaserJet Scan software is used, an HPPSCAN2.LOG file is generated within the
current user's temporary directory. The HPPSCAN2.LOG file develops a log of operations and aids in
troubleshooting problems.
Scanning to a file sends the scanned image to a MY SCANS directory in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
CAUTION: If you move the My Documents folder, the My Scans folder does not follow to the new
location. It remains hard-coded to the current-user's home, and scan jobs continue to be stored there.
Selecting the third-party destination option saves the scanned image to a file of the specified file type.
The HP LaserJet Scan software then starts the specified software program by appending the filename
to the software filename. Because the HP LaserJet Scan software does not support automatic discovery
of software programs, specify the correct software program and specify a file type that the program
supports. The HP LaserJet Scan software opens when the filename is passed as a command-line
argument.
E-mail
The HP LaserJet software for MS Windows supports only 32-bit messaging application programming
interface-(MAPI-) compliant e-mail programs, and does not support Internet-based e-mail programs
such as Hotmail or Yahoo. The following table lists some examples of supported e-mail programs.
ENWW Scanning software 31
Software description
Table 2-1 Supported e-mail programs
Program Name MS Windows OS Macintosh OS
Microsoft Entourage Mac OS X
Microsoft Outlook Yes; Outlook 97, Outlook 98, Outlook 2000, Outlook XP Mac OS X
Microsoft Outlook Express Yes
Lotus Notes Yes; V3.0 and later
E-mail is always sent through the default e-mail client. To identify the default e-mail client in MS Windows
XP (the path varies for other MS Windows operating systems), click Start, click Settings, click Control
Panel, click Network and Internet Options, click Internet Options, click the Programs tab, and look
at the E-mail setting.
Sending a scan to e-mail generally uses the simple MAPI protocol. If the e-mail address is added before
scanning, extended MAPI can be used to avoid security messages while the program tries to send the
e-mail automatically. Setting a MapiLevel registry key forces the scan program to always use either
simple or extended MAPI. This might be required if scanning to e-mail fails even when the default e-
mail client is set up correctly.
Scan drivers
The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series software includes the following integrated scan drivers.
●TWAIN driver
●Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver
TWAIN driver
The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series software includes a TWAIN driver user interface that provides
great flexibility and a wide range of image-quality options. TWAIN is an industry standard scanning
protocol. Initiate scans from the HP LaserJet device by using any TWAIN-compliant program.
TWAIN compatibility
TWAIN-compliant programs acquire documents directly from the HP LaserJet device. Programs that
follow the TWAIN standards should work.
NOTE: HP LaserJet devices support the required core functions for TWAIN compliance, but have only
limited support for extended TWAIN options.
TWAIN scanning does not work with some programs
For programs that are not TWAIN-compliant, use the following process as a workaround.
1. Use the HP LaserJet Scan software to scan the document, in .TIFF format (or any other file type
that the software supports), into a folder.
2. Import the .TIFF file into the program.
Additional information about TWAIN

