scan to a folder (Windows only) or to scan to e-mail.
Scan by using other software
The product is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant. The product works
with Windows-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant scanning devices and
with Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant scanning devices.
While you are in a TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant program, you can gain access to the scanning
feature and scan an image directly into the open program. For more information, see the Help file or the
documentation that came with your TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software program.
Scan from a TWAIN-compliant program
Generally, a software program is TWAIN-compliant if it has a command such as Acquire, File
Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether the program
is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or
documentation.
When scanning from a TWAIN-compliant program, the HP LaserJet Scan software program might start
automatically. If the HP LaserJet Scan program starts, you can make changes while previewing the
image. If the program does not start automatically, the image goes to the TWAIN-compliant program
immediately.
Start the scan from within the TWAIN-compliant program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
Scan from a WIA-compliant program (Windows XP and Vista only)
WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program, such as Microsoft Word. WIA
uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of HP LaserJet Scan software.
80 Chapter 9 Scan ENWW
Generally, a software program is WIA-compliant if it has a command such as Picture/From Scanner
or Camera in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the program is WIA-compliant, see the
software program Help or documentation.
Start the scan from within the WIA-compliant program. See the software program Help or documentation
for information about the commands and steps to use.

Scan file format
The file format of a scanned document or photo depends on the scan type as well as the object being
scanned.
Scanning a document or a photo to a computer results in the file being saved as a .TIF file.
Scanning a document to email results in the file being saved as a .PDF file.
Scanning a photo to e-mail results in the file being saved as a .JPEG file.
NOTE: Different file types can be selected when using the scan software program.
Scanner resolution and color
If you are printing a scanned image, and the quality is not what you expected, you might have selected
a resolution or color setting in the scanner software that does not match your needs. Resolution and
color affect the following features of scanned images:
Image clarity
Texture of gradations (smooth or rough)
Scan time
File size
Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi).
NOTE: Scanning ppi levels are not interchangeable with printing dpi (dots per inch) levels.
Color, grayscale, and black and white define the number of colors possible. You can adjust the scanner
hardware resolution to up to 1200 ppi. The software can perform an enhanced resolution up to
19,200 ppi. You can set color and grayscale at 1 bit (black and white), or at 8 bit (256 levels of gray or
color) to 24 bit (true color).
The resolution and color guidelines table lists simple tips that you can follow to meet your scanning
needs.
NOTE: Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files that take up disk space
and slow the scanning process. Before setting the resolution and color, determine how you are going
to use the scanned image.
NOTE: The best resolution for color and grayscale images is achieved by scanning from the flatbed
scanner rather than from the automatic document feeder (ADF).

Receive fax settings
Set or change number of rings-to-answer
When the answer mode is set to Automatic, the product rings-to-answer setting determines the number
of times the telephone rings before the product answers an incoming call.
If the product is connected to a line that receives both fax and voice calls (a shared line) and that also
uses an answering machine, you might need to adjust the rings-to-answer setting. The number of rings-
to-answer for the product must be greater than the rings-to-answer on the answering machine. This
allows the answering machine to answer the incoming call and record a message if it is a voice call.
When the answering machine answers the call, the product listens to the call and automatically answers
it if it detects fax tones.
The default setting for rings-to-answer is five for the U.S. and Canada, and two for other countries/
regions.
Use the rings-to-answer setting
Use the following table to determine the number of rings-to-answer to use.
Type of telephone line Recommended rings-to-answer setting
Dedicated fax line (receiving only fax calls) Set to a number of rings within the range shown on the control-
panel display. (The minimum and maximum number of rings
allowed varies by country/region.)
One line with two separate numbers and a ring-pattern service One or two rings. (If you have an answering machine or

