Paper Usage

Getting to Know Your Printer

You should set your printer Media Type to Thick1 or any of the other paper types that use Thick1 fuser mode for any paper that is from 106 gsm to 159 gsm. If your paper is 160 gsm to 216 gsm, you should set your printer Media Type to Thick2 or Cardstock. If you do not get satisfactory results using Thick1 or Thick2 on some paper types with rough or uneven surfaces, it is possible you will get improved results using Thick3 because of the lower fuser temperature and slower paper speed in the printer.

The fuser temperature progression is

Transparency Thin Thick3 Normal Thick1 Thick2

Printing Transparencies

Transparen c ies ca n be pr inted fro m all trays, but they can not be printed on two sides using the Duplex Module. Only use transparencies designed for laser printers so they can withstand the heat required for fusing. It is possible to damage your printer by using unsupported transparencies.

Loading transparencies into the trays:

1. Remove the tray from the printer.

2. Remove all paper from a tray before loading transparencies.

3. Fan the stack of new transparencies before putting them in the tray.

4. Insert the transparencies into the tray.

Place the transparencies in the input tray with the side to be printed facing up. Do not fully load a tray with transparencies. The printer supports loading 100 transparencies or less in a tray. Handle them by the edges with both hands and avoid getting fingerprints and creases on them.

5. Adjust the paper guides to fit the transparencies.

6. Insert the tray firmly into the printer.

7. Using the Operator Panel or EWS, select the Transparency Media T y pe and correct Media

Size for the tray to be used.

8. In the printer driver or the computer application program, select Transparency as the

paper type you wish to use.

Printing Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed from all trays. There are 5 sizes of standard envelopes that can be used. They are COM10, COM9, C5, Monarch, and DL. All other envelope sizes must be specified as custom size. Only use envelopes designed for use in laser printers. The heat from the fuser can melt some adhesives and possible damage your printer.

Loading envelopes into the trays:

Caution: Never use padded envelopes or those with windows or metal clasps. These can damage your printer.

1. Remove the tray from the printer.

2. Insert the envelopes into the tray.

3. Adjust the paper guides to fit the envelopes.

All sizes of envelopes go in all trays with the printing side up, “flap-side down”, and the top of the envelopes toward the right side of the printer.

Do not load more than 15 envelopes in Tray 1 or more than 80 in Trays 2 – 4.

4. Insert the tray firmly into the printer.

5. Using the Operator Panel or EWS, select the Envelope Media Type and correct Media

Size for the tray to be used.

6. In the printer driver or the computer application program, select Envelope as the paper type you wish to use, and select the size and orientation of the image to be printed.

Printing Labels

Labels can be printed from any tray. Use labels that were designed for use in laser printers. See section “Available Paper” on page 2-9 for recomme ndations.

Insert the labels into the tray and adjust the guides to fit the sheets. Place the side to be printed facing up and the top of the sheets to be fed into the printer first. Do not load more than 100 label sheets in Tray 1 or more than 290 in Tray 2 – 4, and do not fill any tray above the fill line marked inside the tray.

Use the Operator Panel Paper>Media Size/Type Menu to select the Label Media Type and size for the tray in use. Then use your computer’s application software to print the labels. See section “Printing on Special Paper” on page 4-11 for further detail about using your computer to print labels.

Auto-Sense Configures the Ethernet connection speed

(10 or 100 Mbits/second) and communication mode (full or half duplex). The “Auto Sense” setting attempts to auto-negotiate this connection with the networking hardware, usually a switch. When a setting other than “Auto Sense” must be used, the following should be considered: If connected to network switch, the “100Mbit/Full” setting can be used. If connected to a hub, use the “100Mbit/Half” setting.

Bidirectional On/Off On When this setting is “on”, the printer may

receive and send information over the network interface. When this setting is “off”, the printer will only receive information over the network interface. This applies primarily when using printing over a “Port 9100” connection. This setting normally should be left at its default setting, should only be turned “off” under special circumstances

If none is found, the printe r st ops and asks you to load the requested paper. The top line of the Operator Panel display will look like one of the following:

“Load Paper” or “Load Paper TrayX” “X” is the tray number where the paper should be loaded.

Chapter 7: Networking

The printer is a fast network capable printer and supports an Ethernet 10/100 Base-Tx network connection.

Protocols

The following protocols are supported:

Initial Setting of the Printer’s IP Address

All devices on the network must have an IP address. The printer comes configured from the factory to obtain an address automatically from your network’s DHCP server. If your network does not support DHCP or you want to set the printer to a specific IP address, you must set it manually.

Setting the IP Address through DHCP

Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically programs an IP address into every terminal and printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your the device documentation for information on IP addressing.

TCP/IPv4, UDP, BOOTP, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, DDNS, WINS, LPR HTTP for Embedded We b Server IPv6, ICMPv6, Address Auto Configuration and Neighbor Discovery

Configuring the Driver

Networking

Setting the Network Configuration Manually

You can make changes to the printer’s default network configuration using the Operator Panel. Once the settings for DHCP or IP address are changed, the printer automatically re-initializes. To manually set the printer’s IP address:

1. Navigate through the menus to the Interface> Network 1 Setup sub menu.

2. Navigate through the Network 1 Setup items to set all of the following items:

IP Address Subnet mask Disable DHCP

For more information, see “Interface Menu” on page 3-8.

Setting the IP Address through the Embedded Web Server

The IP Address can also be changed from a computer by using the Embedded W e b Server. Prior to using the Embedded Web Server, the printer must have a obtained a valid IP address either through DHCP or manually entered through the Operator Panel.

