Task 4 Load media into the trays

Front view

The printer has the following trays:

1 Tray 1 (multipurpose tray) with extending paper support

2 Tray 2 (250-sheet tray)

3 Optional Tray 3 (500-sheet tray)

Task 4 – 19

Using media types

The printer control panel can be configured so that the printer draws certain media types from specific trays. This enables you, in the printer driver, to select media by type rather than by tray (source). Selecting media by type helps prevent accidental printing on special or expensive media. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead, and you specify in the driver to print on plain paper, the printer will not accidentally print on letterhead from the letterhead tray. For more information on using the printer control panel to set the size and type of media for the input trays, see the online user guide.

CAUTION Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet

Transparencies (C2934A for letter-size and C2936A for A4-size) for optimum printing results. Do not use DeskJet (inkjet) or monochrome transparencies in your printer. The transparencies can become overheated and melt, causing serious damage to your printer.

The HP Fast InfraRed Receiver enables cableless printing from any IrDA-compliant portable device (such as a laptop computer) to the HP Color LaserJet 4550 printer (when the optional Fast InfraRed Receiver (FIR) accessory is installed).

The printing connection is maintained by positioning the sending infrared (FIR) port within operating range. Note that the connection can be blocked by objects such as a hand, paper, direct sunlight, or any bright light shining into either the sending or receiving FIR port.

System requirements

In order to print with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver, you will need:

●

The receiver connected to this printer

●

IrDA-compliant portable or other IR-capable host supporting IRLPT or JetSend Communications Technology over IR

●

Microsoft Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or Mac 8.5 with a LaserWriter 8.6 or higher driver.

Note Older non-IrDA-compliant portable computers may not be compatible

with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver. If you experience problems when attempting to print with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver, contact the manufacturer or dealer of your portable computer to verify compatibility with the IrDA standard.

For more information, see the user guide that came with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver.

Communicating with an optional HP JetDirect Print Server

If the printer contains an optional HP JetDirect print server, and you cannot communicate with the printer over the network, verify the operation of the print server. Print an HP JetDirect configuration page. If the message “I/O CARD READY” does not appear on the configuration page, see the troubleshooting section of the HP JetDirect Print Server Administrator’sGuide.

HP JetDirect 10/100TX print server

If the printer contains an optional HP JetDirect 10/100TX print server, check to see that the print server was able to link to the network:

●

Check the link-speed indicators (10 or 100) on the print server. If both are off, the print server failed to link to the network.

●

Check the HP JetDirect configuration page. The message “LOSS OF CARRIER ERROR” indicates that the print server failed to link to the network. If the print server failed to link, verify that all cables are correctly connected. If all cables are correctly connected and the print server still fails to link, follow the steps below:

1 UsetheEIOmenuattheprinter’s control panel to manually

set the HP JetDirect print server’s operating mode.

2 Verify that the configuration of the connecting network device

(such as a 10/100TX network switch) matches. For example, to set the print server for 100TX Full-duplex operation, the port on the network switch must also be set for 100TX Full-duplex operation.

3 Turn the printer on and check the print server operation. If the

print server fails to link, contact HP for assistance. Refer to “Support information” on page 60 or in the online user guide for URLs and phone numbers.
