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.
The printer uses four colors and has a dierent toner cartridge for each color: yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K). The toner cartridges are inside the front door.
NOTE: High-yield toner cartridges contain more toner than standard cartridges for increased page yield. For
more information, go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until it is time to replace it.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.
Cover the green imaging drum if the toner cartridge must be removed from the printer for an extended period of time.

NOTE: To set up the Scan to Network Folder feature, the printer must have an active network connection.
Administrators need the following items before beginning the conguration process.
Administrative access to the printer
The fully-qualied domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \\servername.us.companyname.net\scans) of the
destination folder OR the IP address of the server (e.g., \\16.88.20.20\scans).
NOTE: The use of the term "server" in this context refers to the computer where the shared folder resides.
Step one: Access the HP Embedded Web Server
1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, touch the Information icon, and then touch the
Network icon to display the IP address or host name.
2. Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it displays on the
printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS opens.
NOTE: If the web browser displays a message indicating that accessing the website might not be safe,
select the option to continue to the website. Accessing this website will not harm the computer.

Step two: Set up Scan to Network Folder

Method one: Use the Scan to Network Folder Wizard
This option opens the setup wizard that is in the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer. The setup wizard includes the options for basic conguration.
NOTE: Before you begin: To display the printer's IP address or host name, touch the Information icon, and
then touch the Network icon on the printer's control panel.
1. Using the EWS top navigation tabs, click Scan/Digital Send tab. The Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick
Setup Wizards dialog opens.
2. In the left-navigation pane, click Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick Setup Wizards.
3. Click the Save to Network Folder Quick Set Wizard link.
4. On the Add or Remove a Save to Network Folder Quick Set dialog, click Add.
NOTE: Quick Sets are short-cut jobs that can be accessed on the printer Home screen or within the Quick
Sets application.
NOTE: The Save to Network Folder feature can be minimally congured without creating a quick set.
However, without the quick set, users must enter the destination folder information at the control panel for each scan job. A quick set is required to include Save to Network Folder metadata.
5. On the Add Folder Quick Set dialog, complete the following information:
a. In the Quick Set Title eld, type a title.
82 Chapter 6 Scan ENWW
NOTE: Name the Quick Set something that users can understand quickly (e.g., "Scan and save to a
folder").
b. In the Quick Set Description eld, type a description explaining what the Quick Set will save.
c. Click Next.
6. On the Congure Destination Folder dialog, complete the following information:

NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP,
the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the printer does not need to use DNS to nd the destination server.
b. From the Authentication Settings drop-down, select one of the following options:
Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel
Always use these credentials
NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered

(c04431534).
1. If it is not already selected, select Save to a standard shared network folder.
2. In the UNC Folder Path eld, type a folder path.
The folder path can either be the fully-qualied domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \ \servername.us.companyname.net\scans) or the IP address of the server (e.g., \ \16.88.20.20\scans). Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP address.
NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via
DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the printer does not need to use DNS to nd the destination server.
3. To automatically create a subfolder for scanned documents in the destination folder, select a format for the subfolder name from the Custom Subfolder list.
To restrict the subfolder access to the user who creates the scan job, select Restrict subfolder access to user.
4. To view the complete folder path for scanned documents, click Update Preview.
5. From the Authentication Settings list, select one of the following options:

(default is “Workgroup”), a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding elds. However, if the folder is within a particular user’s folders and not Public, the user name and password of that user must be used.
NOTE: An IP address might be necessary instead of a computer name. Many home routers do
not handle computer names well, and there is no Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case, it is best to set up a static IP address on the shared PC to alleviate the problem of DHCP assigning a new IP address. On a typical home router, this is done by setting a static IP address that is on the same subnet, but outside the DHCP address range.
7. Click OK.
Option two: Save to an FTP Server
NOTE: If an FTP site is outside the rewall, a proxy server must be specied under the network
