Using the embedded Web server
If an HP Jetdirect print server card is installed in the printer comes equipped with an embedded Web server. Using a standard Web browser, this remote management tool allows you to do the following tasks: Configure network protocol settings Configure network security settings To use the embedded Web server, you must have a Web browser, and the printer must be connected to an IP-based network. (IPX/SPX networks are not supported.) You cannot use the embedded Web server when the printer is connected directly to a computer.
Gaining access to the embedded Web server
You can gain access to the embedded Web server from any supported Web browser. Type the IP address assigned to the printer into the Web browser. For example, if the printer IP address were 123.123.123.123, you would type http://123.123.123.123 into your Web browser. If you do not know the IP address for the printer, it is listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page. To print this page, press the TEST button on the print server card.
Embedded Web server pages
The embedded Web server, which contains information about the print server card, consists of these tabs: Home Networking
The Home tab provides information about the printer, such as physical location, IP host name and address, hardware address, HP Jetdirect print server product number, and amount of time since the HP Jetdirect printer server was last turned off and on. You can also use the Home tab to reach network configuration, security, and diagnostic parameters.

Networking

The network pages of the embedded Web server allow the network administrator to configure the HP Jetdirect card for the printer. See the online Help and the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrators Guide for more information. This guide is located on the Starter CD.
Making copies of the software
The Starter CD contains a utility that lets you copy the printer software on to disks, or to create custom installations, which is a task usually performed by system administrators. When you run the Installer, select Customization Utility to copy disks. You can also use this utility to copy the printer software to your hard drive or to a network drive.

Loading media

This section contains instructions for loading media into Tray 1 or Tray 2. To load a single card or envelope in the envelope slot, see Printing on envelopes and cards.

To load Tray 1 or Tray 2

1 Pull the tray out of the printer.
If you are loading paper in Tray 1 raise and remove the output tray.
To load paper between 11 inches (279 mm) and 14 inches (356 mm) long, move the latch on the tray to the right and lower the front of the tray. (You do not need to lower the front of the tray for letter-size or A4-size paper.)
Adjust the width and length guides to the size marking for the paper you are loading. Then, insert the paper.

Letter/A4

If you are loading Tray 1, reattach the output tray.

6 CAUTION

Insert the tray back into the printer. If you have loaded legal-size or longer paper, keep the front of the tray lowered. Damage to the paper or printer can result if you raise the front of the tray with this longer paper loaded.
Pull out the paper extension on the output tray.
Select the appropriate media type option in your application or printer driver.
By default, the printer draws paper from Tray 2, if it is installed. If Tray 2 is empty, the printer draws paper from Tray 1 unless you have selected the lock feature in the Toolbox. See Setting the tray lock.

Configuring trays

When you print a document, you can allow the printer to select the correct tray for the print job, or you can select a specific tray for the current print job. These settings are available in the printer driver in the Source is drop-down menu (Windows) and in the Print dialog box in the Paper Source or Source box (Mac OS). If you do not select a tray in the printer driver, the printer automatically selects a tray. By default, the printer draws paper from Tray 2 first, if it is installed. Computers running Windows can use the Toolbox to set Tray 1 as the default tray or lock a tray. A Windows user who sets these settings for a network printer will be setting them for all users of the printer, including Mac OS users. The following table lists possible ways you can use the trays to meet your printing needs. Tray usage Steps to complete

