When Expanded Sensing is selected, the device
recognizes normal paper, overhead transparencies,

Only is selected, the device recognizes only overhead
transparency and non-overhead transparency types.
To help reduce paper curl, set this option to Reduced.
This decreases full speed to 10 PPM (instead of 40
ppm) and 3/4 speed to 7.5 ppm (instead of 30 ppm).
Turn this feature On if horizontal streaks appear on
pages. Using this feature increases the warm-up time
for the device.
If you are seeing a faint image of the page repeated at
the bottom of the page or on the following page, you
should first make sure the Paper Type and Print Mode
settings are correct for the type of paper you are using.
If you continue to see ghost images on your print jobs,
set the Fuser Temp feature to one of the Alternate
settings . Try the Alternate 1 setting first and see if it
solves the problem. If you continue to see the problem,
try Alternate 2 and then Alternate 3. With the Alternate
2 and Alternate 3 settings you may see an extra delay
between jobs.
If you are seeing marks on the back side of the paper
when printing from Tray 1, set the mode to Alternate.
This increases the frequency of the cleaning cycle.
Chosen when stable high gloss is required. Set this
feature to High for glossy print jobs, such as photos, if
you notice the gloss finish decreasing after the first
page is printed. This setting reduces the performance
for all paper types.

intervals. This feature increases the frequency at which
the C roller is cleaned. Setting this feature to
Alternate might also reduce printing speed and
increase the frequency of consumable replacement.
Set this feature to Alternate if you are seeing short white
vertical lines in the printed output. The Alternate setting
might also cause dark spots in the printed output, so be

from a DHCP server.

BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

For automatic IP address assignment. The BOOTP server
provides the product with an IP address. Requires the
administrator to input a product's MAC hardware address on
the BOOTP server for the product to obtain an IP address from
that server.

Auto IP

For automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP
server nor a BOOTP server is present, the product uses this
service to generate a unique IP address.

87

Configuring network settings
You might need to configure certain network parameters on the product. You can configure these
parameters from the installation software, the product control panel, the embedded Web server, or
management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin.
For more information about supported networks and network configuration tools, see the HP Jetdirect
Print Servers Administrator’s Guide. The guide comes with printers in which an HP Jetdirect print server
is installed.

TCP/IP
Similar to a common language that people use to communicate with each other, TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and
other devices communicate with each other over a network.

Internet Protocol (IP)
When information is sent across the network, the data is broken down into small packets. Each packet
is sent independently. Each packet is encoded with IP information, such as the IP address of the sender
and receiver. IP packets can be routed over routers and gateways: devices that connect a network with
other networks.
IP communications require no connection. When IP packets are sent, they might not arrive at their
destination in the correct sequence. However, higher-level protocols and programs place the packets
in the correct sequence, so IP communications are efficient.
Each node or device that communicates on the network requires an IP address.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
TCP breaks the data into packets and recombines them on the receiving end by providing a connectionoriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to another node on the network. When data packets
are received at their destination, TCP calculates a checksum for each packet to verify that the data is
not corrupt. If the data in the packet has been corrupted during transmission, TCP discards the packet
and requests that the packet be resent.

IP address
Every host (workstation or node) on an IP network requires a unique IP address for each network
interface. This address is used to identify both the network and specific hosts that are located on that
network. It is possible for a host to query a server for a dynamic IP address each time the product boots
up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).
An IP address contains four bytes of information, divided into sections that each contain one byte. The
IP address has the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
CAUTION: When assigning IP addresses, always consult the IP address administrator. Setting the
wrong address can disable other equipment operating on the network or interfere with communications.

Configure IP parameters
TCP/IP configuration parameters can be configured manually, or they can be automatically downloaded
by using DHCP or BOOTP each time the product is turned on.