Optional software
This section describes third-party software programs that the device supports.
Text-recognition software
The device software has an integrated text-recognition feature. This feature is also known as optical
character recognition, or OCR. Text-recognition is also available through the third-party software
program Readiris, which is included on a separate CD that comes with the device.
About text-recognition reliability
Text-recognition software turns an image into computer-editable text by analyzing the image and
defining the characters. The accuracy obtained through text-recognition software depends on the
quality, size, and structure of the original document, and on the quality of the scan itself. To obtain the
best possible results when using text-recognition software, use the following guidelines:
●Scan directly from the text-recognition software.
●Process only pages that contain 9-point text or larger.
●Limit pages that contain underlining, forms, graphics, rotated text, photographs, and handwriting.
●Scan images squarely.
●Make sure that the pages are free of extraneous marks.
●Maximize the scanning resolution. Use a minimum of 300 dpi.
●Process only pages that have crisp, clear text. Letters that have gaps, that "bleed" along their
edges, or that touch other letters do not work well. Text that is aligned closely to nontext items,
such as graphics, might also degrade text-recognition results.
●Fine-tune the amount of black and white on scanned images. See the user guide for information.
●Avoid scanning from thin paper that has information printed on the back side. The information on
the back can bleed through.
Even when following these recommendations, less-than-perfect image results can occur. This is
because text-recognition technology is evolving and is still less than perfect.
Readiris text-recognition software
The Readiris Professional V11.0 text-recognition software by IRIS converts scanned images into text
that can be edited in word-processing programs.
NOTE: The Readiris CD is not set up at fulfillment. The CD is available from Global Support
Organization (GSO) or HP Parts in accordance with contractual and licensing agreements.
The Readiris user interface is available in the following languages:
●Dutch
●English
●French
●German
ENWW Optional software 49
Software description
●Italian
●Korean
●Portuguese-Brazillian
●Simplified Chinese
●Spanish
NOTE: Readiris can perform text recognition (also known as optical character recognition, or OCR)
in 124 languages.
Readiris Professional V11.0 supports text recognition in 2-byte Asian characters. Set the operating
system to display 2-byte characters in order to see the text.
NOTE: For better text-recognition scanning results, start Readiris and scan directly into the program.
Readiris Professional V11.0 automatically starts a wizard to guide this process.
When Readiris is installed on the computer, it appears as an option in the destination dropdown box in
the HP Scan software. Select Readiris as the destination to scan the image into .TIFF format. Readiris
automatically starts the text-recognition process.
The Readiris software uses a separate installer that comes on a separate CD. The initial release of the
HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series includes Readiris Professional (V11.0 for MS Windows, V11.5 for
Macintosh) software.

Host-based driver
features for MS Windows
Introduction to host-based printing
The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP is a host-based device. Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by
computing the print job on the host computer rather than computing it in the device formatter. The
following illustration shows how the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series printing-system software works.
Figure 4-1 HP LaserJet M1120 MFP host-based driver overview
As a host-based printing system, the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP print driver uses MS Windows to convert
the graphics device interface (GDI) or device driver interface (DDI) calls from software programs into
JBIG (standard-compression) compressed pages. These pages are sent in “chunks” through the driver

The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP print driver also receives status messages from the formatter firmware.

Help system
The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series host-based driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide
assistance with printing and configuration options. The following Help options are available:
●What's this? Help
●Context-sensitive Help
●Paper Type Warning
What's this? Help
"What's this?" Help is supported in MS Windows Vista, MS Windows Server 2003, MS Windows XP, or
MS Windows 2000. Access "What's this?" Help messages in the following ways:
●Right-click a control and click What's this?, and a pop-up Help window appears.
●Click the ? button at the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor to an
arrow with a question mark. Use this special cursor to select a control, and the pop-up Help window
for that feature appears.
●Press the F1 key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears.
Context-sensitive Help
Press the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, and context-sensitive Help appears.
Paper Type Warning
Paper type warnings are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific actions. These
messages appear in response to selections that could damage the device. For example, if you select
Bond in the Type is: drop-down menu, a message appears warning you to change the setting before
printing on other types of paper.

Paper/Output
The following settings are in the Paper/Output group box:
●Collate
●Copy
Collate
The Collate option becomes active if the Copy setting is greater than 1. Select Collate to collate multiple
copy print jobs.
Copy
This setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copy count is available
in the software program, set the copy count in the software program. Copy specifies the number of
copies to print.
The requested number of copies appears in the Copy option. Select the number by typing in the box or
by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. For the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series,
valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number
(9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) when the down
arrow is used.
When you click another group box or leave the Advanced tab, invalid entries into the edit box (such as
non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) change to
the last valid value that appeared in the box. The default number of copies is 1.
Because the number of copies can be set from some software programs, conflicts can arise between
the software program and the driver. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate
so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) appears in the other (such as
the driver). For some programs, this communication does not happen, and the copies values are treated
independently. For example, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver
will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. Set the number of copies in the program, wherever
possible.
Printer Features
The following settings are in the Printer Features group box:
●Print all Text as Black
●REt
Print all Text as Black
Print all Text as Black is off by default. When selected, the driver prints all text as black regardless of
the original document text color. However, white text remains white as a fail-safe method of printing
reverse typeface against a dark background. This setting does not affect graphic images on the page.
Print all Text as Black remains selected only for the current print job.
REt
Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) refines the print quality of characters by smoothing out
jagged edges that can occur on the angles and curves of a printed image. It is On by default. Select
Off if graphics, particularly scanned images, are not printing clearly.

