Remove self-stick notes. Remove staples and paper clips. Straighten any curls or wrinkles in the original that you are scanning. Feed irregularly sized originals one at a time. Do not scan or copy any original with glue, correction fluid, or wet ink on it. Do not scan or copy gummed-backed paper, labels, or originals. Do no scan or copy originals that have tears, perforations, or any defect that might cause a jam. Do not scan originals that are larger or smaller than the supported size. See Supported media sizes and types for more information.
You must use a carrier sheet to feed small or delicate originals, such as newsprint, through the copier/scanner without causing a jam. To make a carrier sheet, use a piece of paper and a transparency, tape the leading edges together, and load your original between the sheets. You must feed business cards and any media that is smaller than 76.2 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.) to the straight-through output path. You can use a carrier sheet and feed them to the straight-through output bin. To obtain good results, it is important that you use the correct resolution and color settings for your job. See Scanner resolution and color for more information.
Precautions for copying and scanning 33
Loading originals in the copier/scanner
To load originals in the copier/scanner 1 Load the original with the side to be scanned facing up. If you are using the straight-through output path, load business cards with the long side forward. See Precautions for copying and scanning for more information. Adjust the media guides. Press the Scan button on the scanner or press the Copy button for a Quick Copy.
When you add new originals, always remove the originals from the input tray and straighten the stack. Small originals will cause a jam if they are not loaded correctly.

CAUTION

If you are editing text (OCR), you must load the original with the text positioned horizontally and upside down. See Editing scanned text (Optical Character Recognition) for more information.

Accessing HP LaserJet Director (Windows)
5 In the Windows system tray, click Start. Click Programs. Click HP LaserJet 1220 Series. Click HP LaserJet Director. An HP icon appears in the Windows system tray. To display HP LaserJet Director on your computer screen, click the HP icon.

52 Chapter 3 Getting to know the print server
The IP address tag (required). This is the HP JetDirect print servers IP address. The gateway IP address tag. This is the IP address of the default gateway (router) that the HP JetDirect print server uses to communicate with other subnets. The subnet mask tag. The HP JetDirect print server uses the subnet mask to identify the portions of an IP address that specify the network and subnetwork number and the host address. The syslog servers IP address tag. This is the address of the server where the HP JetDirect print server sends syslog messages. A vendor-specific tag that specifies the relative path name of the TFTP configuration file. You can truncate long path names. The path name must be enclosed with quotes (for example, pathname). See Using DHCP for more information about file formats. Note Standard BOOTP option 18 (extensions file path) also allows a standard tag (ef) to specify the relative path name of the TFTP configuration file.

T150 T151

The TFTP servers IP address tag. A BOOTP-only tag. You must specify BOOTP-ONLY to ensure that other dynamic configuration methods, such as DHCP are not used. ,
Use the following conventions for the bootptab file entries:
A colon (:) indicates the end of a field. A backslash (\) indicates that the entry is continued on the next line. Spaces are not allowed between the characters on a line. Names, such as host names, must begin with a letter and can contain only letters, numbers, periods (for domain names only), or hyphens. The underscore character (_) is not allowed.
See your system documentation or online help for more information.

Using BOOTP 53

Using DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which is defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 2131 and 2132, is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP JetDirect print server uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the HP JetDirect print server automatically obtains its IP address from that server and registers its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services as long as you have specified a Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server IP address. Note If the HP JetDirect print server does not receive its IP configuration within two minutes, a default IP address is automatically assigned: 192.0.0.192. You are advised not to leave this address as it is, but to change it to an address that fits into your network addressing scheme. You can, however, use this address to initially access the print server, and then change it to a more suitable one. To use the default IP address temporarily, set up your computer with an IP address in the same subnet, or establish an IP route to it.DHCP services must be available on the server. See your system documentation or online help to install or enable DHCP services. If the HP JetDirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets, the IP configuration might fail unless the routing device supports BOOTP Relay, which allows the transfer of BOOTP requests between subnets.

Printing on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing) 73

Printing watermarks

78 Chapter 5 Printing tasks
Understanding print quality settings
Print quality settings affect how light or dark the print is on the page and the style that the graphics are printed. You can also use the print quality settings to optimize the print quality for a specific media type. See Optimizing print quality for media types for more information. You can change the settings in the printer properties to accommodate the types of jobs you are printing. The following are the settings:
Best Quality: This prints at 1200 dpi and provides the best print quality. Faster Printing: The resolution is reduced slightly so that the job can print faster. This is the default setting. Custom: This prints the same as the Faster Printing setting, but you can change the scale patterns. EconoMode (Save Toner): Text is printed using less toner. This setting is useful when you are printing drafts.
You can access these settings on the Finishing tab (Windows) under Print Quality settings in the printer properties. To view the details of each setting, click Details. For Macintosh, select the Imaging Options screen. Note To change the print quality settings for all future print jobs, access the properties through the Start menu in the Windows system tray. To change the print quality settings only for the current software applications use, access the properties through the Print Setup menu in the application you are using to print. See Printer properties (driver) for more information.

