HP Designjet T790 and T1300 ePrinter Series - Using your printer

●
A firmware update package can be large; you may want to consider whether there are any
implications for your network or Internet connection. Downloads made with a Jetdirect adaptor are
slower than those made with the built-in Ethernet adaptor.
●
A firmware update is downloaded in the background: the printer can be printing at the same time.
However, it cannot be installed in the background: printing must stop.
Manual firmware updates
Manual firmware updates can be performed in the following ways:
●
Using the Embedded Web Server, select the Firmware update maintenance tab and then
Firmware update. Press Check now to check whether new firmware is available. If new
firmware is available, some information about the new firmware is displayed, and you are given
the opportunity to download and install it.
●
Using the HP Utility under Windows, select your printer, the Support tab and then Firmware
Update.
●
Using the HP Utility under Mac OS, select Firmware Update in the Support group.
●
Using HP Web Jetadmin, with which you can make manual firmware updates or request automatic
updates.
●
Using a USB flash drive. Download the firmware file from
http://www.hp.com/go/T790/
firmware or http://www.hp.com/go/T1300/firmware (according to your printer model) into the
USB flash drive and insert it into the Hi-Speed USB host port beside the front panel. A firmware
update assistant will appear on the front panel to guide you through the update process.
Update the software
To update printer drivers and other software for your printer, go to http://www.hp.com/go/T790/
drivers or http://www.hp.com/go/T1300/drivers.
If your operating system is Windows, HP Software Update regularly offers to update your software
automatically.
Printer maintenance kits
Four maintenance kits are available for your printer, containing components that may need to be
replaced after long use. When one of them is needed, a message is displayed on the front panel and
by the HP Utility.
When you see the message, you should contact HP Support (see
Contact HP Support on page 203)
and request the maintenance kit. The kits are installed by service engineers only.
Secure Disk Erase
The printer's hard disk is used as a temporary storage area for print jobs. The Secure Disk Erase facility
can completely erase your information from the hard disk to protect it from unauthorized access. You
can choose to erase particular files, or the whole hard disk.
