Printer software Software provided The printer comes with printing software and other helpful software on a CD. If your computer does not have a CD drive but you have access to one, you can copy the software onto diskettes for installation into your computer. See the getting started guide for installation instructions. The printer drivers provided on the CD must be installed to take full advantage of printer features. The other software programs are recommended, but are not required for operation.
Depending on the configuration of Windows-based computers, the installation program for the printer software automatically checks the computer for Internet access and can obtain the latest software. If you do not have access to the Internet, see "HP Customer Care Service and Support" on page 157 for information on obtaining the most recent software. Included with the printer is a CD containing the HP LaserJet Printing System.
Printer drivers Printer drivers access the printer features and allow the computer to communicate with the printer (via a printer language). Note Check the ReadMe.wri file provided on the CD for additional software included and supported languages. Certain printer features are available only from the PCL 6 drivers. See the printer software help for availability of features. The following printer drivers are included with the printer. The most recent drivers are available at http://www.hp.
Software for Windows-based computers Network administrators: If the printer is attached to a network through an HP JetDirect EIO card, the printer must be configured for that network before you can print. For Microsoft and Novell NetWare networks, you can use the printer installation software. For other options, refer to the HP JetDirect Print Server Administrator’s Guide (included with printers that contain an HP JetDirect print server).
Choose the right printer driver for your needs Choose a printer driver based on the way you use the printer. ● Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the printer’s features. Unless backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6 driver is recommended. ● Use the PCL 5e driver if you want print results to look comparable to those from older printers, or for font DIMM support. ● Use the PS driver for compatibility with PostScript Level 2.
HP JetSend communications technology HP JetSend is a technology from HewlettPackard that allows devices to communicate with each other simply and directly. HP JetSend is built into your printer, allowing it to receive information from any HP JetSendenabled sending device anywhere on your network, whether it is in the same office or at a remote location. When you use the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver accessory, your printer can also receive information from any HP JetSend-enabled infrared device.
How the JetSend communications technology works Networked devices To use the HP JetSend capability between networked devices, print a configuration page to find your HP JetSend IP address, and give your address to anyone who wants to send information to your printer via HP JetSend. (See “Configuration page” on page 152.) From an HP JetSend sending device, a person only needs to enter the printer’s IP address and press “send.

42 Chapter 1 - Printer basics EN
2 Printing tasks Overview This chapter presents basic printing tasks, such as: ● selecting the output bin ● loading the trays ● printing on both sides of paper with the optional duplexer ● printing on special paper, such as letterhead and transparencies ● using the optional power envelope feeder This chapter also introduces some advanced printing tasks: EN ● printing multiple originals ● creating Quick Sets to save the printer’s setup information for different kinds of print jobs ● printi
Selecting the output bin The printer has two output locations: the rear output bin and the top output bin. To use the top output bin, be sure the rear output bin is closed. To use the rear output bin, open it. ● If paper coming out of the top output bin has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output bin. ● To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the printer is printing.
Printing to the rear output bin The printer always prints to the rear output bin if it is open. Paper printed to this bin will be face-up, with the last page on top. To open the rear output bin, grasp the handle at the top of the bin. Pull the bin down, and slide out the extension. Printing from tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest paper path (which can reduce curl).
Loading tray 1 1 2 3 Tray 1 is a multi-purpose tray that holds up to 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes, or 20 index cards. The printer’s default is to pull paper from tray 1 first. To change this, see “Customizing tray 1 operation” on page 69. Tray 1 provides a convenient way to print envelopes, transparencies, custom-size paper, or other types of media without having to unload the other trays. It can also be used just as a convenient additional input tray.
Loading trays 2, 3, and 4 1 2A Trays 2, 3, and 4 are 500-sheet paper trays. Tray 3 is optional and comes with the 4100TN and 4100DTN models. Tray 4 is an additional 500-sheet option. The trays adjust for six standard sizes of media, as well as for many custom sizes (for details, see “Supported sizes and weights of paper - trays 2, 3, and 4” on page 190). Three adjustments on the trays let the printer sense the paper size that is loaded.
