Media to avoid
This printer can handle many types of media. Using media outside the printer's specifications will
cause a loss of print quality and increase the incidence of jams.
■ Do not use paper that is too rough.
■ Do not use paper that contains cutouts or perforations other than standard three-hole punched
paper.
■ Do not use multipart forms.
■ Do not use paper that has already been printed on or fed through a photocopier or printer.
■ Do not use paper that contains a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.
Media that can cause damage to the printer
In rare circumstances media can damage the printer. To prevent possible damage, do not use the
following media:
■ Do not use paper that is embossed or coated unless it is specifically recommended for use in this
printer.
■ Do not use paper that contains irregularities such as tabs or staples.
■ Do not use letterhead paper that was produced by using low temperature dyes or thermography.
Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that can tolerate 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second.
■ Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, offsets, or discolors
when exposed to 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second.
■ Do not use transparencies that are designed for use with Inkjet printers or other low-temperature
printers. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP Color LaserJet printers.
22 Chapter 1 Product information ENWW
Page 39
Printing on special media
Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.
■
For optimum results, use conventional 75-g/m
2
(20-lb) xerographic paper.
■ Verify that the paper is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust,
wrinkles, curls, or bent edges.
NOTE Special media such as envelopes, transparencies, custom-size paper, or media that
is heavier than 120-g/m
2
should be fed only from tray 1.
To print on any special media, use the following procedure.
1 Load the media in a tray.
2 When the printer prompts you for the paper type, select the correct media type for the media that
is loaded in the tray. For example, select HIGH GLOSS (HP Color LaserJet 4650 models only)
when loading high-gloss laser paper.
3 In the software program or the printer driver, set the media type to match the media type that is
loaded in the tray.
NOTE For the best print quality, always verify that the media type that is selected on the
printer control panel and the media type that is selected in the software program or printer
driver match the type of media that is loaded in the tray.
Transparencies
When printing on transparencies, use the following guidelines:
■ Handle transparencies by the edges. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the
transparency can cause print-quality problems.
■ Use only overhead transparencies that are recommended for use in this printer. Hewlett-Packard
Company recommends using HP Color LaserJet Transparencies with this printer. HP products
are designed to work together for optimum printing results.
■ In either the software program or the driver, select TRANSPARENCY as the media type, or print
from a tray that is configured for transparencies.
CAUTION Transparencies that are not designed for LaserJet printing will melt in the printer,
causing damage to the printer.

Glossy paper
■ In either the software program or the driver, select GLOSSY, HEAVY, or HIGH GLOSS (HP
Color LaserJet 4650 models only) as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for
glossy paper.
■ Use the control panel to set the media type to GLOSSY for the input tray that is being used.
■ Because this setting affects all print jobs, return the printer to its original settings after the job has
printed.
NOTE Hewlett-Packard Company recommends using HP Color LaserJet High Gloss paper
with the HP Color LaserJet 4650 printer. HP products are designed to work together for
optimum printing results. If HP Color LaserJet High Gloss paper is not used with the printer,
print quality might be compromised.
Colored paper
■ Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.
■ Pigments used must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 190°C (374°F) for
0.1 second without deterioration.
■ Do not use paper that contains a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.
■ The printer creates colors by printing patterns of dots, overlaying and varying their spacing to
produce various colors. Varying the shade or color of the paper will affect the shades of the
printed colors.
Printing images
To obtain the best print quality when printing images, use HP High Gloss Laser Paper (Q2419A). In
either the software program or the driver, select GLOSSY, HEAVY, or HIGH GLOSS (HP Color
LaserJet 4650 models only) or print from a tray that is configured for glossy paper.
■ In either the software program or the printer driver, select HIGH GLOSS IMAGES (HP Color
LaserJet 4650 models only) as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for glossy
paper.
■ You can also configure the printer by using settings on the printer control panel.
Envelopes
NOTE Envelopes can be printed on only from tray 1. Set the tray media size to the specific
envelope size.
Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure high-quality printing on envelopes and help
prevent printer jams:
■ Do not load more than 20 envelopes into tray 1.
■
The weight-rating of envelopes should not exceed 105 g/m
■ Envelopes should be flat.
2
(28-lb bond).
24 Chapter 1 Product information ENWW
Page 41
■ Do not use envelopes that contain windows or clasps.
■ Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
■ Envelopes that include peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that can withstand the heat
and pressures of the printer’s fusing process.
■ Envelopes should be loaded face-down, with the postage-end feeding into the printer first.
Labels
NOTE To print on labels, set the tray media type to LABELS on the printer control panel.
When printing on labels, use the following guidelines:
■ Verify that the adhesive material on the labels can tolerate 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second.
■ Verify that no adhesive material is exposed between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels
to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause
damage to printer components.
■ Do not refeed a sheet of labels.
■ Verify that the labels lie flat.
■ Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

