Table 1-6 Minimum system requirements

Windows macOS

● Internet connection

● Dedicated USB 1.1 or 2.0 connection or a network connection

● 2 GB of available hard-disk space

● 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

NOTE: The Windows software installer installs the HP Smart Device Agent Base service. The le size is

approximately 100 kb. Its only function is to check for printers connected via USB hourly. No data is collected. If a USB printer is found, it then tries to locate a JetAdvantage Management Connector (JAMc) instance on the network. If a JAMc is found, the HP Smart Device Agent Base is securely upgraded to a full Smart Device Agent from JAMc, which will then allow printed pages to be accounted for in a Managed Print Services (MPS) account. The driver-only web packs downloaded from hp.com for the printer and installed through the Add Printer wizard do not install this service.

To uninstall the service, open the Control Panel, select Programs or Programs and Features, and then select Add/Remove Programs or Uninstall a Program to remove the service. The le name is HPSmartDeviceAgentBase.

HP Maintenance/Long Life Consumables (LLC) life specications are estimations based on the LLC life test conditions listed below. Actual individual life/yield during normal use varies depending on usage, environment, paper and other factors. Estimated life is not an implied guarantee or warrantable.

Not applicable J8030A

Part number Estimated life

The LLC life test conditions

● Print coverage: 5% evenly distributed across the page

● Environment: 17° to 25°C (62.6° to 77°F); 30%-70% relative humidity (RH)

● Media size: Letter/A4

● Media weight: 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain media

● Job size: 4 pages

● Short edge feed (A3) (i.e., Legal size media)

Factors that can reduce life from the conditions above:

● Media narrower than Letter/A4 widths (thermal slow downs equal more rotations)

● Paper heavier than 75 g/m2 (20 lb) (heavier media creates higher stress on printer components)

● Print jobs smaller than 4 image (smaller jobs mean more thermal cycling and more rotations)

Enable or disable the Cartridge Protection feature

Introduction

Use HP Cartridge Policy and Cartridge Protection to control which cartridges are installed in the printer and protect the cartridges that are installed from theft. These features are available with HP FutureSmart versions 3 and later.

● Cartridge Policy: This feature protects the printer from counterfeit toner cartridges by allowing only

genuine HP cartridges to be used with the printer. Using genuine HP cartridges ensures the best possible print quality. When someone installs a cartridge that is not a genuine HP cartridge, the printer control panel displays a message that the cartridge is unauthorized and it provides information explaining how to proceed.

● Cartridge Protection: This feature permanently associates toner cartridges with a specic printer, or eet of

printers, so they cannot be used in other printers. Protecting cartridges protects your investment. When this feature is enabled, if someone attempts to transfer a protected cartridge from the original printer into an unauthorized printer, that printer will not print with the protected cartridge. The printer control panel displays a message that the cartridge is protected, and it provides information explaining how to proceed.

CAUTION: After enabling cartridge protection for the printer, all subsequent toner cartridges installed in

the printer are automatically and permanently protected. To avoid protecting a new cartridge, disable the feature before installing the new cartridge.

Turning the feature o does not turn o protection for cartridges that are currently installed.

Both features are o by default. Follow these procedures to enable or disable them.

Replace the toner cartridge

This printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is low. The actual toner cartridge life remaining can vary. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced at this time. 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.

Print with EconoMode

This printer has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less toner. However, using EconoMode can also reduce print quality.

HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.

NOTE: If this option is not available in the print driver, set it using the printer control panel.

Congure EconoMode from the print driver

1. From the software program, select the Print option.

2. Select the printer, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.

3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.

4. Click the EconoMode check box to enable the feature, and then click OK.

1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, navigate to the Settings application, and then select

the Settings icon.

2. Open the following menus:

a. Copy/Print or Print

b. Default Print Options

c. Economode

3. Select On or O to enable or disable the feature.

Set the sleep timer and congure the printer to use 1 watt or less of power