3 4 3 Load paper into the tray. 4 Make sure the paper is flat in the tray at all four corners and below the front and back tabs. 5 Slide the tray back into the printer. Note If the tray is not properly adjusted, the printer might display an error message or paper might jam. For paper orientation when you are printing on both sides, see “Printing both sides of paper (optional duplexer)” on page 49. For information on loading special paper, see “Printing special paper” on page 53.
Printing both sides of paper (optional duplexer) The printer can automatically print on both sides of paper with an optional duplex printing accessory (duplexer). This is called duplexing. The duplexer supports the following paper sizes: Letter, Legal, Executive, A4, and B5 (JIS). It does not support custom sizes. Note See the documentation included with the duplexer for installation instructions. Duplexing might require additional memory (see “Printer memory and expansion” on page 229).
Guidelines for printing both sides of paper Note the following guidelines: ● Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, envelopes, vellum, or paper heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m2). Paper jamming might occur with these types of media, and damage to the printer might occur with labels. ● You might need to configure the printer driver to recognize the duplexer. (See the printer driver online help for details.
Placement for paper requiring a specific orientation Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you duplex—for example, letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. The duplexer prints the second side of paper first. Orient paper in the trays as shown below. Tray 1 Trays 2, 3, 4 For tray 1, load the front side facing down and the top toward you. For all other trays, load the front side facing up and the top toward the printer.
Layout options for printing both sides of paper The four duplex orientation options are shown below. These options can be selected from the printer driver or from the printer control panel (set BINDING from the Paper Handling Menu and ORIENTATION from the Printing Menu). 1. Long-edge portrait 2 2. Long-edge landscape* 2 3 5 2 3 5 5 3 2 5 3 3. Short-edge portrait* 4. Short-edge landscape 1. Long-edge portrait 2. Long-edge landscape 3. Short-edge portrait 4.
Printing special paper This section discusses printing on types of paper that require special handling: ● “Printing small or narrow paper” on page 53 ● “Printing letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper (singlesided)” on page 53 ● “Printing envelopes” on page 55 ● “Printing labels” on page 61 ● “Printing transparencies” on page 62 ● “Printing cards, custom-size, and heavy paper” on page 63 Printing small or narrow paper Follow the guidelines below if you will be printing primarily on small or
For tray 1, load paper with the side-to-be-printed facing up, and the top, short edge toward the printer. Paper orientation for tray 1 For all other trays, load paper with the side-to-be-printed facing down, and the top edge toward you.
Printing envelopes With the optional envelope feeder, the printer will automatically feed up to 75 envelopes. To order an envelope feeder, see “Ordering information” on page 22. To print with the envelope feeder, see “Feeding envelopes automatically (optional envelope feeder)” on page 57. For envelope specifications, see “Envelopes” on page 197. Many types of envelopes can be printed from tray 1. Up to 10 can be stacked in the tray. Printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope.
Loading envelopes in tray 1 1 Open tray 1, but do not pull out the extension. (Most envelopes feed best without the extension. However, oversize envelopes might need the extension.) 2 Load up to 10 envelopes in the center of tray 1 with the side-to-beprinted facing up, and the postageend toward the printer. Slide the envelopes into the printer as far as they will go without forcing them. 3 Adjust the guides to touch the envelope stack without bending the envelopes.
Feeding envelopes automatically (optional envelope feeder) With the optional envelope feeder, the printer will automatically feed up to 75 envelopes. To print envelopes without an envelope feeder, see “Printing envelopes” on page 55. The envelope feeder supports only standard-size envelopes (see “Supported sizes and weights of paper - optional envelope feeder” on page 191). Note See the documentation included with the envelope feeder for installation instructions.
Inserting and removing the envelope feeder 1 1 Open tray 1. 2 Remove the plastic cover from the printer. (Replace the cover when the envelope feeder is not attached.) 3 Insert the envelope feeder into the printer until it locks into place. (The connector on the top right side of the envelope feeder fits into the plug in the printer.) Pull gently on the envelope feeder to be sure that it is securely in place.
Loading envelopes in the envelope feeder 1 2 3 Note Print only on envelopes approved for use in the printer (see “Printing envelopes” on page 55 and “Envelopes” on page 197). 1 Fold down the tray extension. Lift the envelope weight. 2 Squeeze the release lever on the left envelope guide and slide the guides apart. 3 Load envelopes into the envelope feeder with the side-to-be-printed facing up, and the postage end toward the printer.
