• Digital Sending: Added an option to block the creation of custom quickset.
• Analog Fax: No New Updates.
• Security/Authentication: No New Updates.
• Embedded JetDirect: No New Updates.

FIXES:

• Base: When changing the default number of copies from either the control panel or EWS, the copy count does not get reflected on the home screen.
• Base: Performance improvements to reduce the time taken to sign in an authenticated user.
• Base: When Alternative Letterhead Mode (ALM) is enabled and a Tray is set to Preprinted (or Letterhead), and a PCL5 print job is sent to the printer that includes Paper Size and Tray Source but no Paper Type command, the Job should inherit Paper Type from the Tray setting and process the page using ALM logic. Instead, the printer crashes with a 49.38.07 error and a reboot is required. This defect has been addressed.
• Base: You may see a 42.26.00 error when printing certain files through the direct PDF print path.
• Base: Device may not wake up from sleep after sleeping for a long period of time. Control panel will be dim and unresponsive.

• Base: 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 to being allowed to set "Any" as the default paper type.
• Base: 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 allowing an authentication to occur. This led to increased authentication times.
• Base: On the initial setup screen, the Time Zone drop-down menu has been placed before the selection for the Hours:Minutes.
• Base: When changing the printer or MFP's Image registration values for trays in the Embedded Web Server, you will see an error message presented on the EWS screen. This is seen when the language is set to something other than English.
• Base: A 49.DE.11 error may be presented on the control panel when retrieving stored jobs or performing other activities with the fax functionality.
• Base: PJL INFO STATUS does not return information on device status while waking up from sleep.
• Digital Sending: In certain circumstances, a user would be prompted for credentials when they try to use the "Browse" feature during a scan-to-folder operation, even when the "Always use these credentials" option was chosen and valid credentials had been entered into the setup. This fix ensures that the Browse feature utilizes these credentials whenever possible.
• Digital Sending: Performing a Scan to Network folder job with the custom subfolder option of UserName generates sub folders with every new scan when settings are retained.
• Analog Fax: No New Updates.
• Security/Authentication: No New Updates.
• Embedded JetDirect: 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.

• Base: An additional field is added in EWS to configure the Custom media type to True/False for asymmetric media type. This setting, when enabled, determines if Alternative Letterhead Mode, when enabled, should be applied on this specific User defined media type or not.
• Base: Provides the ability to disable the default SNMPv3 passphrase complexity.
• Base: Embedded Job Accounting with Statistics - a simple server-less embedded solution that provides the ability to track, report, and account for individual use via PIN on the MFP and via HP UPD.
• Base: Improvements to reduce the occurrence of System Busy message seen during Digital Send and Copy jobs.
• Digital Sending: The length of the Quickset name has been increased to 100 characters and the description field has been increased to 300 characters.
• Analog Fax: No New Updates.
• Security/Authentication: Increased number of certificates allowed in the certificate store to 200.
• Embedded JetDirect: No New Updates.

FIXES:

• Base: Certain Direct PDF printing causes the middle of the page to no longer be gradient.
• Base: Printer reports itself as wrong model speed in driver or OID value even though the printer prints and copies at the correct speed.
• Base: Time/clock may be off by one hour in southern hemisphere time zones.
• Base: Device may not wake up from sleep after sleeping for a long period of time. Control panel will be dim and unresponsive.
• Base: Message Center instructions missing.
• Base: Improvements to address book performance.
• Base: A slight decrease in Quick Set entry time has been added in this release.
• Base: A slight decrease to first copy page out time is provided in this firmware release.
• Base: Physical and virtual keyboards on Workflow device are not synchronizing when pressing the caps lock.
• Digital Sending: Improvements to the overall digital send and copy performance experience.
• Digital Sending: Operation Failed message on UI during address lookup on devices with windows embedded auth/DSS email/DSS ldap addressing.
• Digital Sending: Scan quality improvements for jobs scanned with high compression.
• Analog Fax: No New Updates.
• Security/Authentication: Shortened timeout and added descriptive error for the case where a server completes the TCP handshake with the server but fails to negotiate the SMB protocol.
• Security/Authentication: This firmware addresses the following security issues: CVE-2017-13077: Reinstallation of the pairwise encryption key (PTK-TK) in the 4-way handshake. CVE-2017-13078: Reinstallation of the group key (GTK) in the 4-way handshake. CVE-2017-13079: Reinstallation of the integrity group key (IGTK) in the 4-way handshake. CVE-2017-13080: Reinstallation of the group key (GTK) in the group key handshake. CVE-2017-13081: Reinstallation of the integrity group key (IGTK) in the group key handshake.
• Security/Authentication: EWS page for setting up Smart Card authentication was changed to indicate that hostnames for authentication servers need to be entered, not "Trusted Domains".
• Security/Authentication: 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.
• Security/Authentication: This firmware disables the "TFTP Configuration File" setting to prevent unauthorized device resets.
• Embedded JetDirect: No New Updates.
