8 Chapter 1 - Setup

Installing the toner cartridge

HP recommends use of HP LaserJet toner cartridges. HP has designed the printer, toner cartridges, and toner formula to work together to give you optimal image quality from your printer.

CAUTION

To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to bright light. For extended periods outside the printer, place the cartridge in a closed drawer, return it to the original packaging, or cover it completely with a cloth.

To install your toner cartridge, you will need to first remove the toner cartridge from its packaging. (Save the packaging for possible cartridge storage and recycling.)

To open the printer door, pull it

toward you in a f orward motion using both hands.

Roll the toner cartridge back and

forth briskly to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

Grasp the end of the clear sealing

tape on the side of the cartridge. Pull firmly to remove the entire length of the tape. Once removed, the tape should measure twice the length of the toner cartridge or 490 mm (19.3 in).

Installing the toner cartridge

4 Hold the cartridge by the handle

(arrows facing the printer) and slide it down and back into the printer. The ends of the cartridge slide into the black plastic grooves in the printer. Push it firmly into place and close the printer door.

Note

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

10 Chapter 1 - Setup

Connecting printer’s cable and cord

Note

For best results, it is important that you use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable, such as the HP LaserJet cable, to connect the printer and computer. This cable supports all of your printer’s advanced printing capabilities.

Note

If your computer does not recognize your printer, you may have a faulty cable.

Connect a parallel cable to your

printer. Ensure the cable points in the correct direction before inserting.

Secure the cable by snapping the

two wire clips from the printer to the cable. A secure cable helps prevent communication problems between the computer and printer.

Connect the cable to a parallel port

on your computer. Secure the cable by tightening the attached screws to a parallel port.

CAUTION

Be sure to connect the cable to a parallel port rather than a serial port. Connecting to the wrong computer port can cause damage. See your computer’s documentation for more information about the ports.

Use only the power cord provided

with the printer. Connect the power cord from the printer to a grounded power strip or a wall outlet.

Connecting printer’s cable and cord

Using generic power strips and adapters

Note

HP does not recommend the use of generic adapters (or power strips), like the sample shown here, with your printer.

WARNING!

Take care when plugging the printer into a generic adapter, power strip or universal power strip. When using a universal power strip, align the printer and computer power cords so they face the same direction. It is essential that the ground contact of the printer power cord connect to the ground contact of the power receptacle. You could sustain serious injuries and cause damage to your computer and printer if you insert the printer ca ble plug incorrectl y. Check the adapter for specifications before using it with your printer.

12 Chapter 1 - Setup

Once the power is connected, the indicator lights on the printer’s control panel will turn on and then blink in sequence. The Error (top) light will stay on if the paper input bin is empty.

You will not find an on/off switch on your printer. After 15 minutes of inactivity, the printer will automatically shift to a powered-down state called SleepMode.

CAUTION

HP does not recommend use of battery backup or uninterruptable power supplies with your printer. Using them could damage your printer.

Attaching the label to the printer

A sheet of labels ships in the paper output bin of your printer. You will need to attach two labels to your printer: the first label is entitled “Remove and Realign Paper Before Reloading," the second label is entitled, "Do Not Switch the Paper Path while Printing."

Carefully remove labels from the

backing sheet. Attach labels to the printer’s paper input bin.

As the label indicates, always

remove and realign all paper before reloading. By doing so, you can reduce multiple paper feeds, paper jams, or both.

Attaching the label to the printer

Loading paper into the printer

Before loading paper into the printer, raise the paper supports located behind the paper input bin and the paper output bin. Using paper supports can help prevent unwanted paper curl and paper jams.

1 Raise the supports on the paper

input bin and on the paper output bin until they snap into place.

2 Insert up to 100 sheets of paper into

the paper input bin.

Note

Be careful not to overfill the bin.

3 Center the paper using the paper

guides on the paper input bin.

To test your printer, you can print a selftest page. To do so, make sure the Ready (bottom) light is on and all other indicator lights are off. Press and release the control panel button. (If the printer is in SleepMode [all lights are off], you will need to press the control panel button twice.) The Data (middle) light will come on and the Ready (bottom) light will blink. The self-test page prints.

