Hewlett-Packard is committed to providing quality products in an environmentally sound
manner. Design for recycling has been incorporated into this product. For more
information, see Environmental product stewardship program
HP is committed to helping customers reduce their environmental footprint. HP has
provided these features to help you focus on ways to assess and reduce the impact of
your printing choices.
For more information about HP's environmental initiatives, visit www.hp.com/hpinfo/
globalcitizenship/environment/.

Manage power
To conserve electricity, the printer comes with the following features:
Sleep mode
Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup of printer, the printer will
enter Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity.
To change the setting, complete the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Open the EWS. For more information, see Embedded web server.
Click the Settings tab.
In the Preferences section, click Energy Save Mode and select the desired option.
Click Apply.

Auto Power-Off
Auto Power-Off is automatically enabled by default when you turn on the printer. When
Auto Power-Off is enabled, the printer will automatically turn off after 8 hours of inactivity
to help reduce energy use. Auto Power-Off is automatically disabled when the printer
establishes a network connection. You can change the Auto Power-Off setting from the
printer software. Once you change the setting, the printer will maintain the setting that
you choose. Auto Power-Off turns the printer off completely, so you must use the power
button to turn the printer back on.
Windows: Open Toolbox. (For more information, see Toolbox (Windows).) In the
Advanced Settings tab, click Change, and then select the preferred amount of time.
Mac OS X: Open HP Utility. (For more information, see HP Utility (Mac OS X).) In the
Printer Settings section, click Power Management, and then select the preferred
amount of time.
TIP: If you are printing through an Ethernet connection over a network, Auto PowerOff should be disabled to ensure that print jobs do not get lost. Even when Auto PowerOff is disabled, the printer will enter a Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help
reduce energy use.

Chapter 1

NOTE: The printer’s Sleep Mode and Auto Power-Off features are temporarily not
available if one or more of the ink cartridges are missing. After the cartridge is
reinstalled, these features resume.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as
possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the
ink system. Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.

Conserve printing supplies
To conserve printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:
•
•

Change the print mode to a draft setting. Draft setting uses less ink.
Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the
cartridges.
Reduce paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. If the printer has an
automatic two-sided printing accessory (duplexer), see Print on both sides
(duplexing). Otherwise, you can first print just the odd pages, flip the pages over, and
then print just the even pages.

Select print media
The printer is designed to work well with most types of office media. It is best to test
a variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Use HP media for optimum
print quality. Visit the HP website at www.hp.com for more information about HP media.
HP recommends plain papers with the ColorLok logo for printing
and copying of everyday documents. All papers with the ColorLok
logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability
and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color,
bolder blacks and dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Look for
papers with the ColorLok logo in a variety of weights and sizes
from major paper manufacturers.

Tray Lock: Use this feature to protect special media such as letterhead or preprinted
media from accidental use. If the printer runs out of media while printing a document,
it will not use media from a locked tray to complete the print job.
Default Tray: Use this feature to determine the first tray from which the printer draws
media.
NOTE: To use the tray lock and default tray settings, you must select the automatic
tray selection option in the printer software. Also, if the printer is on a network and
you set a default tray, the setting will affect all users of the printer.

Tray 2 is designed to hold only plain paper.

Information on ink cartridges and the printhead
The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
•

The instructions in this user guide are for replacing ink cartridges, and are not
intended for first time installation.

•

CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as
possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to
the ink system. Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.

•
•

Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
Be sure to turn off the printer properly. For more information, see Turn the printer
off.
Store ink cartridges at room temperature (15-35° C or 59-95° F).
Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the
cartridges.
Handle ink cartridges carefully. Dropping, jarring, or rough handling during installation
can cause temporary printing problems.
If you are transporting the printer, do the following to prevent ink leaking from the
printer or other damage from occurring to the printer:
◦ Make sure you turn off the printer by pressing
(Power). Wait until all sounds of
internal motion stop before unplugging the printer. For more information, see Turn
the printer off.
◦ Make sure you leave the ink cartridges and printhead installed.
◦ The printer must be transported sitting flat; it should not be placed on its side,
back, front, or top.