(32- to 53-lb bond).
HP LaserJet Tough paper
When printing on HP LaserJet Tough paper, use the following guidelines:
■ Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper by the edges. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on HP
LaserJet Tough paper can cause print-quality problems.
■ Use only HP LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together
for optimum printing results.
■ In either the software program or the driver, select TOUGH PAPER as the media type, or print
from a tray that is configured for HP LaserJet Tough paper.
Preprinted forms and letterhead
Observe the following guidelines for best results with preprinted forms and letterhead:
■ Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of
approximately 190°C (374°F) heat for 0.1 second.
■ Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.
■ Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during
storage.
■ Before loading preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is
dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.
■ When using the duplex printing setting (HP CLJ 4600 and 4650 models only), load pre-printed
forms and letterhead into tray 2 and tray 3 with the front of the page facing down and the top
edge of the page towards the back of the printer. To load preprinted forms and letterhead into
tray 1, load them with the front of the page facing up and the bottom edge feeding into the printer
first.

Service approach
Printer repair normally begins by using the printer's internal diagnostics and the following three-step
process.
1 Isolate the problem to the major system (for example, the host computer, the network or server,
or the printer system).
2 Determine if the problem is located in the accessories or in the printer engine.
3 Troubleshoot the problem by using the procedures in chapter 7.
After you locate a faulty part, the printer can usually be repaired at the assembly level by replacing
field replaceable units (FRUs). Some mechanical assemblies might need to be repaired at the
subassembly level. Hewlett-Packard does not support replacement of components on the printer
circuit assembles.

Installing a new overlay (HP Color LaserJet 4600 models)
NOTE The HP Color LaserJet 4610n printer control panel is available in English only. You
do not need to install an overlay or a label for this model. For HP CLJ 4650 models, see
Installing a new control-panel label (HP Color LaserJet 4650 models).
Some printer models are shipped without the control-panel overlay installed, or you might prefer
using a different overlay from the one that is installed. Overlays are available for several languages,
and you can change the languages for control-panel messages. If you are setting up a printer for a
language other than English, follow this procedure.
1 Open the top cover. Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to release the locking tabs on either side
of the control-panel overlay, and then remove the overlay.

Connecting to a computer
HP Color LaserJet 4600 and 4650 models support network and parallel connections at the same time.
NOTE Factory settings support automatic switching between the parallel port and one or
more network connections on the printer (HP Color LaserJet 4600 and 4650 models only).
For the HP Color LaserJet 4610n printer, you can connect to a network by using an HP Jetdirect
175x external print server. Connect the print server to either the USB port or the parallel port. USB
and parallel connections cannot be used at the same time.
Parallel connections
NOTE HP Color LaserJet 4610n and 4650 models: You cannot use the parallel connection
and the USB connection at the same time.
To establish a parallel connection, connect the printer to the computer by using a bidirectional
parallel cable (IEEE-1284-C). Plug that connector into the printer's parallel port. The cable can be a
maximum of 10 meters (30 feet) long.
When used to describe a parallel interface, the term bidirectional indicates that the printer is able to

