➢ The Danish keyboard does not contain Danish characters in FutureSmart 4
➢ Unable to print certain PDFs from USB.
➢ Return to "Home" view upon badge authentication - In this release, the device front
panel will return to the primary "Home" screen upon authentication. This behavior
is more consistent with the front panel behavior in FutureSmart 3 during
authentication.
➢ The Main Board hard drive status was not being displayed on Configuration Page.
➢ A 49.38.07 error may be presented on the control panel or internal pages may
not print if there is a prompt to load Letter Any in tray one when printing internal
pages. This was due being allowed to set "Any" as the default paper type.
➢ Resolved an issue wherein when DSS is added or managing a device, it required
the device to ping the DSS server every time prior to allow an authentication to
occur. This led to increased authentication times.
➢ On the initial setup screen the Time Zone drop down menu has been placed
before the selection for the Hours:Minutes.
➢ Mono Copy's may tend to looked washed out.
➢ When changing the printer or MFP's Image registration values for trays in the

➢ If a Domain Controller (DC) refused a connection with the printer (i.e. sent RST in
response to SYN or just did not respond), the printer would go to the "scheduled"
status (a "try again later" strategy). This fix has the printer get the next DC in the
DNS SRV query response and try it. If all DCs in the SRV query response reject
connection attempts, then the printer goes to the "scheduled" status.
➢ Printer is showing offline after registering to Google Cloud Print.

in the group key handshake.
➢ EWS page for setting up Smart Card authentication was changed to indicate that
hostnames for authentication servers need to be entered, not "Trusted Domains".
➢ In the embedded web server under the security tab and access control menu,
removed the individual sign-in methods for the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
These controls offered no advantage since access is determined by the initial sign-
in to the embedded web server. The default sign-in method for the EWS remains if
wanting to change the sign-in prompt to for example request Windows or LDAP
authentication instead.
➢ This firmware disables the "TFTP Configuration File" setting to prevent
unauthorized device resets.

Digital Sending:
➢ User prompted to add contacts when sending to an email address not already
stored in contacts list.
➢ Added a usability improvement for customers using certain pull print &
authentication solutions (such as HP Access Control) which populate the username,
domain & home folder path as attributes. In these environments if the user pre-
authenticates with their badge (taps first) before entering a Save to Network
Folder application quick set configured with Personal Share & verify access, the
device will only require the user's password.
➢ End users now have the ability to browse network folders from the Send to
Network Folder application for CIFS and DFS connections (but not FTP) provided
they have "Ability to edit the network folder path" enabled by their network
administrator.
➢ Added Email Domain Restriction feature which allows the administrator to restrict
the e-mail addresses that can be used in scan to Email jobs (To/Cc/Bcc) and e-
mail job notifications, by restricting the domains to which emails can be sent.
➢ Added additional text to email notifications when users select job notifications for
Save to Network Folder jobs. The text now includes the full path that the job was
sent to.
➢ TWAIN scanning support on Network connected MFPs. The scan can be initiated
using an HP or non HP TWAIN client application. The feature would also support
'Job Reservations' to complete the remote scan requests from the Control Panel of
the MFP.

nor conveyed in the solution itself (e.g. when using HP Access Control and other
pull print solutions). The Save to Network Folder application often is configured to
use the user's credentials to connect to the folder path (e.g. saving to the user's
home directory). It cannot do so without the user's password. In FutureSmart 3.7.3
and later, HP added a feature to prompt for the password more intelligently for the
Save to Network Folder application. This feature was added to FutureSmart 4 as
well, but some improvements were required for the new UI to prompt for all
configurations correctly (whether using regular shared folders, personal folders or
the %HOME_FOLDER% macro for the folder path in shared folders) as well as
cases where verify access is disabled (not recommended).
➢ When performing scan-to-folder feature using preview functionality, the 2nd job is
overwritten by 3rd job and so on.

and then subsequently edited, attempts to use this quickset button trigger "a folder
path is required" error.
➢ Invalid email address error is displayed when utilizing user's signed in credentials
(sign in is required) in a Send To Email job. Despite the error, recipient fields are
populated properly and the email is sent once the message is dismissed by clicking
OK.
➢ Scan To Folder prompting for username and domain when already authenticated.
Should only prompt for password.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: Please be aware that an update in some circumstances may require 30 minutes
or more to complete.
You can send the firmware update to a device at any time; the device will wait for all I/O
channels to become idle before cycling power.
Please print a configuration page prior to performing any firmware update. To print the
configuration page:
On the printed Configuration page look in the section marked "Device Information" for the
Firmware Datecode and Firmware Revision. The Firmware Datecode and Firmware
Revision will look something like this:
Firmware Datecode: 20170315
Firmware Revision: 2403276_005859
The elapsed time for an update 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 depend on the speed of the host
computer sending the update and the I/O method (USB 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
firmware job in the queue will be printed before the update is processed.
NOTE: When the update process has completed the LaserJet will need to be rebooted.
Once the printer is back online, print a Configuration Page and verify that the new
firmware has been installed.
The firmware file will be in the following file format “xxxxxxx.bdl” where “xxx” indicates
the firmware file name and the “.bdl” is the files extension.