Work with ink cartridges

Check the estimated ink levels
You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer software or from the printer control
panel. For information about using these tools, see Printer management tools and Use
the printer control panel. You can also print the Printer Status page to view this information
(see Understand the printer status report).
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only.
When you receive a low on ink message, consider having a replacement cartridge
available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink
cartridges until prompted to do so.
NOTE: If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that
has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or
unavailable.
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different
ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges
for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing
smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more
information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.

Print when one or more ink cartridges are depleted
The printer can still operate when the black ink cartridge or one or more color ink
cartridges are depleted, but it will print more slowly. Also, the quality of printed documents
might be affected.
The printer will not be able to print when both the black cartridge and a color cartridge
are depleted.
•

•

If the black cartridge is depleted, any black color in printed documents is created using
a combination of the remaining colors. As a result, blacks might not appear to be as
dark.
If a color cartridge is depleted, the printer will print in grayscale using the black
cartridge.

When possible, replace any depleted ink cartridges. For information about how to install
new ink cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges.
CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer,
the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer is
set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended period
may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If you have
recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period, or if you have had a
recent paper jam, and have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more
information, see Clean the printhead.

Try the following solutions if the printer is printing very slowly.
•
•
•

Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution 3: Contact HP support

Solution 1: Use a lower print quality setting
Solution: Check the print quality setting. Best and Maximum dpi provide the best
quality but are slower than Normal or Draft. Draft provides the fastest print speed.
Cause: The print quality was set to a high setting.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution:

Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.

NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low on ink message, consider having a replacement
cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace
the ink cartridges until prompted to do so.
NOTE: The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However,
printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed
documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color
cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted
cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge
available. For information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the
ink cartridges.
CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer,
the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer
is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended
period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If
you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period and
have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see

Chapter 5

Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink. Insufficient ink may cause the
printhead to overheat. When the printhead overheats, the printer slows down to allow
it to cool.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Contact HP support
Solution:

Contact HP support for service.

Go to: www.hp.com/go/customercare. This website provides information and utilities
that can help you correct many common printer problems.
If prompted, choose your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information
on calling for technical support.
Cause:

There was a problem with the printer.

The printer is making some unexpected noises
You might hear some unexpected noises made by the printer. These are the servicing
sounds when the printer performs automatic servicing functions to maintain the health of
the printheads.
NOTE: To prevent any potential damage to your printer:
Do not turn off the printer while the printer is performing any servicing. If you are
turning off the printer, wait for the printer to come to a complete stop before turning
off using the
(Power) button. See Turn the printer off.
Make sure all ink cartridges are installed. If any of the ink cartridge is missing, the
printer will perform extra servicing to protect the printheads.

Blank or partial page printed
Clean the printhead
Complete the printhead cleaning procedure. For more information, see Clean the
printhead. The printhead may need to be cleaned if the printer was turned off incorrectly.
NOTE: Incorrectly turning off the printer can cause print quality problems like blank
or partial pages. Printhead cleaning can solve these problems, but turning off the
printer correctly can prevent them in the first place. Always turn the printer off by
pressing the
(Power) button on the printer. Wait until the
(Power) light goes out
before unplugging the power cord or turning off a power strip.
Check the media settings
• Make sure you select the correct print quality settings in the printer driver for the media
loaded in the trays.
• Make sure the page settings in the printer driver match the page size of media loaded
in the tray.

More than one page is being picked
For more information on paper-feed problems, see Solve paper-feed problems.
There is a blank page in the file
Check the file to make sure there is no blank page.

Something on the page is missing or incorrect
Check the Print Quality Diagnostic page
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic page to help you decide whether to run any maintenance
tools to improve the print quality of your printouts. For more information, see Print quality
troubleshooting.
To print and evaluate the Print Quality Diagnostic page, hold down the (Power) button,
press the (Cancel) button seven times, press the (Resume) button two times, and
then release the
(Power) button.
Check the margin settings
Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the
printer. For more information, see Set minimum margins.
Check the color print settings
Make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected in the printer driver.
Check the printer location and length of USB cable
High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes
cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the
electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less than
3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.

