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 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 HP has no control.

CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet HP's specifications 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.

Load and print labels

Introduction

To print on sheets of labels, use Tray 2 or one of the optional 550-sheet trays. Tray 1 does not support labels.

To print labels using the manual feed option, follow these steps to select the correct settings in the print driver, and then load the labels into the tray after sending the print job to the printer. When using manual feed, the printer waits to print the job until it detects the tray has been opened and closed.

Manually feed labels

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

2. Select the printer from the list of printers, and then click or tap the Properties or Preferences button to

open the print driver.

NOTE: The name of the button varies for different software programs.

NOTE: To access these features from a Windows 8 or 8.1 Start screen, select Devices, select Print,

and then select the printer.

3. Click or tap the Paper/Quality tab.

ENWW Load paper trays 23

4. In the Paper size drop-down list, select the correct size for the sheets of labels.

5. In the Paper type drop-down list, select Labels.

6. In the Paper source drop-down list, select Manual feed.

NOTE: When using manual feed, the printer prints from the lowest-numbered tray that is configured

for the correct size of paper, so it is not necessary to specify a particular tray. For example, if Tray 2 is configured for labels, the printer will print from Tray 2. If Tray 3 is installed and configured for labels, but Tray 2 is not configured for labels, the printer will print from Tray 3.

7. Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box.

8. In the Print dialog box, click the OK button to print the job.

9. Load sheets of labels face-up with the top of the sheet toward the right side of the printer.

Configure trays

The product automatically prompts you to configure a tray for type and size in the following situations:

●

When you load paper into the tray

●

When you specify a particular tray or media type for a print job through the printer driver or a software program and the tray is not configured to match the print-job’s settings

NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1, and it is configured for the Any Size and

Any Type settings. In this situation, if the print job does not specify a tray, the product prints from Tray 1,

even if the paper size and type settings in the print job do not match the paper loaded in Tray 1.

Configure a tray when loading paper

1. Load paper in the tray. Close the tray if you are using Tray 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Automatic paper sensing (auto-sense mode)

The automatic media type sensor functions when that tray is configured to the Any Type or plain type setting. It also functions when the Print Mode setting for that tray is set to the Auto Sense Mode option.

After it has picked up paper from the tray, the product can detect overhead transparencies, paper weight, and gloss level.

For more control, a specific type must be selected in the job or configured in a tray.

paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and transparencies. The product assumes the rest of the pages are of the same type.

Select the paper by source, type, or size

In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull media when you send a print job. Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print, Preferences, or Print Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. Unless you change these settings, the product automatically selects a tray using the default settings.

Source

To print by source, select a specific tray in the printer driver for the product to pull from. If you select a tray that is configured for a type or size that does not match your print job, the product prompts you to load the tray with the type or size of paper for your print job before printing it. When you load the tray, the product begins printing.

Type and Size

●

Printing by type or size causes the product to pull from the tray that is loaded with the correct type and size of paper.

Selecting paper by type rather than source helps protect special paper from accidental use.

Using the wrong setting might result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special print media, such as labels or transparencies.

Print by type or size for envelopes, if possible.

ENWW Configure trays 29

●

To print by type or size, select the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog box, the Preferences dialog box, or the Print Properties dialog box, depending on the software program.

●

If you often print on a certain type or size of paper, configure a tray for that type or size. Then, when you select that type or size as you print a job, the product automatically pulls paper from the tray that is configured for that type or size.

Adjust color

Manage color by changing the settings on the Color tab (Windows) or the Color Options or Color/Quality Options menu (Mac) in the printer driver.

Automatic

Setting color options to the default or Automatic setting typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents. The default or Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge enhancements for each element in a document. For more information, see the printer driver online Help.

Print in Grayscale

Select the Print in Grayscale option (Windows) or the Print Color as Gray option (Mac) from the printer driver to print a color document in black and white. This option is useful for printing color documents that will be photocopied or faxed. The product uses the monochrome mode, which reduces use of the color cartridges.

Table 5-1 Manual color options

Setting description Setting options

Halftone

Halftone options affect the color output resolution and

clarity.

Neutral Grays

The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs.

Edge Control

The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of colorplane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly.

●

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 the top priority.

●

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 details are the top priority.

●

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.

●

Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on.

●

Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.

●

Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on.

●

Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.

Use the HP EasyColor option

If you are using the HP PCL 6 printer driver for Windows, the HP EasyColor technology automatically improves mixed-content documents that are printed from Microsoft Office programs. This technology scans documents and automatically adjusts photographic images in .JPEG or .PNG format. HP EasyColor technology enhances the entire image at one time, rather than dividing it into several pieces, which results in improved color consistency, sharper details, and faster printing.

