Introduction
The following information describes how to print and load labels.
To print on sheets of labels, use Tray 2 or one of the 550-sheet trays. Tray 1 does not support labels.
To print labels using the manual feed option, follow these steps to select the correct settings in the print driver,
and then load the labels into the tray after sending the print job to the printer. When using manual feed, the
printer waits to print the job until it detects that the tray has been opened.

Manually feed labels
1.

From the software program, select the Print option.

2.

Select the printer from the list of printers, and then click the Properties or Preferences button to open the
print driver.
NOTE:

The name of the button varies for different software programs.

NOTE: To access these features from a Windows 8 or 8.1 Start screen, select Devices, select Print, and

the correct size of paper, so it is not necessary to specify a particular tray. For example, if Tray 2 is
configured for labels, the printer will print from Tray 2. If Tray 3 is installed and configured for labels, but
Tray 2 is not configured for labels, the printer will print from Tray 3.

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

Order supplies, accessories, and parts

39

●

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 pages (smaller jobs mean more thermal cycling and more rotations)

Customer self-repair parts
Customer Self-Repair (CSR) parts are available for many HP LaserJet printers to reduce repair time. More
information about the CSR program and benefits can be found at www.hp.com/go/csr-support and
www.hp.com/go/csr-faq.
Genuine HP replacement parts can be ordered at www.hp.com/buy/parts or by contacting an HP-authorized
service or support provider. When ordering, one of the following will be needed: part number, serial number
(found on back of printer), product number, or printer name.

40

●

Parts listed as Mandatory self-replacement are to be installed by customers, unless you are willing to pay
HP service personnel to perform the repair. For these parts, on-site or return-to-depot support is not
provided under the HP printer warranty.

●

Parts listed as Optional self-replacement can be installed by HP service personnel at your request for no
additional charge during the printer warranty period.

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.

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.

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.

5.

Click the Print button.

Check toner-cartridge status
Follow these steps to check the estimated life remaining in the toner cartridges and if applicable, the status of
other replaceable maintenance parts.
Step one: Print the supplies status page
1.

From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Reports menu.

2.

Select the Configuration/Status Pages menu.

3.

Select Supplies Status Page, and then select Print to print the page.

Step two: Check supplies status
1.

Look at the supplies status report to check the percent of life remaining for the toner cartridges and, if
applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The
supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very low
threshold, HP’s premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.
The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the
supplies status page lists the genuine HP part numbers.

2.

Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.
A genuine HP toner cartridge has the word “HP” on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on
identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.

Print a cleaning page
During the printing process paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer and can cause
print-quality issues such as toner specks or spatter, smears, streaks, lines, or repeating marks.
Follow these steps to clean the printer's paper path.
1.

From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Support Tools menu.

2.

Cleaning Page

Select Print to print the page.
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.

2.

Check the memory chip for damage.

3.

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.

4.

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

5.

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 131

●

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.
1.

From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Settings menu.

2.

6.

Select Done to save the new settings.

Try a different print driver
Try a different print driver when printing from a software program and the printed pages have unexpected lines
in graphics, missing text, missing graphics, incorrect formatting, or substituted fonts.
Download any of the following drivers from the HP Web site: www.hp.com/support/colorljM652 or www.hp.com/

The computer is unable to communicate with the printer

●

The printer is using incorrect link and duplex settings for the network

●

New software programs might be causing compatibility problems

●

The computer or workstation might be set up incorrectly

●

The printer is disabled, or other network settings are incorrect

NOTE: HP does not support peer-to-peer networking, as the feature is a function of Microsoft operating
systems and not of the HP print drivers. For more information, go to Microsoft at www.microsoft.com.

Poor physical connection
1.

Verify that the printer is attached to the correct network port using a cable of the correct length.

2.

Verify that cable connections are secure.

3.

Look at the network port connection on the back of the printer, and verify that the amber activity light
flashes indicating network traffic, and the green link-status light is continuously lit indicating a network link.

4.

If the problem continues, try a different cable or port on the hub.

The computer is using the incorrect IP address for the printer

ENWW

1.

Open the printer properties and click the Ports tab. Verify that the current IP address for the printer is
selected. The printer IP address is listed on the printer configuration page.

2.

If you installed the printer using the HP standard TCP/IP port, select the box labeled Always print to this
printer, even if its IP address changes.

3.

If you installed the printer using a Microsoft standard TCP/IP port, use the hostname instead of the IP
address.

4.

If the IP address is correct, delete the printer and then add it again.

Solve wired network problems 141

The computer is unable to communicate with the printer
1.

Test network communication by pinging the network.
a.

2.

Open a command-line prompt on your computer.
●

●

Verify that the encryption method (AES or TKIP) is the same for the printer as it is for the wireless access
point (on networks using WPA security).

●

Verify that the printer is within the range of the wireless network. For most networks, the printer must be
within 30 m (100 ft) of the wireless access point (wireless router).

●

Verify that obstacles do not block the wireless signal. Remove any large metal objects between the access
point and the printer. Make sure poles, walls, or support columns containing metal or concrete do not
separate the printer and wireless access point.

●

Verify that the printer is located away from electronic devices that might interfere with the wireless signal.
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal including motors, cordless phones, security system
cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices.