Figure 4-4 Paper/Quality tab
Print Task Quick Sets
The first group box in the upper portion of the Paper/Quality tab is Print Tasks Quick Sets. Because
they are all the same control, any change to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the
Paper/Quality tab affects the Print Task Quick Sets group boxes on the other driver tabs. The following
tabs contain Quick Sets group boxes:
●Paper/Quality
●Effects
●Finishing
Use the Print Task Quick Sets setting to store the current combination of driver settings that appears
on all of the other print driver tabs. Print Task Quick Sets are user-defined printing specifications (such
as paper size, pages per sheet, and so on). The Print Task Quick Sets control does not appear on the
driver Properties tabs.
The following selections are available in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu:
●Default Print Settings

Default Print Settings
When you select Default Print Settings, nearly all of the settings are restored to the combination that
existed after the driver was installed (the original settings). However, if the attribute combinations that
are associated with watermark definitions or custom paper sizes have been changed or deleted, the
original settings are not restored.
Type new Quick Set name here appears in the Print Task Quick Sets menu automatically if no other
driver settings have been changed since the driver was installed, or if all of the driver settings match the
original settings. Otherwise, the setting in the Print Task Quick Sets menu is the same label that
appeared when a user on the computer last closed the printing Properties dialog box by clicking OK.

Size is:
The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported paper sizes.
Specify the size for all the settings in the Paper Options group box. You must use the same size of
paper for the entire print job. That is, if the print job uses letter-size paper, any option that you select
from the available Use Different Paper/Covers options must also use letter-size paper.
NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes
within a single document.
For the Other Pages and Back Cover settings, select a source (tray) and paper type that differ from
the settings selected for First Page. If a conflict exists among paper source, paper size, and/or paper
type, and you choose to keep the conflicting settings, the settings are processed in the following order:
paper size, paper type, and then paper source.
Because driver settings are overridden by paper-size settings in most software programs, use the driver
to set paper size only for software programs that don't have a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or
when producing a book or a booklet that does not require different paper sizes.
NOTE: When using a software program that has a paper-size setting, specify different paper sizes
within a single document by using the Use Different Paper/Covers options.

Print Quality
The Print Quality group box contains the Print Quality drop-down box and the EconoMode check
box.
The default setting for Print Quality is FastRes 1200.
This setting controls resolution, which refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) used to print the page.
As resolution is increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on the page is improved.
However, higher resolution might also result in longer printing times. The following Print Quality options
are available in the drop-down box:
●FastRes 1200
●600 dpi
Select the EconoMode check box in conjunction with any of the print quality settings. When using
EconoMode, the device uses less toner on each page. Using this option might extend the life of the print
cartridge and can lower the cost per page, but also reduces print quality. Using the EconoMode feature
with non-HP print cartridges can result in toner spillage or device damage.
Effects tab features
Use the Effects tab to create unique paper effects such as scaling and watermarks. The following

Quick Sets on page 89 in the Paper/Quality tab section of this guide.
Resizing Options
The Resizing Options group box consists of the following controls:
●Actual Size
●Print Document On
●Scale to Fit
●% of Normal Size
Actual Size
Select the Actual Size option to print the page at normal size. This option is the default.
Print Document On
Select the Print Document On option to format the document for one paper size and then print the
document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.
The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
●The % of Normal Size value is not 100.
●The Pages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the available paper sizes. The list
contains all of the standard paper sizes that are supported by the selected paper source and any custom
sizes that have been created. When Print Document On is selected, Scale to Fit is automatically
selected.
Scale to Fit
The Scale to Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the
target paper size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the setting
is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full size
on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image
is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following illustration shows
98 Chapter 4 Host-based driver features for MS Windows ENWW