88

Chapter 6 Network configuration

ENWW

When turned on, a new product that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network
automatically assigns itself a default IP address. The IP address for the product is listed on the product
Configuration page and the Network report. See Information pages on page 176.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP allows a group of devices to use a set of IP addresses that are maintained by a DHCP server.
The product sends a request to the server, and if an IP address is available, the server assigns it to that
product.
BOOTP
BOOTP is a bootstrap protocol used to download configuration parameters and host information from
a network server.
The client broadcasts a boot request packet that contains the product hardware address. The server
answers with a boot reply packet that contains the information that the product needs for configuration.

Subnets
When an IP network address for a particular network class is assigned to an organization, no provision
is made for more than one network being present at that location. Local network administrators use
subnets to partition a network into several different subnetworks. Splitting a network into subnets can
result in better performance and improved use of limited network address space.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask is a mechanism used to divide a single IP network into several different subnetworks.
For a given network class, a portion of an IP address that would normally be used to identify a node is
used, instead, to identify a subnetwork. A subnet mask is applied to each IP address to specify the
portion used for subnetworks, and the portion used to identify the node.

Gateways
Gateways (routers) are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators
between systems that do not use the same communication protocols, data formatting, structures,
languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match
that of the destination system. When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are required to
connect one subnet to another.
Default gateway
The default gateway is the IP address of the gateway or router that moves packets between networks.
If multiple gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway is typically the address of the first, or
nearest, gateway or router. If no gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway will typically assume
the IP address of the network node (such as the workstation or product).

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 media 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

The following message appears on the control panel:Tray  [type] [size] To change size or type,
touch “Modify”. To accept, touch “OK”.
NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1 and Tray 1 is configured for Any
Custom 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 the HP Color LaserJet CM6049f, setting Tray 1 size to Any
Custom is equivalent to First mode. Setting size for Tray 1 to a setting other than Any Custom is
equivalent to Cassette mode.

Configure a tray when loading paper
1.

Load paper in the tray. Close the tray if you are using Tray 2, 3, 4, or 5.

2.

The tray configuration message appears.

3.

Touch OK to accept the detected size and type, or touch Modify to choose a different paper size
or type.

4.

Select the correct size and type and then touch OK.
NOTE: The product automatically detects most paper sizes in Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Configure a tray to match print job settings
1.

In the software program, specify the source tray, the paper size, and the paper type.

2.

Send the job to the product.
If the tray needs to be configured, the Load Tray x   message appears.

3.

Load the tray with the specified type and size of paper, and then close the tray.
To specify a custom size, Modify.

4.

When the Tray  Size= message appears, touch OK to confirm the size.

5.

When the Tray Type= message appears, touch OK to confirm the type and continue
with the job.

Automatic media type sensing (auto sense mode)
The automatic media type sensor functions only when that tray is configured to Any Type or Plain type.
Configuring a tray to any other type, such as Bond or Glossy, deactivates the media sensor in that tray.

ENWW

Configure trays 111

The HP Color LaserJet CM6049f MFP can automatically classify many paper types into one of the
following categories:
●

Plain

●

Transparency

●

Glossy

●

Extra-heavy glossy

●

Glossy film

●

Heavy

For more control, a specific type must be selected in the job or configured in a tray.

Auto sense settings
Full sensing (default for Tray 1)
●

The product recognizes light, plain, heavy, glossy, and tough paper and overhead transparencies.

●

Each time the product begins a print job, it stops the first page to sense the type.

●

This is the slowest mode.

Expanded sensing (default for Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5)
●

Each time the product begins a print job, it stops the first page to sense the type.

●

The product assumes that the second and all subsequent pages are of the same media type as
the first page.

●

This is the second-fastest mode, and is useful for using stacks of the same media type.

Transparency only
●

The product does not stop any pages for sensing but distinguishes between transparencies
(Transparency mode) and paper (Normal mode).

●

This is the fastest mode and is useful for high-volume printing in Normal mode.

For more information about setting these options, see Print Quality menu on page 48

Select the paper by source, type, or size
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull media
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 print media for your print job before printing it. When you load the tray, the product begins
printing.

112 Chapter 7 Paper and print media

ENWW

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 media. Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays
and helps protect special media 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 has plain paper loaded and is configured for plain paper on the product control panel. Selecting
media by Type and Size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and
transparencies. 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.

