Extended warranty

In most countries/regions, HP Care Pack provides additional coverage, beyond standard warranty for the HP device and for all HP-supplied internal components. This hardware maintenance can uplift the standard warranty, for example, from next-day to same-day service, or extend it up to 5 years. The HP Care Pack can provide Express Exchange or onsite service. For more information, see the support flyer that came with the device for the appropriate phone numbers and information.

Print-cartridge information

The print cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major consumable parts. The print cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner.
The standard print-cartridge life is 2,000 pages, in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752.
NOTE Actual print cartridge life depends on specific usage.

Refilled print cartridges

While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled print cartridges during the warranty period or while the product is under a maintenance contract, use of refilled cartridges is not recommended for the following reasons:
Repairs resulting from the use of refilled cartridges are not covered under Hewlett-Packard warranty
or maintenance contracts.
Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled cartridge functions at the high
level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet print cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict the long­term reliability effect on the product from using the different toner formulations that are found in refilled cartridges.
The print quality of HP LaserJet print cartridges influences the customer’s perception of the product.
Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled cartridge.
Parts that are critical to print quality might not be replaced when the cartridge is refilled with toner.

Recycling print cartridges

In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program. Cartridge components that do not wear out are recycled. Plastics and other materials are recycled. Hewlett-Packard pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant (within the United States). To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the print cartridge box. See
www.hp.com/recycle for more information.

Media specifications

The printers accept a variety of media. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and output quality. Media should conform to the guidelines in the user guide. Media that does not meet HP guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased media jams, or premature wear on the product, which might require printer repair.
CAUTION Damage that is caused by using media that does not meet HP specifications is not
covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for using media

HP LaserJet printers produce documents that have excellent print quality. They can print on a variety of media types, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media.

Paper and transparencies

Paper must be of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, holes, and curled or bent edges. Check the label on the paper package for details about the type of paper (such as bond or recycled).
Some paper causes print-quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.
NOTE Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in
some types of thermography, raised letterhead, or colored paper or preprinted forms that use inks incompatible with the printer temperature, which is 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.
Transparencies must be able to withstand 200°C (392°F), the maximum print temperature.

perforations.
guides on the input tray are correctly adjusted.
Store paper in a low humidity area or air tight container or change the media type to light.

Labels

When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200°C (392°F), the printer’s maximum
temperature.
Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets
that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any direction.
ENWW Guidelines for using media 17
Page 29
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation. Never use
a sheet of labels that has already been run through the printer.

Envelopes

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 on the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m result.
Construction: Before printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) curl and
should not contain air. Envelopes that trap air may cause problems.
Condition: Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
Sizes: From 90 x 160 mm (3.5 x 6.3 inches) to 178 x 254 mm (7 x 10 inches).
Store envelopes flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.
2
(28 lb), or jamming might
Envelopes with double-side seams
An envelope with double-side-seam construction (vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams) is more likely to wrinkle. Make sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in top figure of the following illustration:
Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer: 200°C (392°F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.
18 Chapter 2 Installation and Operation ENWW
Page 30

Card stock and heavy media

For optimum performance, do not use paper heavier than 157-g/m 2 (42-lb). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.
Card-stock construction
Smoothness: 135- to 157-g/m to 180 Sheffield. 60- to135-g/m to 250 Sheffield.
Construction : Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) of curl.
Condition: Make sure that the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
Sizes: Only use card stock within the following size ranges:
Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches)
Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches)
2
(36- to 42-lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100

Loading media

Loading media in the HP LaserJet 1022 series printers is simple and straightforward.
This section describes loading bulk media to print.

Main input tray

The main input tray holds up to 250 sheets of 75-g/m 2 (20-lb) paper or a 25 mm (0.98 inch) stack of heavier media. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing up. To prevent jams and skew, always adjust the side and rear media guides.

Priority feed slot

The priority feed slot is used to feed a single sheet of recommended media for manual feeding and special operations. It can hold one page of 75-g/m of heavy paper (163-g/m the top forward and the side to be printed on facing up. To prevent jams and skew, always adjust the side media guides.
If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might occur. See the user guide for more information. See
NOTE When adding new media, make sure to remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time, and therefore reduces jams.