14 Chapter 1 - Setup

Note

When adding paper to an existing stack in the paper input bin, always remove and realign all paper to avoid multiple paper feeds, paper jams, or both.

Selecting the output paper path

CAUTION

To avoid paper jams, do not switch the paper path lever once printer begins to feed paper.

Set the paper path lever to the upper

position to use the paper output bin. By doing so, the sheets will stack in the correct order.

Set the paper path lever to the lower

position to use the heavy media output slot. This straight-through path is the best output option to print postcards, transparencies, labels, envelopes, and heavy paper (100- to 157-g/m

CAUTION

If using the straight-through paper path, do not allow more than one transparency, 20 sheets of paper, or other media to stack up in front of the heavy media output slot. A paper jam could result.

[28- to 42-lb] bond weight).

Adding paper

When adding paper to an existing stack in the paper input bin, always remove and realign all paper before reloading to avoid multiple paper feeds or jams.

Selecting the output paper path

Using the single-sheet input slot

You can print one sheet of paper at a time without unloading the paper input bin. To do so, load one sheet into the single-sheet input slot. The printer will take from the single-sheet input slot before it takes from the input bin.

Note

The single-sheet input slot is helpful to use when the first page of your job is different from the rest. For example, you may want the first page of your print job on letterhead, or you may want to print an envelope first.

1 Center the paper guides to the

approximate size of the sheet you want to use.

2 Insert one sheet of paper into the

single-sheet input slot.

3 Readjust the paper guides to center

the sheet.

30 Chapter 3 - Printing

Printing on letterhead and envelopes

Letterhead

If you print one sheet of letterhead

followed by regular sheets of paper, place a sheet of letterhead into the (A) single-sheet input slot and regular sheets of paper into the (B) paper input bin. If you print several sheets of letterhead in succession, fill the paper input bin (B) with the letterhead.

Insert the letterhead with the print

side forward and the top side down.

If you are printing only one piece of letterhead, use the single-sheet input slot.

Note

If you’re having printing problems on embossed or pre-printed paper, make sure the paper meets HP paper specifications, see appendix C.

Printing on letterhead and envelopes

Envelopes

If you print one envelope followed by regular sheets of paper, place the envelope into the (A) single-sheet input slot and regular sheets of paper into the (B) paper input bin .

If you are printing several envelopes in succession, fill the paper input bin (B) with up to 10 envelopes. The number of envelopes depends on envelope construction and the operating environment.

If you are printing only one envelo pe, use the single-sheet input slot.

1 Insert the envelopes print side

forward as shown.

2 Set the paper path lever to the lower

position to reduce wrinkling and curling.

32 Chapter 3 - Printing

Printing tasks

Your printer capabilities include duplex printing, pausing between pages, and stopping a print job. You can also reset your printer if necessary.

Printing on both sides (duplexing)

When you print on both sides of a sheet, you may notice a difference in the way the printer performs. When printing on the second side of the sheet, you may experience some difficulties, such as getting the sheet to feed into the printer or multiple feeds. In addition, the print quality may be different on the second side of the sheet. To minimize these problems, you will want to use paper meeting HP paper specifications in appendix C.

Print the first side of the sheet as you normally would. Some

software programs include options that are useful when duplex printing, such as printing just the “odd pages” or the “even pages." Consult your software user manual.

Allow the sheet to cool and flatten before printing on the second

side to get the best possible print quality. Print the second side by placing the sheet back into the paper

input bin or the single-sheet input slot. Make sure the side that has already been printed is facing the back of the printer and the top edge of the paper is down, as illustrated below.

Printing tasks

Tips for duplex printing

●

To avoid paper curl, set the paper path lever to the lower position and use the heavy media output slot for a straight-through paper path.

●

To print one pag e at a t im e, select the manual feed option in yo ur software to pause the printer between pages.

●

Make certain that the sheet’s leading edge is not bent or curled.