Use the stapler
The automatic stapler is only available with the optional HP 3-bin Stapler/Stacker (CC517A) or HP
booklet Maker/Finisher Accessory (CC516A).
Print jobs can be stapled with a diagonal staple in either top corner, with two horizontal staples at the
top of the page, or with two vertical staples at either side of the page.
●

Paper weight can range from 60 to 220 g/m2 (16 to 148 lbs.). Heavier paper might have a stapling
limit of fewer than 50 sheets.

●

The optional stapler/stacker can staple jobs of up to 50 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. It can stack
up to 1,000 sheets of paper, or 30 stapled jobs, whichever is less.

●

The optional booklet maker can also staple jobs of up to 50 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. It can
staple and fold up to 15 pages into a booklet. It can stack up to 1,000 sheets of paper, (or 30 stapled
jobs) or up to 25 saddle-stitched booklets.

●

If the job consists of only one sheet, or if it consists of more than 50 sheets, the product delivers
the job to the bin, but does not staple the job.

●

The stapler supports paper only. Do not try to staple other types of print media, such as envelopes,
transparencies, or labels.

NOTE: For information on loading letterhead, pre-printed, and pre-punched paper, see Load
letterhead, pre-printed, or pre-punched paper on page 106.
When you want the product to staple or fold a document, select the correct option in the software. You
can usually select the stapler in your program or printer driver, although some options might be available
only in the printer driver. Where and how you make selections depends on your program or printer driver.
If you cannot select the stapler or booklet maker finisher in the program or printer driver, select it at the
product control panel.
The stapler accepts print jobs if it is out of staples, but it does not staple the pages. The product can be
configured to stop printing if the staple cartridge is empty.

Supported paper sizes for stapling
In order to staple a print job, you must be a supported paper size and orientation.
Corner, angled staples are supported with the following paper sizes: A4, A4 Rotated, Letter, Letter
Rotated, Legal, A3, 11 x 17, and B4 (JIS).
Two staples at the top or side of the print job are supported with the following paper sizes: A4, Letter,
A3, 11 x 17, and B4 (JIS).
Saddle-stitch stapling with the booklet maker can be carried out with these sizes: A4 Rotated, Letter
Rotated, Legal, A3, 11 x 17, and B4 (JIS).
As shown in the graphic below, the paper must also be loaded into the paper trays with the correct

Manage color
Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for the most common
printing requirements. However, for some documents, setting the color options manually can enhance
the way the document appears. Examples of these documents include marketing brochures that contain
many images or documents that are printed on a paper type that is not listed in the printer driver.
Use the printer driver to adjust color settings. For more information, see Set color options
on page 141 for Windows and Set the color options on page 78 for Macintosh.

Automatic or manual color adjustment
The Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral gray color treatment, halftones, and edge
enhancements that are used for each element in a document.
NOTE: Automatic is the default setting and is recommended for printing most color documents.
The Manual color adjustment option allows you to adjust the neutral gray color treatment, halftones,
and edge enhancements for text, graphics, and photographs.

Manual color options
You can manually adjust color options for Edge Control, Halftones, and Neutral Grays.
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has three components:
adaptive halftoning, Resolution Enhancement technology (REt), and trapping. Adaptive halftoning
increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of incorrect color alignment by slightly
overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. The color REt option smoothes the edges.
NOTE: If you notice white gaps between objects, or if you notice areas that have a slight shadow of
cyan, magenta, or yellow at the edge, choose an edge-control setting that increases the trapping level.
Four levels of edge control are available:
●

Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are
on.

●

Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning and color
REt settings are on.

●

Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on.

●

Off turns off trapping, adaptive halftoning, and color REt.

Halftone options
Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can select halftone settings
for text, graphics, and photographs independently. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail.
●

The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option when uniform and smooth
area fills are top priority.

●

The Detail option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or
colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Choose this option when sharp
edges and details are top priority.

