Printing and storage environment
Ideally, the printing and media-storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or too humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can distort. This issue can cause jams. As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation and print quality. Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be easily used in a short time (about three months). Paper stored for long periods can experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to a large supply of paper. Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environmental damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier. The media-storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum printer performance. The recommended condition is 20 to 24C (68 to 75F), with a relative humidity of 45% to 55%. The following guidelines should be helpful when evaluating the paper's storage environment: Print media should be stored at or near room temperature. The air should not be too dry or too humid (to moderate the hygroscopic properties of paper). The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day's operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes. Avoid storing paper and print media near heating and air conditioning vents or near windows and doors that are frequently open.

Access to default printer settings might be restricted and therefore unavailable.

Printing on both sides

To print on both sides of the paper, you have to return to the printer and reinsert the paper manually after the first side has printed. CAUTION Do not print on both sides of labels or transparencies. Damage to the printer and jams might result. To print on both sides (manually) 1. Insert enough paper into Tray 2 or optional Tray 3 to accommodate the print job.

Color options

Color options enable optimal color output automatically for diverse types of documents. Color options use object tagging, which allows optimal color settings to be used for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer driver determines which objects are used on a page and uses color settings that provide the best print quality for each object. Object tagging, combined with optimized default settings, produces great color from the printer without having to establish any special settings. In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the printer driver.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that was originally developed by HP and Microsoft as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices (printers and plotters). It is the default color space that is used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide Web, and most office software that is sold today. The sRGB standard is representative of the typical Windows computer monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.

Chapter 6

NOTE Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room's lighting can affect the appearance of colors on your screen. For more information, see Matching colors. The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop, CorelDRAW, Microsoft Office, and many other applications use sRGB to communicate color. Most importantly, as the default color space in Microsoft operating systems, sRGB has gained broad adoption as a way to exchange color information between software programs and devices by using a common definition that assures that typical users will experience greatly improved color matching. The sRGB standard improves your ability to match colors between the printer, the computer monitor, and other input devices (scanners and digital cameras) automatically, without the need to become a color expert.

Managing color options

Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents. However, in some situations, you might want to print a color document in grayscale (black and shades of gray) or to change one of the printer's color options. Print in grayscale or change the color options by using the settings on the Color tab in the printer driver.

Configure a static IP address for my printer

Internet Protocol (IP)

When information is sent across the network, the data is broken down into small packets. Each packet is sent independently of one another. Each packet is encoded with IP information, such as the IP address of the sender and receiver. IP packets can be routed over routers and gateways, devices that connect a network with other networks. IP communications is connectionless. When IP packets are sent, there is no guarantee that they arrive at their destination in the proper sequence. That task can be performed by higher level protocols and applications thereby allowing IP communications to be efficient. Each node or device that will communicate directly onto the network requires an IP address.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
TCP handles breaking the data into packets and recombining the packets on the receiving end by providing a connection-oriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to another node on the network. When data packets are received at their destination, TCP calculates a checksum for each packet to verify the data is not corrupt. If the data in the packet has been corrupted during transmission, TCP discards the packet and requests that the packet be resent.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
UDP provides similar services to TCP. However, UDP does not acknowledge data receipt and supports request/reply transactions with no added reliability or guarantee of delivery. UDP is used when acknowledgment and reliability are not required, such as during a discovery broadcast.

IP address

Every host (workstation or node) on an IP network requires a unique IP address for each network interface. This address is a software address that is used to identify both the network and specific hosts located on that network. Each IP address can be divided into two separate parts: the network portion and the host portion. It is possible for a host to query a server for a dynamic IP address each time the device boots up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).
NOTE When assigning IP addresses, always consult the IP address administrator. Setting the wrong address can disable other equipment operating on the network or interfere with communications.
IP address: network portion

Network addresses are managed by an organization in Norfolk, Virginia, recognized as InterNIC. InterNIC has been contracted by the National Science Foundation to manage the Internet addresses and domains. Network addresses are distributed to organizations that are in turn responsible for making sure all attached devices or hosts on the network are properly numbered. For more information on the network portion of an IP address, see Default IP address configuration (AutoIP) and Subnets in this section.

IP address: host portion

Host addresses numerically identify specific network interfaces on an IP network. Usually a host has only one network interface; thus, only one IP address. Because no two devices can share the same number at the same time, administrators typically maintain address tables to assure correct assignment of addresses in the host network.
IP address structure and class
An IP address is comprised of 32 bits of information and divided into 4 sections containing 1 byte each section or 4 bytes total: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx For efficiency in routing, networks were broken down into three classes, so routing can begin simply by identifying the leading byte of information in the IP address. The three IP addresses that InterNIC assigns are class A, B, and C. The network class determines what each of the four IP address sections identify as shown below:
Table 8-5 IP address class format
Class First Address Byte xxx. Network. Network. Network. Second Address Byte xxx. Host. Network. Network. Third Address Byte xxx. Host. Host. Network. Fourth Address Byte xxx Host. Host. Host.
As illustrated in Table 8-6 Network class characteristics, each network class differs by the leading bit identifier, the address range, the number of each type available, and the maximum number of hosts each class allows.
Table 8-6 Network class characteristics
Class Network Class Characteristics 0 10. 110. Address Range Maximum Number of Maximum Hosts in Networks in the Class the Network 126. 16,382. Over 2 Million. Over 16 Million. 65,534. 254.
0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255. 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255. 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255.

