Embedded Web server
Network models are equipped with an embedded Web server, which provides access to information
about device and network activities. This information appears in a Web browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Apple Safari, or Firefox.
The embedded Web server resides on the device. It is not loaded on a network server.
The embedded Web server provides an interface to the device that anyone who has a networkconnected computer and a standard Web browser can use. No special software is installed or
configured, but you must have a supported Web browser on your computer. To gain access to the

Understand paper and print media 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. Hewlett-Packard 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 Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard
warranty or service agreements.

dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat. Using inkjet paper could damage the
product.

Auto-Off mode
Auto-Off is an energy-saving feature of this product. After a user-specified time period, the product
automatically reduces its power consumption (Auto-Off). The product returns to the ready state when a
button is pressed or a print job is received. When the product is in Auto-Off mode, all of the controlpanel LEDs and the power button backlight LED are off.
NOTE: Although the product lights are off in Auto-Off mode, the product will work normally when it
receives a print job.
Change the Auto-Off delay time
You can change how long the product remains idle (Auto-Off delay) before it enters Auto-Off mode.
NOTE: The default Auto-Off delay setting is 5 minutes.
1. Open the printer properties, and then click the Device Settings tab.
2. Select the Auto-Off delay from the Auto-Off drop-down list.
NOTE: The changed setting does not go into effect until a print job is sent to product.
Print with EconoMode
This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less
toner and decrease the cost per page. 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 print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under
these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in
the cartridge.

the problem, you can stop without performing the other steps on the checklist.
Troubleshooting checklist
1. Make sure that the product is set up correctly.
a. Press the power button to turn on the product or to deactivate the Auto-Off mode.
b. Check the power-cable connections.
c. Make sure that the line voltage is correct for the product power configuration. (See the label
that is on the back of the product for voltage requirements.) If you are using a power strip
and its voltage is not within specifications, plug the product directly into the wall. If it is
already plugged into the wall, try a different outlet.
d. Make sure that the print cartridge is installed correctly.
e. If none of these measures restores power, contact HP Customer Care.
2. Check the cabling or wireless connection (wireless models only).
a. Check the cable connection between the product and the computer. Make sure that the
connection is secure.
b. Make sure that the cable itself is not faulty by using a different cable, if possible.
c. For a wireless connection, look at the control panel wireless light.
If the light is on, the product has a connection with a network.

Solve repeated jams
Verify that the input tray is not overfilled. The input tray capacity varies depending on the type of
●
print media that you are using.
Verify that the media guides are properly adjusted.
●
Check that the input tray is securely in place.
●
Do not add print media into the input tray while the product is printing.
●
Use only HP-recommended media types and sizes.
●
Do not fan media prior to loading it in a tray. To loosen the ream, hold it firmly in both hands and
●
twist the media by rotating your hands in the opposite direction.
Do not let print media stack up in the output bin. The print media type and the amount of toner
●
used affect the output bin capacity.
Check the power connection. Make sure that the power cord is firmly connected to both the
●
product and the power supply box. Plug the power cord into a grounded power outlet.