144 Chapter 10 Use color

ENWW

NOTE: Some software programs convert text or graphics to bitmap images. In these cases, setting
the color options for photographs also affects how text and graphics appear.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method used for creating gray colors that are used in text,
graphics, and photographs.
Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting:
●

Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) using only black toner. This guarantees
neutral colors without a color cast.

●

4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method
produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and it produces the darkest
black.

Print in grayscale
Select the Print in Grayscale or Print Color as Gray option from the printer driver to print a document
in black and white.

Restrict color use
This product includes a Restrict Color setting. A network administrator can use the setting to restrict
user access to the color printing in order to conserve color toner. If you are unable to print in color, see
your network administrator.

Five values are available for the RGB Color setting:
●

Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the product to interpret RGB
color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C).

●

Select Image optimization (sRGB) to enhance documents in which the content is mainly bitmap
images, such as .GIF or .JPEG files. This setting instructs the product to use the best color matching
for rendering sRGB, bitmap images. This setting has no effect on text or vector-based graphics.
Using glossy paper in combination with this setting provides the maximum enhancement.

●

Select AdobeRGB for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. For
example, some digital cameras capture images in AdobeRGB, and documents that are produced
with Adobe PhotoShop use the AdobeRGB color space. When printing from a professional software
program that uses AdobeRGB, it is important that you turn off the color management in the software
program and allow the product software to manage the color space.

146 Chapter 10 Use color

ENWW

Match colors
The process of matching product output color to your computer screen is quite complex because printers
and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by light pixels
using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black) process.
Several factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your monitor. These factors
include:
●

Paper

●

Printer colorants (inks or toners for example)

●

Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology for example)

●

Overhead lighting

●

Personal differences in perception of color

●

Software programs

●

Printer drivers

●

Computer operating system

●

Monitors and monitor settings

●

Video cards and drivers

●

Operating environment (humidity for example)

Keep the above factors in mind when colors on your screen do not perfectly match your printed colors.
For most users, the best method for matching colors on your screen to your product is to print sRGB
colors.

Sample book color matching
The process for matching product output to preprinted sample books and standard color references is
complex. In general, you can obtain a reasonably good match to a sample book if the inks used to create
the sample book are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are usually referred to as process color
sample books.
Some sample books are created from spot colors. Spot colors are specially created colorants. Many of
these spot colors are outside of the range of the product. Most spot color sample books have companion
process sample books that provide CMYK approximations to the spot color.
Most process sample books will state which process standards were used to print the sample book. In
most cases they will be SWOP, EURO, or DIC. To get optimal color matching to the process sample
book, select the corresponding ink emulation from the product menu. If you cannot identify the process
standard, use SWOP ink emulation.

Printing color samples
To use the color samples, select the color sample that is the closest match to the desired color. Use the
sample’s color value in your software program to describe the object you wish to match. Colors may

ENWW

Match colors 147

vary depending on paper type and the software program used. For more details on how to use the color
samples, go to www.hp.com.
Use the following procedure to print color samples at the product using the control panel:
1.

Touch Administration and then touch Information.

2.

Touch Sample pages/fonts and then touch CMYK samples or RGB samples to print the samples.

PANTONE® color matching
PANTONE has multiple color matching systems. PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® is very popular
and uses solid inks to generate a wide range of color hues and tints. See www.hp.com for details on
how to use PANTONE Colors with this product.
NOTE: PANTONE Colors generated might not match PANTONE-identified standards. Consult current
PANTONE Publications for accurate color.

HP ImageREt 4800
HP ImageREt 4800 print technology is a system of innovative technologies developed exclusively by
HP to deliver superior print quality. The HP ImageREt system sets itself apart from the industry by
integrating technology advancements and optimizing each element of the print system. Several
categories of HP ImageREt have been developed for a variety of user needs.
The system uses key color-laser technologies, including image enhancements, smart supplies, and
high-resolution imaging, to provide superior images for general office documents and marketing
collateral. Optimized for printing on HP color laser high-gloss papers, HP Image REt 4800 provides
superior results on all supported paper, and under a variety of environmental conditions.

