2 Remove the toner cartridge from its packaging. (Save packaging for possible cartridge storage.)
Note
To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.
3 Rotate the cartridge and gently shake it from side to side to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
4 Locate the sealing tape tab on the end of the cartridge. Carefully bend the tab back and forth until it separates from the cartridge.

Note
If the tab separates from the tape, grasp the tape and pull it out of the cartridge.

Note
To avoid a paper jam, never open the tray while it is in use.
The paper size setting is set to a default size at the factory. For example, the default for the United States is lettersize, while in Europe it is A4. If you would like to use a different default paper size, reconfigure the paper tray setting.
1Open Tray 2 until it stops.
2Remove the packing spacer and tape.
3If you wish to load paper that is different than the default size, turn the paper guide to the mark that indicates the size of paper you are loading.
4Turn the paper guide to the locked position.
5Adjust the left paper guide by pushing in, then lifting up and out.

6Position the guide over the appropriate lines marked in the tray. Press the guide into the rear slot and then lower down into the front slot. Be sure the guide is not skewed.
7Insert up to 500 sheets of paper into the tray. Do not fill the input tray above the paper fill marks on the guide.
a Load Letter or A4 paper with the top of the page toward the rear of the tray and with the side-to-be- printed down for single-sided printing.
For two-sided printing, load the top of the page toward the rear of the tray and with the first side-to- be-printed up.
b Load short-edge fed media with the top of the page toward the right side of the tray and with the side-to-be-printed down for singlesided printing.
For two-sided printing, load media with the top of the page toward the left side of the tray and with the first side-to-be-printed up.
8Make sure the paper size tab is set correctly.
9Slide the tray back into the printer.
If you wish to select your paper by type rather than tray (source), see your online user guide.
If you wish to print on paper sizes larger than letter or A4, adjust the paper stop guide on the Standard Output Bin (Facedown). (See your online user guide for instructions.)
English
EN |
Load Trays 2 and 3 17 |
Step 8 Load Tray 1 (Optional)
Tray 1 is a multi-purpose tray and holds up to 100 sheets of paper or 10 envelopes.
Tray 1 provides a convenient way to print envelopes, transparencies, custom-size paper, labels, or other types of media without having to unload the other trays.
CAUTION
To avoid a paper jam, never add or remove paper from Tray 1 while the printer is printing.
To avoid damaging the printer, print labels, envelopes, and transparencies from Tray 1 only. Send them to the Faceup Bin, do not print them on both sides, and remove them promptly.
Note
Paper loaded in Tray 1 will be printed first unless the Tray 1 setting is changed from the printer control panel. To change the order in which trays will be printed from, see your online user guide.
1 Open Tray 1.
2 Pull out the tray extension, if needed for the paper size you are printing.
3 Slide the paper width guides to the appropriate size marked on the tray.
4 Place paper into the tray without stacking it above the paperfill mark.
Continued on next page.

5Paper loading differs by size:
a Load Letter or A4 paper with the top of the page toward the rear of the printer and with the side-to-be- printed up for single-sided printing.
For two-sided printing, load paper with the top of the page toward the rear of the printer and with the first side-to-be-printed down.
b Load short-edge fed media with the top of the page toward the printer and with the side-to-be- printed up for single-sided printing.
For two-sided printing, load media with the top of the page away from the printer and with the first side- to-be-printed down.
Note
Paper heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m2) should be printed from Tray 1 to the Face-up Bin to avoid curl.

Step 13 Connect Printer Cables
For printers equipped with an optional HP JetDirect EIO Print Server, a twisted-pair network cable connection is provided through a 10/ 100Base-TX (RJ-45) connector. Connection to an Apple LocalTalk network is available through an optional LocalTalk card. The printer also has a port for HP Fast InfraRed Connect.

Connecting Parallel Cable
To ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284 bi-directional C-type parallel cable. (These cables are clearly marked with “IEEE-1284.”) Only IEEE-1284 cables support all of the printer’s advanced features.
1 Make sure the printer and your computer are turned off.
Note
The cable should install easily. If installation is difficult, check the cable orientation.
2 Connect the parallel cable to the printer parallel port. Press the locking release levers in while connecting the cable.
3 Connect the other end of the cable to the proper connector on the computer.
Note
See your online user guide for information on ordering IEEE-1284 parallel cables.

Connecting to Ethernet 10/100Base-TX
Network
Use the RJ-45 port to connect the printer to an Ethernet 10/100BaseTX network.
CAUTION Make sure the printer power is turned off before connecting to the RJ-45 port.
Ethernet 10/100Base-TX Network Interface Cable Connection
●Connect a twisted-pair network cable to the RJ-45 port on the HP JetDirect EIO Print Server.
●Connect the other end of the cable to the network.

Connect Printer Cables 27 |
Step 14 Install Printing Software
|
The printer comes with printing software on a CD-ROM. The printer |
|
drivers on this CD-ROM must be installed to take full advantage of the |
|
printer features. If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, but |
|
you have access to one, you can copy the printing software from the |
|
CD-ROM onto diskettes for installation on your computer. |
|
If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, go to www.hp.com and |
|
download the drivers, or call HP to order diskettes. The most recent |
|
drivers are available on the Internet. Depending on the configuration |
|
of Windows-driven computers, the installation program for the printer |
|
software automatically checks the computer for Internet access to |
|
obtain the latest software. |
|
|
Note |
Printer installation software for UNIX (HP-UX, Sun Solaris) networks is |
|
available for download at http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing. |
|
For configuration and management using your web browser, use |
|
HP Web JetAdmin. For information on HP Web JetAdmin, go to |
|
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin. |