1. Connect your printer to the network by plugging in the network connector.

2. Turn on your computer and allow it to power up.

3. Print the Configuration Summary by pressing the INFO button. The Configuration

Summary lists the printer’s IP address.

4. Access the EWS as described in “Accessing the EWS” on page 6-1.

5. In the left navigation area, select Network Settings>Protocol Settings and navigate

through the options to get the IP address.

NOTE: You must have administrative access to perform this function.

Configuring the Driver

Once the printer has an IP address, the printer driver can be installed.

1. Connect your printer to the network by plugging in the network connector.

2. Turn on your computer and allow it to power up.

3. Print the Configuration Summary by pressing the INFO button. The Configuration

Summary lists the printer’s IP address.

4. Install the printer drivers using the CD-ROM included with the printer.

5. At the Select a Printer Port installation screen, click the Add Network Port button.

6. Enter the printer’s IP address and complete the installation as indicated by the installation

screens.

Notifications

Networking

Notifications

Automatic notifications of printer unavailability during printing can be sent in the following ways:

IP Filtering

The purpose of IP filtering is to limit access to the printer to only those Host computers that have IP addresses within IP ranges predefined on the configuration page. The IP configuration page, accessible from the EWS (when logged in as administrator), has enable and disable parameters. When IP filtering is disabled, all network traffic is allowed.

When IP filtering is enabled and incoming data is from an address that falls within the predefined range, it is allowed to print, if the “Printing” or “Config” checkboxes are checked. If the incoming data does not fall into a predefined range, it is rejected.

In cases where IP ranges overlap but have different permissions (for example, one to print only and another to print and configure), permissions for the overlapping addresses are determined by IP Filter priority . Higher priority overrides lo wer priority permissions. If an administrator IP address is entered, it takes highest priority over any configured IP range.

NOTE: Leaving IP ranges disables IP Filtering. The address 0.0.0.0 is not allowed.

SNMP monitoring E-mail configured via the EWS Status Monitor Utility.

IPv6 Implementation

Networking

IPv6 Implementation

Specifications

The IPv6 implementation conforms to the following IETF documents:

Operational Information

IPv6 enabled devices can auto configure their IPv6 address. This happens automatically whenever there is an IPv6 enabled router on the subnet to which the device is connected. The printer unique ID is obtained from the Ethernet MAC address. The router may advertise multiple network prefixes, depending on the network configuration. The Network summary page displays all the above addresses, if they exist. If only the Local Link address (starting with “xFE80...”) is displayed, that is an indication that the link is not connected to a router (gateway). No manual configuration of IPv6 addresses is supported, nor is there support for DHCPv6, and the printer does not register its IPv6 address with DNS.

Upper Level Protocols such as UDP, TCP run with either IPv4 or IPv6. For instance, a print job can be sent to the printer over IPv4 or IPv6. Similarly the EWS or SNMP can be accessed over IPv4 or IPv6. IPv6 and IPv4 coexist independent of each other. They can be Enabled/Disabled in any combination. They are both enabled by default. In cases where a particular network is configured to run only one IP version, it makes sense to disable the other one (for better resource utilization).

SNMP

SNMP can be used to manage any network device. SNMP is a protocol that allows an SNMP manager (the controller) to control an SNMP agent (the controlee) by exchanging SNMP messages. The main purpose of an SNMP message is to control (set) or monitor (get) the parameters in a network device.

In SNMP, a parameter is an instance of a more gene ric object. For example, an SNMP agent may have several instances of an object. An SNMP manager can set or get the value for each object instance (each parameter).

RFC 2460: Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification RFC 2461: Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6) RFC 2462/4862: IPv6 Stateless Address Auto Configuration RFC 1981: Path MTU Discovery for IP Version 6 RFC 2463/4443: Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) RFC 2710/3810: Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2)

Page 94

7-6 User Guide

SNMP

Networking

In an SNMP agent, parameters are arranged in a tree. SNMP uses an Object Identifier (OID) to specify the exact parameter to set or get in the tree. An OID is a list of numbers separated by periods. An OID is a combination of two values. The first value is the OID of the generic object and the second is the instance value, which specifies the particular instance of the object.

Every SNMP agent has an address book of all its objects, called the MIB or Management Information Base. The MIB provides the name, OID, data type, read/write permissions, and a brief description for each object in an SNMP agent. Armed with information about an object from the MIB, and the instance value, an SNMP manager can send an SNMP message to set or get one of the parameters on an SNMP agent.

Supported Object Identifiers

The printer can be managed via a standard SNMP management station. The printer supports SNMP-v1, SNMP-v2c, MIB-II, Host Resources MIB, and Printer MIB.

Tr a p s

The printer sends generic traps at power up and online and offline traps. Traps are sent on all printer status changes such as: paper out, cover open, tray missing, and jams. The T rap Host ID must be set via the EWS for traps to be enabled.

Hewlett Packard Web Jet Administrative Compatibility

This product operates with HP WebJet Admin in a basic mode where WJA provides generic support for any printer that has Printer MIB implemented. There is no special recognition of this printer by WJA other than that supported by Printer MIB.

SNMP Alerts

Support for SNMP alerts is based on Printer MIB (RFC 1759) requirements. All outstanding alerts are logged into the Printer MIB alert table. Whenever critical alert is entered into the table trap is generated to the Host application. Traps are sent only if Trap Host IP address is defined. It can be set through the EWS under the SNMP setup menu.
