HP Maintenance/Long Life Consumables (LLC) life specifications are estimations based on the LLC life test conditions listed below. Actual
individual life/yield during normal use varies depending on usage, environment, paper and other factors. Estimated life is not an implied
guarantee or warrantable.

The LLC life test conditions
●

Print coverage: 5% evenly distributed across the page

●

Environment: 17° to 25°C (62.6° to 77°F); 30%-70% relative humidity (RH)

●

Media size: Letter/A4

●

Media weight: 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain media

●

Job size: 4 pages

●

Short edge feed (A3) (i.e., Legal size media)

Factors that can reduce life from the conditions above:

ENWW

●

Media narrower than Letter/A4 widths (thermal slow downs equal more rotations)

●

Paper heavier than 75 g/m2 (20 lb) (heavier media creates higher stress on printer components)

●

Print jobs smaller than 4 image (smaller jobs mean more thermal cycling and more rotations)

Enable or disable the Cartridge Protection feature

Introduction
Use HP Cartridge Policy and Cartridge Protection to control which cartridges are installed in the printer and
protect the cartridges that are installed from theft. These features are available with HP FutureSmart versions 3
and later.
●

Cartridge Policy: This feature protects the printer from counterfeit toner cartridges by allowing only genuine
HP cartridges to be used with the printer. Using genuine HP cartridges ensures the best possible print
quality. When someone installs a cartridge that is not a genuine HP cartridge, the printer control panel
displays a message that the cartridge is unauthorized and it provides information explaining how to
proceed.

●

Cartridge Protection: This feature permanently associates toner cartridges with a specific printer, or fleet of
printers, so they cannot be used in other printers. Protecting cartridges protects your investment. When
this feature is enabled, if someone attempts to transfer a protected cartridge from the original printer into
an unauthorized printer, that printer will not print with the protected cartridge. The printer control panel
displays a message that the cartridge is protected, and it provides information explaining how to proceed.
CAUTION: After enabling cartridge protection for the printer, all subsequent toner cartridges installed in
the printer are automatically and permanently protected. To avoid protecting a new cartridge, disable the
feature before installing the new cartridge.
Turning the feature off does not turn off protection for cartridges that are currently installed.

Both features are off by default. Follow these procedures to enable or disable them.

Replace the toner cartridge
This printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is low. The actual toner cartridge life remaining can vary. The
toner cartridge does not need to be replaced at this time. Consider having a replacement cartridge available to
install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print quality.
To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back and forth
about its horizontal axis. For graphical representation, see cartridge replacement instructions. Reinsert the toner
cartridge into the printer and close the cover.

protect critical information on your network, and simplify the way you monitor and maintain the printer.

IP Security
IP Security (IPsec) is a set of protocols that control IP-based network traffic to and from the printer. IPsec
provides host-to-host authentication, data integrity, and encryption of network communications.
For printers that are connected to the network and have an HP Jetdirect print server, you can configure IPsec by
using the Networking tab in the HP Embedded Web Server.

Assign an administrator password
Assign an administrator password for access to the printer and the HP Embedded Web Server so that
unauthorized users cannot change the printer settings.

Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the
appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the marking on
the tray.
NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or
markings in the tray.
The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most
HP printers have markings similar to these.

Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer and that paper is being stored in
unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might
have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this
happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends
up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack
of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static
electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.
Figure 6-3 Technique for flexing the paper stack

Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper,
and continue.

The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with
warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.
CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth
in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.

A Cleaning... message displays on the printer control panel. The cleaning process takes a few minutes to
complete. Do not turn the printer off until the cleaning process has finished. When it is finished, discard the
printed page.

Visually inspect the toner cartridge
Follow these steps to inspect each toner cartridge.
1.

Remove the toner cartridges from the printer, and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.

Check the memory chip for damage.

Examine the surface of the green imaging drum.
CAUTION: Do not touch the imaging drum. Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality
problems.

If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.

Reinstall the toner cartridge, and print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.

Check paper and the printing environment
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.
●

Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.

●

Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids,
staples, and curled or bent edges.

●

Use paper that has not been previously printed on.

●

Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.

●

Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in Inkjet
printers.

●

Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding
issues. Try the following solutions:

ENWW

●

Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.

●

Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications.

●

Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet.
Improve print quality 133

●

Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.

●

Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all sides,
including the top.

●

Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the printer.

Step three: Set the individual tray alignment
Follow these steps when text or images are not centered or aligned correctly on the printed page when printing
from specific trays.