Placement of the text or graphics is wrong
Check how the media is loaded
Make sure the media width and length guides fit snugly against the edges of the stack of
media, and make sure the tray is not overloaded. For more information, see Load
media.
Check the media size
• Content on a page might be cut off if the document size is larger than the media that
you are using.
• Make sure the media size selected in the printer driver match the size of media loaded
in the tray.
Check the margin settings
If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure the margin settings
for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer. For more information,
see Set minimum margins.

period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If
you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period and
have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see
Clean the printhead.
For more information, see:
Check the estimated ink levels
Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Check the paper loaded in the input tray
Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too
thick.
• Load paper with the print side facing down. For example, if you are loading glossy
photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.
• Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled. If the paper is
too close to the printhead during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can
happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope.
For more information, see:
Load media.
Cause: The paper was loaded incorrectly, or it was wrinkled or too thick.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 4: Check the paper type
Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type with
ColorLok technology that is appropriate for the printer. All papers with the ColorLok

logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality,
and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks and dry faster than
ordinary plain papers.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing
images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.
Store specialty media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a
flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper
you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused
photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from curling.
NOTE: For this issue, there is not a problem with your ink supplies. Therefore,
replacing the ink cartridges is not necessary.
For more information, see:
Select print media
Cause:

The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 5: Check the print settings
Solution: Check the print settings.
• Check the print settings to see if the color settings are incorrect.
For example, check to see if the document is set to print in grayscale. Or, check
to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are
set to modify the appearance of colors.
• Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded
in the printer.
You might need to choose a lower print quality setting if colors are running into
each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo,
and then make sure photo paper such as HP Advanced Photo Paper is loaded in
the input tray.
NOTE: On some computer screens, colors might appear differently than they do
when printed on paper. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the printer, print
settings, or ink cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required.
For more information, see:

A: Make sure the printer is on the network
1. If the printer supports Ethernet networking and is connected to an Ethernet network,
make sure an Ethernet cable is not plugged into the back of the printer. If an Ethernet
cable is plugged into the back, then wireless connectivity is disabled.
2. If the printer is connected to a wireless network, print the network configuration page.
For more information, see Understand the network configuration page.
3. After the page has been printed, check the Network Status and URL:
Network Status

•
•

URL

If the Network Status is Ready, the printer
is actively connected to a network.
If the Network Status is Offline, the printer
is not connected to a network. Run the
Wireless Network Test (using the
instructions at the beginning of this
section) and follow any
recommendations.

The URL shown here is the network address
assigned to the printer by your router. You
need this to connect to the embedded web
server (EWS).

For information about connecting the printer to a wireless network, see Set up the
printer for wireless communication.
B: Check to see if you can access the EWS
▲ After you establish that the computer and the printer both have active connections to
a network, you can verify if they are on the same network by opening the printer's
EWS. For more information, see Embedded web server.
To access the EWS
a. On your computer, open the EWS. For more information, see Embedded web

NOTE: If you are using a proxy server in your browser, you might need to
disable it to access the EWS.
b. If you can open the EWS, try using the printer over the network (such as to print)
to see if your network setup was successful.
c. If you cannot open the EWS or are still having problems using the printer over the
network, continue to the next section regarding firewalls.
Step 3: Check to see if the firewall software is blocking communication
If you cannot access the EWS and are sure both the computer and printer have active
connections to the same network, the firewall security software might be blocking
communication. Temporarily turn off any firewall security software running on your
computer and then try to open the EWS again. If you can open the EWS, try using the
printer (for printing).
If you are able to open the EWS and use your printer with the firewall turned off, you need
to reconfigure your firewall settings to allow the computer and printer to communicate

with each other over the network. For more information, see Configure your firewall
software to work with the printer.
If you are able to open the EWS, but are still unable to use the printer even with the firewall
turned off, try enabling the firewall software to recognize the printer. For more information,
see the documentation provided with your firewall software.
Step 4: Make sure the printer is online and ready
If you have the HP software installed, you can check the printer’s status from your
computer to see if the printer is paused or offline, preventing you from using it.

