ENWWLoading the original33
Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or the document feeder to load an original for copying and scanning.
NOTE: Illustrations on this user’s guide may dier from your machine depending on its options or models.
Check your machine type.
On the scanner glass
Using the scanner glass, you can copy or scan originals. You can get the best scan quality, especially for colored
or gray-scaled images. Make sure that no originals are in the document feeder. If an original is detected in the
document feeder, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass.
1.Lift and open the scanner lid.
34Chapter 3 Media and TrayENWW
2.Place the original face down on the scanner glass.
Align it with the registration guide at the top left
corner of the glass.
3.Close the scanner lid.
NOTE:
●Leaving the scanner lid open while copying
may aect copy quality and toner
consumption.
●Dust on the scanner glass may cause black
spots on the printout. Always keep it clean.
●If you are copying a page from a book or
magazine, lift the scanner lid until its hinges
are caught by the stopper and then close the
lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30
mm, start copying with the scanner lid open.
CAUTION:
●Be careful not to break the scanner glass. You
may get hurt.
●Do not look into the light from inside of the
scanner while copying or scanning. It is
harmful to eyes.
ENWWLoading the original35
In the document feeder
Using the automatic document feeder (ADF), you can load up to 100 sheets of paper (80 g/m2, 21 lbs bond) for
one job.
1.Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate
the pages before loading originals.
2.Load the original face up into the document feeder
input tray. Make sure that the bottom of the
original stack matches the paper size marked on
the document input tray.
3.Adjust the document feeder width guides to the
paper size.
NOTE: Dust on the document feeder glass may cause black lines on the printout. Always keep the glass clean.

Storing the consumables
Consumables contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. HP suggests users
follow these recommendations to ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new
HP consumables.
Store the consumables in the same environment in which the printer will be used. This should be in controlled
temperature and humidity conditions. The consumables should remain in their original and unopened package
until installation.
If the consumables are removed from the printer, follow the instructions below to store the imaging unit
properly.
●Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
●Store lying at (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it were installed in the machine.
●Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
–Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
–Humidity range less than 20% or greater than 80%.
–An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
–Direct sunlight or room light.
–Dusty places.
–A car for a long period of time.
–An environment where corrosive gases are present.
–An environment with salty air.
Imaging unit handling instructions
●Opening the imaging unit package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf and operating life. Do
not store on the oor.
●If original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the imaging unit with paper and store in a
dark cabinet.
●Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the imaging unit.
●Do not expose the imaging unit to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
●Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can cause internal damage and
toner spillage.
Toner cartridge usage
HP 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 relled toner cartridge does not aect
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 relled toner cartridge, HP will charge its
standard time and materials charges to service the product for the particular failure or damage.
74Chapter 9 MaintenanceENWW
Estimated toner cartridge life
Print cartridge life is approximate, based on average A4 /Letter-size page count with ISO coverage. Declared
cartridge yield value in accordance with ISO/IEC 19798. Actual yields vary considerably based on images printed
and other factors. For more information, go to http://www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
●White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density varies from side to side.
●The Status LED blinks red. The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on the
display.
●The computer’s Printing Status program window appears on the computer telling you which cartridge is low
on toner.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In
some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
NOTE: Illustrations on this user’s guide may dier from your machine depending on its options or models.
Check your machine type.
CAUTION: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it o with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water
sets toner into fabric.

88Chapter 9 MaintenanceENWW
Cleaning the machine
If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your
machine regularly to keep it in the best printing condition and use your machine longer.
CAUTION:
●Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents,
or other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.
●If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use a cloth or
tissue dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be
harmful to you.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to
let any water drip onto or into the machine.
Cleaning the inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can
cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and
reduces these problems.
CAUTION:
●To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it
with a piece of paper, if necessary.
●Do not touch the green area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this
area.
●Use a dry lint free cloth when cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage the transfer
roller or any other inside parts. Do not use solvents such as benzene or thinner. Printing quality problems
can occur and cause damage to the machine.
NOTE:
●Use a dry lint-free cloth to clean the machine.
●Turn the machine o and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to cool down.