Set the answer mode
Depending on the situation, set the product answer mode to Automatic or Manual. The factory-set
default is Automatic.
Automatic: In this answer mode, the product answers incoming calls after a specified number of
rings or upon recognition of special fax tones. To specify the number of rings, see Set the number
of rings-to-answer on page 106.
TAM: In this answer mode, the product has a telephone answering machine (TAM) attached to the
line-out port. The product does not answer incoming calls, but listens for fax call tones after the
TAM has answered the call.
Fax/Tel: In this answer mode, the product answers an incoming call and determines if the call is
a voice call or fax call. If the call is a fax call, the product receives the fax from the call. If the call
is a voice call, the product generates an audible ring to indicate an incoming voice call that you
must answer on an extension phone.
Manual: In this answer mode, the product never answers calls. You must start the fax-receiving
process yourself, either by pressing Start Fax on the control panel or by picking up a telephone
that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3.
To set or change the answer mode, complete the following steps:
1. On the control panel, press Setup ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax setup, and then press OK.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax Recv. setup, and then press OK.
4. Press OK to select Answer mode.
5. Use the arrow buttons to select the answer mode, and then press OK.
The control-panel display shows the answer mode setting that you specified.
Set fax forwarding
You can set your product to forward incoming faxes to another fax number. When the fax arrives at your
product, it is stored in the memory. The product then dials the fax number that you have specified and
sends the fax. If the product cannot forward a fax because of an error (for example, the number is busy)
and repeated redial attempts are unsuccessful, your product prints the fax.
If the product runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it terminates the incoming fax and only forwards
the pages and partial pages that have been stored in the memory.
When it is using the fax-forwarding feature, the product (rather than the computer) must be receiving
the faxes, and the answer mode must be set to Automatic.
1. On the control panel, press Setup ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax setup, and then press OK.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax Recv. setup, and then press OK.
4. Use the arrow buttons to select Forward fax, and then press OK.

Set up distinctive ring
Ring-pattern or distinctive-ring service is available through some local telephone companies. The
service allows you to have more than one telephone number on a single line. Each telephone number
has a unique ring pattern, so that you can answer voice calls and the product can answer fax calls.
If you subscribe to a ring-pattern service with a telephone company, you must set the product to answer
the correct ring pattern. Not all countries/regions support unique ring patterns. Contact the telephone
company to determine if this service is available in your country/region.
NOTE: If you do not have ring-pattern service and you change the ring-pattern settings to something
other than the default, All Rings, the product might not be able to receive faxes.
The settings are as follows:
All Rings: The product answers any calls that come through the telephone line.
Single: The product answers any calls that produce a single-ring pattern.
Double: The product answers any calls that produce a double-ring pattern.
Triple: The product answers any calls that produce a triple-ring pattern.
Double&Triple: The product answers any calls that produce a double-ring or triple-ring pattern.
To change ring patterns for call answering, complete the following steps:
1. On the control panel, press Setup ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax setup, and then press OK.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax Recv. setup, and then press OK.
4. Use the arrow buttons to select Answer Ring Type, and then press OK.
5. Use the arrow buttons to select the ring pattern that you want, and then press OK.
6. After product installation is complete, ask someone to send a fax to you in order to verify that the
ring-pattern service is working correctly.

control panel.
1. On the control panel, press Setup ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax functions, and then press OK.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select Stop Recv to PC, and then press OK.
Use autoreduction for incoming faxes
If the fit-to-page option is turned on, the product automatically reduces long faxes up to 75% to fit the
information on the default paper size (for example, the fax is reduced from legal to letter size).
If the fit-to-page option is turned off, long faxes print at full size on multiple pages. The factory-set default
for incoming fax autoreduction is On.
If you have the stamp-received faxes option turned on, you might also want to turn on autoreduction.
This reduces the size of the incoming faxes slightly, and prevents the page-stamp from forcing a fax
onto two pages.
NOTE: Make sure that the default media size setting matches the size of the media that is loaded in
the tray.
1. On the control panel, press Setup ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax setup, and then press OK.

choose to have your own header information included on each received fax to confirm the date and time
that the fax was received. The factory-set default for stamp-received faxes is Off.
NOTE: This option applies only to received faxes that the product prints.

fax numbers by using the control panel. When you block a fax number and someone from that number
sends you a fax, the control-panel display indicates that the number is blocked, the fax does not print,
and the fax is not saved in memory. Faxes from blocked fax numbers appear in the fax activity log with
a “discarded” designation. You can unblock blocked fax numbers individually or all at one time.