4 5 60 Chapter 2 - Printing tasks 4 Adjust the guides to touch the envelopes without bending them. Make sure the envelope feeder is not overfilled. 5 Lower the envelope weight onto the envelopes. Note Select the envelope size from the software application (if the setting is available), the printer driver, and the Paper Handling Menu in the printer control panel (see “Paper Handling Menu” on page 210).
Printing labels Use only labels recommended for use in laser printers. Make sure that labels meet the correct specifications (see “Labels” on page 196). Do: ● Print a stack of up to 50 labels from tray 1 or a stack of 50 to 100 labels from other trays. ● Load labels in tray 1 with the side-to-be-printed facing up, and the top, short edge toward the printer. For other trays, load paper with the side-to-be-printed facing down, and the top edge toward you.
Printing transparencies Use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. For transparency specifications, see “Transparencies” on page 196 ● Load transparencies face up in tray 1 with the top toward the printer. Up to 50 transparencies can be loaded in tray 1. ● A stack of 50 to 100 transparencies can be printed from tray 2, 3, or 4 (although stacking more than 50 at a time is not recommended). Because transparencies are heavier than paper, do not load tray 2, 3, or 4 to capacity.
Printing cards, custom-size, and heavy paper Custom-size paper can be printed from any tray. For paper specifications, see “Paper specifications” on page 188. Tray Minimum size Maximum size Tray 1 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in) 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in) Tray 2, 3, or 4 148 by 210 mm (5.8 by 8.2 in) 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in) The maximum paper weight is 199 g/m2 (53 lb) from tray 1 and 105 g/m2 (28 lb) from trays 2, 3, and 4.
Note Settings in the printer driver and software application override control panel settings. (Software application settings generally override printer driver settings.) X (front edge) Feed short edge first Y (side edge) If the settings are not available from the software, set the custom paper size from the control panel: 1 From the Printing Menu set CONFIGURE CUSTOM PAPER=YES. 2 From the Printing Menu, select inches or millimeters as the unit of measurement.
Advanced printing tasks This section will help you take full advantage of the printer’s features. Using features in the printer driver When you print from a software application, many of the printer’s features are available from the printer driver. To access Windows printer drivers, see “Access the Windows printer driver” on page 36. Note Certain printer features might not be available with all drivers. Check the drivers for available options.
Saving printer setup information (Quick Sets) Printer drivers allow you to save the printer settings you use most often as the default settings. For example, the driver might be set to print on letter size paper, portrait orientation, with automatic tray selection (from the first available tray). Windows PCL 6 and PCL 5e printer drivers will allow you to save printer settings for multiple kinds of print jobs.
Different first page Follow these instructions for printing a first page that is different from other pages in the print job. 1 For Windows, select “Use different paper for first page” in your printer driver. Choose one tray (or Manual Feed) for the first page and one of the other trays for the remaining pages. Place the paper for the first page in tray 1 (or whichever tray you selected). (For manual feed, place paper in tray 1 after the job is sent to the printer and the printer requests paper.
Customizing what tray is used for printing Understanding tray order When the printer receives a print job, it selects the paper tray by trying to match the requested paper type and size with what has been loaded in the trays. Using an “autoselect” process, it searches all available input paper trays for the paper that satisfies the request, starting with the bottom tray and ending with the top tray (tray 1). The printer begins printing the job as soon as it finds the proper type/size.
Customizing tray 1 operation The printer can be set to print from tray 1 as long as it is loaded, or to print only from tray 1 if the type of paper loaded is specifically requested. Set TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST or TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE in the Paper Handling Menu at the printer control panel (see “Paper Handling Menu” on page 210). Setting Explanation TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST Means that the printer usually pulls paper from tray 1 first unless it is empty or closed.
Printing by type and size of paper (locking trays) You can configure the printer to select paper by type (such as plain or letterhead) and size (such as letter or A4), as opposed to source (a paper tray). See “Supported sizes and weights of paper” on page 189 and “Supported types of paper” on on page 192.
• Optional envelope feeder: Set the paper size from the Paper Handling Menu. 4 Note From the software or printer driver, select the desired type and size of paper. The type and size settings can also be configured from HP Web JetAdmin software for networked printers. See the printer driver online help. To print by type and size, it might be necessary to unload or close tray 1, or set TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE from the Paper Handling Menu in the printer control panel.