If you are using the HP Postscript printer driver for Mac, HP EasyColor technology scans all documents and automatically adjusts all photographic images with the same improved photographic results.

In the following example, the images on the left were created without using the HP EasyColor option. The images on the right show the enhancements that result from using the HP EasyColor option.

The HP EasyColor option is enabled by default in both the HP PCL 6 printer driver and the HP Mac Postscript printer driver, so you do not need to make manual color adjustments. To disable the option so you can manually adjust the color settings, open the Color tab in the Windows driver or the Color/Quality Options tab in the Mac driver, and then click the HP EasyColor check box to clear it.

Match colors

The process of matching product output color to a computer screen is quite complex because printers and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by light pixels using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) process.

Several factors can influence the ability to match printed colors to those on a monitor. These factors include:

●

Paper

●

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

●

Print drivers

●

Computer operating system

●

Monitors and monitor settings

●

Video cards and drivers

●

Operating environment (humidity for example)

For most situations, the best method for matching colors on the screen to the printed page is to print sRGB colors.

Sample book color matching

The process for matching product output to preprinted sample books and standard color references is complex. In general, you can obtain a reasonably good match to a sample book if the inks used to create the sample book are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are usually referred to as process color sample books.

Some sample books are created from spot colors. Spot colors are specially created colorants. Many of these spot colors are outside of the range of the product. Most spot color sample books have companion process sample books that provide CMYK approximations to the spot color.

Most process sample books will state which process standards were used to print the sample book. In most cases they will be SWOP, EURO, or DIC. To get optimal color matching to the process sample book, select the corresponding ink emulation from the product menu. If you cannot identify the process standard, use SWOP ink emulation.

Print color samples

To use the color samples, select the color sample that is the closest match to the desired color. Use the sample’s color value in the software program to describe the object you wish to match. Printed colors vary depending on the paper type and the software program.

Use the following procedure to print color samples at the product using the control panel:

78 Chapter 5 Color ENWW

2. Open the following menus:

●

Reports

3. Select either the RGB Samples or the CMYK Samples option, and touch the OK button.

PANTONE® color matching

PANTONE has multiple color matching systems. PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® is very popular and uses solid inks to generate a wide range of color hues and tints.

NOTE: PANTONE Colors generated might not match PANTONE-identified standards. Consult current

PANTONE Publications for accurate color.

Supplies messages

●

<Color> <Supply> Low—where <Color> is the color of the supply, and <Supply> is the type of supply. The product indicates when a supply level is low. The actual print cartridge life remaining can vary, but the supply does not need to be replaced now. Consider having a replacement cartridge available to install when the print quality is no longer acceptable. This alert appears only when <Color> <Supply> Very Low is set to Stop.

●

<Color> <Supply> Very Low. The product indicates when a supply level is very low. The actual print cartridge life remaining can vary. Consider having a replacement cartridge available to install when the print quality is no longer acceptable. Once an HP supply has reached very low, the HP Premium Protection Warranty on that cartridge has ended.

Print-quality problems can occur when using a supply that is at its estimated end of life. The print cartridge does not need to be replaced at this point in time unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.

Enable or disable the Very Low Settings options from the control panel

You can enable or disable the default settings at any time, and you do not have to re-enable them when you install a new cartridge.

1. At the product control panel, press the Home button

2. Open the following menus:

●

Administration

●

Manage Supplies

●

Supply Settings

●

Black Cartridge or Color Cartridges

●

Very Low Settings

3. Select one of the following options:

●

Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the cartridge is very low, but to continue printing.

NOTE: Using the Continue option allows printing beyond Very Low without customer interaction

and can result in unsatisfactory print quality.

●

Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) until you replace the cartridge.

●

Select the Prompt to continue option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) and prompt you to replace the cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and continue printing.

If you select the Stop or Prompt to continue option, the product stops printing when it reaches the Very Low threshold. When you replace the cartridge, the product automatically resumes printing.

Once an HP supply has reached Very Low, the HP Premium Protection Warranty on that supply has ended.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

HP policy on non-HP supplies

HP Company 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 refilled toner cartridge does not

affect 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 refilled toner cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the product for the particular failure or damage.

HP anticounterfeit Web site

Go to www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit when you install an HP toner cartridge and the control-panel message says the cartridge is non-HP. HP will help determine if the cartridge is genuine and take steps to resolve the problem.

Your toner cartridge might not be a genuine HP toner cartridge if you notice the following:

●

The supplies status page indicates that a non-HP supply is installed.

●

You are experiencing a high number of problems with the cartridge.

●

The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the packaging differs from HP packaging).