Paper handling

Use the HP ToolboxFX paper-handling options to configure your default settings. These are the same options that are available on the System setup and Paper setup menus on the control-panel. For more information, see Control panel menus. 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 printer waits before acting on your selections. You can specify from 0 to 3600 seconds. NOTE You must click Apply before your changes take effect.

Printing

Use the HP ToolboxFX printing settings options to configure the settings for all print functions. These are the same options that are available on the Print Settings menu on the control panel. For more information, see Control panel menus. NOTE You must click Apply before your changes take effect.
Use the PCL5e options to configure the settings when you are using the PCL5e print personality. These are the same options that are available on the PCL5e menu on the control panel. NOTE You must click Apply before your changes take effect.

PostScript

Use the PostScript option when you are using the PostScript print personality. When the Print PostScript error option is turned on, the PostScript error page automatically prints when PostScript errors occur.

Print quality

Use the HP ToolboxFX print-quality options to improve the appearance of your print jobs. These are the same options that are available on the System setup and Print quality menu on the control panel. For more information, see Control panel menus. The following options provided for controlling print quality are Color Calibration and Grayscale Printing. Color Calibration. The following options are available. Power On Calibration Calibration Timing Calibrate Now
Grayscale Printing. The following options are available. Resolution. Select 600 resolution for average print jobs and Fast Res 1200 for higherquality print jobs. Select ProRes 1200 for the highest-quality print job, but a longer printing time. REt. You can turn on REt, which HP provides for improved print quality. Economode. Turn Economode on when you are printing average print jobs. Economode reduces print quality, but increases the life of your print cartridge. To increase print quality, turn Economode off. HP does not recommend full-time use of Economode.

Print density

The print density settings allow you to make fine adjustments of the density (amount) of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black toner in your images, pages, and documents. Contrasts. Contrast is the density difference between light (highlight) and dark (shadow) colors. To increase the difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a negative highlight adjustment and a positive shadow adjustment), use a positive contrast setting. To decrease the difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a positive highlight adjustment and a negative shadow adjustment), use a negative contrast setting. Highlights. Highlight colors are colors near white. To make highlight colors darker, use a positive highlight setting, and to make highlight colors lighter use a negative highlight setting. This adjustment does not affect midtone or shadow colors.

Networking tab

This tab allows the network administrator to control network-related settings for the printer when it is connected to an IP-based network. IP Configuration. Use this page to set the IP configuration. Advanced. Use this page to enable network features such as SLP Config, DHCP, BootP, and AutoIP. mDNS. Use this page to set the mDNS.

Managing supplies

For warranty information about these supplies, see Print Cartridge Limited Warranty Statement.

Supplies life

The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at approximately 5% coverage, a cyan, magenta, or yellow print cartridge for the HP Color LaserJet 2605 series printers lasts an average of 2,000 pages, and a black print cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages. A typical business letter has 5% coverage.
Checking and ordering supplies
You can check the supplies status by using the printer control panel, printing a Supplies Status page, or viewing the HP ToolboxFX, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you place an order for a replacement print cartridge when you first receive the Low message for a print cartridge. For typical use, the Order message indicates that approximately two weeks of life remains. When you use a new, authentic HP print cartridge, you can obtain the following types of supplies information: Amount of cartridge remaining Estimated number of pages remaining Number of pages printed Other supplies information

Make sure that the paper or other print media is loaded correctly and that the media guides are not too tight or too loose against the stack. See Loading trays. Use a different paper, such as highquality paper that is intended for color laser printers.
The media might not meet HP specifications.

Solution

The printed page contains wrinkles or creases.
Verify that the media is loaded correctly and that the media guides are not too tight or too loose against the stack. See Loading trays. Turn over the stack of paper in the input tray, or try rotating the paper 180 in the input tray.
Use a different paper, such as highquality paper that is intended for color laser printers.
Toner appears around the printed characters.
The media might be loaded incorrectly. If large amounts of toner have scattered around the characters, the paper might have high resistivity.
Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Use a different paper, such as highquality paper that is intended for color laser printers.
An image that appears at the top of the page (in solid black) repeats farther down the page (in a gray field).
Software settings might affect image printing.
In your software program, change the tone (darkness) of the field in which the repeated image appears. In your software program, rotate the whole page 180 to print the lighter image first.
The order of images printed might affect printing.
Change the order in which the images are printed. For example, have the lighter image at the top of the page, and the darker image farther down the page. If the defect occurs later in a print job, turn the printer off for 10 minutes, and then turn on the printer to restart the print job.
A power surge might have affected the printer.
Solving issues with color documents This section describes issues that can occur when you print in color.
Problem Only black is printing when the document should be printing in color. Cause Color mode is not selected in your program or printer driver. The correct printer driver might not be selected in the program. The printer might not be correctly configured. Solution Select color mode instead of grayscale mode. Select the correct printer driver. Print a Configuration page. If no color appears on the Configuration page, contact HP Customer Care. See HP Customer Care or the support flyer that came in the printer box.