Job retention features To use the job retention features listed below, you must install a hard disk accessory in the printer and properly configure the drivers. To support job retention features for complex jobs, HP recommends that you install additional memory (see “Ordering information” on page 22). CAUTION Make sure to identify your jobs in the printer driver before printing. Using default names may override previous jobs with the same default name or cause the job to be deleted.
Deleting a quick copy job When a user sends a quick copy job, the printer overwrites any previous jobs with the same user and job name. If there is not a quick copy job already stored under the same user and job name and the printer needs additional space, the printer may delete other quick copy jobs starting with the oldest job. The default number of quick copy jobs that can be stored is 32.
Proofing and holding a job The proof and hold feature provides a quick and easy way to print and proof one copy of a job and then print the additional copies. To permanently store the job and prevent the printer from deleting it when space is needed for something else, select the Stored Job option in the driver. Printing the remaining copies of a held job The user can print the remaining copies of a job held on the printer’s hard disk accessory from the control panel.
Deleting a held job When a user sends a proof and hold job, the printer automatically deletes that user’s previous proof and hold job. If there is not a proof and hold job already for that job name and the printer needs additional space, the printer may delete other proof and hold jobs starting with the oldest one. Note EN If you turn the printer off, all quick copy, proof and hold, and private jobs are deleted. A job can also be deleted from the control panel.
Printing a private job The private printing feature lets a user specify that a job is not printed until that user releases it using a 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) through the printer control panel. The user specifies the PIN in the driver and it is sent to the printer as part of the print job. Specifying a private job To specify that a job is private from the driver, select the Private Job option and type a 4-digit PIN.
Deleting a private job A private job is automatically deleted from the printer’s hard disk accessory after the user releases it for printing, unless the user selects the Stored Job option in the driver. Note EN If you turn the printer off, all quick copy, proof and hold, and private jobs are deleted. A private job can also be deleted from the printer control panel before it is ever printed. 1 Press MENU repeatedly until PRIVATE/STORED JOBS MENU appears. 2 Press ITEM until the desired user name appears.
Storing a print job The user can download a print job to the printer’s hard disk accessory without printing it. The user can then print the job at any time through the printer control panel. For example, a user may want to download a personnel form, calendar, time sheet, or accounting form that other users can access and print. To store a print job permanently on the hard disk accessory, select the Stored Job option in the driver when printing the job.
Deleting a stored job Jobs stored on the printer’s hard disk accessory can be deleted from the control panel. EN 1 Press MENU repeatedly until PRIVATE/STORED JOBS MENU appears. 2 Press ITEM until the desired user name appears. 3 For Macintosh computers only: The user name appears on the first line of the display and the job name appears on the second line of the display. After you have selected the desired user name using ITEM, press -VALUE+ until the desired job name appears.
Printing with the optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver The optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver enables wireless printing from any IRDA-compliant portable device (such as a laptop computer) to the HP LaserJet Series printers. The printing connection is maintained by positioning the sending infrared (FIR) port within operating range. Note that the connection can be blocked by objects such as a hand, paper, direct sunlight, or any bright light shining into either FIR port.
Note 3 Change PostScript Printer Description (PPD) File to match the printer. 4 On the File menu, select Save. 5 Enter a name and location for the desktop printer icon and click OK. Once the icon is on the desktop (or saved elsewhere), printer options need to be manually configured. This step is essentially the same as selecting Configure after setting up a printer in the Chooser. To set the options, highlight the Desktop Printer icon and select Change Setup from the Printing menu.
Interrupting and resuming printing The job interrupt and resume feature lets you temporarily stop the job that is currently printing in order to print another job through an FIR connection. When the FIR job is finished printing, the interrupted job resumes printing. To interrupt the job at the printer, connect to the FIR port on the printer and send a job to the printer. The printer stops printing the current job when it reaches the end of the copy it is printing.
3 Printer maintenance Overview This chapter explains basic printer maintenance: EN ● managing the toner cartridge ● cleaning the printer ● cleaning the fuser (manual and automatic) ● performing preventative maintenance ● configuring alerts Overview 83
Managing the toner cartridge HP toner cartridges When you use a genuine new HP toner cartridge (part number C8061A or C8061X), you can obtain the following types of supplies information: ● amount of toner remaining ● estimated number of pages remaining ● number of pages printed ● other supplies information Non-HP toner cartridges Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new or remanufactured.
