Hi @nnttco,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I understand how important it is to access the Preboot Mode on your HP Color LaserJet MFP M177, especially when you're trying to troubleshoot or update firmware. Let’s walk through the steps.

How to Enter Preboot Mode on HP LaserJet MFP M177

This process is a bit delicate, so take it slow:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Turn off the printer completely.
  2. Turn it back on and immediately start pressing the Home button repeatedly on the printer’s control panel.
  3. Keep pressing until the Preboot menu appears
    • This may take a few tries, especially if the printer boots quickly.
    • If it doesn’t work the first time, try again with slightly faster timing.


Once you're in the Preboot menu, you can:

  • Navigate using the arrow keys or touchscreen (if available).
  • Access Administrator options.
  • Perform tasks like firmware updates, partial clean, or diagnostics.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