Changing settings for Windows
The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change these settings when you print on media of different sizes or types, or when you want to use an optional feature, such as printing to Tray 2 or printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. You can change printer settings from an application or the printer driver. Try to make changes from the application first. Changes made to settings from an application always take precedence over changes made to settings from the printer driver. If you want to change settings only for the jobs you are printing from the application that is currently open, change the settings from the application. After you close the application, the printer settings return to the defaults configured in the printer driver. If you want to set printing options for all jobs you print from all applications, change the default settings in the printer driver.
To change settings from an application (current jobs)
With a document open, on the File menu, click Print, and then click Setup or Properties. Change the settings and click OK, Print, or a similar command.
To change default settings (all future jobs)
1 Open the printer driver in one of these ways. For Windows 98, Me, NT 4.0, and 2000: From the Windows desktop, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers. For Windows XP: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes. 2 Right-click the printer icon, and then choose one of these options. For Windows 98 and Me: Click Properties. For Windows NT 4.0: Click Document Defaults or Properties. For Windows 2000 and XP: Click Printing Preferences or Properties. 3 Change any settings and click OK. The settings you chose will apply to all documents printed from all applications. You can override these settings from the printer driver just for the job you are currently printing. See To change settings from an application (current jobs). For additional information, go to http://www.hp.com/support/businessinkjet1100.
To set the default media type
Note Use this procedure to set the default media type to Automatic. Gain access to the default printer settings as described above. On the Paper or Paper/Quality tab, select Automatic in the Type is box and click OK.

For best printing results, still select the type of media you are using each time you print a document.
Changing settings for the Mac OS
You can change printer settings from the Page Setup and Print dialog boxes in the Mac OS. You can also select the default printer. The default printer is the one that is used if you choose the Print command without first specifying which printer you want to use with an application. The default printer should be the printer that you use most often. Note For more information about using the Mac OS to change printer settings, see the Mac Help on your computer.
To change page setup settings
3 Open the document you want to print. On the File menu, click Page Setup. On the Format for pop-up menu, select the printer for which you want to format the document, and then change the desired settings (such as selecting the type of media and setting custom page sizes). On the Page Size pop-up menu (Mac OS 8.6 to Mac OS 9.2.2) or the Paper Size pop-up menu (Mac OS X), select the media size on which you want to print. Click OK.

To change print settings

3 Open the document you want to print. On the File menu, click Print. Select the media or the type of media on which you want to print: Mac OS 8.6 to Mac OS 9.x: On the Paper Type/Quality panel, select the media source or the media type. Mac OS X: On the Copies & Pages panel, click All. On the Paper/Quality panel, select the media source or the media type. 4 If you have Tray 2 installed and want to print from Tray 1, select Tray 1 in one of these ways: Mac OS 8.6 to Mac OS 9.x: On the General panel, select Tray 1 in the Paper Source pull-down menu.

Printer takes a long time to print
Check your system configuration Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for the printer. See System requirements. Check your port setting The port setting configuration in your system might not be set to ECP. See the manual that came with your computer for information about how to change your port setting, or contact your computer manufacturer. Check the settings If the Type is set to Transparencies, or if the AutoSelect Type setting determines that you are printing transparencies, or if you chose Best mode, then printing will take longer. If you want these settings to be used, wait for the printer to finish. Otherwise, change the settings in the driver and print again.
Resolving printing problems
This section provides solutions to common printing problems.

A blank page printed

Check that the tape is removed from the printheads Each new printhead is packaged with protective plastic film covering the ink nozzles. Check each printhead and remove film if necessary. Clean any excess adhesive from the contact area on the backs of the printheads with a clean, lint-free cloth. Check for empty ink cartridges If you are printing black text and a blank page prints, your black ink cartridge might be empty. See Replacing ink cartridges. Check the printer setup If the printer selection is a problem, open the Printers folder in Windows and set this printer as the default. In the Mac OS, set this printer as the default in the Chooser or the Print Center. Check that the media you are using is wide enough The media width must match the page settings in your print settings. Check the parallel port on your computer If you are using a parallel cable, make sure your printer is connected directly to the parallel port. Do not share the port with other devices, such as a Zip drive.

Make sure that the stack of paper has been aligned with the right and front guides. Make sure that the tray has not been overloaded with paper. When you load paper, avoid fanning the stack. Fanning paper can cause static electricity to build up and intensify multiple-pick problems. When you reinsert a tray in the printer, make sure that you insert it gently. Forceful insertion with a full stack of paper can cause sheets to slide up within the printer, causing the printer to jam or pick multiple sheets at one time.
