Printer media considerations

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality.

The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user guide. Media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:

● Poor print quality

● Increased media jams

● Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or control their quality.

It is possible for media to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which HP has no control.

Before purchasing a large quantity of media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet printer family print media guide. The guidelines can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide/ or see

Ordering supplies for more information about ordering the guidelines. Always test media

before you purchase a large quantity.

CAUTION

Using media that does not meet HP's specifications might cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.

Supported media sizes

For information about supported media sizes, see Printer capacities and ratings.

You only need to have a supported web browser. To use the embedded web server, you must have Apple Safari, Microsoft Internet Explorer V5.5 or later, or Netscape Navigator V4.75 or later.

NOTE

The embedded web server does not provide e-mail or status alerts.

The embedded web server is available in English only.

The embedded web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. Below are examples of what you can do using the embedded web server:

● View printer status information.

● View and print internal pages.

● Order new supplies.

● Set the type of paper loaded in each tray.

● View and change the printer default configuration settings.

● View and change network configuration.

The embedded web server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The embedded web server does not support IPX-based printer connections.

You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded web server. However, if you click a link in the Other Links area, you must have Internet access to go to the site associated with the link.

To open the embedded web server

1. In a supported web browser, type the IP address or hostname for the printer. To find the

NOTE

IP address, print a Configuration page at the printer by pressing and holding the G

Once you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future.

2. The embedded web server has three tabs that contain settings and information about

the printer: the Information tab, the Settings tab, and the Networking tab. Click the tab

that you want to view.

Information tab

The Information tab consists of the following pages:

● Device Status: This page displays product information such as the network name,