preview images for a document that is formatted for legal-size paper and where the Print Document
On check box is selected and the target size is specified as Letter.
Figure 4-10 Preview images - Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size,
the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the
target page size.
% of Normal Size
The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default
setting in the entry box is 100% of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size that is selected
within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does
not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and
sends it to the device.
The limits of the range are from 25% to 400%, and any values outside the range are adjusted to those
limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the Tab key is pressed or another
control is selected).
Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the upper-
left corner of the preview.
The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator
is dragged, and the preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the scroll bar arrows
increases or decreases the scale by 1%. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10%.
You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the scroll bar indicator at the default Microsoft Windows
resolution; use the scroll bar indicator to approximate the value, and then use the scroll bar arrows to
refine the value.
The following settings disable % of Normal Size:
●Print Document On (on the Effects tab) is selected
●Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1
Document preview image
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The
document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side up. The
document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of most Printing Preferences driver tabs
(the Paper/Quality, Effects, and Finishing tabs).

Watermarks
Use the Watermarks feature to select a watermark, create a custom watermark (text only), or edit an
existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver.
●Current Watermarks
●Watermark Message
●Message Angle
●Font Attributes
The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system

watermark selected from this list appears in the preview image.
When the First Page Only check box is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the
document. The First Page Only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is "(none)".
Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per Sheet is set to "4" and First
Page Only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical page).
Click Edit, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears.

Click OK to accept all of the changes that are made in the Watermark Details dialog box. However,
clicking Cancel does not cancel all of the changes. If you make changes to a watermark, and then select
a different watermark or click New, all of the changes made to the previous watermark are saved, and
only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled.
Current Watermarks
The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both the predefined
watermarks made available in the driver and any new watermarks that have been created.
To create a new watermark, click New. The new watermark appears in the Current Watermarks list
and in the Watermark Message edit box as "&Units" until you name it. The name typed in the
Watermark Message field appears in the Current Watermarks group box in the Watermark Details
dialog box and in the Watermarks group box on the Effects tab.
To name the new watermark, type the selected watermark text in the Watermark Message edit box.
To delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list and click Delete. A warning
appears asking whether you are sure you want to delete the selected item. Click Cancel if you want to
keep the watermark. Click OK to delete the selected watermark.
NOTE: No more that 30 watermarks can be saved in the Current Watermarks list at one time. When
the limit of 30 watermarks is reached, the New button is disabled.
To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the
Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.
Watermark Message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks
list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, several different
watermarks can contain the message DRAFT, each with a different typeface or font size. When this
occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When
a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the
number increases until the name is unique (Draft #3, Draft #4, and so on).
Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations in
relation to the text on the page. The settings are Diagonal, Horizontal, or Angle (custom). The default
is Diagonal. All three settings automatically center the watermark string within the page; the selection
of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. Diagonal places the text along a
line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page. Horizontal places the text along a line
that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page. Angle places the text at the specified angle
across the page.
Font Attributes
Use the controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the shading, size, and style
of the font.

were printed from, maintaining the same orientation (that is, with the same edge of the page
feeding into the device first).
c. Press the OK button to print the odd-numbered pages.
Flip Pages Up
The Flip Pages Up check box, enabled only when Print on Both Sides is selected, is used to specify
the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip Pages Up check box is not selected. The following table
demonstrates the results of selecting this box, depending on the paper orientation selected on the

Table 4-2 Page orientation
Orientation (Finishing tab) Flip Pages Up selected Flip Pages Up not selected
Portrait Short-edge binding Long-edge binding
Landscape Long-edge binding Short-edge binding
When Print on Both Sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding
along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the
lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side. An arrow on
the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together.
Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a notepad.
Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.
Booklet layout
The Booklet Layout drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices
that are based on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down menu
is Off.
●Left Edge Binding
●Right Edge Binding
Selecting Left Edge Binding or Right Edge Binding changes the document preview image to show
the location of the binding. If the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it automatically
changes to 2 pages per sheet. Changing the Pages per Sheet setting manually to 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages
per sheet disables the booklet setting.

