Glossy paper

In either the software application or the driver, select Glossy as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for glossy paper. Select Glossy for media weights up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond). Select Heavy glossy for media weights of 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) and heavier. Use the control panel to set the media type to GLOSSY for the input tray being used. Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring input trays for more information.
Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet Soft Gloss paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results. If HP Color LaserJet Soft Gloss paper is not used with this printer, print quality may be compromised.

Colored paper

Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper. Pigments used must be able to withstand the printers fusing temperature of 190 C (374 F) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced. The printer creates colors by printing patterns of dots, overlaying and varying their spacing to produce various colors. Varying the shade or color of the paper will affect the shades of the printed colors.

Envelopes

Note Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1. Set the trays media size to the specific envelope size. See Printing envelopes from Tray 1.
Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure proper printing on envelopes and help prevent printer jams:
Do not load more than 20 envelopes into Tray 1. The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond). Envelopes should be flat. Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps. Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that can withstand the heat and pressures of the printers fusing process. Envelopes should be loaded face-down with the top of the envelope to the left, and the short edge feeding into the printer first.
In high humidity environments, envelopes should be printed long-edge first to prevent them from sealing during printing. For long edge printing, envelopes should be loaded long edge first, face-down. See Printing envelopes from Tray 1 to change the printer drivers envelope orientation.

Labels

Note For printing labels, set the trays media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See Configuring input trays. When printing labels, use the following guidelines:
Verify that the labels adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190 C (374 F) for 0.1 second. Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components. Do not re-feed a sheet of labels. Verify that labels lie flat. Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

The first step for setting up an infrared printer is creating a Desktop Printer icon using the Desktop Printer Utility. By default, the Desktop Printer Utility is located in the Apple Extras/Apple LaserWriter folder on the hard drive. Printer IR will not be an option if the Infrared Control Panel and extenstion are not active. In addition, the infrared print capability is possible only with the HP LaserWriter version 8.6 driver or later. 1. Launch the Desktop Utility. 2. Select Printer IR (Infrared) and click OK. 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. Note 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.

Printing a job

1. Align your laptop computer (or other portable device equipped with an IRDA-compliant FIR window) within 1 meter (3 feet) maximum of the optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver.
The FIR window must be at an angle of within +/- 15 degrees relative to the printer to ensure an effective connection for printing. 2. Print the job. The status indicator on the optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver lights up, and, after a short delay, the printer control panel displays PROCESSING JOB. If the status indicator does not light up, realign the optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver with the FIR port on the sending device, resend the print job, and maintain the alignment of all devices. If you have to move the equipment, make sure that all devices remain within the range of operation to maintain the connection. If the connection is interrupted before your print job is complete, the optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver status indicator turns off. You have up to 40 seconds to correct the interruption and continue the job. If the connection is resumed within this time, the status indicator lights up again. Note The connection is permanently broken if the sending port is moved out of operation range or if anything passing between the ports blocks transmission for more than 40 seconds. (This block could be a hand, paper, or even direct sunlight). Depending on the size of the job, printing with the optional HP Fast Infrared Receiver may be slower than printing with a cable connected directly to the parallel port.
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. The printer then prints the job sent over the FIR connection. When the printer is done printing that job, it resumes printing the original job with multiple copies where it left off.

Do not place any item on the transfer unit while it is open. If the transfer unit is damaged, severe print quality problems may result. 3. Remove the used print cartridge from the printer.
4. Remove the new print cartridge from the bag. Place the used print cartridge in the bag for recycling.
5. Grasp both sides of the cartridge and distribute the toner by gently rocking the cartridge from side to side.
6. Remove the orange shipping tape. Remove and discard the orange shipping locks from the new print cartridge.
7. Remove the inside sealing tape by breaking the orange tab on the end of the new print cartridge and pulling the tape completely out. Discard the tape.
8. Align the print cartridge with the tracks inside the printer and insert the cartridge until it is completely seated and clicks into place.
If a cartridge is in the wrong slot, the control panel will display the message INCORRECT <COLOR> or INCORRECT SUPPLIES. 9. Close the front cover and then close the top cover. After a short while, the control panel should display Ready. 10. Installation is complete. Place the used print cartridge in the box in which the new cartridge arrived. See the enclosed recycling guide for recycling instructions. 11. If you are using a non-HP print cartridge, check the control panel for further instructions.

Common causes of paper jams
The following table lists common causes of paper jams and suggested solutions for resolving them.
Issue Common causes of paper jams1
Cause Paper does not meet HP-recommended paper specifications. A supply item is installed incorrectly, causing repeated jams. You are reloading paper that has already passed through a printer or copier. An input tray is loaded incorrectly.
Solution Use only paper that meets HP specifications. See Supported paper weights and sizes. Verify that all print cartridges, the transfer unit, and the fuser are correctly installed. Do not use paper that has been previously printed on or copied. Remove any excess paper from the input tray. Be sure that it does not exceed the maximum stack height mark in the input tray. See Configuring input trays. Input tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust input tray guides so they hold paper firmly in place without bending it. Remove paper, flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, or flip it over. Reload paper into the input tray. Do not fan paper. Reset the printer. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it. Reset the printer and print the document again. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it. Replace the paper. Remove the top sheet of paper. If the paper is heavier than 163 g/m2 (43 lb), it may not be picked from the tray. Replace the paper. This paper does not separate easily. You might need to feed single sheets from Tray 1.

