Incompatible Memory Card Installed If an incompatible memory card has been installed the printer will flash all three lights simultaneously until the card has been removed. The memory card must be a 70 nsec or faster (for example, 50 nsec) card. Action: See Appendix D for memory card specifications.
3-4 Using the Front Panel

Front Panel Button Usage

The Front Panel Button can be used to accomplish the following tasks:
Wake Up If the printer is in SleepMode (all the status lights are off while the printer is plugged in to a power source) the printer will wake up to a ready state when the button is briefly pushed and released. Make sure that the Ready (bottom) Light is on and other lights are off. If necessary, wake up the printer. Briefly press and release the button. The Data (middle) Light comes on, the Ready (bottom) Light blinks, and the self test page prints. Printer Reset Press and hold the button until the three front panel lights begin to blink quickly in succession (about 5 seconds), then let go of the button. After resetting, the Ready (bottom) Light will remain lit if there are no printer errors. (Make sure there is paper in the printer or the error light will remain on.) The reset will return the printer to the factory default values (any downloaded fonts will be removed from memory). Resume (from Manual Feed) Continue (from memory error) Form Feed If the software application is set to Manual Feed, briefly press and release the button to print each page. If the printer has stopped printing because a page is too complex, press and release the button to continue. See suggestions on Error: Page Too Complex earlier in this chapter. If the Data (middle) Light and the Ready (bottom) Light both remain on, there is unprinted data still in the printer. This usually happens when you perform a print screen function in DOS or use software that does not send an end-of-job or form feed command when it finishes printing a file. Briefly press and release the button to print the remaining data.

Preparing for Printing

Purchasing Paper

HP LaserJet printers produce documents of excellent print quality. You can print on a variety of print media, including paper, envelopes, labels, and overhead transparencies. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality.

Printing 4-9

Printing Other Special Media
Only use media designated for use with laser printers. See Appendix B for detailed specifications.
1 To avoid paper curl, set the Paper Path Lever to the lower position to
use the Front Output Slot for a straight-through paper path. This is important when printing media such as postcards, transparencies, labels, envelopes, and heavy paper (28 to 42 pound bond weight). Center the sliding tabs to the approximate size of media you are using. Insert the media printing side forward, top side down, into the Single Sheet Input Slot or the Paper Input Bin. Readjust the tabs to center the media. Set correct margins, paper size, and orientation from your software.
Tips for Printing Custom Sizes
Set margins at least 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) away from the edges of the Do not print on media smaller than 3 inches wide (76.2 mm) or 5 Always insert media lengthwise (vertically) into the printer. If you
want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper horizontally may cause a paper jam. inches tall (127 mm). media.
Tips for Printing Transparencies
To avoid transparency curl, remove the transparency as it comes out
of the printer and set it on a flat surface to cool.

Tips for Printing Labels

Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or that
are wrinkled or damaged in any way. Do not use label sheets with the backing sheet exposed, such as labels with any spaces between them. Do not feed a sheet of labels through your printer more than once.

4-10 Printing

Printer Maintenance and Accessories

Conserving Electricity

After 15 minutes of inactivity, the printer will automatically shift to a powered down state called SleepMode (this function is not customer adjustable). During SleepMode the printer consumes very little electricity (6 watts). This is approximately the same amount as a VCR while not in use.

Managing Toner Cartridges

Expected Toner Life

The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in each print job. A page of graphics will use more toner than a page of text. For instance, when you print a typical business letter with about 5% page coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life of approximately 2,500 pages.
Extending Toner Life by using EconoMode
You can extend the life of your toner cartridge by using EconoMode. EconoMode uses approximately 50% less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. You can set the EconoMode option through your printer driver (refer to the help screens in the printer driver for more information).
Printer Maintenance and Accessories 5-1
Extending Toner Life by Redistributing the Toner
Areas of faded print are often an indicator that the toner cartridge is near the end of its toner life. You can temporarily re-establish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. (This is typically successful one time only.)
1 Open the printers door and remove the toner cartridge. 2 Gently shake the cartridge to redistribute the toner evenly inside the
cartridge. Avoid tipping the cartridge on end.
3 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the door.

Toner Cartridge Warranty

The HP C3906A toner cartridge is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 90 days from the purchase date. During this warranty period, HP will replace any cartridge that proves to be defective. Place the defective cartridge in the original packaging, or the packaging from a replacement cartridge. Be sure to seal the bag. Use the internal packaging to hold the cartridge in place. Please include in the box: Your name and address. The suppliers name and address. A print sample from the defective cartridge. A brief explanation as to why you are returning the cartridge. Return the cartridge to the place of purchase. They will exchange the defective cartridge for an new one and forward the old cartridge to HP.
Recycling Used Toner Cartridges
In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard has adopted a recycling program for used toner cartridges. Plastics and other materials are recycled. Cartridge components that do not wear out are reused. HP pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant. For each cartridge returned, HP donates one U.S. dollar to be shared by the Nature Conservancy and the National Wildlife Federation. To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the toner cartridge box.

5-2 Printer Maintenance and Accessories

Cleaning Your Printer

To prevent excessive wear and to preserve print quality, keep the printer free of excessive dust and debris.
WARNING! Before cleaning the printer, disconnect it from the power source.
1 Clean the outside of the printer with a
slightly damp cloth (use water only).
Caution Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the printer.
2 Clean the inside of the printer with a
dry, lint-free cloth. Remove all dust, spilled toner, and particles of paper.

Voltage Conversions

HP LaserJet printers are manufactured to different specifications for different countries/regions. Because of these differences, HP does not recommend transporting products sold within the United States to another country/region. In addition to the 115-220 voltage environment concerns, the country/region of final destination may have different import and export restrictions, power frequencies, and regulatory requirements.
The HP LaserJet family printers must be serviced by an authorized repair depot or reseller within the country/region where the printer was originally purchased. Because of the different specifications and warranty coverage limitations, Hewlett-Packard does not offer a conversion, or support the conversion, of U.S. version HP LaserJet family printers for foreign use. We advise those customers planning to transport equipment outside the United States to purchase the products in the country/region of final destination.
