6 Maintaining the Printer This chapter explains basic printer maintenance. You can find information about the state of the printer and the print cartridges from the Toolbox if you have it installed. You can also perform maintenance functions from the Toolbox. Cleaning the printer Remember to turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning the printer. If using the optional battery, turn off the printer and remove the battery before cleaning.
The ink in the print cartridges has been carefully formulated to ensure superior quality and compatibility with your printer. HP is not responsible for damage to the printer that results from modifying or refilling the print cartridges. There are three cleaning levels available: Level 1 cleaning is the quickest and uses the least amount of ink. Level 2 cleaning should be performed only if level 1 cleaning was insufficient. Level 3 cleaning is the most thorough and consumes the most ink and time.
To perform a level 3 cleaning 1 Press and hold down the POWER BUTTON. 2 While holding down the POWER BUTTON, press the CANCEL BUTTON twice and then press the RESUME BUTTON twice. 3 Release the POWER BUTTON. The printer begins the print cartridge cleaning process. Aligning the print cartridges Whenever you replace a print cartridge, you should align the print cartridges for the best possible print quality.
To align in Macintosh (USB only) 1 Open the HP Inkjet Utility and click the Calibrate Device button. You are prompted to specify the combination of print cartridges you are using. 2 Specify the combination of print cartridges you are using. An alignment page prints. 3 Follow the instructions on the screen to select the best-aligned pattern from the printed page. To align in DOS 1 Run the c:\hp450\align.bat file.
3 Lift the print cartridge latch open and gently remove the print cartridge from its socket at the angle shown below. Check the number on the latch against the number on the new print cartridge to make sure you are removing the correct print cartridge. 57 4 56 Insert the new print cartridge into its socket at the same angle at which you removed the old print cartridge. Check the number on the latch against the number on the print cartridge to make sure you are inserting the correct print cartridge.
Single-cartridge printing mode If one of your print cartridges runs out of ink before you can replace it, you can still print with a single print cartridge. Printing with one print cartridge may be slower, and colors will differ from those when both print cartridges are installed. It is recommended to install both print cartridges. If you do not have a replacement black print cartridge available, you can remove the black print cartridge and print with only the tri-color print cartridge.
3 Click Calibrate to calibrate the color, or click Use Defaults to restore color values to factory defaults. 4 Follow the instructions on the screen. For Macintosh 1 Open the HP Inkjet Utility and click the Calibrate Color button. 2 Follow the instructions on the screen. Replaceable ink service module The replaceable ink service module holds waste ink from the black print cartridge. When it is almost full, the printer LEDs will prompt you to replace it. See LED Reference.
7 Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to common problems, such as paper jams and poor print quality. If your printer is not operating properly and these suggestions do not solve your problem, try to print a diagnostic page, and then contact HP Customer Support (see Printing diagnostic and configuration pages and Customer Support).
Step 3: Check the printer connection Parallel or USB Make sure your printer is connected directly to the parallel or USB port. Do not share the port with other devices, such as a Zip drive. Make sure the cable is connected firmly to the printer and computer. Infrared Make sure any necessary software is installed in the host device, for example, BtPrint for Palm OS PDA users. If you are still having problems, consult the infrared documentation for the PDA or laptop device.
CompactFlash If the Resume LED does not blink after inserting the CompactFlash (CF) card, this means there are no DPOF files created on the CF card. To print from the CF card, you need to specify your print settings in a DPOF file so that the printer can print out images specified in the DPOF file. See Printing digital camera photographs. Step 4: Check the printer selection Make sure your printer is selected as the current or default printer.
Getting printer information If you need to call the Customer Care Center, you should print a diagnostic page and a configuration page to obtain printer information. Such information is useful to our Customer Care Center in helping you troubleshoot printer problems. You can also get printer information from the Toolbox by clicking Printer Hardware under the Information tab. Information on the printer, battery, connectivity, and media types used is available.
If your printer does not turn on, make sure that the power cord and power adapter are firmly connected to the printer and that the power cord is connected from your printer to a working outlet. Try turning the printer off and then on again. If this does not solve the problem, turn off the printer, unplug the power adapter from the printer, wait a few seconds, and reconnect the power. If you still cannot turn the printer on, you might have a faulty power cord.