Paper selection
For the best color and image quality, it is important to select the appropriate paper type from the product
menu or from the front panel.

sRGB
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard originally developed by HP and Microsoft
as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners, digital cameras), and output devices
(products, printers, plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating
systems, the Web, and most office software sold today. sRGB is representative of the typical Windows
computer monitor today and the convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE: Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room’s lighting can affect the appearance
of colors on your screen.
The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop, CorelDRAW™, Microsoft Office, and many other software
programs use sRGB to communicate color. Most importantly, as the default color space in Microsoft
operating systems, sRGB has gained broad adoption as a means to exchange color information between
software programs and devices using a common definition that assures typical users will experience
greatly improved color matching. sRGB improves your ability to match colors between the product, the
computer monitor, and other input devices (scanner, digital camera) automatically, without the need to
become a color expert.

Print in four colors — CMYK
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) are the inks used by a printing press. The process is often
called four-color printing. CMYK data files are typically used by and originate from graphic arts (printing
and publishing) environments. The product will accept CMYK colors through the PS printer driver. The
product color-rendering of CMYK is designed to provide rich, saturated colors for text and graphics.

CMYK ink set emulation (HP postscript level 3 emulation)
The product color rendering of CMYK can be made to emulate several standard offset press ink sets.
In some situations, the CMYK color values in an image or document might not be suited to the product.
For example, a document might be optimized for another product. For best results, the CMYK values

Change the copy-collation setting
You can set the device to automatically collate multiple copies into sets. For example, if you are making
two copies of three pages and the automatic collation is on, the pages print in this order: 1,2,3,1,2,3. If
automatic collation is off, the pages print in this order: 1,1,2,2,3,3.
To use the automatic collation, the original document size must fit into the memory. If it does not, the
device makes only one copy and a message appears notifying you of the change. If that happens, use
one of the following methods to finish the job:
●

Split the job into smaller jobs that contain fewer pages.

●

Make only one copy of the document at a time.

●

Turn off the automatic collation.

The collation setting you select is in effect for all copies until you change the setting. The default setting
for automatic copy collation is On.

The product offers color-scanning and digital-sending capabilities. By using the control panel, you can
scan black-and-white or color documents and send them to an e-mail address as an e-mail attachment.
To use digital sending, the product must be connected to a local area network (LAN).
NOTE: The e-mail icon is not shown on the control panel if e-mail is not configured.
Before you can send a document to e-mail, you must configure the product.
NOTE: The instructions that follow are for configuring the product at the control panel. You can also
perform these procedures by using the embedded Web server. For more information, see
Embedded Web server on page 178.

Supported protocols
The HP Color LaserJet CM6049f MFP supports Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
SMTP
●

SMTP is a set of rules that define the interaction between programs that send and receive e-mail.
In order for the device to send documents to e-mail, it must be connected to a LAN that has access
to an e-mail server that supports SMTP. The SMTP server must also have Internet access.

●

If you are using a LAN connection, contact your system administrator to obtain the IP address or
host name for your SMTP server. If you are connecting through a DSL or cable connection, contact
the internet service provider to obtain the SMTP server IP address.

●

LDAP is used to gain access to a database of information. When the device uses LDAP, it searches
a global list of e-mail addresses. As you begin to type the e-mail address, LDAP uses an autocomplete feature that supplies a list of e-mail addresses that match the characters you type. As
you type additional characters, the list of matching e-mail addresses becomes smaller.

●

The device supports LDAP, but a connection to an LDAP server is not required in order for the
device to be able to send to e-mail.

LDAP

NOTE: If you need to change the LDAP settings, you must change them by using the embedded
Web server. For more information, see Embedded Web server on page 178, or see the Embedded
Web Server User Guide.

Perform basic e-mail functions
The product e-mail feature offers the following benefits:
●

Sends documents to multiple e-mail addresses, saving time and delivery costs.

●

Delivers files in black-and-white or in color. Files can be sent in different file formats that the
recipient can manipulate.