Toner cartridge storage Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2.5 years. CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Toner cartridge life expectancy The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require.
Using printer software Three things are required to use this feature: Note ● the “Supplies Information and Ordering” software must be installed on your computer (use the custom installation option to install this software) ● the printer must be directly connected to your computer (parallel) ● you must have access to the World Wide Web 1 At the bottom right of your screen (in the system tray), doubleclick the Printer icon. This opens the status window.
Toner low and toner out conditions When toner is low When toner is low, the printer control panel displays a TONER LOW message and the printer continues to print. The message first appears when about 15% of the toner remains in the cartridge (about 1,500 pages remaining for the 10,000-page cartridge and about 900 pages remaining for the 6,000-page cartridge at 5% page coverage).
Cleaning the printer General guidelines Follow the cleaning procedure on the following page every time you change the toner cartridge or whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible, keep the printer free from dust and debris. CAUTION ● Clean the outside of the printer with a slightly water-dampened cloth. ● Clean the inside with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the printer.
Cleaning procedure 1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. 2 Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge. 1 WARNING! Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The adjacent fusing area might be hot! 2 CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. 3 Wipe any dust or dirt off the paper feed guides (shaded areas) with a dry, lint-free cloth.
5 90 Chapter 3 - Printer maintenance 5 Reinstall the toner cartridge, close the top cover, plug the power cord in, and turn the printer on.
Cleaning the fuser Run the printer cleaning page to keep the fuser free of toner and paper particles that can sometimes accumulate. Accumulation of toner and particles can cause specks to appear on the front or back side of your print jobs (see “Specks” on page 130). To ensure optimum print quality, HP recommends that you use the cleaning page every time you replace the toner cartridge or on an automatic schedule that you can set up.
Running the cleaning page automatically Using the procedure below, you can set the printer to print cleaning pages automatically at an interval that you choose. In order for the cleaning page to run without intervention, you must keep the selected size and Plain paper type available in the printer. The printer will not interrupt a printing job in process. You can discard the output page created by the automatic cleaning process.
Performing preventative maintenance You should replace certain parts when the PERFORM PRINTER MAINTENANCE message appears on the printer control panel. This will help ensure that your printer maintains optimum performance. The maintenance message will appear every 200,000 pages. To check the number of pages the printer has printed, print either a configuration page or a supplies status page (see “Configuration page” on page 152 or “Supplies status page” on page 154 for details).
Configuring alerts You can use HP Web JetAdmin or the printer’s embedded web server to configure the system to alert you of problems with the printer. The alerts take the form of e-mail messages to the e-mail account or accounts that you specify.
4 Problem solving Overview This chapter will help you to troubleshoot and solve printer problems. Clear paper jams Occasionally, paper can jam during printing. This section will help you to locate paper jams, properly clear them from the printer, and solve repeated paper jams. Understand Many different messages can appear on the printer control panel printer messages display. Some messages tell the printer’s current status, such as INITIALIZING.
Clearing paper jams If the printer control panel displays a paper jam message, look for paper in the locations indicated in the figure on the next page, then see the procedure for clearing the paper jam. You might need to look for paper in other locations than indicated in the paper jam message. If the location of the paper jam is not obvious, look first in the top cover area underneath the toner cartridge. When clearing paper jams, be very careful not to tear the paper.
Paper jam locations Back 5 Front 6 1 2 4 3 Note EN 1 Top cover and toner cartridge area 2 Optional envelope feeder 3 Input tray areas 4 Optional duplexer 5 Output areas (top and rear) 6 Fuser area Loose toner might remain in the printer after a paper jam and cause output quality problems. These should clear up within a few pages.
Clearing jams from the top cover and toner cartridge areas 1 1 Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge. CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. 2 2 Use the green handle to lift the paper access plate. 3 Slowly pull the paper out of the printer. Do not tear the paper. Note If paper is difficult to remove, try clearing it from the input tray area (see “Clearing jams from the input tray areas” on page 102).
