12 Chapter 1 Introduction

Product benefits

The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series is designed to be shared by a workgroup and lets you print, make copies, and e-mail digital documents with a single device. The MFPs multitasking capability enables multiple functions to proceed simultaneously. Note If the product is to be used as a network printer, the printer drivers must be installed on all computers that will send print jobs to the MFP.

Digital-sending

Digital-sending is similar to faxing information, but offers significant advantages.
sends e-mail to multiple e-mail addresses simultaneously, saving time and delivery costs ensures privacy by sending information directly to e-mail in-boxes rather than to a fax machine, which might have many users delivers files at near-original quality in black and white or in color sends files in PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or M-TIFF file formats, which can be modified by the recipient as needed

Walk-up copying

The product offers efficient copying services for the workgroup. Making a copy is as easy as pressing the START button to use the system defaults. The product offers full office copying functionality.

Using an optional power envelope feeder
With the optional power envelope feeder accessory, the product can automatically feed as many as 75 envelopes to the printer. To order a power envelope feeder, see Ordering information on page 125. See the documentation included with the accessory for instructions about operation and use.
26 Chapter 2 Basic operations

Using labels

To ensure excellent printing quality and avoid damage to the product, use only labels that are recommended for use in laser printers. Make sure that the labels meet the correct specifications (see Labels on page 119). Do:
Print a stack of as many as 50 sheets of labels from Tray 1. Load labels in Tray 1 with the side to be printed facing up, and the top, short edge toward the product.

Do not:

Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled or damaged in any way. Do not use labels that have the backing sheet exposed. Do not feed a sheet of labels through the product more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only one pass through the product. Do not print on both sides of labels. Do not print on sheets from which labels have been removed.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the product.

Using transparencies

Use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. For transparency specifications, see Transparencies on page 119.
Load transparencies face up in Tray 1, with the top toward the product. As many as 50 transparencies can be loaded in Tray 1. As many as 50 transparencies can be printed or copied from Tray 2, 3, or 4. Load them with the side to be printed facing down, and the top edge toward you. Remove each transparency from the output bin before the next transparency prints. Do not feed transparencies through the product more than once. Print on only one side of a transparency. Place the transparencies on a flat surface to cool after removing them from the product. Select the transparency media type in the printer driver so that the product uses the low-fuser mode that is best for printing them. Fan the input stack if two or more transparencies feed at the same time.

Job-handling priorities

The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series is designed to handle multiple jobs efficiently. Scanning and printing functions operate independently. You can use the scanner for digital-sending while a network printing job is underway, and printing can proceed while the scanner is in use.
To scan a job for sending or copying while printing is underway, place the document in the ADF or on the scanner glass and press START. If the MFP is printing and a copy is required, the copy job can be programmed and scanning will continue. The system can also be configured to allow you to interrupt a current printing or copying job. You are asked if you wish to interrupt the current job or wait until it has finished. If you interrupt the job, it resumes as soon as your walk-up job is complete.
Job-handling priorities can be changed by the system administrator through the System Setup menu either at the control panel or through the embedded Web server or HP Web JetAdmin. See Configuring multitasking priorities on page 141.

Control panel and control panel menus
This chapter presents a general overview of the control panel and the control panel menus. Specific control panel functions that pertain to copying, sending, and printing tasks are presented in later chapters of this guide. The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series control panel supports the product's convenience copying and digital-sending functionality as well as walk-up device configuration. The control panel offers all the options and capabilities that you expect from a standard copier, as well as full digital-sending capabilities. The control panel provides:

q q q q q q q

a graphical user interface. a numerical keypad for numeric entry such as PIN numbers and number of copies. a keyboard for typing e-mail addresses and other data. clear feedback during interaction with the control panel. status messages, such as information about trays and the toner cartridge. support for learning how to use the product's features. instructions and graphics to help resolve jams and other problems.

Changes made are reflected in the original graphic.
User-defined copy settings 45
Using the Copy Settings screen
Use the Copy Settings screen to select the options for the copies to be made if onetouch copying is not used. This screen allows you to scroll through various options, pressing to select features. Additional copy features are available through the Copy and Send menus.
Navigate to the Copy Settings screen and press. Scroll downward through the menu options to select the characteristics of the copies to be made. Available options include the following: Size: media sizes available for selection depend on the sizes of the media that is actually loaded into the trays, since the MFP senses media sizes when the trays are loaded. Scroll through the list to select from the following: Auto-Letter Letter-Manual Feed Legal - Tray 1 Letter - Tray 2 Legal, Executive, A4, A5, or JISB5
Auto means that the output size will match the size of the original. When you select AutoLetter, your Letter-sized original will be copied to Letter-sized media. Scale to Fit: source document contents are adjusted to fit the selected media output size.
Other media sizes are listed, but a tray must be loaded with these media sizes for them to be used. Sides: choose whether input is printed single or double-sided. For further information, see Duplexing a copy job on page 47. - Normal 2 - Flipped
If you select 2 - Normal in the Sides setting option in the Copy Settings screen, the back side of the two-sided page is printed right-side up. If you select the 2 - Flipped option, the back-side image is printed upside down relative to the front-side image.
46 Chapter 4 Walk-up copying
Quality: select output quality of an image. Best optimizes the output quality. Note Normal Best
If you select Best, scanning speed will be somewhat slower than when operating in Normal mode. Pages per sheet: select the number of originals pages on each output sheet. 1 (one sheet per page, with no border) 2 or 2 Borders (two sheets per page, without or with borders) 4 or 4 Borders (four sheets per page, without or with borders)

If a Lock icon appears beside the job name, the job is private and you must enter the correct PIN to print it. Use the keypad to type the number of copies. Press START to print the job.