Jams

Clearing jams

CAUTION Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or needle nose pliers, to remove jams.
Damage caused by sharp objects will not be covered by the warranty.
CAUTION Always pull jammed media in the direction it would travel through the paper path.
Do not pull jammed media against the direction of travel through the paper path to avoid damage to the printer.
To prevent damage to the printer when clearing jams, including jams in the output bin, always open the print-cartridge door and remove the print cartridge. Keep the door open and the cartridge out until the jam has been cleared. Opening the print-cartridge door and removing the print cartridge relieves tension on the printer rollers, which prevents damage to the printer and makes the removal of jammed pages easier.
Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a print job. You are notified of a media jam by an error from the software and the printer control panel lights. See
The following are some of the causes of media jams:
Control-panel lights on page 95.
The input trays are loaded improperly or are too full. See
NOTE When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time, reducing media jams.
The media does not meet HP specifications. See Media specifications on page 16.
Loading media on page 20.
Typical media jam locations
Print cartridge area: See Removing a jammed page on page 38.
Input tray area: If the page is still sticking out of the input tray, gently try to remove it from the input
tray without tearing the page. If you feel resistance, see
on page 38.
Output path: If the page is sticking out of the output bin, see on page 38.
NOTE There might be loose toner in the printer after a media jam. This toner clears up after
a few sheets are printed.

Removing a jammed page
Use the procedures in this section to remove a jam.
CAUTION Media jams might result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your
clothes, wash them in cold water. Hot water will permanently set the toner into the fabric.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the printer when clearing jams, including jams in the output
bin, always open the print cartridge door and remove the print cartridge.
To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light. Cover the print cartridge with a sheet of paper.
1 Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge.
2 Grasp the middle edge of the side of the media that is most visible, and carefully pull it free from
the printer.
CAUTION Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or needle nose pliers, to remove
jams. Damage caused by sharp objects will not be covered by the warranty.
CAUTION Always pull jammed media in the direction it would travel through the paper path.
Do not forcefully pull jammed media against the direction of travel through the paper path to avoid damage to the printer.

Page 54

Formatter system

The formatter coordinates the major systems. It is responsible for the following tasks:
Receiving and processing print data from the printer interface (the computer)
Monitoring the control panel and relaying printer-status information
Coordinating image formation and timing with the print engine
Communicating with the host computer through the bidirectional interface
The formatter receives print data from the universal serial bus (USB) interface and converts it into a dot image. The ECU synchronizes the image-formation system with the paper-feed system and signals the formatter to send the print-image data to the laser system. The formatter sends the print-image data (dots) in the form of a video signal, and the printing process begins.

Central processing unit

The formatter uses an embedded Coldfire V4 microprocessor operating at 133 MHz.
RAM
One bank of nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) stores parameters.
Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) provides temporary storage of the product program code
and print data.
The HP LaserJet 1022 series printers have 8 MB of RAM.

USB interface

The formatter receives incoming data through the USB interface. This interface provides high-speed, two-way communication between the printer and the host, allowing applications on the host computer to change printer settings and monitor printer status. The USB interface is compatible with the USB 2.0 specification.

Control panel

The control panel consists of the following components:
Three status lights (the HP LaserJet 1022nw printer has a fourth W
O
and C
G
ANCEL JOB
buttons
IRELESS
status light).

Draft mode (EconoMode)

Depending on which driver is used, selecting draft or EconoMode from the driver allows the product to use less toner, extending the life of the print cartridge. There is a change in print quality when this setting is used.
NOTE HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time
when the average toner coverage is very low, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts of the print cartridge.
ENWW Formatter system 43
Page 55

HP Memory Enhancement technology (MEt)

HP (MEt) effectively doubles the standard memory through a variety of font- and data-compression methods.

Enhanced I/O

The Enhanced I/O feature uses printer memory to store data that the printer received from the host computer. When Enhanced I/O is enabled, you can send more data to the product in less time, so that you can return to your application sooner. Enhanced I/O has the following options:
Auto: The product uses Enhanced I/O memory allocation to increase the speed of data transfer
from the host computer to the product, if necessary. The default setting is Auto.
Off: The product uses the minimum amount of product memory for storing data that the host
computer sends.
Page protect: The formatter creates the entire page image in page-buffer memory before physically
moving the media through the printer. This process ensures that the entire page is printed.
Page complexity (ruling lines, complex graphics, or dense text) can exceed the printer’s ability to create the page image quickly enough to keep pace with the image-formation process. If the page protect feature is disabled and a page is too complex, the page might print in parts (for example, the top half on one page and the bottom half on the next page). Some print-data loss is likely in these instances, and the A