4 5 6 4 Open tray 1 and remove the entrance cover to check for additional jammed paper. If paper is present, remove it. 5 Rotate the paper guide to check for additional jammed paper. If paper is present, remove it. 6 Replace the entrance cover and close tray 1. 7 Reinstall the toner cartridge and close the top cover. 8 If a paper jam message persists, there is still paper in the printer. Look for paper in another location (see “Paper jam locations” on page 97).
Clearing jams from the optional envelope feeder 1 Remove any envelopes loaded in the envelope feeder. Lower the envelope weight and lift the tray extension up to the closed position. 2 Press and hold the release button on the left side of the envelope feeder. Grasp both sides of the envelope feeder and carefully pull it out of the printer. 3 Slowly remove any envelopes out of the envelope feeder and the printer. 4 Insert the envelope feeder into the printer until it locks into place.
5 Open and close the top cover to clear the paper jam message. 6 If a paper jam message persists, there is still paper in the printer. Look for paper in another location (see “Paper jam locations” on page 97). 7 Reload envelopes, making sure that you push the bottom envelopes in slightly further than the top envelopes (see “Loading envelopes in the envelope feeder” on page 59).
Clearing jams from the input tray areas Tray 1 1 Slowly pull the paper out of the printer. If part of the paper has already been pulled into the printer, follow the steps under “Clearing jams from the top cover and toner cartridge areas” on page 98. Trays 2, 3, and 4 2 For all other trays, follow the steps below (see “Clearing jams from the optional envelope feeder” on page 100 for clearing envelope feeder jams). 1 Slide the tray out of the printer, and remove any damaged paper from the tray.
5 6 EN 4 Make sure that all three paper size adjustments are correct (see “Loading trays 2, 3, and 4” on page 47). 5 Slide the tray back into the printer. 6 Open and close the top cover to clear the paper jam message. 7 If a paper jam message persists, there is still paper in the printer. Look for paper in another location (see “Paper jam locations” on page 97).
Clearing jams from the optional duplexer 1 2 1 Open the duplexer’s rear door. 2 Slowly pull any paper out of the duplexer. 3 Remove the duplexer by lifting it slightly and pulling it out of the printer. 4 From the rear of the printer, remove any paper on top of tray 2. (You might need to reach inside the printer.) Continued on the next page.
5 Slowly pull any paper out of the duplexer. 6 Turn the duplexer over and remove any paper. 7 Insert the duplexer into the printer. 8 Open and close the top cover to clear the paper jam message. 9 If a paper jam message persists, there is still paper in the printer. Look for paper in another location (see “Paper jam locations” on page 97).
Clearing jams from the output areas 1 Note If most of the paper is still inside the printer, it is best to remove it through the top cover area. See “Clearing jams from the top cover and toner cartridge areas” on page 98. 1 Open the rear output bin. 2 Grasp both sides of the paper, and slowly pull the paper out of the printer. (There might be loose toner on the paper. Be careful not to spill it on yourself or into the printer.
Clearing jams from the fuser area 1 2 3 Use this procedure: ● when paper has jammed inside the fuser and cannot otherwise be removed ● when a page has torn while you were trying to clear a jam from the fuser 1 Turn the printer off. WARNING! To avoid minor burns, wait 30 minutes for the fuser to cool before continuing with this procedure. 2 Turn the printer so its rear cover faces you and remove the tray 2 dust cover or optional duplexer. 3 Unplug the power cord from the printer.
5 5 Remove the rear output bin and extension. To do this, bend the middle down slightly, release tab 1 and then release tab 2. 6 Unlock the fuser by rotating the blue fuser levers so that they point up. 7 Pull the fuser out of the printer. To release the fuser from the printer, hold the back of the printer while pulling on the fuser. Do not pull on the black plastic flapper. 8 Remove the paper that has jammed. 1 2 6 CAUTION Do not use a sharp object to clear paper from the fuser area.

Be sure to push the fuser firmly into the printer. 10 Lock the fuser in place by rotating the levers to the horizontal position. 11 Replace the rear output bin, left side first. 10 12 Plug the power cord into the printer. 13 Replace the tray 2 dust cover or the optional duplexer. 14 Turn the printer back on. 15 If a paper jam message persists, there is still paper in the printer. Look for paper in another location (see “Paper jam locations” on page 97).
