Print Cartridges
The HP OfficeJet uses one high–capacity black print cartridge, HP part number 51626A.
When printing text only on letter-size media, ink lasts, on average, about 1000 pages. Text used was CCITT test image
number 1, the Slerexe Company letter. If text of greater density is printed or quality mode is used, results may vary
considerably. Ink cartridge longevity is also affected by larger paper sizes containing more printed matter or photos or
illustrations. If the ink lasts much less than 1000 pages, ensure that you have removed both pieces of tape from the
print cartridge before beginning to use it, and that the conductive part of the cartridge surface is clean.
Software Programs
Several software programs and drivers are provided. The Eclipse FAX SE and HP OfficeJet LX Manager programs are
only provided and used with the LX version. The Windows and DOS drivers are provided with all models.
DEclipse FAX SE allows the user to send high-quality faxes directly from the PC, receive faxes to the PC,
and scan images into PC-based files.
DHP OfficeJet LX Manager lets the user setup the HP OfficeJet LX from the PC, using Windows-based
menus, rather than the device’s front panel. The Manager also serves as a status monitor, displaying
information and error messages and also tells the user whether or not the HP OfficeJet LX is properly
connected.
DWindows and DOS printer drivers, printer fonts and a scanner driver are provided.
Media
An HP OfficeJet works with ordinary bond and photocopy papers. Paper properties are subject to change by paper
manufacturers, and Hewlett-Packard has no control over such changes. For optimum print quality, test paper (printing
on both sides) for suitability, before you purchase large quantities.
Use plain bond or white photocopy paper of high quality. It should be free of:
DCarbon
DCuts or tears
DGrease spots
DLoose particles
DDust
DWrinkles
DCurled, bent or frayed edges
Colored bond and photocopy paper (such as pink, yellow, or blue) can be used, as long as it meets these specifications:
DPaper SizeU.S. letter (8 1/2 in x 11 in), (216 x 279 mm)
U.S. legal (8 1/2 in x 14 in), (215 x 356 mm)

DHandle all paper by the edges only
DLoad all paper types the same way
DUse only one paper type in the printer’s paper tray at a time
DAlways load paper print side up in the media tray
Plain paper has a print side which is not visible to the naked eye, so before removing paper from its package for use in
the printer, check the outside package label. Always load the paper into the machine with the print side facing down.
The print side will be indicated by an arrow or other symbol on the label.
Avoid the following types of media:
DPaper greater than 135 g/m

Using Printer Driver Software
Detailed information on each of the software installations and their usage is provided in the HP OfficeJet (LX) User’s
Guide. Also, the applications guides provided with each driver will provide specific information for the installation
and use of the software package.
Refer to the options listed below to determine which printer driver you need to install to make your computer and
software work with the HP OfficeJet. Printer drivers (also called printer software) are software files that control your
printer and allow your software application to access the printer’s features.
Using Microsoft) Windows 3.1
Install the HP OfficeJet Printer Software for Microsoft Windows 3.1 provided with your HP OfficeJet. See the
documentation that came with the printer software for installation instructions.
Installation and Configuration
2-2
Using OS/2
The HP OfficeJet is compatible with the HP DeskJet printers. Therefore, look for the HP DeskJet 520 or DeskJet 510
printer model selection in OS/2. If it is not available, contact your IBM representative for information. If the HP
DeskJet 520 or DeskJet 510 printer is listed, install it with the instructions provided by IBM.
Using DOS software applications
For each DOS software application you use, you must install a specific printer driver. Your DOS software application
supplies printer drivers for many printer models. A printer driver that supports your printer features may already be in
your software application. Additional information is provided in this section, see Setting Up for Printing.
Hardware and Software Requirements
The following are the minimum computer system requirements:
DParallel port must support bidirectional communication.
D4 Megabytes (MB) of Random Access Memory (RAM). 8 MB RAM recommended.
D5 MB hard disk space.
DWindows 3.1 operating system.
Note: To add the HP OfficeJet LX Manager to your Windows StartUp group, so that the HP OfficeJet
LX Manager will run automatically whenever you start Windows, make sure that your PC has enough
memory to run the HP OfficeJet LX Manager simultaneously with all the other applications you plan to
run. Then, open the HP OfficeJet LX Manager and StartUp groups, press the Ctrl key, and click and
drag the HP OfficeJet LX Manager icon into the StartUp group.
Installing the HP OfficeJet LX Software
The information provided here will help you with the installation of the HP OfficeJet LX Software including the HP
OfficeJet LX Manager and Eclipse FAX SE software applications. Additionally, other PC Fax programs usable with
the HP OfficeJet LX are described. Detailed information on custom installation and usage is provided in the HP
OfficeJet LX User’s Guide.

functions of your new product.

product revision information.
Click the Exit button when you are ready to leave the setup program.
If difficulties arise with the installation, review the following recommendations:

Recommended Action
Use the setup program to uninstall the HP OfficeJet LX software. Then try
installing again.
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
The HP OfficeJet LX software requires several files to reside in the drive that
contains your Windows application. If that drive is full, the setup program can-
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
not install the HP OfficeJet LX software. Free as much space on the drive as
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
you can by either deleting unneeded files or moving files to a different drive or
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
onto diskettes. Then try installing again.
If you have followed the troubleshooting directions on the screen, the most
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
likely problem is that you need a different centronics cable. (About 10% of
centronics cables cannot support bidirectional communications.)
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
There is also a chance that your PC’s centronics port is either not set up for or
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
cannot support bidirectional communications.
Make sure that the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is not running. Exit from Win-
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
dows and then try again. Make sure that (1) the device is properly cabled to
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
your PC, (2) the device is turned on, and (3) the front panel says “Ready.”
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
Either the directory contains files that do not belong to the HP OfficeJet LX, or
ББББББББББББББББББББББ
one or more files are open. Correct the problem and try again.

to view, print, and delete it.
DForward a fax you’ve received to another recipient.
