Choosing paper and other media
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of print media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors, affecting printer performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality paper designed for laser printers. See Printer paper specifications for detailed paper and media specifications. Note Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities. Your paper supplier should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide (HP part number 5021-8909). See Printer paper specifications.
Maximum supported paper size: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.) Minimum supported paper size: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.)
8 Chapter 1 Getting to know the printer
Loading paper into the printer
Paper should be loaded with the top down and the side-to-be printed facing forward. Always adjust the paper guides to prevent jams and skewing. CAUTION Attempting to print on paper that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way may cause a jam to occur. See Printer paper specifications. Always remove all paper from the paper input tray and straighten the stack when new paper is added. This helps prevent multiple sheets of paper from feeding through the printer at one time and reduces paper jams. See the sticker which you placed on the printer while setting up the hardware.

This chapter provides information on the following subjects:
HP toner cartridges Redistributing toner Changing the toner cartridge

HP toner cartridges

HP policy on non-HP toner cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new, refilled, or remanufactured. Since they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. Note Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from software, interfacing, parts, or supplies not supplied by HP.

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. The shelf life of a cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months. 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. When printing text at 5% coverage, an HP LaserJet 1100 toner cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages. This assumes the print density is set to 3 and EconoMode is off. (These are the default settings.)
Recycling toner cartridges
To install a new HP toner cartridge, see Changing the toner cartridge or follow the instructions included in the toner cartridge box. Also, see the recycling information on the toner cartridge box and HP Cartridge Recycling Program information.

Finding the solution 71

Printed page is different than what appeared on screen
Printed page problems Problem
Print job prints extremely slow
The maximum speed of the printer is 8 pages per minute, which cannot be exceeded. This speed is measured using Letter sized paper. Letter is a U.S. standard paper size, which is smaller than European A4. Your print job may be very complex. Try the following: q Reduce the complexity of your document (reduce the number of multiple graphics, and etc.). q Change setting in the printer properties to Faster Printing. See Printer properties (driver). q Add printer memory. See Installing DIMMs (memory). The parallel cable may be loose or defective. Try the following: q Disconnect the parallel cable and reconnect it. q Try printing a print job that you know works. q If possible, attach the cable and printer to another computer and try printing a print job that you know works. q Try using a new IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable. See Accessories and ordering information. The wrong printer driver may have been selected while installing the software. Verify the HP LaserJet 1100 is selected in the printer properties. The software application may be malfunctioning. Try printing from another software application.

Disconnect and then reconnect the parallel cable. Try printing a print job you know prints. If possible, attach the cable and printer to another PC and print the job that you know prints. Try using a new IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable. See Accessories and ordering information.

Finding the solution 93

Do you have other devices running on your computer? The HP LaserJet 1100A PrinterCopierScanner may not share a parallel port. If you have a sound card, external hard drive, or network switchbox connected to the same parallel port as the HP LaserJet 1100A, the other devices may be interfering. You must disconnect the other devices to connect and use the HP LaserJet 1100A or you must use two parallel ports on the computer. You may need to add another parallel interface card. An ECP parallel interface card is strongly recommended. Please see the documentation that came with your PC for information on installing an additional parallel interface card or resolving device conflicts.
94 Chapter 9 Troubleshooting the Copier/Scanner
No preview appeared on screen
Are you currently copying or printing? Wait for the copy or print job to be completed before scanning. Is the original loaded correctly? Verify the original is loaded correctly: narrow side first, top down in the scanner paper input tray with the side-to-be scanned facing forward. See Loading Copier/Scanner originals. Is the scanner correctly connected and latched to the printer? The scanner must be connected and the attachment lever latched. See the Quick Reference Guide included with your scanner for attachment instructions. See Removing the scanner for instructions on removing the scanner. CAUTION To prevent damage, unplug the printer before checking the scanner connection. Is the wrong printer selected? Verify the HP LaserJet 1100 is selected as the current printer when you print.

Finding the solution 95

Scanned image is of poor quality
Is the original a second generation photo or picture? Reprinted photographs, such as in newspapers or magazines, are printed using tiny dots of ink that make an interpretation of the original photograph; thus, the quality is dramatically decreased. Often, the ink dots form unwanted patterns that, when scanned and reprinted or displayed, can be detected. If the following suggestions do not provide a solution, you may need to use a better-quality version of the original.

Troubleshooting common issues
1 Basic troubleshooting checks: Connect power to the printer and print a self-test page by pressing and releasing the Go button while the printer is in Ready status. This verifies the power cord is working correctly, power is on, and the toner is correctly installed with the protective tape removed. Send a print job from a software application on your PC to your HP LaserJet 1100 printer. This verifies the software installation and communication to the printer. 2 If the software installation failed without errors or if you cannot print from the PC, verify the following: Verify that all applications are closed. Windows 9x: Press Ctrl+Alt+Del. All programs except Systray and Explorer should be closed. If not, close them by selecting one at a time and clicking End Task. Reinstall the software using the method described in Installing the software. Reboot your PC. Continued on next page.

If the software installation fails in step 2, try installing the software using the following method: Alternate software installation for Windows 9x & NT 4.0

A list of printers will appear on your screen with Install Unlisted or Updated Printer highlighted. Click Install. Click Have Disk, and then enter <language>\drivers\OS <language> being whatever language you want to select. Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the installation. Remove the CD (or diskettes) when the installation is complete.
Troubleshooting common issues 9
Clearing printer paper jams
Occasionally, paper can become jammed while printing. Following is a list of some possible causes:
The media was loaded incorrectly. The paper-output lever was adjusted while a job was printing. The printer door was opened while a job was printing. The media being used does not meet HP specifications. The media used was smaller than 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.).

Paper input tray areas

Pull the page from the paper input tray side until it is fully removed.

Paper output paths

If the page is sticking out of the paper output path, pull it until it is fully removed. Note Loose toner may remain in the printer after a paper jam. This will clear after a few sheets have printed.

Printer paper jams

If the scanner is attached to the printer, it may be necessary to pull the printer to the edge of the work space to enable full extension of the printer door. Open the printer door. If the paper can be removed without removing the toner cartridge, go to step 3. Otherwise, continue with step 2. Remove the toner cartridge and place it aside, covering it with a piece of paper.
CAUTION Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water. Hot water will permanently set the toner into fabric.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a sheet of paper. 3 With both hands, grasp the side of the paper that is most visible (this includes the middle), and then carefully pull it free from the printer.
Note If the paper tears, see Removing torn pieces of paper from the printer. 4 After the jammed paper has been removed, replace the toner cartridge and close the printer door.
Troubleshooting common issues 11
Removing torn pieces of paper from the printer
1 A piece of jammed paper can tear while being removed. Use the following procedure to remove any small pieces of paper left in the printer. 1 Make sure the toner cartridge is installed and the printer door is closed. Turn the printer off and then back on. As the printer restarts, the rollers will advance the piece(s) of paper.
Note To turn the power off, unplug the power cord. Plug the power cord back in to turn the printer on. Open the printer door and remove the toner cartridge. Remove the piece(s) of paper. Reinstall the toner cartridge and close the printer door.
If the paper is still not accessible, repeat steps 1 through 5. 4
