Status lights

The status lights produce patterns that identify the printer’s status.

Ready light (green)

Attention light (amber)

● Ready light: Indicates that the printer is ready to print or the printer is processing data.

● Attention light: Indicates that the paper input tray is empty, the print cartridge door is open,

the print cartridge is missing, or another type of error occurred.

Note See Status light patterns for a description of the light patterns.

Printer paper input tray

The enclosed paper input tray, located in front of the printer, holds up to 250 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m

See Media specifications

) paper, multiple envelopes, or other media.

for more information about media types.

ENWW Identifying the printer’s components 17

Printer media guides

The paper input tray has a long media support and side media guides. Media guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the printer and that the print is not skewed (crooked on the media). When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the width and length of the media that you are u sing.

Printer output paths

Output bin

The output bin is located on the top of the printer. Printed media is collected here in the correct sequence when the straight-through output door is closed. Use the output bin when printing normal and large, collated documents.

18 Chapter 2 Getting to know the printer ENWW

Straight-through output path

The straight-through output path is useful when you are printing envelopes, transparencies, heavy media, or any media that tends to curl when printed. Printed media exits in reverse order when the straight-through output door is open.

Note Printed media does not stack when you use the straight-through output path. The media drops to the

surface below unless you remove each sheet as it exits the printer.

Print cartridge door

The print cartridge door is located on the front of the printer. You must open the print cartridge door to access the print cartridge, clear jams, and clean the printer. To open the print cartridge door, firmly grasp the left and right sides, and pull the print cartridge door toward you.

Note You will feel some resistance when you open the print cartridge door. Opening the print cartridge door

conveniently lifts the print cartridge for easy removal.

ENWW Identifying the printer’s components 19

Turning the power off

You must unplug the printer to turn the power off.

WARNING! To ensure your safety when working inside the printer for any reason, unplug the printer.

Understanding voltage conversions

Because of the different specifications, Hewlett-Packard does not offer a voltage conversion or support the voltage conversion of the U.S. version of the HP LaserJet family of printers for foreign use. If you plan on using the equipment outside of the United States, Hewlett-Packard advises you to purchase the products in the country/region where you will use them.

CAUTION Check your printer’s voltage requirement before you plug it in. If you plug a printer that requires 110-127

volts of power into a 220-240 voltage outlet, it will damage the printer.

● Choosing paper and other media

● Loading media into the paper input tray

● Printing transparencies and labels

● Printing letterhead and preprinted forms

● Printing custom-sized media and card stock

ENWW 21

Choosing paper and other med ia

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media. The following are the supported media sizes:

● Minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.)

● Maximum: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.)

Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media designed for laser printers. See Printer media specifications specifications.

Note Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. The media supplier should

understand the requirements specified in the Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media (HP part number 5963-7863). See Printer media specifications for more information.

for detailed paper and media

Optimizing print quality for media types

The temperature of the printer’s engine fuser affects the quality of your printed documents. Different types of media require different engine fuser temperatures to optimize the print quality. You can specify the type of media that you are using to print in the printer driver. This changes the engine fuser to the temperature that is appropriate for that media.

To change the media type in the printer driver 1 Access the printer properties. See Printer properties (driver) 2 Click the Paper tab. 3 Select the media type from the Optimize for drop-down list. 4 Click OK.

Note Printing speeds are automatically reduced when printing special-sized media.

for instructions.

22 Chapter 3 Media ENWW

Loading media into the paper input tray

The paper input tray holds up to 250 pages of 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper or fewer pages of heavier media (25 mm or less stack). Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side media guides and long media support.

CAUTION If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way , a jam might occur. See Printer

media specifications for more information.

Note When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the paper input tray and

straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time, reducing media jams.