With e-mail, documents are scanned into the product memory and sent to an e-mail address or multiple
addresses as an e-mail attachment. Digital documents can be sent in several graphics formats, such
as .TFF and .JPG, which allows recipients to manipulate the document file in various programs to meet
their specific needs. Documents arrive in near-original quality, and then can be printed, stored, or
forwarded.
In order to use the e-mail feature, the product needs to be connected to a valid SMTP local area network
that includes Internet access.

Load documents
You can scan a document by using either the glass or the ADF. The glass and ADF can accommodate
Letter-, Executive-, A4-, and A5-size originals. The ADF can also accommodate Legal-size originals.
Smaller originals, receipts, irregular and worn documents, stapled documents, previously folded
documents, and photographs should be scanned by using the glass. Multiple-page documents can be
scanned easily by using the ADF.

Send documents
The product scans both black-and-white and color originals. You can use default settings or change the
scanning preferences and file formats. The following are the default settings:
●

Color

●

PDF (requires the recipient to have an Adobe Acrobat viewer to view the e-mail attachment)

Perform basic e-mail functions 165

Use the auto-complete function
When you type characters into the To:, CC:, or From: fields on the Send E-mail screen, the autocomplete function is activated. As you type the required address or name by using the keyboard screen,
the device automatically searches the address book list and completes the address or name by using
the first match. You can then select that name by touching Enter, or continue typing the name until autocomplete finds the correct entry. If you type a character that does not match any entry in the list, the
auto-complete text is removed from the display to indicate that you are typing an address that is not in
the address book.

When the analog fax accessory is installed, the product can function as a standalone fax machine.
The HP Color LaserJet CM6049f comes with a fax accessory already installed. Specifications for the
Analog Fax Accessory are available in the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 300 User Guide. The
Analog Fax Accessory 300 Fax Guide and the Analog Fax Accessory 300 Send Fax Driver Guide are
also located at www.hp.com/go/mfpfaxaccessory300.

Connect the fax accessory to a phone line
When connecting the fax accessory to a phone line, ensure that the phone line being used for the fax
accessory is a dedicated line that is not used by any other devices. Also, this line should be an analog
line because the fax will not function correctly if it is connected to some digital PBX systems. If you are
not sure whether you have an analog or digital phone line, contact your telecom provider.
NOTE: HP recommends using the phone cord that comes with the fax accessory to ensure that the
accessory functions correctly.
Follow these instructions to connect the fax accessory to a phone jack.
1.

Locate the phone cord that is included with the fax accessory kit. Connect one end of the phone
cord into the fax accessory phone jack that is on the formatter. Push the connector until it clicks.

CAUTION: Be sure to connect the phone line to the fax accessory port, which is located in the
center of the formatter. Do not connect the phone line to the HP Jetdirect port, which is nearer the
bottom of the formatter.
2.

Connect the other end of the phone cord into the phone jack on the wall. Push the connector until
it clicks or until it is securely seated. Because different types of connectors are used in different
countries/regions, the connector might not make an audible click.

Configure and use the fax features
Before you can use the fax features, you must configure them in the control-panel menus. For complete
information about configuring and using the fax accessory, and for information about troubleshooting
problems with the fax accessory, see the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 300 User Guide. This
guide is provided with the fax accessory.

Secure the embedded Web server
Assign a password for access to the embedded Web server so that unauthorized users cannot change
the product settings.
1.

Open the embedded Web server. See Embedded Web server on page 178.

Click the Settings tab.

Click Apply. Make note of the password and store it in a safe place.

Secure Disk Erase
To protect deleted data from unauthorized access on the product hard drive, use the Secure Disk Erase
feature. This feature can securely erase print and copy jobs from the hard drive.
Secure Disk Erase offers the following levels of disk security:
●

Non-Secure Fast Erase. This is a simple file-table erase function. Access to the file is removed,
but actual data is retained on the disk until it is overwritten by subsequent data-storage operations.
This is the fastest mode. Non-Secure Fast Erase is the default erase mode.