Use fax on a DSL, PBX, ISDN, or VoIP system
HP products are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. They are not
designed to work on DSL, PBX, ISDN lines, or VoIP services, but they might work with the proper setup
and equipment.
NOTE: HP recommends discussing DSL, PBX, ISDN, and VoIP setup options with the service
provider.
The HP LaserJet product is an analog device that is not compatible with all digital phone environments
(unless a digital-to-analog converter is used). HP does not guarantee that the product will be compatible
with digital environments or digital-to-analog converters.
DSL
A digital subscriber line (DSL) uses digital technology over standard copper telephone wires. This
product is not directly compatible with digital signals. However, if the configuration is specified during
DSL setup, the signal can be separated so that some of the bandwidth is used to transmit an analog
signal (for voice and fax) while the remaining bandwidth is used to transmit digital data.
NOTE: Not all faxes are compatible with DSL services. HP does not guarantee that the product will
be compatible with all DSL service lines or providers.
The DSL modem requires a high-pass filter. The service provider typically provides a low-pass filter, for
normal telephone wiring.
NOTE: Contact the DSL provider for more information or for assistance.
ENWW Use fax 113
PBX
The product is an analog device that is not compatible in all digital phone environments. Digital-to-analog
filters or converters may be needed for faxing functionality. If faxing issues occur in a PBX environment,

will be compatible with digital environments or digital-to-analog converters.
Contact the PBX provider for more information and for assistance.
ISDN
Contact the ISDN provider for more information and for assistance.
VoIP
Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services are often not compatible with fax machines unless the
provider explicitly states that it supports fax over IP services.
If the product experiences problems getting a fax to work on a VoIP network, verify that all cables and
settings are correct. Decreasing the fax-speed setting might allow the product to send a fax over a VoIP
network.
If faxing problems continue, contact the VoIP provider.

Send a fax by dialing from a downstream phone
Occasionally, you might want to dial a fax number from a telephone that is connected to the same line
as the product. For example, if you are sending a fax to a person whose device is in the manual receive
mode, you can precede the fax with a voice call to let that person know that the fax is coming.
NOTE: The telephone must be connected to the product "telephone" port ( ).
1. Load the document into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray.
NOTE: You cannot use the flatbed scanner when sending a fax by dialing from an extension
telephone.
2. Pick up the handset of a telephone that is connected to the same line as the product. Dial the fax
number by using the telephone keypad.
3. When the recipient answers, instruct the person to start the fax machine.
4. When you hear the fax tones, press Start Fax, wait until Connecting appears on the control-panel
display, and then hang up the telephone.
Send a delayed fax
Use the product control panel to schedule a fax to be sent automatically at a future time to one or more
people. When this procedure is completed, the product scans the document into memory and then
returns to the Ready state.
NOTE: If the product cannot transmit the fax at the scheduled time, that information is indicated on
the fax error report (if that option is turned on) or recorded in the fax activity log. The transmittal might
not be initiated because the fax-sending call is not answered, or because a busy signal stops the redial
attempts.
If a fax has been scheduled to be sent at a future time but it requires updating, send the additional
information as another job. All faxes that are scheduled to go to the same fax number at the same time
are delivered as individual faxes.
1. Load the document into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray or onto the flatbed
scanner.
2. On the control panel, press Setup ( ).
3. Use the arrow buttons until Fax functions appears, and then press OK.
4. Use the arrow buttons until Send fax later appears, and then press OK.
5. Use the alphanumeric buttons to enter the time.
6. If the product is set to the 12-hour time mode, use the arrow buttons to move the cursor past the
fourth character to set A.M. or P.M. Select 1 for A.M. or select 2 for P.M., and then press OK.
-or-
If the product is set to the 24-hour time mode, press OK.
7. Use the alphanumeric buttons to enter the date, and then press OK.
-or-
Accept the default date by pressing OK.
ENWW Use fax 123
8. Enter the fax number, enter the speed dial, or press the one-touch key.
NOTE: This feature does not support undefined (ad hoc) groups.
9. Press OK or Start Fax. The product scans the document into memory and sends it at the designated
time.
Use access codes, credit cards, or calling cards
To use access codes, credit cards, or calling cards, dial manually to allow for pauses and dialing codes.
See Manual dial faxing on page 116.
Send faxes internationally
To send a fax to an international destination, dial manually to allow for pauses and international dialing
codes. See Manual dial faxing on page 116.
Receive a fax
When the product receives a fax transmission, it prints the fax (unless the private-receive feature is
enabled) and also stores it automatically to flash memory.
Print a stored fax (when private receive feature is on)
To print stored faxes, you must provide the private-receive PIN. Once the product prints the stored faxes,
the faxes are deleted from memory.
1. On the control panel, press Setup ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax setup, and then press OK.
3. Use the alphanumeric buttons to enter the product security PIN, and then press OK.
4. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax Recv. setup, and then press OK.
5. Use the arrow buttons to select Private receive, and then press OK.
6. Use the arrow buttons to select Print faxes, and then press OK.
Reprint a fax
If you want to reprint a fax because the print cartridge was empty or if the fax was printed on the wrong
type of media, you can try to reprint it. The amount of memory that is available determines the actual
number of faxes that are stored for reprinting. The most recent fax prints first; the oldest fax that is in
storage prints last.
These faxes are stored continuously. Reprinting them does not clear them from the memory. To clear
these faxes from the memory, see Delete faxes from memory on page 113.
1. On the control panel, press Setup ( ).
2. Use the arrow buttons to select Fax functions, and then press OK.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select Reprint last, and then press OK. The product begins reprinting
the most recently printed fax.
NOTE: To stop the printing at any time, press Cancel.
124 Chapter 10 Fax ENWW
CAUTION: If the Reprint faxes setting is set to Off, misprinted or faded faxes cannot be reprinted.
Receive faxes when fax tones are audible on the phone line
If you have a telephone line that receives both fax and telephone calls, and you hear fax tones when
you answer the telephone, you can start the receiving process in one of two ways:
If you are close to the product, press Start Fax on the control panel.
When you answer any telephone connected to the line (an extension telephone) and hear fax tones,
the product should begin answering the call automatically. If not, press 1-2-3 in sequence on the
telephone keypad, listen for fax transmission sounds, and then hang up.
NOTE: In order for the second method to work, the extension telephone setting must be set to Yes.
See Make an extension telephone available to receive faxes on page 111 to check or change the setting.
View a fax that was sent to your computer
In order to view faxes on a computer, the product must be configured to receive faxes to the computer.
See Set up the computer to receive faxes on page 108.
1. Open HP ToolboxFX.
2. Select the product.
3. Click Fax.
4. Click Fax Receive Log.
5. In the Fax Image column, click the “view” link of the fax that you want to view.

