EconoMode is a feature that allows the product to use less
toner per page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the
toner supply and may reduce cost per page. However, it will
also reduce print quality. The printed page is lighter, but it is
adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
HP does not recommend 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 will need to install a
new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in
the cartridge.

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to
virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on
proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software
programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then
customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables
features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need
to enable them manually.

Supported utilities for Macintosh
Embedded Web server
The device is 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
embedded Web server, type the IP address for the device in the address line of the browser. (To find
the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information about printing a configuration page,
Print the information and show-me-how pages on page 104.)

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 the following problems:
Poor print quality
●
Increased jams
●
Premature wear on the product, requiring repair
●
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laserjets 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.

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 paper 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 Tray 1 is configured for ANY
SIZE and ANY TYPE.
NOTE: If you have used other HP LaserJet product models, you might be accustomed to configuring
Tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. On this product, setting Tray 1 size to ANY SIZE is equivalent
to First mode. Setting Tray 1 size to a setting other than ANY SIZE is equivalent to Cassette mode.
Configure a tray when loading paper
1. Load paper in the tray. Close the tray if you are using a tray other than Tray 1.
2. The tray configuration message appears.
3. Press OK to accept the detected size.

Select the paper by source, type, or size
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull paper
when you send a print job. Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print, 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 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 job before printing it. When you load the tray, the product begins printing.
Type and size
Printing by type or size means that you want 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 is similar to locking out trays
and helps protect special paper from accidental use. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead
and you select plain paper, the product will not pull the letterhead from that tray. Instead, it will pull from
a tray that is loaded with plain paper and is configured for plain paper on the product control panel.
Selecting paper by type and size results in significantly better print quality for most paper types. 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 size for envelopes, if possible.
To print by type or size, select the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print 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.

Use paper output options
The product has four output locations: the top (standard) output bin, the rear output bin, the optional
stacker or stapler/stacker, and the optional 5-bin mailbox.
Print to the top (standard) output bin
The top output bin collects paper face-down, in the correct order. The top output bin should be used for
most print jobs, including transparencies. To use the top output bin, be sure that the rear output bin is
closed. To avoid jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.
Print to the rear output bin
The product always prints to the rear output bin if it is open. Paper that is printed to this bin will exit faceup, with the last page on top (reverse order).
Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest path. Opening the rear output bin
might improve performance with the following items:
Envelopes
●
Labels
●
Small custom-size paper
●
Postcards
●
Paper heavier than 120 g/m
●
To open the rear output bin, grasp the handle at the top of the bin. Pull the bin down, and slide out the
extension.

ENWW Use paper output options 87
Page 100
Opening the rear output bin makes the duplexer (if installed) and the top output bin unavailable. To avoid
jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.
Print to the optional stacker or stapler/stacker
The optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker can hold up to 500 sheets of paper (20-lb paper). The
stacker accepts standard and custom paper sizes. The stapler/stacker accepts standard and custom
paper sizes, but only Letter, Legal, and A4 sizes can be stapled. Do not try to send other types of print
media, such as labels or envelopes.
When a stapler/stacker is installed, the product automatically rotates the printed images 180° on all
paper sizes, regardless of whether the job is stapled. Paper types that must be printed in the correct
orientation, such as letterhead or prepunched paper, need to be loaded in a different direction. See
Paper orientation for loading trays on page 78.
To print to the optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker, select the option in the program, in the printer
driver, or at the printer control panel.
Before you use the optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker, ensure that the printer driver is set to
recognize it. You need to set this setting only once. See the printer driver online Help for details.
For more information about stapling, see