Pausing the printer between pages

Occasionally , you may need the printer to pause so that you can load special media, such as letterhead. If you specify manual feed in your software, the printer will pause before printing the first page and between each page you print. This will give you time to load the special media.

1 In your software’s printer menu or bin/tray selection, select the

manual feed mode.

2 From your software, print the document. The Data light will blink

when the page is ready to print, indicating that the printer is paused and waiting.

3 After inserting the correct medium, the printer will pick the sheet

automatically . The printer will take media from the single-sheet input slot first. If it does not find media in the single-sheet input slot, it will take media from the paper input bin.

Resetting the printer

Resetting the printer accomplishes the following:

●

Clears all data from the printer memory (including unprinted data, downloaded fonts, and macros).

●

Finishes printing the current page.

●

Removes some error conditions.

●

Resets the printer to its factory default settings.

To reset the printer

Press and hold the control panel button until the three indicator lights begin to blink in succession (about 5 seconds), and then let go of the button. After resetting, the Ready light will remain lit if no printer errors are found.

34 Chapter 3 - Printing

Stopping a print job

If the file you send to the printer is only one or two pages long, you can stop the print job by resetting the printer as described above.

If you want to stop a large print job, see the steps below:

Remove the media from the paper input bin except for any sheet

that is currently being fed into the printer. Stop and delete the print job through your software.

Reset the printer.

Printing tasks

Printing on special media

Your printer is designed to print on a variety of media, including transparencies, envelopes, and custom-made paper. It is recommended that you use media that meets HP specifications. See appendix C for more information.

1 Set the paper path lever to the lower position to use the heavy

media output slot for a straight-through paper path. This is important when printing media such as postcards, transparencies, labels, envelopes, and heavy paper (100- to 157-

g/m

[28- to 42-lb] bond weight).

2 Adjust the paper guides to the approximate size of media you are

using.

3 Insert the media print side forward and top side down into the

single-sheet input slot or the paper input bin.

4 Readjust the paper guides to center the media. 5 Set the correct margins, paper size, and orientation in your

software.

6 Choose Print in your software.

Additional tips for custom sizes

●

Do not print on media smaller than 76.2 mm (3 in) wide or 127 mm (5 in) tall.

●

Set margins of at least 6.4 mm (.25 in) in your software.

●

Always insert media lengthwise (vertically) into the printer. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software.

36 Chapter 3 - Printing

Additional tips for transparencies

To prevent transparency curl, remove the transparency as it comes out of the printer and set it on a flat surface to cool.

WARNING!

Note

Use only transparencies specified for HP LaserJet printers.

Additional tips for printing labels

Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or

●

that are wrinkled or damaged in any way. Do not use any sheet of labels that has spaces in it where some

●

of the labels have been removed. Do not feed a sheet of labels through your printer more than

●

once.

Use only labels specified for HP LaserJet printers.

Printing on special media

Managing toner cartridge

It is recommended that you use HP LaserJet toner cartridge. HP has designed the printer, toner cartridge, and toner formula to work together to give you optimal image quality from your printer. To order an HP LaserJet toner cartridge, see appendix A.

You can expect a toner cartridge to print approximately 2,500 pages when you are printing typical business letters with text covering about 5% of the page. A page containing graphics uses more toner and shortens the life of the cartridge.

Extending toner life through EconoMode

An excellent way to extend the life of your toner cartridge is by using EconoMode. EconoMode uses approximately 50% less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, but is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. You can set the EconoMode option through your software (see to Help for more information).

Note When printing a best-quality document, you must deselect the

EconoMode check box.

38 Chapter 3 - Printing

Extending toner life by redistrib uting toner

Areas of faded print are often an indicator that the toner cartridge is near the end of its toner life. You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. (This is typically successful only one time.)

To redistribute toner

Open the printer door and remove the toner cartridge.

Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and pull it toward you so

that it slides out of the plastic grooves. (Remember to protect the cartridge from light.)

Briskly roll the toner cartridge back and forth to redistribute the

toner evenly inside the cartridge. Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the door.