Page 57

Engine control system (engine control unit and power assembly)

The engine control system coordinates all print engine activities. The engine control system includes both the engine control unit (ECU) PCA and the engine power-assembly-PCA.
NOTE In other HP LaserJet products, the ECU and power functions are combined onto one
PCA known as the controller PCA or the dc controller PCA. In the HP LaserJet 1022 series printers, the control functions are primarily relegated to the ECU PCA and the power functions to the engine-power-assembly PCA.
The ECU controls the following systems and functions:
Printer-engine control
Paper-motion monitoring and control (printing)
Motor
Printer laser/scanner unit
The engine power assembly provides the following features in the power system:
AC power distribution
DC power distribution
Overcurrent/overvoltage protection
High-voltage power distribution
Printer-engine-control system
Paper motion monitoring and control
The ECU controls paper motion in the printer by continuously monitoring the two paper sensors and coordinating the timing with the other print processes.
For a detailed explanation of paper movement and the interaction of the sensors and pickup solenoid with the paper-movement process, see
Motor
The ECU controls the motor. The motor drives all of the paper movement in the printer.

Power system on the engine-power assembly
The engine-power assembly provides the ac, dc, and high-voltage power supply circuits.
AC power distribution
The ac power circuitry supplies ac voltage whenever the power cord is connected to the ac power source and the power switch is on. The ac voltage is distributed to the dc power supply circuitry and to the ac driver circuitry, which controls ac voltage to the fuser-assembly heating element.
DC power distribution
The dc power distribution circuitry, located on the engine power assembly, distributes +3.3 Vdc, +5 Vdc, and +24 Vdc as follows:
+3.3 Vdc ECU, sensors, formatter
+5 Vdc ECU
+24 Vdc Main motor, laser/scanner motor, solenoid, high-voltage power
supply, fuser, safety circuit, door switch
Overcurrent/overvoltage
Two overvoltage devices are in this product:
Fuse F101 provides overcurrent protection for the fusing-system circuitry.
Fuse F102 (110 V products only) provides overcurrent protection to the printer dc power supply
circuitry.
You can check or replace the fuses by removing the left cover. If either of these fuses fails, replace the engine-power assembly.
High-voltage power distribution
The high-voltage power supply applies an overlap of dc and ac voltage to the primary charging roller and to the developing roller. This circuit also applies a positive or negative dc voltage to the transfer roller according to the instructions from the engine control unit.
This circuit also controls the image density by changing the primary ac voltage and the developing ac bias according to the print density setting. See
Setting media types on page 21.
The high-voltage power supply is disabled when the print-cartridge door is open.
To change the print density, open the Printer Properties dialog box, Select the Configure tab. Use the slide bar in the Print Density area of the dialog box to change the print density setting. Click OK to close the Printer Properties dialog box.

Image-formation system

Laser printing requires the interaction of several different technologies, including electronics, optics, and electrophotographic, to provide a printed page. Each process functions independently and must be coordinated with the other printer processes. Image formation consists of seven processes, which are described in the following section.

