Media 23

Choosing paper and other media
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media. The following are the supported media sizes:
Minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.) Maximum: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in)
Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media designed for laser printers. See Printer media specifications for detailed paper and media specifications. Note Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. Your media supplier should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet printer family print media guide (HP part number 5963-7863). See Printer media specifications for more information.

24 Chapter 2

Media to avoid
The HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series printers can handle many types of media. Use of media outside the printers specifications will cause a loss of print quality and increase the chance of paper jams occurring.
Do not use paper that is too rough. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard 3-hole punched paper. Do not use multipart forms. Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.
Media that may damage the printer
In rare circumstances media can damage the printer. The following media must be avoided to prevent possible damage:

36 Chapter 3

Printing watermarks
You can use the watermark option to print text underneath (in the background) of an existing document. For example, you might want to have large gray letters reading Draft or Confidential printed diagonally across the first page or all of the pages of a document.
Accessing the watermark feature
From your software application, access the printer properties (or printing preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. On the Effects tab (the Watermark/Overlay tab for some Mac drivers), select the watermark you want to use.

Printing watermarks 37

Printing multiple pages on a single sheet of paper (N-up printing)
You can select the number of pages that you want to print on a single sheet of paper. If you choose to print more than one page per sheet, the pages appear smaller and are arranged on the sheet in the order that they would otherwise be printed.
Accessing the multiple pages per sheet feature
From your software application, access the printer properties (or printing preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. On the Finishing tab (the Layout tab for some Mac drivers), select the correct number of pages per sheet.
Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver. 3 There is also a check box for page borders and a pull-down menu to specify the order of pages printed on the sheet.

38 Chapter 3

Printing on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing)
To print on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing), you must run the paper through the printer twice. You can print using the media output bin or the straight-through output path. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the media output bin for lightweight paper and use the straight-through output path for any heavy media or media that curls when printed. Note Manual duplexing can cause the printer to become dirty, reducing print quality. See Cleaning the printer for instructions if the printer becomes dirty.

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:
600 dpi: This is the default setting. FastRes 1200: This setting provides better print quality, but jobs take longer to print. ProRes 1200: This setting is available for the HP LaserJet 1300 series printer. It provides the best print quality. EconoMode (Saves Print Cartridges): Text is printed using less toner. This setting is useful when you are printing drafts. You can turn on this option independently of other print quality settings. Access the printer properties (or printing preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. On the Paper/Quality tab or the Finishing tab (the Paper Type/Quality tab for some Mac drivers), select the print quality setting you want to use.
Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver. 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 45
Using EconoMode (Saves toner)
An excellent way to extend the life of your print 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 (or printing preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. On the Paper/Quality tab or the Finishing tab (the Paper Type/Quality tab for some Mac drivers), select the EconoMode checkbox.

66 Chapter 5

Wireless printing
Wireless networks offer a safe, secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wired network connections. See Ordering supplies and accessories for a list of available wireless print servers.

IEEE 802.11b standard

With the wireless HP Jetdirect 802.11b print server, HP peripherals can be placed anywhere in the office or home and connected to a wireless network running Microsoft, Apple, Netware, UNIX, or Linux network operating systems. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing solution without the physical constraints of wiring. Peripherals can be conveniently placed anywhere in an office or home and can be easily moved without changing network cables. Installation is easy with the HP Install Network Printer Wizard. HP Jetdirect 802.11b print servers are available for USB and parallel connections.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants, cell phones, and other devices. Unlike infra-red technology, Bluetooth's reliance on radio signals means that devices do not have to be in the same room, office, or cubicle with an unobstructed line of sight in order to communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business network applications. The HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series printers have incorporated Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth adaptors are available for USB and parallel connections.

Laser safety statement

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has implemented regulations for laser products manufactured since August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape during any phase of normal user operation. WARNING! Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified in this user guide could result in exposure to hazardous radiation.

116 Appendix B

Labels

Label construction

When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following components:
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200 C (392 F), the printers maximum temperature. Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams. Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) of curl in any direction. Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

Transparencies

Transparencies must be able to withstand 200 C (392 F), the printers maximum temperature.
Guidelines for using media 117

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 following components:
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 28 lb (105 g/m2), or jamming might result. Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl and should not contain air. Envelopes that trap air may cause problems. Condition: Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Sizes: From 90 x 160 mm (3.5 x 6.3 in.) to 178 x 254 mm (7 x 10 in.).
Envelopes with double-side seams
An envelope with double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Make sure that the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in the following illustration:
acceptable envelope construction unacceptable envelope construction
Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer: 200 C (392 F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.

Envelope storage

Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

118 Appendix B

Card stock and heavy media
You can print many types of card stock from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer. For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 42 lb (157 g/m2). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear. Note You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.

Using the print servers embedded Web server 145
Troubleshooting the print server
Installed print server stops working
If you have successfully installed a network printer and you are no longer able to print to it, the problem might be related to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). In a DHCP environment, a DHCP server allocates IP addresses as computers and printers on the network need them. DHCP-supplied addresses are dynamic and might cause problems for computers and printers, which expect IP addresses to be static. If your print server acquired its IP address via DHCP, the IP address might have changed after you set up the printer. In this case, the printer is no longer available to the network. HP recommends configuring the print server with a static IP address.