Troubleshooting printing problems from MS-DOS

Networks and switchboxes

The printer’s status read-back feature requires a direct connection between the printer and the computer. Most devices connected between the printer and the host computer prevent the printer from sending data back to the computer.

If you use a mechanical switchbox, follow these guidelines:

●

Do not switch while the printer is printing or receiving data (when the Ready light is blinking).

●

Do not switch to a host computer that is OFF and then turn that computer ON. The Ready light on the printer will blink as if the computer is sending data. If the Error light is blinking, reset the printer. To do so, press and hold the control panel button for five seconds, and then send the job again.

●

Use a surge protector.

Out of memory

If the Error light is blinking, the page may be too complex for the printer’s memory capacity. To clear this error, briefly press and release the control panel button. Printing will resume; however, some data loss may occur. To avoid this error in the future:

●

Reset the printer. To do so, press and hold the control panel button for five seconds.

●

Set resolution to 300 dpi with your software.

●

Paper specifications

Printer paper specifications

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. This 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 manual. Paper that does not meet these guidelines may cause the following problems:

●

Poor print quality

●

Increased paper jams

●

Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of specific brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or control their quality.

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

Always test paper before purchasing in large quantities. If you still have questions, refer to the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide (English-only document). See the end of this appendix for specific information.

Using paper outside HP specifications may cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HewlettPackard warranty or service agreements.

Supported paper sizes (printer)

●

Maximum supported paper size: 216 by 356mm (8.5 by 14 in)

●

Minimum supported paper size: 76 by 127mm (3 by 5 in)

76 Appendix C - Paper specifications

Guidelines for using paper

For best results, use high-quality paper that is between 70 and 150g/m

(20-lb bond). Make sure the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.

If you are unsure what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper.

Some light-weight or poor-quality papers may cause print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.

Symptom Problem with Paper Solution

Poor print quality or toner adhesion. Problems with feeding.

Dropouts, jamming, curl. Stored improperly. Store paper flat in its moisture-

Increased gray background shading.

Excessive curl. Problems with feeding.

Jamming, damage to printer. Cutouts or perforations. Do not use paper with cutouts

Problems with feeding. Ragged edges. Use good quality paper.

Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed; faulty paper lot.

Too heavy. Use lighter paper.

Too mois t, wrong grain direction or short-grain construction.

Try another kind of paper.

Use long-grai n paper. Print using the heavy media output slot.

or perforations.

Guidelines for using paper

Labels

Label construction

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

●

Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

●

Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in) of curl in any direction.

●

Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

Envelopes

Envelope construction

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

●

Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105

(28 lb), or jamming may result.

g/m

●

Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6mm (0.25 in) curl and should not contain air. (Envelopes that trap air may cause problems.)

●

Condition: Make sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

●

Sizes: From 90 by 160 mm (3.5 by 6.3 in) to 178 by 254 mm (7 by 10 in).

78 Appendix C - Paper specifications

Envelopes with double-side seams

Double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.

Acceptable

Unacceptable

Envelope storage

Note

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope may wrinkle during printing.

Card stoc k and heavy media

Many types of card stock can be printed from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer.

For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 163g/m stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality , or excessive mechanical wear.

Printing on heavier paper may be possible if the tray is not filled to capacity, and paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield is used.

(43 lb). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds,

Guidelines for using paper

Card stock construction

●

Smoothness: 135-163 g/m smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield. 60-135 g/m

card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-250 Sheffield.

●

Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 in) of curl.

●

Condition: Make sure card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

●

Sizes: Use only card stock within the following size ranges: Minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in) Maximum: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in).

(36-43 lb) card stock should have a

8 Bab 1 - Pengaturan

Memasang toner cartridge

HP merekomendasikan penggunaan toner cartridge HP LaserJet. HP telah merancang printer, toner cartr idge, dan formula toner bekerja terpadu untuk memberikan kualitas gamba r yang optimal dari printer Anda.

