REt does not affect print quality if the

resolutions benefit from REt.
EconoMode is a feature that allows the
product to use less toner per page.
Selecting this option extends the life of the
toner supply and might reduce the cost
per page. However, it also reduces print
quality. The printed page is adequate for
printing drafts.
HP does not recommend full-time use of
EconoMode. If EconoMode is used fulltime, the toner supply might 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.

Configure trays
NOTE: If you have used other HP LaserJet product models, you might be accustomed to configuring
Tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. For this product, setting TRAY 1 SIZE to the ANY SIZE setting
and setting TRAY 1 TYPE to ANY TYPE is equivalent to First mode. Setting TRAY 1 SIZE and TRAY 1
TYPE to any other settings is equivalent to Cassette mode.
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 paper 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 press OK. To accept settings press .
NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1, and it is configured for the ANY
SIZE and ANY TYPE settings.

Select the paper by source, type, or size
Three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull paper 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 paper for your job before printing it. When you load the tray, the product begins printing.

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 paper. Selecting paper by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays
and helps protect special paper 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 is loaded with plain paper and is configured for plain paper on the product control panel.
Selecting paper by type and size results in significantly better print quality for most paper types. 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.

88

●

To print by type or size, select the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog
box, or the Print Properties dialog box, depending on the software program.

●

If you often print on a certain type or size of paper, configure a tray for that type or size. Then, when
you select that type or size as you print a job, the product automatically pulls paper from the tray
that is configured for that type or size.

Chapter 6 Paper and print media

ENWW

Use paper output options
Print to the top (standard) output bin
The top output bin collects paper face-down, in the correct order. The top output bin should be used for
most print jobs, including transparencies. To use the top output bin, be sure that the rear output bin is
closed. To avoid jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.

1

Print to the rear output bin
The product always prints to the rear output bin if it is open. Paper that is printed to this bin will exit faceup, with the last page on top (reverse order).
Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest path. Opening the rear output bin
might improve performance with the following items:
●

Envelopes

●

Labels

●

Small custom-size paper

●

Postcards

●

Paper heavier than 120 g/m2 (32 lb)

To open the rear output bin, grasp the handle at the top of the bin. Pull the bin down to a 45° angle, and
slide out the extension.

Opening the rear output bin makes the duplexer and the top output bin unavailable. To avoid jams, do
not open or close the rear output bin while the product is printing.

EconoMode
This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use
less toner and decrease the cost per page. However, using EconoMode can also reduce print quality.
HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply
might 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.
Enable or disable EconoMode in any of these ways:

At the product control panel, select the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu, and then select the PRINT

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

ENWW

●

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.

Use security features 117

Data affected
Data affected by the Secure Disk Erase feature includes temporary files that are created during the print
process, stored jobs, proof and hold jobs, disk-based fonts, disk-based macros (forms), 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.

Additional Information
For additional information about the HP Secure Disk Erase feature, see the HP support flyer or go to
www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.

HP Encrypted High Performance hard disks
This product supports an optional encrypted hard disk that you can install in the EIO accessory slot.
This hard disk provides hardware-based encryption so you can securely store sensitive data without
impacting product performance. This hard disk uses the latest Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
and has versatile time-saving features and robust functionality.
For information about ordering these accessories, see Part numbers on page 201.

Hardware integration pocket
The product has a hardware integration pocket in which you can install a third-party security device. The
pocket is on top of the product, behind the control panel. You can connect the third-party device to the
product by using one of the internal USB ports.
NOTE: The hardware integration pocket is not included with the base model.

Secure stored jobs
You can protect jobs that are stored on the product by assigning a PIN to them. Anyone who tries to
print these protected jobs must first enter the PIN at the product control panel.

Manage supplies
Use genuine HP print cartridges for the best printing results.

Print-cartridge storage
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few
minutes.

HP policy on non-HP print cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP print cartridges, either new or
remanufactured.
NOTE: Any damage caused by a non-HP print cartridge is not covered under the HP warranty and
service agreements.
To install a new HP print cartridge, see Change the print cartridge on page 122. To recycle the used
cartridge, follow the instructions included with the new cartridge. For more information about recycling,
see Return and recycling instructions on page 218.

HP fraud hotline and Web site
Call the HP fraud hotline (1-877-219-3183, toll-free in North America) or go to www.hp.com/go/
anticounterfeit when you install an HP print cartridge and the control-panel message says the cartridge
is non-HP. HP will help determine if the cartridge is genuine and take steps to resolve the problem.
Your print cartridge might not be a genuine HP print cartridge if you notice the following:
●

You are experiencing a high number of problems with the print cartridge.

●

The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the orange pull tab is missing, or the
packaging differs from HP packaging).

Replace supplies and parts
Supply replacement guidelines
Keep the following guidelines in mind when setting up the product.
●

Provide enough space above and in the front of the product for removing supplies.

●

Place the product on a flat, sturdy surface.

