The HP Jetdirect Printer Installer for UNIX is a simple printer installation utility for HP-UX and Solaris networks. It is available for download from HP Customer Care Online at http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing.

Embedded Web server

This printer is equipped with an embedded Web server, which allows access to information about printer and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web programs may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment for programs to run on your PC. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. When a Web server is embedded, that means it resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) or in firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server. The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the printer that anyone with a network-connected PC and a standard Web browser can access. There is no special software to install or configure.

LocalTalk network configuration
To connect the printer to a Macintosh computer on a LocalTalk network, use the HP LocalTalk Cable Kit. You will need a kit for each printer and an additional kit for each Macintosh computer on the network.

UNIX/Linux networks

Use the HP Jetdirect printer installer for UNIX utility to set up the printer on HP-UX or Sun Solaris networks. For setup and management on UNIX or Linux networks, use HP Web Jetadmin. To obtain HP software for UNIX/Linux networks, visit HP Customer Care online at http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing. For other installation options supported by the HP Jetdirect print server, see the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrators Guide included with printers equipped with the HP Jetdirect print server.

Printing tasks

This chapter describes how to perform basic printing tasks. The following topics are covered: Controlling print jobs Selecting print media Configuring input trays Printing on special media 2-sided (duplex) printing Special printing situations Job retention features Printing with the optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver Managing memory

Controlling print jobs

In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull paper when you send a print job. The Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print, or Print Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. If you do not change these settings, the printer automatically selects a tray, using the default printer settings. Source. Printing by Source means you choose a specific tray from which you want the printer to pull paper. The printer tries to print from this tray, no matter what type or size is loaded in it. If you choose a tray that is configured from the embedded Web server for a type or size that does not match your print job, the printer does not print automatically. Instead, it waits for you to load the tray you chose with the type or size of print media for your print job. If you load the tray, the printer begins printing. If you press , the printer tries to print from another tray. Type and Size. Printing by Type or Size means you want the printer to pull paper or print media from the first tray that is loaded with the type or size that you choose. Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays and helps protect special media from accidental use. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead, and you specify the driver to print on plain paper, the printer will not pull the letterhead from that tray. Instead, it will pull paper from a tray that has plain paper loaded and is configured for plain paper on the printer control panel. Selecting media by type and size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and transparencies. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by Type for special print media such as labels or grayscale transparencies. Always print by Size for envelopes. If you want to print by Type or Size and the trays have not been configured for a certain type or size from the embedded Web server, load the paper or print media into Tray 1 and then select the Type or Size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the Print Properties dialog box. If you often print on a certain type or size of media, the printer administrator (for a network printer) or you (for a local printer) can use the embedded Web server to configure a tray for that type or size (see Using the embedded Web server). Then, when you choose that type or size as you print a job, the printer pulls from the tray configured for that type or size.

Print quality troubleshooting
Print quality problems associated with media
Some print quality problems arise from use of inappropriate media. Use paper that meets HP paper specifications. See Supported media weights and sizes. The surface of the media is too smooth. Use media that meets HP paper specifications. See Supported media weights and sizes. The driver setting is set incorrectly. Change the paper type setting to heavy or glossy. The media you are using is too heavy for the printer, and the toner is not fusing to the media. The transparencies you are using are not designed for proper toner adhesion. Use only transparencies designed for HP Color LaserJet printers. The moisture content of the paper is uneven, too high, or too low. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream of paper. Some areas of the paper reject toner. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream of paper. The letterhead you are using is printed on rough paper. Use a smoother, xerographic paper. If this solves your problem, consult with the printer of your letterhead to verify that the paper used meets the specifications for this printer. See Supported media weights and sizes. The paper is excessively rough. Use a smoother, xerographic paper.

Remove the eight screws holding the board in place, and set them aside. Slide out the formatter board and set it on a clean, flat, grounded surface. Release the locks on each side of the DIMM slot. Remove the DIMM from the antistatic package. Locate the alignment notches on the bottom edge of the DIMM.
Holding the DIMM by the edges, align the notches on the DIMM with the bars in the DIMM slot.
Note If you have difficulty inserting the DIMM or closing the latches, make sure the notches on the bottom of the DIMM are aligned with the bars in the slot. If the DIMM still does not go in, make sure you are using the correct type of DIMM.
Firmly press the DIMM straight into the slot. Close the locks on each side of the DIMM until they snap into place. Align the formatter board in the tracks at the top and bottom of the slot, and slide the board back into the printer. Replace and tighten the eight screws removed in step 2. Reconnect the power cable and interface cables, and turn the printer on. If you installed a memory DIMM, go to Enabling memory. If you installed a language font DIMM, go to Enabling the language font DIMM.