If the paper tears, make sure that all paper fragments are removed from the paper path before resuming printing. 5. Grasp the the front cover and pull down.
6. Grasp the green handles on the transfer unit and pull down.
7. If the paper is wrapped around the fuser roller or stuck in the rollers, grasp the paper by both corners and pull down.
If the paper is wrapped around the roller, it is important to pull down on the paper to remove it. Pulling up on the paper can damage the fuser rollers and cause print quality problems.
If the paper tears, make sure that all paper fragments are removed from the paper path before resuming printing. 8. Firmly push the two green levers on either side of the fuser to re-engage the fuser rollers.
9. Close the transfer unit and front cover.

10. Close the top cover.

Jam in paper input path or paper path
7. Pull out Tray 2, Tray 3, and Tray 4 and place each tray on a flat surface. Remove any partially fed paper from these trays.
8. Inspect the paper path above and below to ensure that it is clear. Note If the paper tears, make sure that all paper fragments are removed from the paper path before resuming printing. 9. Check Tray 2, Tray 3, and Tray 4 to make sure the paper is located correctly in each tray and flush with the paper guides. Insert the trays into the printer. Make sure all trays are completely closed.

Jam in duplex path

2. Grasp the paper by both corners and pull down.
If the paper tears, make sure that all paper fragments are removed from the paper path before resuming printing.
3. Grasp the front cover and pull down.
5. If the paper cannot be accessed from this location, grasp the green handles on the transfer unit and pull down.
6. Grasp the paper by both corners and pull up.
7. Close the transfer unit and front cover.

8. Close the top cover.

Paper handling problems
The following table lists common paper handling problems and suggested solutions for resolving them. Use only paper that meets the specifications outlined in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. For ordering information, see Supplies and accessories. For paper specifications for this printer, see Supported paper weights and sizes. Paper handling problems
Issue Printer feeds multiple sheets Cause The input tray is overfilled. The paper exceeds the maximum stack height indicator mark in the input tray (Trays 2, 3, and 4). Paper is sticking together. Solution Remove excess paper from the input tray. Open the input tray and verify that the paper stack is below the maximum stack height indicator mark. Remove paper, flex it, rotate it 180 degrees or flip it over, and then reload it into the tray. Note Do not fan paper. Fanning can create static electricity, which can cause paper to stick together. Paper does not meet the specifications for this printer. Use only paper that meets HP paper specifications for this printer. See Supported paper weights and sizes. Use another type of paper.

Glossy paper is being used in a high humidity environment.
Issue Printer feeds incorrect page size
Cause The correct size paper is not loaded in the input tray. The correct size paper is not selected in the software application or printer driver.
Solution Load the correct size paper in the input tray. Confirm that the settings in the application and printer driver are appropriate, since the application settings override the printer driver and control panel settings, and the printer driver settings override the control panel settings. From the control panel, select the correct size paper for Tray 1. Print a configuration page or use the control panel to determine the paper size for which the tray is configured. Verify that the guides are touching the paper. Verify that the switch is in the correct position for the paper size. Use a driver for this printer. Load paper in the specified tray. Change the setting to EXCLUSIVELY.
The correct size paper for Tray 1 is not selected in the printer control panel. The paper size is not configured correctly for the input tray.
The guides in the tray are not against the paper. The custom/standard switch in the tray is not in the correct position. Printer pulls from incorrect tray You are using a driver for a different printer. The specified tray is empty. Tray behavior for the requested tray is set to FIRST in the system setup submenu of the Configure Device menu. The paper size is not configured correctly for the input tray.
Print a configuration page or use the control panel to determine the paper size for which the tray is configured. Verify that the guides are touching the paper. Verify that the switch is in the correct position for the paper size. Load paper in the requested tray.
The guides in the tray are not against the paper. The Custom/Standard switch in the tray is not in the correct position. The USE REQUESTED TRAY setting in the printer control panel is set to EXCLUSIVELY, and the requested tray is empty. The printer will not use another tray.
Change the setting from EXCLUSIVELY to FIRST in the Configuration Menu. This will allow the printer to use the paper in other trays if no paper is loaded in the specified tray.

Issue Printer is on but is not receiving data
Cause The printer Ready indicator light is not lit. The top cover is not closed properly. A printer message other than Ready appears on the printer control panel. The interface cable is not correct for this configuration.
Solution Press PAUSE/RESUME to return the printer to the Ready state. Close the top cover firmly. See Control panel messages. Select the correct interface cable for your configuration. See Parallel configuration or Enhanced I/O (EIO) configuration. Disconnect and reconnect the interface cable. See Changing printer control