●

Secure Fast Erase. Access to the file is removed, and the data is overwritten with a fixed identical
character pattern. This is slower than Non-Secure Fast Erase, but all data is overwritten. Secure
Fast Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M requirements for the clearing of disk
media.

●

Secure Sanitizing Erase. This level is similar to the Secure Fast Erase mode. In addition, data is
repetitively overwritten by using an algorithm that prevents any residual data persistence. This
mode will impact performance. Secure Sanitizing Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense
5220-22.M requirements for the sanitization of disk media.

Data affected
Data affected (covered) by the Secure Disk Erase feature includes temporary files that are created
during the print and copying process, stored jobs, proof and hold jobs, disk-based fonts, disk-based
macros (forms), stored fax files, address books, and HP and third-party applications.
NOTE: Stored jobs will be securely overwritten only when they have been deleted through the
Retrieve Job menu on the product after the appropriate erase mode has been set.
This feature will not impact data that is stored on flash-based product non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) that
is used to store default settings, page counts, and similar data. This feature does not affect data that is
stored on a system RAM disk (if one is used). This feature does not impact data that is stored on the
flash-based system boot RAM.
Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode does not overwrite previous data on the disk, nor does it
immediately perform a full-disk sanitization. Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode changes how the
product cleans up temporary data for jobs after the erase mode has been changed.

Calibrate the scanner
Calibrate the scanner to compensate for offsets in the scanner imaging system (carriage head) for ADF
and flatbed scans. Because of mechanical tolerances, the scanner's carriage head might not read the
position of the image accurately. During the calibration procedure, scanner offset values are calculated
and stored. The offset values are then used when producing scans so that the correct portion of the
document is captured.
Scanner calibration should be carried out only if you notice offset problems with the scanned images.
The scanner is calibrated before it leaves the factory. It needs to be calibrated again only rarely.
Before calibrating the scanner, print the calibration target.

ENWW Solving general problems 219 Control-panel message types Four types of control-panel messages can indicate the status of or problems with the device. Message type Description Status messages Status messages reflect the current state of the device. They inform you of normal device operation and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the device changes. Whenever the device is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message Ready appears if the device is online. Warning messages Warning messages inform you of data and print errors. These messages typically alternate with the Ready or status messages and remain until you touch OK. Some warning messages are clearable. If Clearable Warnings is set to Job on the device Device Behavior menu, the next print job clears these messages. Error messages Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding paper or clearing a jam. Some error messages are auto-continuable. If Auto-Continue is set on the menus, the device will continue normal operation after an auto-continuable error message appears for 10 seconds. NOTE: Pressing any button during the 10-second auto-continuable error message overrides the auto-continue feature, and the button function takes precedence. For example, pressing the Stop button pauses printing and offers the option to cancel the print job. Critical-error messages Critical error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by turning the device off and then on. These messages are not affected by the Auto-Continue setting. If a critical error persists, service is required. 220 Chapter 15 Solve problems ENWW Control-panel messages The product provides robust control panel messaging.

Often print quality problems can be handled easily by making sure that the product is properly maintained, using print media that meets HP specifications, or running a cleaning page. Example print quality problems Some print quality problems arise from use of inappropriate paper. ● Use paper that meets HP paper specifications. ● The surface of the paper is too rough. Use paper that meets HP paper specifications. ● The printer driver setting or paper tray setting might be incorrect. Be sure that you have configured the paper tray at the product control panel and have also selected the correct driver setting for the paper that you are using. ● The print mode might be set incorrectly, or the paper might not meet recommended specifications. ● The transparencies you are using are not designed for proper toner adhesion. Use only transparencies designed for HP Color LaserJet products. ● The moisture content of the paper is uneven, too high, or too low. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream of paper. ● Some areas of the paper reject toner. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream of paper. ● The letterhead you are using is printed on rough paper. Use a smoother, xerographic paper. If this solves your problem, consult with the printer of your letterhead to verify that the paper used meets the specifications for this product. ● Several optimize print modes can be used to address print quality issues. See Print Quality menu on page 48. Repetitive defects ruler If defects repeat at regular intervals on the page, use this ruler to identify the cause of the defect.