Paper handling
Use the HP ToolboxFX paper-handling options to configure the default settings. These are the same
options that are available on the product control-panel. For more information, see Control panel
on page 9.
Three options are available for handling print jobs when the product is out of media:
Select Wait for paper to be loaded.
Select Cancel from the Paper out action drop-down list to cancel the print job.
Select Override from the Paper out time drop-down list to send the print job to another paper tray.
The Paper out time field specifies how long the product waits before acting on the selections. You can
specify from 0 to 3600 seconds.
NOTE: You must click Apply before the changes take effect.
Print quality
Use the HP ToolboxFX print-quality options to improve the appearance of print jobs. These are the same
options that are available on the product control panel. For more information, see Control panel
on page 9.
The four options provided for controlling print quality are resolution, REt (Resolution Enhancement
technology), print density, and EconoMode.
Resolution. Select 600 resolution for average print jobs and Fast Res 1200 for higher-quality print
jobs.
REt. You can turn on REt, which HP provides for improved print quality.
Print density. For increased print density, select a higher number. For decreased print density,
select a lower number.
EconoMode. Turn EconoMode on when you are printing average print jobs. EconoMode is a
feature that allows the product to use less toner per page. Selecting this option might extend the
life of the toner supply and might reduce cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality.
The printed image 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, it is possible that the toner supply will
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.
NOTE: You must click Apply before the changes take effect.
Paper types
Use the HP ToolboxFX Paper types options to configure print modes that correspond to the various
media types. Select Restore Modes to reset all modes to the factory settings.

