Print setting priorities
There are three ways to change print settings for this printer: in the software application, in the printer driver, and in the HP toolbox. Changes made to print settings are prioritized according to where the changes are made, as follows:
Changes made in the software application override settings changed anywhere else. Within a software application, changes made in the Page Setup dialog box override changes made in the Print dialog box. Changes made in the printer driver (Printer Properties dialog box) override settings made through the HP toolbox. Changes made in the printer driver do not override settings in the software application. Changes made in the HP toolbox have the lowest priority.
If a particular print setting can be changed in more than one of the ways listed above, use the method that has the highest priority.

Changing the print cartridge 45

Cleaning the printer

Clean the outside of the printer with a clean, damp cloth when necessary. CAUTION Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the printer. During the printing process, media, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. To correct and prevent these types of problems, you can clean the print cartridge area and the printer media path.
Cleaning the print cartridge area
You do not need to clean the print cartridge area often. However, cleaning this area can improve the quality of your printed sheets. 1 Unplug the power cord, and wait for the printer to cool.
Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge.
To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover the print cartridge if necessary. Also, do not touch the black sponge transfer roller inside the printer. By doing so, you can damage the printer.

46 Chapter 4

With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any residue from the media path area and the print cartridge cavity.
Replace the print cartridge, and close the print cartridge door.
Plug the power cord back into the printer.

Cleaning the printer 47

Cleaning the printer media path
If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, you can use the HP LaserJet cleaning utility to remove excess media and toner particles that can accumulate on the fuser assembly and rollers. Cleaning the media path might extend the life of the printer.
For best results use a sheet of transparency. If you do not have any transparencies, you can use copier grade media (18 to 24 lb. or 70 to 90 g/m2) with a smooth surface. 3 Make sure that the printer is idle and the Ready light is on. Load the media in the input tray. Access the HP toolbox. See Using the hp toolbox for instructions. Click the Troubleshooting tab, and click Print Quality Tools. Select the cleaning page.
The cleaning process takes approximately 2 minutes. The cleaning page will stop periodically during the cleaning process. Do not turn the printer off until the cleaning process has finished. You might need to repeat the cleaning process several times to thoroughly clean the printer.

Media specifications 91

Printer media specifications
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and custom-sized 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 user guide. Media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:
Poor print quality Increased media jams Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or control their quality. It is possible for media to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control. Before you purchase a large quantity of media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media. (See Ordering supplies for more information about ordering the guidelines.) Always test media before you purchase a large quantity. CAUTION Using media that does not meet Hewlett-Packards specifications might cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for using media
For best results, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper. Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer. Paper usage Symptom