Solving repeated paper jams If paper jams occur frequently, try the following: ● Check all the paper jam locations (see “Clearing paper jams” on page 96). A piece of paper might be stuck somewhere in the printer. Even a small torn piece of paper in the printer path can cause repeated jams. ● If using a duplexer, check all areas (including under the duplexer). ● Check that paper is correctly loaded in the trays, that all three adjustments have been made, and that the trays are not overfilled.
Understanding printer messages The table in this section explains messages that might appear on the printer control panel. Printer messages and their meanings are listed in alphabetical order, with numbered messages following. If a message persists: Note ● If a message persists requesting that you load a tray, or if a message indicates that a previous print job is still in the printer’s memory, press GO to print or press CANCEL JOB to clear the job from the printer’s memory.

Light print (partial page) 1 The toner cartridge might be low. Replace the toner cartridge. 2 Maintenance might be due. Check this by printing a copy of the supplies status page (see “Supplies status page” on page 154). If maintenance is due, order and install the printer maintenance kit (see “Performing preventative maintenance” on page 93). 3 The toner cartridge might be almost empty. Replace the toner cartridge.
Dropouts 1 Make sure that the environmental specifications for the printer are being met (see “General specifications” on page 202). 2 If the paper is rough and the toner easily rubs off, either try changing the fuser mode to High 1 or High 2 (see “Paper Handling Menu” on page 210), or try using a smoother paper. 3 Try changing to a different paper type. Lines EN 1 Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself.
Gray background 1 Do not use paper that has already been run through the printer. 2 Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself. 3 Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also, try rotating the paper 180°. 4 At the printer control panel, use the Print Quality Menu to decrease the toner density setting (see the description of TONER DENSITY in “Print Quality Menu” on page 217).
Loose toner Loose toner, in this context, is defined as toner that can be rubbed off the page. 1 If paper is heavy or rough, try using a high fuser mode so that toner fuses more completely onto the paper. At the printer control panel, use CONFIGURE FUSER MODE MENU in the Paper Handling Menu. To do this (see “Paper Handling Menu” on page 210). 2 If you have observed a rougher texture on one side of your paper, try printing on the non-rough side.
Repeating image This type of defect might occur when using preprinted forms or a large quantity of narrow media. 1 Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself. 2 Make sure that paper type and quality meet HP specifications (see “Paper specifications” on page 188).
Curl or wave 1 Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also, try rotating the paper 180°. 2 Make sure that paper type and quality meet HP specifications (see “Paper specifications” on page 188). 3 Make sure that the environmental specifications for the printer are being met (see “Printer specifications” on page 200). 4 Try printing to a different output bin. 5 If media is lightweight and smooth, try using a low fuser mode to reduce the heat in the fusing process.
Tire tracks This defect typically occurs when the toner cartridge has far exceeded its rated usage of 10,000 pages (for example, printing a very large quantity of pages with very little toner coverage). 1 Replace the toner cartridge. 2 Reduce the number of pages that you print with very low toner coverage. 3 Use the 6,000-page cartridge if you cannot reduce the number of pages with very little toner coverage (part number C8061A).

Paper specifications HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. This printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size paper. Paper properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality. The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this manual.

Supported types of paper The printer supports the following types of paper: ● plain ● preprinted ● letterhead ● transparency ● prepunched ● labels ● bond ● recycled ● color ● card stock ● rough ● user-defined (5 types) Guidelines for using paper For best results, use conventional 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) paper. Make sure the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
Note Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. Do not use raised letterhead. The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the printer’s temperature of 230° C (446° F) for 0.05 second. Avoid using paper that has been damaged due to having already been used in a printer or copier.
Paper weight equivalence table Use this table to determine approximate equivalent points in weight specifications other than U.S. bond weight. For example, to determine the equivalent of 20 lb U.S. bond weight paper in U.S. cover weight, locate the bond weight (in row 3, second column) and scan across the row to the cover weight (in the fourth column). The equivalent is 28 lb. Shaded areas indicate a standard weight for that grade. U.S. postcarda thickness (mm) 0.18 0.20 0.23 U.S. bond weight (lb) U.