Embedded Web server
This product is equipped with an embedded Web server (EWS), which provides access to information
about product and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web programs
may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment
for programs to run on a computer. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, or Netscape Navigator.
An “embedded” Web server resides on a hardware device (such as an HP LaserJet product) or in
firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an EWS is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone with a network-
connected product and computer can use. There is no special software to install or configure, but you
must have a supported Web browser on the computer. To gain access to the EWS, type the IP address
for the product in the address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page.
For more information about printing a configuration page, see Information pages on page 140.)
NOTE: For Macintosh operating systems, you can use the EWS over a USB connection after installing
the Macintosh software included with the product.
Features
The EWS allows you to view product and network status and manage printing functions from a computer.
With the EWS, you can complete the following tasks:
View product status information
Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones
View and change part of the product configuration
View and print some internal pages
Select the language in which to display the EWS pages
View and change network configuration
Set, change, or clear the product security password (see Turn on password protection
on page 99).
NOTE: Changing network settings in the EWS might disable some of product software or features.
ENWW Embedded Web server 151
Use HP Web Jetadmin software
HP Web Jetadmin is a Web-based software solution for remotely installing, monitoring, and
troubleshooting network-connected peripherals. The intuitive browser interface simplifies cross-platform
management of a wide range of devices, including HP and non-HP devices. Management is proactive,
allowing network administrators the ability to resolve issues before users are affected. Download this
free, enhanced-management software at www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin_software.
To obtain plug-ins to HP Web Jetadmin, click plug-ins, and then click the download link that is next to
the name of the plug-in that you want. The HP Web Jetadmin software can automatically notify you
when new plug-ins are available. On the Product Update page, follow the directions to automatically
connect to the HP Web site.
If installed on a host server, HP Web Jetadmin is available to any client through a supported Web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 for Windows or Netscape Navigator 7.1 for Linux.
Browse to the HP Web Jetadmin host.
NOTE: Browsers must be Java-enabled. Browsing from an Apple PC is not supported.
Security features
Secure the embedded Web server
Use the EWS to set a password.
NOTE: A single password can be set from the control panel, HP ToolboxFX, or the embedded Web
server.
1. Open the EWS, and then click the System tab.
2. Click Password.
3. In the Password box, type the password you want to set, and then in the Confirm password box,
type the same password again to confirm your choice.
4. Click Apply to save the password.
Lock the control-panel menus
The product includes a password-protection feature that locks many menu items. For information about
setting up password protections, see Turn on password protection on page 99.
Private receive
The private receive feature allows you to store faxes in memory, without printing them, until you are at
the product and can provide a PIN to print the faxes. For more information, see Turn on private receive
feature on page 100.

cartridge when Low message for a print cartridge first appears. Use a new, authentic HP print cartridge
to obtain the following types of supplies information:
Amount of cartridge life remaining
Estimated number of pages remaining
Number of pages printed
Other supplies information
NOTE: If the product is connected to the network, you can set HP ToolboxFX to notify you by e-mail
when a print cartridge is low. If the product is directly connected to a computer, you can set
HP ToolboxFX to notify you when supplies are low.

Store the supply in a horizontal position.
Store the supply in a dark, dry location away from heat and magnetic sources.
HP policy on non-HP supplies
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or
remanufactured. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their
quality. Service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered under the
warranty.
HP fraud hotline
Call the HP fraud hotline if the product or HP ToolboxFX indicates that the print cartridge is not an
HP print cartridge and you think that it is genuine. HP will help determine if the product is genuine and
take steps to resolve the problem.
The print cartridge might not be a genuine HP one if you notice the following issues:
You are experiencing a large number of problems with the print cartridge.
The print cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the pull tab or the box is different).
In the United States, call toll-free: 1-877-219-3183.
Outside the United States, you can call collect. Dial the operator and ask to place a collect call to this
telephone number: 1-770-263-4745. If you do not speak English, a representative at the HP fraud hotline
who speaks your language will assist you. Or, if someone who speaks your language is not available,
a language line interpreter will connect approximately one minute after the beginning of the call. The
language line interpreter is a service that will translate between you and the representative for the HP
fraud hotline.

Print-media guidelines
For best results, make sure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots,
loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
For best-quality printing, use a smooth type of paper. Generally, smoother media produces better
results.
If you are unsure what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label
on the package of paper.
Do not use media that is designed for inkjet printers only. Use media that is designed for laser
printers.
Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
types of thermography.
Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
The product uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper
or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200°C or 392°F for
0.1 second).
CAUTION: Failure to follow these guidelines could cause jams or damage to the product.