Download new firmware to the device
For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to www.hp.com/support/
lmj1120mfp_firmware
The device can receive a firmware update when the device is in a READY state. The device waits for
all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update.
NOTE: If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory
(NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings will return to default settings.
The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the defaults. Examples of
settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol sets, and Web-access alerts.
132 Chapter 6 Engineering Details ENWW
Engineering Details
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the
device 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). The reinitialization
time depends on the specific hardware configuration of the device, such as the number of EIO devices
installed, the presence of external paper-handling devices, and the amount of memory that is installed.
Finally, any print jobs that are ahead of the RFU job in the queue are printed before the update is
processed.
Use one of the methods described in this manual to update the device firmware.
Device messages during the firmware update
The following table lists the causes and results of possible interruptions to the firmware update.
Table 6-5 Troubleshooting a firmware update
Cause Result
The job was cancelled from the control panel. No update has occurred.
A break in the I/O stream occurred during send (for example,
the parallel cable was removed).
No update has occurred.
A power cycle occurred during the RECEIVING UPGRADE
process.
No update has occurred.
A power cycle occurred during the PERFORMING
UPGRADE process.
No update has occurred. Resend the update through a parallel
port.
A power cycle occurred during the INITIALIZING process. The update has been completed.
Print jobs that are sent to the device while an update is in process do not interrupt the update.
All HP LaserJet devices leave the factory with the most recent firmware version installed. If a remote
firmware update fails in an MS Windows operating system, the .RFU file must be resent.
If a remote firmware update fails in a Macintosh operating system, contact support from an HP Customer
Care Center.
The following table lists possible reasons for the failure of a remote firmware update and the corrective
action required for each situation.
Table 6-6 Troubleshooting a firmware update failure
Reason for firmware update failure Corrective action
The .RFU file is corrupted. The device recognizes that the file is corrupted and rejects the update. Download
the file again and send the new file to the device. Download the file from
www.hp.com/go/ljm1120_firmware.
The wrong device is contained in
the .RFU file.
The device recognizes the device mismatch and rejects the update. Download the
correct file and send it to the devicet. Download the file from www.hp.com/go/
ljm1120_firmware.
The upgrade was interrupted. See Table 6-7 Update messages on page 134.
A flash hardware failure occurred. Although it is extremely unlikely, the devicet might have a hardware failure. Call
technical support to address the problem (see the flyer that came with the device
for a local telephone support list).
ENWW Remote firmware updates 133
Engineering Details
Three messages appear during a normal update process; a fourth (RESEND UPGRADE) appears only
if the update process does not succeed.
Table 6-7 Update messages
Device message Explanation
RECEIVING UPGRADE This message appears from the time the device recognizes the beginning of
an .RFU update until the time the device has verified the validity and integrity of
the .RFU update.
NOTE: If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before the firmware
is downloaded (while RECEIVING UPGRADE appears on the control-panel
display), the firmware file must be sent again. No message appears on the device
control panel to indicate that the update was interrupted.
PERFORMING UPGRADE This message appears while the device is reprogramming the firmware.
NOTE: If power is lost during the flash DIMM update (while PERFORMING
UPGRADE appears on the control-panel display), the update is interrupted and
the message RESEND UPGRADE appears on the control-panel display.
INITIALIZING This message appears from the time that the device has finished reprogramming
the DIMM until the device reinitializes.
RESEND UPGRADE This message appears (in English only) if the firmware update fails because the
RFU process is interrupted. It can also occur if firmware for accessories (such as
the duplex unit or an output device becomes is corrupted. Perform another update
by any means that is supported by the device, regardless of the connection
(network, parallel, or USB).
RFU LOAD ERROR
SEND RFU UPGRADE
This message appears (in English only) if the firmware update fails because the
print-engine firmware is corrupted.
NOTE: To verify that the firmware update succeeded, print a new configuration page from the control
panel and verify that the firmware date code on the configuration page has changed.