Labels CAUTION To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for use in laser printers. If you have problems printing labels, use tray 1 and open the rear output bin. Do not print on the same sheet of labels more than once—peeling and adhesive contamination might result. Label construction When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: ● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 230° C (446° F), the printer’s maximum temperature.
Envelopes Envelope construction Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the components listed below. Many envelope manufacturers are now making envelopes optimized for laser printers.
Envelope margins The following table gives typical address margins for a Commercial #10 or DL envelope. Note Type of address Top margin Left margin Return address 15 mm (0.6 in) 15 mm (0.6 in) Delivery address 51 mm (2 in) 89 mm (3.5 in) For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in) from the edges of the envelope. Envelope storage Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat.
Card stock construction ● Smoothness: Card stock should have smoothness in the range of 100 to 180 Sheffield. ● Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 in) of curl. It should be short grain paper to improve feeding and reduce wear on the printer. ● Condition: Make sure card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. ● Sizes: Use only card stock within the following size ranges: • minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in) • maximum: 216 by 356 mm (8.

C Printer memory and expansion Overview The printer has three dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots for upgrading with: Note ● more printer memory—DIMMs are available in 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 MB, for a maximum of 256 MB ● flash memory DIMMs—available in 2 and 4 MB; unlike standard printer memory, flash DIMMs can be used to permanently store downloaded items in the printer, even when the printer is off ● DIMM-based accessory fonts, macros, and patterns ● other DIMM-based printer languages an
Installing memory 1 3 CAUTION Static electricity can damage dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). When handling DIMMs, either wear an antistatic wrist strap or frequently touch the surface of the DIMM’s antistatic package, then touch bare metal on the printer. If you have not already done so, print a configuration page to find out how much memory is installed in the printer before adding more memory (see “Configuration page” on page 152). 1 Turn the printer off.
6 7 6 Remove the DIMM from the antistatic package. Hold the DIMM with fingers against the side edges and thumbs against the back edge. Align the notches on the DIMM with the DIMM slot. (Check that the locks on each side of the DIMM slot are open, or outward.) 7 Press the DIMM straight into the slot (press firmly). Make sure the locks on each side of the DIMM snap inward into place. (To remove a DIMM, the locks must be released. CAUTION Do not move or remove the DIMM in the lower slot.
Checking memory installation Follow this procedure to verify that DIMMs are installed correctly: Note 1 Check that the printer control panel displays READY when the printer is turned on. If an error message appears, a DIMM might have been incorrectly installed. Check the printer messages (see “Understanding printer messages” on page 111). 2 Print a new configuration page (see “Configuration page” on page 152).
Installing EIO cards/mass storage Follow this procedure to install an EIO card or mass storage device: Note 1 Turn the printer off. 2 Remove the two screws and cover plate from the EIO 1 or EIO 2 slot on the back of the printer. 3 Install the EIO card or mass storage device in the EIO slot and tighten the screws. See the figure below for orientation of the EIO card.

D Printer commands Overview Most software applications do not require you to enter printer commands. See your computer and software documentation to find the method for entering printer commands, if needed. PCL 5e PCL 5e printer commands tell the printer which tasks to perform or which fonts to use. This appendix provides a quick reference for users who are already familiar with PCL 5e command structure. HP-GL/2 The printer has the ability to print vector graphics using the HP-GL/2 graphics language.
Understanding PCL 5e printer command syntax Before using printer commands, compare these characters: Lowercase l: Number one: l 1 Uppercase O: Number 0: O 0 Many printer commands use the lowercase letter l (l) and the number one (1), or the uppercase letter O (O) and the number zero (0). These characters may not appear on your screen as shown here. You must use the exact character and case specified for PCL 5e printer commands.
Combining escape sequences Escape sequences may be combined into one escape sequence string. There are three important rules to follow when combining code: 1 The first two characters after the ? character (the parameterized and group characters—see the figure on the previous page) must be the same in all of the commands to be combined. 2 When combining escape sequences, change the uppercase (termination) character in each individual escape sequence to lower case.
Selecting PCL 5e fonts The printer font list provides PCL 5e printer commands for selecting fonts (see “PCL or PS font list” on page 156 for information how to print the list). A sample section is shown below. There is one variable box for entering symbol sets and one for entering point size. These variables must be filled in or the printer will use defaults. For example, if you want a symbol set that contains linedraw characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set.
