The UP setting raises the secondary transfer bias. Use this setting if you are seeing faded images or scattered toner on certain paper types. These problems might be worse on the second side of a printed duplex page. These problems occur more often in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, or with coated paper.

Use the DOWN setting if you are using light weight or thin media in a low-temperature and lowhumidity environment and you are experiencing highly mottled, distorted, or grainy images, or images with toner missing. This setting reduces the secondary transfer bias.

The product displays an “Order supplies” message when a supply is running low and a “Replace supplies” message when a supply has been depleted. To ensure optimal print quality, HP recommends replacing a supply when the “Replace supplies” message is displayed. Replacing the supply at this point can help prevent waste of media or other supplies when one supply begins producing poor print quality. The Override options allow the product to continue using color supplies, such as print cartridges, the image drum, the roller kit, and the image fuser kit, that have reached their recommended replacement points.

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)

The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.

The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need to enable them manually.

For more information, go to

UPD installation modes

Traditional mode

Dynamic mode

www.hp.com/go/upd.

Use this mode if you are installing the driver from a CD for a single computer.

●

When installed with this mode, UPD operates like traditional printer drivers.

●

If you use this mode, you must install UPD separately for each computer.

●

Use this mode if you are installing the driver for a mobile computer, so you can

●

discover and print to HP products in any location.

Use this mode if you are installing UPD for a workgroup.

●

To use this mode, download UPD from the Internet. See

provides the product with an IP address. Requires the administrator to input a product's MAC hardware address on the BOOTP server for the product to obtain an IP address from that server.

Auto IP For automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP

server nor a BOOTP server is present, the product uses this service to generate a unique IP address.

ENWW Supported network protocols 77

Configure network settings

You might need to configure certain network parameters on the product. You can configure these parameters from the installation software, the product control panel, the embedded Web server, or management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin.

For more information about supported networks and network configuration tools, see the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator’s Guide. The guide comes with printers in which an HP Jetdirect print server is installed.

TCP/IP

Similar to a common language that people use to communicate with each other, TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and other devices communicate with each other over a network.

Internet Protocol (IP)

When information is sent across the network, the data is broken down into small packets. Each packet is sent independently. Each packet is encoded with IP information, such as the IP address of the sender and receiver. IP packets can be routed over routers and gateways: devices that connect a network with other networks.

IP communications require no connection. When IP packets are sent, they might not arrive at their destination in the correct sequence. However, higher-level protocols and programs place the packets in the correct sequence, so IP communications are efficient.

Each node or device that communicates on the network requires an IP address.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

TCP breaks the data into packets and recombines them on the receiving end by providing a connectionoriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to another node on the network. When data packets are received at their destination, TCP calculates a checksum for each packet to verify that the data is not corrupt. If the data in the packet has been corrupted during transmission, TCP discards the packet and requests that the packet be resent.

IP address

Every host (workstation or node) on an IP network requires a unique IP address for each network interface. This address is used to identify both the network and specific hosts that are located on that network. It is possible for a host to query a server for a dynamic IP address each time the product boots up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).

An IP address contains four bytes of information, divided into sections that each contain one byte. The IP address has the following format:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

NOTE: When assigning IP addresses, always consult the IP address administrator. Setting the wrong

address can disable other equipment operating on the network or interfere with communications.

Configure IP parameters

TCP/IP configuration parameters can be configured manually, or they can be automatically downloaded by using DHCP or BOOTP each time the product is turned on.

78 Chapter 6 Network configuration ENWW

When turned on, a new product that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network automatically assigns itself a default IP address. The IP address for the product is listed on the product Configuration page and the Network report. See

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP allows a group of devices to use a set of IP addresses that are maintained by a DHCP server. The product sends a request to the server, and if an IP address is available, the server assigns it to that product.

BOOTP

BOOTP is a bootstrap protocol used to download configuration parameters and host information from a network server.

The client broadcasts a boot request packet that contains the product hardware address. The server answers with a boot reply packet that contains the information that the product needs for configuration.

Subnets

When an IP network address for a particular network class is assigned to an organization, no provision is made for more than one network being present at that location. Local network administrators use subnets to partition a network into several different subnetworks. Splitting a network into subnets can result in better performance and improved use of limited network address space.

Information pages on page 138.

Subnet mask

The subnet mask is a mechanism used to divide a single IP network into several different subnetworks. For a given network class, a portion of an IP address that would normally be used to identify a node is used, instead, to identify a subnetwork. A subnet mask is applied to each IP address to specify the portion used for subnetworks, and the portion used to identify the node.

Gateways

Gateways (routers) are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators between systems that do not use the same communication protocols, data formatting, structures, languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match that of the destination system. When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are required to connect one subnet to another.

Default gateway

The default gateway is the IP address of the gateway or router that moves packets between networks.

If multiple gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway is typically the address of the first, or nearest, gateway or router. If no gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway will typically assume the IP address of the network node (such as the workstation or product).

Manually configure IPv4 TCP/IP parameters from the control panel

In addition to using the embedded Web server, you can also use the control-panel menus to set an IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

Understand paper and print media use

This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:

Poor print quality

●

Increased jams

●

Premature wear on the product, requiring repair

●

For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laserjets or multiuse. Do not use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality.

It is possible for paper 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/or humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might

cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.
