IPsec/Firewall Provides network-layer security on IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A rewall provides simple
control of IP traic. IPsec provides additional protection through authentication and
encryption protocols.
Kerberos Allows you to exchange private information across an open network by assigning a unique
key, called a ticket, to each user who logs on to the network. The ticket is then embedded in
messages to identify the sender.
SNMP v3 Employs a user-based security model for SNMP v3, which provides user authentication and
data privacy through encryption.
SSL/TLS Allows you to transmit private documents via the Internet and guarantee privacy and data
integrity between the client and server applications.
IPsec batch conguration Provides network-layer security through the simple control of IP traic to and from the
product. This protocol provides the benets of encryption and authentication and allows for
multiple congurations.

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. HP cannot recommend the use of other brands of media because
HP cannot control their quality.
Store paper in the original package to prevent exposing the paper to moisture and other damage. Do not open
the package until you are ready to use the paper.
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 HP has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet HP's specications might cause problems for the
product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP 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.

Select an output bin
The product has four output locations: the top (standard) output bin, the rear output bin, the optional stacker or
stapler/stacker, and the optional 5-bin mailbox.
Print to the top (standard) output bin
The top output bin collects paper face-down, in the correct order. The top output bin should be used for most
print jobs, including transparencies. To use the top output bin, be sure that the rear output bin is closed. To avoid
jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.
Print to the rear output bin
The product always prints to the rear output bin if it is open. Paper that is printed to this bin will exit face-up, with
the last page on top (reverse order).
Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest path. Opening the rear output bin might
improve performance with the following items:
●
Envelopes
●
Labels
●
Small custom-size paper
●
Postcards
●
Paper heavier than 120 g/m2 (32 lb)
Opening the rear output bin makes the duplexer (if installed) and the top output bin unavailable. To avoid jams,
do not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.
ENWW Select an output bin 85
1. To open the rear output bin, grasp the handle at
the top of the bin, and pull the bin down.
2. Slide out the extension.
Print to the optional stacker or stapler/stacker
The optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker can hold up to 500 sheets of paper (20-lb paper). The stacker

Letter, Legal, and A4 sizes can be stapled. Do not try to send other types of print media, such as labels or
envelopes.
NOTE: When a stapler/stacker is installed, the product automatically rotates the printed images 180° on all
paper sizes, regardless of whether the job is stapled. Paper types that must be printed in the correct orientation,
such as letterhead or prepunched paper, need to be loaded in a dierent direction.
To print to the optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker, select the option in the program, in the printer driver,
or at the printer control panel.
Before you use the optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker, ensure that the printer driver is set to recognize
it. You need to set this setting only once.