If you continue to see ghost images on your print jobs, set the Fuser Temp feature to one of the Alternate settings . Try the Alternate 1 setting first and see if it solves the problem. If you continue to see the problem, try Alternate 2 and then Alternate 3. With the Alternate 2 and Alternate 3 settings you may see an extra delay between jobs. ● Light Media: Set this feature to On if you are frequently seeing Fuser Delay Jam or Fuser Wrap Jam messages, especially when printing on light-weight paper or on jobs with heavy toner coverage. ● Media Temp: Set this feature to Reduced if you are having problems with paper sticking together in the output bin. ● Environment: Enable this feature if the product is operating in a low temperature environment and you are having problems with print quality such as blisters in the printed image. ● Line Voltage: Enable this feature if the product is operating in a low voltage environment and you are having problems with print quality such as blisters in the printed image. ● Background: Turn this feature on if pages are printing with a shaded background. Using this feature can reduce gloss levels. ● Paper Curl: Set this feature to Reduced if excessive curling of paper in the output bin occurs. This setting will reduce printing speed and increase the frequency of consumable replacement. ● Pre-rotation: Turn this feature on if horizontal streaks appear on pages. Using this feature increases the warm-up time for the device. ● Tray 1: If you are seeing marks on the back side of the paper or extra toner on pages when printing from Tray 1, set the mode to Alternate. When the mode is set to Alternate a cleaning cycle will be performed after each job that is printed from Tray 1. Using Alternate mode increase wear on all the print cartridges. ● Tracking Control: This setting should always be set to On. ● Cleaning Frequency = Normal/Alternate: Set this feature to Alternate if you are seeing defects in the printed output that repeat at 38 mm (1.5 inch) intervals. This feature increases the frequency at which the C roller is cleaned. Setting this feature to Alternate might also reduce printing speed and increase the frequency of consumable replacement. ● D-Blade Bias = Normal/Alternate: Set this feature to Alternate if you are seeing short, white, vertical lines in the printed output. The Alternate setting might also cause dark spots in the printed output, so be sure to test this setting on a few print jobs. ● Waste Bin = Normal/Alternate: Try setting this feature to Alternate if you are seeing lengthwise toner streaks in your printed output, especially in jobs with low toner coverage. ● Discharge Brush = Off/On: Enable this feature in low temperature and low humidity environments if you are seeing specks of toner scattered on double-sided jobs using lightweight paper and longer than ten pages. 264 Chapter 15 Solve problems ENWW Print-quality-troubleshooting pages Use the built-in print-quality-troubleshooting pages to help diagnose and solve print-quality problems. 1.

ENWW Environmental product stewardship program 289 Certificate of volatility This is a statement regarding the volatility of customer data stored in memory. It also outlines how to erase secure data from the device. Types of memory Volatile memory The MFP utilizes volatile memory (64MB on the board and 256MB installed, for a total of 320MB) to store customer data during the printing and copying process. When the MFP is powered off, this volatile memory is erased. Non-volatile memory The MFP utilizes non-volatile memory (EEPROM) to store system control data and user preference settings. No customer print or copy data is stored in non-volatile memory. This non-volatile memory can be cleared and restored to factory defaults by performing a Cold Reset or Restore Factory Defaults from the control panel. Hard-disk-drive memory The MFP contains an internal hard disk drive (40GB or larger) that may retain data after the MFP is powered off. The MFP also may contain additional optional compact flash storage, or an external EIO hard disk. Data stored in these devices may be from incoming/outgoing fax or email files, stored copy or print jobs, fax or email address books, or third-party solutions. Some of this data can be erased from the control panel of the MFP, but most must be erased using the Secure Storage Erase features available within HP Web Jetadmin. Secure Storage Erase features comply with U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) specification 5220–22.M. 290 Appendix C Regulatory information ENWW 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.