PERHATIAN

Untuk mencegah kerusakan, jangan mengarahkan toner cartridge ke cahaya yang terang. Jika cartridge berada di luar printer untuk jangka waktu yang lama, simpan di dalam laci tertutup, kembalikan ke kemasan semula, atau bungkus dengan kain.

Untuk memasang toner cartridg e, pertama-tama Anda harus mengeluarkan cartridge dari kemasannya. (Simpan kemasannya untuk tempat cartridge jika diperlukan dan pendauran ulang.)

Untuk membuka pintu printer,

tariklah ke arah Anda dengan gerakan maju dengan menggunakan kedua tangan.

Gerakkan toner cartridge maju dan

mundur dengan cepat untuk meratakan toner di dalam cartridge.

Pegang ujung pita perekat di sisi

cartridge. Tarik dengan kuat untuk melepaskan keseluruhan pita. Setelah dilepas, ukuran pita harus dua kali panjang toner cartridge atau sepanjang 490 mm (19,3 inci).

Memasang toner cartridge

4 Pegang cartridge pada

pegangannya (panah menghadap printer) dan masukkan ke bawah kembali ke dalam printer. Ujung cartridge masuk ke dalam celah plastik di dalam printer. Tekan dengan kuat ke tempatnya lalu tutup pintu printer.

Catatan

Jika toner mengenai baju Anda, bersihkan dengan kain kering lalu cuci di air dingin. Air panas akan meresap toner ke dalam kain.

10 Bab 1 - Pengaturan

Menghubungkan kabel printer

Catatan

Untuk hasil terbaik, sangatlah penting bagi Anda untuk menggunakan kabel paralel IEEE-1284, seperti kabel HP LaserJet untuk menghubungkan printer dengan komputer. Kabel ini mendukung seluruh kemampuan pencetakan printer.

Catatan

Jika komputer tidak mengenali printer, mungkin Anda menggunakan kabel yang salah.

Hubungkan kabel paralel ke printer

Anda. Pastikan kabel menunjuk ke arah yang benar sebelum dimasukkan.

Amankan kabel dengan menjepitkan

kedua jepitan dari printer ke kabel. Kabel yang diamankan membantu mencegah masalah komunikasi antara komputer dan printer.

Hubungkan kabel ke port paralel

komputer Anda. Amankan kabel

dengan mengencangkan sekrup yang ada di port paralel.

PERHATIAN

Pastikan bahwa kabel terhubung ke port paralel, bukan port serial. Menghubungkan ke port yang salah bisa menyebabkan kerusakan. Untuk informasi lebih lanjut mengenai port komputer, baca dokumentasi komputer Anda.

Gunakanlah hanya kabel yang

disertakan bersama printer. Hubungkan kabel printer ke sumber listrik di dinding.

Menghubungkan kabel printer

Menggunakan sambungan listrik generik dan adaptor

Catatan

HP tidak merekomendasikan penggunaan adaptor generik (atau sambungan listrik) pada printer Anda seperti contoh yang diperlihatkan di sini.

PERINGATAN!

Hati-hati bila memasang printer pada adaptor generik atau sambungan listrik. Bila menggunakan sambungan listrik, atur kabel printer dan komputer supaya menghadap arah yang sama. Sangatlah penting kontak ground kabel printer terhubung ke kontak ground stopkontak listrik. Anda bisa mengalami cedera yang serius dan menyebabkan kerusakan pada komputer dan printer jika salah memasukkan colokan kabel printer. Periksalah spesifikasi adaptor sebelum menggunakannya pada printer Anda.

12 Bab 1 - Pengaturan

Setelah listrik tersambung, lampu indikator pada panel kontrol printer akan menyala lalu berkedip teratur. Lampu Salah (atas) akan menyala bila wadah masukan kertas kosong.

Anda tidak akan menemukan sakelar on/ off pada printer. Setelah tidak aktif selama 15 menit, printer secara otomatis akan beralih ke situasi rendah daya yang disebut Modus Tidur.

PERHATIAN

HP tidak merekomendasikan penggunaan baterai cadangan atau UPS dengan printer Anda. Penggunaan tersebut bisa merusak printer Anda..