Understanding print quality settings 79
Using EconoMode (Save Toner)
An excellent way to extend the life of your toner cartridge is by using EconoMode. EconoMode uses substantially less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. To enable EconoMode, access the printer properties. On the Finishing tab (Windows) or the Imaging Options screen (Macintosh) under Print Quality, select EconoMode. Note See Printer properties (driver) for instructions on enabling EconoMode for all future jobs.

(The product automatically scans the selection in black and white if this option is not selected.)

Saving toner

To save toner, select the EconoMode option in your printer properties settings. While in EconoMode (Save Toner), the printer uses less toner on each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but it will reduce print quality. See Using EconoMode (Save Toner) for more information.
Recycling toner cartridges 99

Redistributing toner

When toner is low, faded or light areas appear on the printed page. You might be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner, which means that you might be able to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge. Note You will feel some resistance when you open the toner door. Opening the toner door conveniently lifts the toner cartridge for removal. Open the toner door, and remove the toner cartridge from the printer.
CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light. Cover it with a sheet of paper. To redistribute the toner, gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side.
CAUTION If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into the fabric. 3 Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer, and close the toner door.
If the print is still light, install a new toner cartridge. See Changing the toner cartridge for instructions.
100 Chapter 8 Managing the toner cartridge
Changing the toner cartridge
1 Note You will feel some resistance when you open the toner door. Opening the toner door conveniently lifts the toner cartridge for removal. Open the toner door, and remove the old toner cartridge. See Recycling toner cartridges or the recycling information inside the toner cartridge box.
CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light. Cover it with a piece of paper. Remove the new toner cartridge from the packaging, and gently shake it from side to side to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Bend the tab on the right side of the cartridge to break it loose.

Pull the tab until all the tape is removed from the cartridge. Put the tab in the toner cartridge box to return for recycling. Insert the toner cartridge in the printer, making sure that the toner cartridge is in position. Close the toner door.
5 CAUTION If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into the fabric.
102 Chapter 8 Managing the toner cartridge
Troubleshooting the printer

CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light. Cover the toner cartridge if necessary. Also, do not touch the black sponge transfer roller inside the printer. By doing so, you can damage the printer. 2 With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any residue from the media path area and the toner cartridge cavity. Replace the toner cartridge, and close the toner door. Plug the power cord back into the printer.
126 Chapter 9 Troubleshooting the printer
Cleaning the printer media path
If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, clean the printer media path. This process uses a transparency to remove dust and toner from the media path. Do not use bond or rough paper. 3 Load a transparency in the priority input tray. Make sure that the printer is in the Ready state. Press and hold the Go button for 10 seconds. The transparency feeds slowly through the printer. Discard the transparency.
After holding the Go button for 10 seconds, each of the three printer lights blink until the cleaning process is complete. If transparency film is unavailable, you can use paper, but you should perform the procedure 2 or 3 times to ensure proper cleaning.

Cleaning the printer 127

Clearing printer media jams
Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include the following:
The input trays are loaded improperly or too full. See Loading media into the input trays for more information. The media does not meet HP specifications. See Printer media specifications for more information.
When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time, reducing media jams. You are notified of a media jam by an error in the software and the printer control panel lights. See Printer light patterns for more information.
Typical media jam locations
Toner cartridge area: See Removing a jammed page for instructions. Input tray areas: If the page is still sticking out of the input tray, gently try to remove it from the input tray without tearing the page. If you feel resistance, see Removing a jammed page for instructions. Output paths: If the page is sticking out of the output bin, gently try to remove it without tearing the page. If you feel resistance, see Removing a jammed page for instructions.

HP Printing Supplies Environmental Program Information
Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Environmental Program has collected more than 39 million used toner cartridges that otherwise might have been discarded in the worlds landfills. The HP LaserJet toner cartridges go to a collection center and are shipped in bulk to our recycling partners who disassemble the toner cartridge. Remaining materials are separated and converted into raw materials for use by other industries to make a variety of useful products. U.S. Returns For a more environmentally responsible return of used toner cartridges and consumables, Hewlett-Packard encourages you to use bulk returns. Simply bundle two or more toner cartridges together and use the single, prepaid, pre-addressed UPS label that is supplied in the package.
