HP ToolboxFX 147

Paper handling
Use the HP ToolboxFX paper-handling options to configure the default settings. These are the same options that are available on the product control-panel. For more information, see Control panel on page 9. Three options are available for handling print jobs when the product is out of media: Select Wait for paper to be loaded. Select Cancel from the Paper out action drop-down list to cancel the print job. Select Override from the Paper out time drop-down list to send the print job to another paper tray.
The Paper out time field specifies how long the product waits before acting on the selections. You can specify from 0 to 3600 seconds. NOTE: You must click Apply before the changes take effect.
Use the HP ToolboxFX print-quality options to improve the appearance of print jobs. These are the same options that are available on the product control panel. For more information, see Control panel on page 9. The four options provided for controlling print quality are resolution, REt (Resolution Enhancement technology), print density, and EconoMode. Resolution. Select 600 resolution for average print jobs and Fast Res 1200 for higher-quality print jobs. REt. You can turn on REt, which HP provides for improved print quality. Print density. For increased print density, select a higher number. For decreased print density, select a lower number. EconoMode. Turn EconoMode on when you are printing average print jobs. EconoMode is a feature that allows the product to use less toner per page. Selecting this option might extend the life of the toner supply and might reduce cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge. You must click Apply before the changes take effect.

Solution Replace the print cartridge. See Print cartridge on page 155.

The amount of background toner shading becomes unacceptable.
The media might not meet HP specifications.
Use a different paper with a lighter basis weight. See Paper and print media on page 45. Make sure that the single-sheet priority input tray is in place. Decrease the print-density setting throughHP ToolboxFX or the embedded Web server. This decreases the amount of background shading. Check the product environment. Replace the print cartridge. See Print cartridge on page 155.
The single-sheet priority input tray might be installed incorrectly. The print-density setting is too high.
Very dry (low humidity) conditions can increase the amount of background shading. The print cartridge might be defective. If you are using a non-HP print cartridge, no messages appear on the product control panel or in the HP ToolboxFX. Toner smears appear on the media. The media might not meet HP specifications. If toner smears appear on the leading edge of the paper, the media guides are dirty, or debris has accumulated in the print path. The print cartridge might be defective. If you are using a non-HP print cartridge, no messages appear on the product control panel or in the HP ToolboxFX. The fuser temperature might be too low.
Use media that meets HP specifications. See Paper and print media on page 45. Clean the media guides and the paper path. See Clean the paper path on page 157. Replace the print cartridge. See Print cartridge on page 155.
In the printer driver, make sure the appropriate media type is selected. Use the archive print feature to improve toner fusing. See Archive print on page 63.
180 Chapter 12 Problem solve
Problem The toner smears easily when touched.
Cause The product is not set to print on the type of media on which you want to print.
Solution In the printer driver, select the Paper/ Quality tab and set Paper Type to match the type of media on which you are printing. Print speed might be slower if you are using heavy paper. Use media that meets HP specifications. See Paper and print media on page 45. Clean the product. See Clean the paper path on page 157. Plug the product directly into an AC outlet instead of into a power strip. Use the archive print feature to improve toner fusing. See Archive print on page 63. In the printer driver, make sure that the appropriate media type is selected. Print speed might be slower if you are using heavy paper. The problem typically corrects itself after a few more pages. Clean the product. See Clean the paper path on page 157. If a repetitive mark occurs at the same spot on the page, install a new HP print cartridge. See Print cartridge on page 155. Use a different paper, such as high-quality paper that is intended for laser printers. See Paper and print media on page 45. Verify that the problem also occurs on the configuration page. If so, contact HP. See www.hp.com/support/ljm1522 or the support flyer that came in the product box.

The product name, IP address, or Rendezvous or Bonjour host name does not appear in the printer list box in the Printer Setup Utility. Cause Solution Ethernet hub, try connecting directly to the computer or use a different port. The wrong product name, IP address, or "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour" host name is being used. Check the product name, IP address, or "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour" host name by printing a configuration page See Information pages on page 140. Verify that the name, IP address, or "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour" host name on the configuration page matches the product name, IP address, or "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour" host name in the Printer Setup Utility. Replace the interface cable. Make sure to use a high-quality cable.
The interface cable might be defective or of poor quality.
A print job was not sent to the product that you wanted. Cause The print queue might be stopped. The wrong product name or IP address is being used. Another product with the same or similar name, IP address, or "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour" host name might have received your print job. Solution Open the print queue, and then click Start Jobs. Check the product name, IP address, or "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour" host name by printing a configuration page See Information pages on page 140. Verify that the name, IP address, or "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour" host name on the configuration page matches the product name, IP address, or "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour" host name in the Printer Setup Utility.
An encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file does not print with the correct fonts. Cause This problem occurs with some programs. Solution Try downloading the fonts that are contained in the EPS file to the product before printing. Send the file in ASCII format instead of binary encoding.
You are unable to print from a third-party USB card. Cause This error occurs when the software for USB printers is not installed. Solution When adding a third-party USB card, you might need the Apple USB Adapter Card Support software. The most current version of this software is available from the Apple Web site.
Solve software problems 197
When connected with a USB cable, the product does not appear in the Macintosh Printer Setup Utility after the driver is selected. Cause This problem is caused by either a software or a hardware component. Solution Software troubleshooting Check that your Macintosh supports USB. Verify that your Macintosh operating system is Mac OS X v10.3 or Mac OS X v10.4. Ensure that your Macintosh has the appropriate USB software from Apple.
Hardware troubleshooting Check that the product is turned on. Verify that the USB cable is connected correctly. Check that you are using the appropriate high-speed USB cable. Ensure that you do not have too many USB devices drawing power from the chain. Disconnect all of the devices from the chain, and connect the cable directly to the USB port on the host computer. Check to see if more than two nonpowered USB hubs are connected in a row on the chain. Disconnect all of the devices from the chain and connect the cable directly to the USB port on the host computer. NOTE: The iMac keyboard is a nonpowered USB hub.