Printer drivers
The optimal way to control the printer is by establishing settings in a software program or through the
printer driver. Changing print settings in a software program affects only that particular print job. In
most software programs, you can select print settings from menus within the program. Software
program settings and printer driver settings override the settings on the printer control panel.
For best print quality, always use the printer driver to select the paper or media type. Different media
types use different printer settings. For example, selecting transparencies in the driver causes the
printer to use a color table that is designed for the best print quality on transparencies. Selecting
transparencies also causes the printer to adjust printer speed and fuser temperature. Selecting
heavy or glossy media for example, causes the printer to change the engine speed.
The printer driver also gives you customized control of color text, graphics, and photos. Use the
printer driver to set the following color control options for the HP Color LaserJet 4600 Series printers:
See the printer driver online Help for details about color settings and how they affect printed output.
■ Print in Grayscale
■ Halftone options
■ Neutral Grays
■ Edge Control
■ RGB Color
For the HP Color LaserJet 4610n and 4650 models only, you can also set the following options:
■
Driver Autoconfiguration

Embedded Web server (HP Color LaserJet 4600 and 4650 models only)
This printer is equipped with an embedded Web server that provides access to information about
printer and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can
run, in much the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment in
which programs can run, on your computer. The output from these programs can then be viewed in a
Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
When a Web server is "embedded," it resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) or in
firmware, rather than being available 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
who has a network-connected computer or a standard Web browser can use. There is no special
software to install or configure. For more information about the HP embedded Web server, see the
Embedded Web Server User Guide. You can find this guide on the CD-ROM that is included with the
printer.
Features
Use the HP embedded Web server to view printer and network card status and manage printing
functions from your computer. With the HP embedded Web server, you can do the following:
■ View printer status information.
■ Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones.
■ View and change tray configurations.
■ View and change the printer control-panel menu configuration.
■ View and print internal pages.
■ Receive notification of printer and supplies events.
■ Add or customize links to other Web sites.
■ Select the language in which to show the embedded Web server pages.
■ View and change network configuration.
HP Toolbox (HP Color LaserJet 4650 models only)
The HP Toolbox is a software program that can be used for the following tasks:
■ Check the printer status.
■ View troubleshooting information.
■ View online documentation.
■ Print internal printer pages.
You can view the HP Toolbox when the printer is directly connected to your computer or when it is
connected to a network. You have to perform a complete software installation before you can use the
HP Toolbox.

Setting network security on the printer
This printer features control-panel locking, which allows network administrators to prevent users from
changing certain printer control-panel settings. When a menu is locked, unauthorized users trying to
change settings at the printer control panel will see the following message:
ACCESS DENIED MENUS LOCKED
Administrators can use HP Web Jetadmin software, the HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh, or an
ASCII escape sequence to perform this procedure. For instructions to lock the printer control panel
by using either the HP Web Jetadmin software or the HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh, see the
online Help.
Locking the control panel
Network administrators can prevent users from changing printer control-panel settings by
establishing a password and locking the printer control panel. Administrators can choose from
multiple levels of security and can lock certain control panel menus, allowing users to change the
rest of the menus, or lock all of the menus (including the C
TOP
models] or S
[HP Color LaserJet 4610n and 4650 models] button).

Using an ASCII PJL escape sequence to set network security
If you decide to use the ASCII escape sequence, you must use an MS-DOS or Windows ASCII editor
to create the commands. The commands must also be sent to the printer by using a DOS COPY
command or an ASCII file download utility. The PJL Technical Reference Manual is located on CDROM (part number 5961-0976). Order a copy of this manual from the HP Web site:
NOTE In the following examples, EC represents the escape character. For more information
about using escape characters, see the PJL Technical Reference Manual.
■ To lock or unlock the printer control panel if a password has not been set, send the following
ASCII sequence to the printer:
EC%-12345x@PJL JOB
@PJL DEFAULT CPLOCK=NONE (or MINIMUM, MODERATE, or MAXIMUM)
@PJL EOJ
EC%-12345x
■ To set the password, send the following ASCII sequence to the printer:
EC%-12345x@PJL JOB
@PJL DEFAULT PASSWORD=[numeric password (0 to 65535)]
www.hp.com.
@PJL EOJ
EC%-12345x
■ To lock or unlock the control panel if the password has been set, send the following ASCII
sequence to the printer:
EC%-12345x@PJL JOB PASSWORD=(numeric password)
@PJL DEFAULT CPLOCK=NONE (or MINIMUM, MODERATE, or MAxIMUM)
