Understand paper 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 poor print
quality, increased jams, and premature wear on the product.
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers 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.
Special paper guidelines
This product supports printing on special media. Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory
results. When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the type and size in the printer driver
to obtain the best results.
CAUTION: HP LaserJet products use fusers to bond dry toner particles to the paper in very precise
dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat. Using inkjet paper could damage the
product.

Automatic paper sensing (auto-sense mode)
The automatic media type sensor functions when that tray is configured to the Any Type or plain type
setting. It also functions when the Print Mode setting for that tray is set to the Auto Sense Mode
option.
After it has picked up paper from the tray, the product can detect overhead transparencies, paper
weight, and gloss level.
For more control, a specific type must be selected in the job or configured in a tray.

light paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and
transparencies. The product assumes the rest of the pages are of the same type.
Select the paper by source, type, or size
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull
media when you send a print job. Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print,
Preferences, or Print Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. Unless you change these
settings, the product automatically selects a tray using the default settings.
Source
To print by source, select a specific tray in the printer driver for the product to pull from. If you select a
tray that is configured for a type or size that does not match your print job, the product prompts you to
load the tray with the type or size of paper for your print job before printing it. When you load the tray,
the product begins printing.
Type and Size
Printing by type or size causes the product to pull from the tray that is loaded with the correct
●
type and size of paper.
Selecting paper by type rather than source helps protect special paper from accidental use.
●
Using the wrong setting might result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for
●
special print media, such as labels or transparencies.
Print by type or size for envelopes, if possible.
●

Automatic
Setting color options to the default or Automatic setting typically produces the best possible print

information, see the printer driver online Help.
Print in Grayscale
Select the Print in Grayscale option (Windows) or the Print Color as Gray option (Mac) from the

priority.
Detail is useful for text and graphics that require sharp
●

pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option when sharp
edges and details are the top priority.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method
for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and
photographs.
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are
rendered. Edge control has two components:
adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive
halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping
reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by
overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly.
Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using
●
only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color
cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale
viewgraphs.
4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining
●
●
●
●
●
all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients
and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black.
Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive
halftoning is on.
Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is
on.
Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on.
Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.

Use the HP EasyColor option
If you are using the HP PCL 6 printer driver for Windows, the HP EasyColor technology automatically
improves mixed-content documents that are printed from Microsoft Office programs. This technology
scans documents and automatically adjusts photographic images in .JPEG or .PNG format.
HP EasyColor technology enhances the entire image at one time, rather than dividing it into several
pieces, which results in improved color consistency, sharper details, and faster printing.
If you are using the HP Postscript printer driver for Mac, HP EasyColor technology scans all
documents and automatically adjusts all photographic images with the same improved photographic
results.
In the following example, the images on the left were created without using the HP EasyColor option.
The images on the right show the enhancements that result from using the HP EasyColor option.
The HP EasyColor option is enabled by default in both the HP PCL 6 printer driver and the HP Mac
Postscript printer driver, so you do not need to make manual color adjustments. To disable the option
so you can manually adjust the color settings, open the Color tab in the Windows driver or the Color/

Match colors
The process of matching product output color to a computer screen is quite complex because printers
and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors
pixels using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers
magenta, yellow, and black) process.
Several factors can influence the ability to match printed colors to those on a monitor. These factors
include:
Paper
●
Printer colorants (inks or toners for example)
●
Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology for example)
●
display

Personal differences in perception of color
●
Software programs
●
Print drivers
●
Computer operating system
●
Monitors and monitor settings
●
Video cards and drivers
●
Operating environment (humidity for example)
●
For most situations, the best method for matching colors on the screen to the printed page is to print
sRGB colors.
Sample book color matching
The process for matching product output to preprinted sample books and standard color references is
complex. In general, you can obtain a reasonably good match to a sample book if the inks used to
create the sample book are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are usually referred to as
process color sample books.
Some sample books are created from spot colors. Spot colors are specially created colorants. Many
of these spot colors are outside of the range of the product. Most spot color sample books have
companion process sample books that provide CMYK approximations to the spot color.
Most process sample books will state which process standards were used to print the sample book.
In most cases they will be SWOP, EURO, or DIC. To get optimal color matching to the process
sample book, select the corresponding ink emulation from the product menu. If you cannot identify
the process standard, use SWOP ink emulation.
Print color samples
To use the color samples, select the color sample that is the closest match to the desired color. Use
the sample’s color value in the software program to describe the object you wish to match. Printed
colors vary depending on the paper type and the software program.
Use the following procedure to print color samples at the product using the control panel:

PANTONE® color matching
PANTONE has multiple color matching systems. PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® is very popular
and uses solid inks to generate a wide range of color hues and tints.
NOTE: PANTONE Colors generated might not match PANTONE-identified standards. Consult
current PANTONE Publications for accurate color.

HP policy on non-HP supplies
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new or
remanufactured.
NOTE: For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or a refilled toner cartridge
does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer.
However, if product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or refilled

particular failure or damage.
HP anticounterfeit Web site
Go to www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit when you install an HP toner cartridge and the control-panel
message says the cartridge is non-HP. HP will help determine if the cartridge is genuine and take
steps to resolve the problem.
Your toner cartridge might not be a genuine HP toner cartridge if you notice the following:
The supplies status page indicates that a non-HP supply is installed.
●
You are experiencing a high number of problems with the cartridge.
●
The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the packaging differs from
●

cartridge arrived. Use the enclosed return label to send the used supply to HP for recycling. For
complete information, see the recycling guide that is included with each new HP supply item.
Data stored on the toner cartridge
The HP toner cartridges used with this product contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of
the product.
In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product,
which might include the following: the date when the toner cartridge was first installed, the date when
the toner cartridge was last used, the number of pages printed using the toner cartridge, the page
coverage, the printing modes used, any printing errors that might have occurred, and the product
model. This information helps HP design future products to meet our customers' printing needs.
