Replace the toner cartridge

Introduction

The following information provides details about the toner cartridge for the printer, and it includes instructions to replace it.

Toner-cartridge information

Remove and replace the cartridge
Toner-cartridge information
This printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is low and very low. The actual toner cartridge life remaining can vary. Consider having a replacement cartridge available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print quality. To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back and forth about its horizontal axis. For graphical representation, see cartridge replacement instructions. Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer and close the cover.
To purchase cartridges or check cartridge compatibility for the printer, go to HP SureSupply at www.hp.com/go/
suresupply. Scroll to the bottom of the page and verify that the country/region is correct.

A “Cartridge is low” or “Cartridge is very low” message displays on the printer control panel

Cartridge is low: The printer indicates when a toner cartridge level is low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now.
Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print quality. To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back and forth about its horizontal axis. For graphical representation, see cartridge replacement instructions. Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer and close the cover.
Cartridge is very low: The printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is very low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended.

Change the “Very Low” settings

You can change the way the printer reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to re­establish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and select Supplies.
2. Open the following menus:
Manage Supplies
Supply Settings
Black Cartridge or Color Cartridges
Very Low Settings
3. Select one of the following options:
Select the Stop option to set the printer to stop printing when the cartridge reaches the Very Low threshold.
Select the Prompt to continue option to set the printer to stop printing when the cartridge reaches the Very Low threshold. You can acknowledge the prompt or replace the cartridge to resume printing.
Select the Continue option to set the printer to alert you that the cartridge is very low, and to continue printing beyond the Very Low setting without interaction. This can result in unsatisfactory print quality.
For products with fax capability
When the printer is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when the prrinter resumes printing. This can occur if the printer has received more faxes than the memory can hold while the printer is waiting.
The printer can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the Continue option for the toner cartridge, but print quality might degrade.

Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds

Introduction

The following solutions can help solve problems if the printer is not picking up paper from the tray or is picking up multiple sheets of paper at one time. Either of these situations can result in paper jams.

The printer does not pick up paper

The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper
The printer does not pick up paper
If the printer does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.
1. Open the printer and remove any jammed sheets of paper. Verify that no torn remnants of paper remain
inside the printer.
2. Load the tray with the correct size of paper for the job.
3. Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.
82 Chapter 6 Solve problems ENWW
4. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the
appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the marking on the tray.
NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or
markings in the tray.
The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these.
Figure 6-1 Size markings for Tray 1 or the multipurpose tray
Figure 6-2 Size markings for cassette trays
ENWW Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds 83
5. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specications for this printer and that paper is being stored in
1
2
unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and ex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.
Figure 6-3 Technique for exing the paper stack
6. Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper,
and continue.
7. The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with
warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.
CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth
in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.
The following image shows examples of the roller location for various printers.
Figure 6-4 Roller locations for Tray 1 or the multipurpose tray

The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper

If the printer picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.
1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray and ex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and ip it over. Do not fan the
paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.
84 Chapter 6 Solve problems ENWW
NOTE: Fanning the paper introduces static electricity. Instead of fanning the paper, ex the stack by

holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.
Figure 6-5 Technique for exing the paper stack
2. Use only paper that meets HP specications for this printer.
3. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specications for this printer, and that paper is being stored in
unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and ex the stack as described above.
4. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a dierent package.
ENWW Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds 85
5. Make sure the tray is not overlled by checking the stack-height markings inside the tray. If it is overlled,
remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray.
The following images show examples of the stack-height markings in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these. Also make sure that all sheets of paper are below the tabs near the stack-height marks. These tabs help hold the paper in the correct position as it enters the printer.