Figure 4-5 Image-formation block diagram
1 Conditioning stage (primary charging)—This process applies a uniform negative charge to the
surface of the drum with the primary charging roller, which is located in the print cartridge. The primary charging roller is coated with conductive rubber. An ac bias is applied to the roller to erase any residual charges from any previous image. In addition, the primary charging roller applies a negative dc bias to create a uniform negative potential on the drum surface. The print density setting modifies the dc voltage.
2 Writing stage (scanning exposure)—During this process, a modulated laser diode projects the
beam onto a rotating scanning mirror. As the mirror rotates, the beam reflects off the mirror, first through a set of focusing lenses, then off a mirror, and finally through a slot in the top of the print cartridge, and onto the photosensitive drum. The beam sweeps the drum from left to right, discharging the negative potential wherever the beam strikes the surface. This creates a latent electrostatic image, which later is developed into a visible image. Because the beam sweeps the entire length of the drum while the drum rotates, the entire surface area of the drum can be covered. At the end of each sweep, the beam strikes the beam-detect lens, generating the beam-detect signal (BD signal). The BD signal is sent to the ECU where it is converted to an electrical signal used to synchronize the output of the next scan line of data.
3 Developing stage—During this process, the latent electrostatic image is present on the drum. The
toner particles obtain a negative surface charge by rubbing against the developing cylinder, which is connected to a negative dc supply. The negatively charged toner is attracted to the discharged (exposed, grounded) areas of the drum, and it is repelled from the negatively charged (unexposed) areas.
4 Transfer stage—During this process, the toner image on the drum surface is transferred to the
media. The transfer roller applies a positive charge to the back of the media, which attracts the negatively charged toner on the drum surface to the media. After separation, the drum is cleaned and conditioned for the next image.
5 Separation stage—During this process, the media separates from the drum. To stabilize the feed
system and prevent toner dropouts on the printed image at low temperature and humidity, the static eliminator reduces the charge on the back of the media.
50 Chapter 4 Operational overview ENWW
Page 62
6 Fusing stage—During this process, the heat and pressure fuse the toner into the media to produce
a permanent image. The media passes between a heated fusing element and a soft pressure roller, which melt the toner and press it into the media.
7 Drum-cleaning stage—During this process, the cleaning blade is in contact with the surface of the
drum at all times. As the drum rotates during printing, the cleaning blade wipes excess toner off the drum and stores it in the waste toner receptacle.
Print cartridge
As the focal point of the image-formation system, the print cartridge contains toner and houses the cleaning, conditioning, and developing stages of the process. The print cartridge contains the photosensitive drum, primary charging roller, developing station, toner cavity, and cleaning station. By including these components (which wear, degrade, or are consumed) in the replaceable print cartridge, the need for many service calls is eliminated. The special photosensitive properties of the drum form an image on the drum surface and then transfer the image to media.
CAUTION The print cartridge does not include a light-blocking shutter. Do not expose the drum
to light, which can permanently damage the drum. Protect the print cartridge whenever you remove it by covering it with paper.

Printer-paper feed system

The main input tray and the priority feed slot merge into one main input area. The printer senses the media as it enters the paper-feed path and passes the top of page sensor (PS801). It does not sense the presence of media before the beginning the print cycle. The following steps occur when the product receives a print job.
Step 1 The ECU activates the motor (M1). Paper motion begins when the ECU energizes the pickup
solenoid (SL1).
Step 2 The paper pickup roller rotates once. The paper-lift plate pushes the media against the pickup roller.
Step 3 Using friction, the pickup roller grabs the top sheet and advances it to the feed-assembly drive-rollers.
To ensure that only one sheet is fed, a main separation pad holds the remainder of the stack in place.
Step 4 The feed-assembly drive-rollers advance the media to the top-of-page sensor (PS801). This sensor
Step 5 The feed-assembly drive-rollers then advance the media to the transfer area where the toner image
Step 6 After the image is transferred, the media enters the fuser assembly where heat from the fuser and

pressure from the pressure roller permanently bond the toner image to media. The paper-delivery sensor (PS803) determines that the media has successfully moved out of the fusing area.

Jam detection

The top-of-page sensor (PS801) and the paper-delivery sensor (PS803) detect media moving through the printer. If a jam is detected, the ECU immediately stops the printing process and the jam light on the control panel illuminates.
Conditions of jam detection
Pickup-delay jam—Paper does not reach the top-of-page sensor (PS801) within 1.4 seconds after
the pickup solenoid (SL1) has been turned on, a second pickup operation is attempted, and paper again does not reach the top-of-page sensor within 1.4 seconds.
Pickup stationary jam—The top-of-page sensor (PS801) does not detect the trailing edge of media
within 4.6 seconds of detecting the leading edge.
Delivery-delay jam—The paper-delivery sensor (PS803) does not detect the leading edge of media
within 2.1 seconds after the top-of-page sensor (PS801) detects the leading edge.
Wrapping jam—The paper-delivery sensor (PS803) does not detect the trailing edge of the media
within 1.5 seconds after the top-of-page sensor (PS801) detects the leading edge and within ten seconds after the paper-delivery sensor (PS803) detects the leading edge.
Delivery-stationary jam—The paper delivery sensor (PS803) does not detect the leading edge of
media within 2.2 seconds after the top-of-page sensor (PS801) detects the trailing edge.
Residual media jam—The top-of-page sensor (PS801) or the paper-delivery sensor (PS803)
detects media during the initial rotation period.
Door-open jam—The top-of-page sensor (PS801) or the paper-delivery sensor (PS803) detect
media while the print cartridge door is open.
