electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones. These objects can disrupt
radio signals.
Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures. These

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.

Table 7-1 Manual color options
Setting descriptionSetting options
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines the rendering
of edges. 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.
Halftone
Halftone options affect color output clarity and
resolution.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method
for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and
photographs.
Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
●
Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on.
●
Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is
●
on.
Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive
●
halftoning is on.
Smooth provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas
●
and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select
this option when uniform and smooth area fills are important.
Detail is useful for text and graphics that require sharp
●
distinctions among lines or colors, or images that contain a
pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option when sharp
edges and small details are important.
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.

Match colors
For most users, the best method for matching colors is to print sRGB colors.
The process of matching printer output color to your computer screen is complex, because printers and
computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by using light
pixels that use an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors by using a CMYK
(cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) process.
Several factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your monitor:
Print media
●
Printer colorants (inks or toners, for example)
●
Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology, for example)
●
Overhead lighting
●
Personal differences in perception of color
●
Software programs
●
Printer drivers
●
Computer operating systems
●
Monitors
●
Video cards and drivers
●
Operating environment (humidity, for example)
●
Keep these factors in mind when colors on your screen do not perfectly match your printed colors.

Use the HP Embedded Web Server (network models
only)
This product is equipped with an embedded Web server (EWS), which provides access to information
about product and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web programs
may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment
for programs to run on a computer. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, or Netscape Navigator.
An “embedded” Web server resides on a hardware device (such as an HP LaserJet product) or in
firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an EWS is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone with a networkconnected product and computer can use. There is no special software to install or configure, but you
must have a supported Web browser on the computer. To gain access to the EWS, type the IP address
for the product in the address line of the browser. To find the IP address, print a configuration page.
NOTE: For Mac operating systems, you can use the EWS over a USB connection after installing the
Mac software included with the product.
Open the HP Embedded Web Server
To open the HP Embedded Web Server, type the IP address or host name of the product in the address
field of a supported Web browser. To find the IP address, print a configuration page. Select Print
configuration page on the Services tab in the Printer Preferences.
TIP: After you open the URL, bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future.