Optimize and improve image quality
Print-quality checklist
General print-quality problems can be solved by using the following checklist:
1. Make sure that the paper or print media that you are using meets specifications. See Paper and
print media on page 45. Generally, smoother paper provides better results.
2. If you are using a special print media such as labels, transparencies, glossy, or letterhead, ensure
that you have printed by type. See Change the print driver to match the media type and size
on page 52.
3. Print a configuration page and supplies status page at the product control panel. See Information
pages on page 140.
Check the supplies status page to see if any supplies are low or empty. No information is
provided for non-HP print cartridges.
If the pages do not print correctly, the problem is with the hardware. Contact HP. See
www.hp.com/support/ljm1522 or the support flyer that came in the product box.
4. Print a demo page from HP ToolboxFX. If the page prints, the problem is with the printer driver.
Try printing from another printer driver. For example, if you are using the PCL 6 printer driver, print
from the PS printer driver.
Use the Add Printer Wizard in the Printers (or Printers and Faxes in Windows XP) dialog
box to install the PS driver.
5. Try printing from a different program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the program
from which you were printing.
6. Restart the computer and the product and try printing again. If the problem is not resolved, see
General print-quality issues on page 179.
Manage and configure printer drivers
Print-quality settings affect how light or dark the print is on the page and the style in which the graphics
are printed. You can also use the print-quality settings to optimize the print quality for a specific media
type.
You can change the settings in the product properties to accommodate the types of jobs that you are
printing. The following settings are available, depending on the printer driver that you are using:
600 dpi
FastRes 1200
Custom: This setting produces the same resolution as the default setting, but you can change the
scale patterns.
NOTE: Changing the resolution can change the formatting of your text.
Temporarily change print-quality settings
To change the print-quality settings only for the current software program, open the properties through

or Mac OS X v10.4.
Ensure that your Macintosh has the appropriate USB software
from Apple.
Hardware troubleshooting
Check that the product is turned on.
Verify that the USB cable is connected correctly.
Check that you are using the appropriate high-speed USB cable.
Ensure that you do not have too many USB devices drawing
power from the chain. Disconnect all of the devices from the
chain, and connect the cable directly to the USB port on the host
computer.
Check to see if more than two nonpowered USB hubs are
connected in a row on the chain. Disconnect all of the devices
from the chain and connect the cable directly to the USB port on
the host computer.
NOTE: The iMac keyboard is a nonpowered USB hub.

HP LaserJet M1522n and M1522nf One-year limited warranty
HP warrants to you, the end-user customer, that HP hardware and accessories will be free from defects in materials
and workmanship after the date of purchase, for the period specified above. If HP receives notice of such defects
during the warranty period, HP will, at its option, either repair or replace products which prove to be defective.
Replacement products may be either new or equivalent in performance to new.
HP warrants to you that HP software will not fail to execute its programming instructions after the date of purchase,
for the period specified above, due to defects in material and workmanship when properly installed and used. If
HP receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP will replace software which does not execute
its programming instructions due to such defects.
HP does not warrant that the operation of HP products will be uninterrupted or error free. If HP is unable, within a
reasonable time, to repair or replace any product to a condition as warranted, you will be entitled to a refund of
the purchase price upon prompt return of the product.
HP products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or may have been subject to
incidental use.
Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from (a) improper or inadequate maintenance or calibration, (b)
software, interfacing, parts or supplies not supplied by HP, (c) unauthorized modification or misuse, (d) operation
outside of the published environmental specifications for the product, or (e) improper site preparation or
maintenance.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER
WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AND HP
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY,
SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some countries/regions, states or
provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation or exclusion might
not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you might also have other rights that vary from
country/region to country/region, state to state, or province to province. HP's limited warranty is valid in any country/
region or locality where HP has a support presence for this product and where HP has marketed this product. The
level of warranty service you receive may vary according to local standards. HP will not alter form, fit or function
of the product to make it operate in a country/region for which it was never intended to function for legal or regulatory
reasons.

Customer self repair warranty service
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and
allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period, HP
identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to
you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts: 1) Parts for which customer self repair is
mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs
of this service. 2) Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for
Customer Self Repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, this may be done at no
additional charge under the type of warranty service designated for your product.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day
delivery. Same-day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will
help you over the phone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether
a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP,
you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business
days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping
material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a
customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to
be used.

appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate. The Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) of this device is 0.7.
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication
of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination
on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum
of the Ringer Equivalence Number of all the devices does not exceed five (5.0). The standard connecting
arrangement code (telephone jack type) for equipment with direct connections to the telephone network
is CA11A.

Safety statements
Laser safety
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has
implemented regulations for laser products manufactured since August 1, 1976. Compliance is
mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The device is certified as a “Class 1” laser product
under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard
according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Since radiation emitted inside the
device is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot
escape during any phase of normal user operation.
WARNING! Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified
in this user guide may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