66 Chapter 6 Network printing
Printing with the FIR port
The optional FIR port enables wireless printing to the product from any portable device (such as a laptop computer) that is compliant with IrDA (Infrared Data Association) standards. The printing connection is maintained by positioning the sending FIR port within operating range. Note that the connection can be blocked by objects such as a hand, media, direct sunlight, or any bright light shining into the sending or receiving FIR port. Note For more information, see the user guide that came with the FIR port. If you do not have infrared software installed, contact your computer manufacturer for drivers and installation instructions.
Preparing to print with Windows
Before launching the infrared driver, complete the following steps: In the Windows toolbar, select Start, click Settings, and then click Printers. Select the HP LaserJet 4100 mfp as your default printer. While in the Printers folder, choose Properties/Details, and specify the Virtual Infrared LPT Port. Select the file to print.
Preparing to print with Macintosh computers
The first step for setting up an infrared printer is creating a Desktop Printer icon by 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 is not an option if the infrared control panel and extensions are not active. In addition, the infrared print capability is possible only with HP LaserWriter version 8.6 driver or later. 5 Note Launch the Desktop Utility. Select Printer IR (Infrared) and click OK. Change PostScript Printer Description (PPD) File to match the product. On the File menu, click Save. Enter a name and location for the Desktop Printer icon and click OK.
When the icon is on the desktop (or saved elsewhere), product options need to be manually configured. This step is similar to selecting Configure after setting up a printer in the Chooser. To set the options, highlight the Desktop Printer icon and select Change Setup on the Printing menu.

Note If media is difficult to remove, try opening the top cover completely to release pressure on the media. If the media has torn or if you still cannot remove the media, see Clearing jams from the fuser area on page 83. 5 Close the rear output slot. Open and close the top cover to clear the jam message. If a jam message persists, media remains in the product. Look for media in another location (see Jam locations on page 78).
82 Chapter 8 Problem solving
Clearing jams from the fuser area
Use this procedure to remove jams from the fuser area:
when media has jammed inside the fuser and cannot otherwise be removed. when a page has torn while you were trying to clear a jam from the fuser.

Turn the product off.

WARNING! To avoid minor burns, wait 30 minutes for the fuser to cool before continuing with this procedure. 2 Turn the product so its rear cover faces you and remove the Tray 2 dust cover or optional duplexer. Unplug the power cord from the product. Open the rear output slot and pull the extension out until it stops. Remove the rear output slot and extension. To do this, bend the middle down slightly, release tab a, and then release tab b. Unlock the fuser by rotating the blue fuser levers so that they point up. Pull the fuser out of the product. To release the fuser from the product, hold the back of the product while pulling on the fuser. Do not pull on the black plastic flapper.

140 Appendix D System administrator guide
Configuring multitasking priorities
The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series allows processing of several jobs simultaneously. System defaults are set to give the walk-up user priority over jobs coming in over the network. The user can send digital documents while the MFP is printing. If a print job is in progress, the MFP scans in the originals and waits to begin copying until printing is complete, or, if the print job is a collated mopy job, until the next collated set is complete. All other print jobs in the queue will be held until the copy job is completed. If a print job is sent while copying is underway, printing will be delayed until the job is finished. System default multitasking priorities can be changed either at the control panel or through the embedded Web server. Use these components of the System Setup menu to change the system defaults.

ON - Any new control panel activity will suppress an incoming print job within the designated period of time, based on the assumption that the user wishes to copy or send a job. Printing starts immediately after the copy or send job is complete. OFF - An incoming print job is processed immediately, even if a walk-up user has already placed their originals and is ready to press the START key.
The Hold Off Time submenu allows the administrator to specify the period of time before a print job begins.
Reset copy timeout submenu
This option allows the system administrator to define the period of time that must pass, after any control panel activity, before the copy settings revert to their defaults. The default timeout value is 60 seconds.
Reset send timeout submenu
This timeout option defines the administrator to define the period of time that must pass, after any control panel activity, before the digital-sending settings revert to their defaults. The default timeout value is 60 seconds.

Most software programs do not require you to enter printer commands. See your computer and software documentation to find the method for entering printer commands, if needed.
PCL 5e HP-GL/2 PCL 5e printer commands tell the printer which tasks to perform or which fonts to use. The printer has the ability to print vector graphics using the HP-GL/2 graphics language. Printing in the HP-GL/2 language requires that the printer leave PCL 5e language and enter HP-GL/2 mode, which can be done by sending the printer PCL 5e code. Some software programs switch languages through their drivers. HPs Printer Job Language (PJL) provides control above PCL 5e and other printer languages. The four major functions provided by PJL are: printer language switching, job separation, printer configuration, and status readback from the printer. PJL commands might be used to change printer default settings.