For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, make sure the Use Printer Offline option is not checked. Click Start > Settings > Printers. In the Printers folder, right-click the printer icon, and then make sure Use Printer Offline is unchecked in the pop-up menu. For Windows, make sure the Print to file option is not checked in the Print dialog box. For Windows, try checking Print directly to the printer from the Advanced tab in the Printer Properties dialog box.
Check the status of the print cartridges If you are printing with a single print cartridge, the print speed may be slower than normal. See Single-cartridge printing mode. Check available system resources If less than 80 percent of the computer resources are available, printing can be significantly slower. To make more computer resources available, close all unused applications and resend your print job. If necessary, restart your system and then resend your print job.
Solving printing problems This section provides solutions to common printing problems. If none of the following solutions work, the problem is likely caused by the inability of the software program to properly interpret print settings. Check the release notes on the Starter CD for known software conflicts. Otherwise, check your software program manual, or call the software manufacturer for more specific help with the problem.
Check the document file Occasionally, a document file becomes corrupted. If you can print other documents from the same software application, try to print using a backup copy of your document, if available. Check the symbol set If you are using DOS, use the Deskjet Control Panel (DJCP) to set the appropriate symbol set for the language of your document.
Check that the media is loaded correctly Make sure the media is squarely against the alignment guide and that the paper guide is snug, but not tight, against the media. Load no more than 45 sheets of media or a stack 0.18 in (4.5 mm) thick loaded in the input tray. Use the card slot for media 4.72 in (120 mm) width or less. Ensure the paper guide on the slot fits snugly against the media. Adjust the paper guide on the slot until it fits snugly against the left edge of the media.
Alternatively, in Windows you can open the printer driver and click HP ZoomSmart in the Setup tab. Then select Scale to fit paper in device to scale the document to fit the media size currently selected. Use the card slot for media 4.72 in (120 mm) width or less. Ensure the paper guide on the slot fits snugly against the media. Adjust the paper guide on the slot until it fits snugly against the left edge of the media.
Check the media type Some types of media do not accept ink well, which causes the ink to dry more slowly and results in smearing. Some thicker cards may also tend to smear. For guidelines about selecting media, see Selecting print media. Check that the media is loaded print-side up. Check that the correct media type is selected in the printer driver.
If you have the tri-color and photo print cartridges installed, try calibrating the color. For instructions, see Calibrating color. Colors are printing as black and white Check the printer driver settings For Windows, the Print In Grayscale check box is probably selected. From your software application, open the Printer Properties dialog box. Click the Color tab and make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected.
Bleeding colors in printout If the ink is spreading on the page or colors are blending together, try the following: Check the print settings Some paper type settings (such as Transparency Films and Photo Papers) and print quality settings (such as Best) require more ink than others. Choose different print settings in the printer driver. Also, make sure that you have selected the correct media type in the printer driver.
Wireless printing problems Infrared printing does not work Check for obstacles Clear any obstacles between the printer and the device from which you are sending the print job. Sunlight, heat from nearby equipment, or other sources of infrared radiation can also cause transmission errors. Move closer to the printer Make sure the device is no more than three feet (one meter) from the printer when you send the print job, and that the ports face each other as squarely as possible.
Solving media feed problems This section provides solutions to common media feed problems. Media is not picked up from the input tray Make sure to pull up the input tray extension. Remove the media, fan it, and reload. Make sure the media is squarely against the alignment guide and that the paper guide is snug, but not tight, against the media. For media using the card slot, make sure the media is aligned squarely against the right edge of the card slot.
Print media is jammed If print media is jammed in the printer, follow these instructions to clear the jam. 1 Turn off the printer. 2 Remove media that is not jammed from the input tray and the output slot. Do not stick your hands in the input tray. Use tweezers instead and be careful not to scratch the inside of the printer. 3 Locate the media jam. 4 If the media is visible from the output slot, pull it out from the slot. Otherwise, open the front access cover and clear jammed media.
Tips for avoiding paper jams Make sure nothing is blocking the paper path. Do not overload the input tray or the card slot. The input tray holds up to 45 sheets of plain paper or other print media measuring 0.18 in (4.5 mm) in thickness. Load paper properly, making sure the paper is squarely against the alignment guide and that the paper guide is snug, but not tight, against the paper. For cards, make sure they are aligned squarely against the right edge of the card slot.