Change the print cartridge
When a print cartridge reaches the end of its estimated useful life, the control panel displays a BLACK
CARTRIDGE VERY LOW message. You do not need to replace the supply at this time unless print
quality is no longer acceptable. When the supply has reached this condition, the HP premium protection
warranty for that supply has ended.
The cartridge-life remaining is an approximation only, and it varies depending on the types of documents
you print and other factors.
You can configure the product to stop when the BLACK CARTRIDGE VERY LOW message displays.
The print cartridge might still be able to produce acceptable print quality. To continue printing, either
replace the supply or use the MANAGE SUPPLIES menu to reconfigure the product to continue printing.
For more information, see Manage supplies menu on page 20.
CAUTION: If toner gets on clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothes in cold water. Hot
water sets toner into fabric.
NOTE: Information about recycling used print cartridges is on the print-cartridge box. See Return and
recycling instructions on page 218.

For complete paper specifications for all HP LaserJet products, see the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. This guide is available at www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide. The product is jammed.1 Cause Solution The paper does not meet specifications. Use only paper that meets HP specifications. See Paper and print media on page 73. A component is installed incorrectly. Verify that all components are correctly installed. You are using paper that has already passed through a product or copier. Do not use paper that has been previously printed on or copied. A tray is loaded incorrectly. Remove any excess paper from the tray. Make sure that the stack is below the maximum stack height mark in the tray. See Load trays on page 81. The paper is skewed. The tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust them so they hold the stack firmly in place without bending it. The paper is binding or sticking together. Remove the paper, flex it, rotate it 180°, or flip it over. Reload the paper into the tray. NOTE: Do not fan paper. Fanning can create static electricity, which can cause paper to stick together. 1 The paper is removed before it settles into the output bin. Reset the product. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it. During two-sided printing, you removed the paper before the second side of the document was printed. Reset the product and print the document again. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it. The paper is in poor condition. Replace the paper. The internal rollers from the tray are not picking up the paper. Remove the top sheet of paper. If the paper is too heavy, it might not be picked from the tray. The paper has rough or jagged edges. Replace the paper. The paper is perforated or embossed. Perforated or embossed paper does not separate easily. Feed single sheets from Tray 1. Product supply items have reached the end of their useful life. Check the product control panel for messages alerting you of supplies status, or print a supplies status page to verify the remaining life of the supplies. See Print the information and show-me-how pages on page 108. Paper was not stored correctly. Replace the paper in the trays.

The guides in the tray are not against the paper. Verify that the guides are touching the paper. Transparencies or glossy paper will not feed Transparencies or glossy paper will not feed ENWW Cause Solution The correct paper type is not specified in the software or printer driver. Verify that the correct paper type is selected in the software or printer driver. The input tray is overfilled. Remove excess paper from the input tray. Do not exceed the maximum stack height marks for the tray. Paper in another input tray is the same size as the transparencies, and the product is defaulting to the other tray. Make sure that the input tray containing the transparencies or glossy paper is selected in the software program or printer driver. Use the product control panel to configure the tray to the paper type loaded. The tray containing the transparencies or glossy paper is not configured correctly for type. Make sure that the input tray containing the transparencies or glossy paper is selected in the software program or printer driver. Use the product control panel to configure the tray to the paper type loaded. Transparencies or glossy paper might not meet supported paper specifications. Use only paper that meets the HP paper specifications for this product. High-humidity environments may cause glossy paper not to feed, or to feed too many sheets. Avoid printing glossy paper in high humidity conditions. When printing glossy paper, removing the paper from the wrapper and letting it rest for a few hours can improve feeding into the product. However, letting paper rest in humid environments may also cause blisters.

Paper-handling problems 181 Solve print-quality problems You can prevent most print-quality problems by following these guidelines. ● Configure the trays for the correct paper-type setting. See Configure trays on page 87. ● Use paper that meets HP specifications. See Paper and print media on page 73. ● Clean the product as necessary. See Clean the paper path on page 137. Print-quality problems associated with paper Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications. ● The surface of the paper is too smooth. ● The moisture content of the paper is uneven, too high, or too low. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream. ● Some areas of the paper reject toner. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream. ● The letterhead you are using is printed on rough paper. Use a smoother, xerographic paper. If this solves your problem, ask the supplier of your letterhead to use paper that meets HP specifications. ● The paper is excessively rough. Use a smoother, xerographic paper. ● The paper is too heavy for the paper-type setting that you selected, so the toner is not fusing to the paper. For complete paper specifications for all HP LaserJet products, see the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. This guide is available at www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide. Print-quality problems associated with the environment If the product is operating in excessively humid or dry conditions, verify that the printing environment is within specifications. See Operating environment on page 214. Print-quality problems associated with jams Make sure that all sheets are cleared from the paper path. See Jam recovery on page 176. ● If the product recently jammed, print two to three pages to clean the paper path. ● If the sheets do not pass through the fuser and cause image defects on subsequent documents, print two to three pages to clean the paper path. If the problem persists, print and process a cleaning page. See Clean the paper path on page 137. 182 Chapter 10 Solve problems ENWW Image defect examples These examples identify the most common print-quality problems.

Rev. 11/06 ENWW End User License Agreement 207 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. 208 Appendix B Service and support ENWW Customer support Get telephone support, free during your warranty period, for your country/region Country/region phone numbers are on the flyer that was in the box with your product or at www.hp.com/support/.

A print cartridge that remains in the product during shipping can leak and cover the product engine and other parts with toner. To prevent damage to the print cartridge, avoid touching the roller on it, and store the print cartridge in its original packing material or so that it is not exposed to light. 3. Remove and retain the power cable, interface cable, and optional accessories, such as an EIO card. 4.