you have difficulties printing or connecting to the printer, make sure the correct version
of the printer driver is set as the default.
1. Click Start, and then click Printers or Printers and Faxes or Devices and
Printers.
- Or Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Printers.
2. Determine if the version of the printer driver in the Printers or Printers and Faxes
or Devices and Printers folder is connected wirelessly:
a. Right-click the printer icon, and then click Properties, Document Defaults, or
Printing Preferences.
b. On the Ports tab, look for a port in the list with a checkmark. The version of the
printer driver that is connected wirelessly has HP network re-discovery port
monitor as the Port description, next to the checkmark.
3. Right-click the printer icon for the version of the printer driver that is connected
wirelessly, and select Set as Default Printer.
NOTE: If there is more than one icon in the folder for the printer, right-click the printer
icon for the version of the printer driver that is connected wirelessly, and select Set
as Default Printer.
Step 6: Make sure your computer is not connected to your network over a Virtual
Private Network (VPN)
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a computer network that uses the Internet to provide
a remote, secure connection to an organization’s network. However, most VPN services
do not allow you to access local devices (like your printer) on your local network while
your computer is connected to the VPN.
To connect to the printer, disconnect from the VPN.
TIP: To use the printer while connected to the VPN, you can connect the printer to
your computer with a USB cable. The printer uses its USB and network connections
at the same time.
For more information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the
wireless network.

After resolving the problems
After you resolve any problems and have successfully connected the printer to your
wireless network, complete the following steps for your operating system:
Windows
1. On the computer desktop, click Start, select Programs or All Programs, click HP,
select your printer name, and then click Printer Setup & Software.
2. Click Connect a new printer, and then select the type of connection you want to use.

1. Open HP Utility. For more information, see HP Utility (Mac OS X).
2. Click the Applications icon on the toolbar, double-click HP Setup Assistant, and
then follow the onscreen instructions.

Configure your firewall software to work with the printer
A personal firewall, which is security software running on your computer, can block
network communication between your printer and your computer.
If you are having problems such as:
•
•
•

Printer not found when installing HP software
Unable to print, print job stuck in queue or printer goes offline
Unable to see printer status on your computer

The firewall might be preventing your printer from notifying computers on your network
where it can be found.
If you are using the HP software on a computer running Windows and cannot find the
printer during installation (and you know the printer is on the network)—or if you have
already successfully installed HP software and experience problems—check the
following:
•
•

•
•
•
•

•

If you have just installed the HP software, try turning off your computer and the printer,
and then turning them both on again.
Keep your security software up to date. Many security software vendors provide
updates that correct known issues and provide the latest defenses against new
security threats.
If your firewall has "High", "Medium", or "Low" security settings, use the "Medium"
setting when your computer is connected to your network.
If you have changed any firewall settings from default, try going back to the default
setting.
If your firewall has a setting called "trusted zone", use this setting when your computer
is connected to your network.
If your firewall has a setting to "not show alert messages", you should disable this.
When installing the HP software and using the HP printer you may see alert messages
from your firewall software that provide options to "allow", "permit" or "unblock". You
should allow any HP software that causes an alert. Also, if the alert has a "remember
this action" or "create a rule for this" selection, select it. This is how the firewall learns
what can be trusted on your network.
Do not have more than one firewall enabled at the same time on your computer. An
example would be having both the Windows firewall provided by the operating system
and a 3rd party firewall enabled at the same time. Having more than one firewall
enabled at the same time will not make your computer any safer and may cause
problems.

For more information about using your printer with personal firewall software, visit

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
Make sure that you are printing with media that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
Do not use paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer.
Make sure that the trays are loaded correctly and are not too full. For more
information, see Load media.
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack
of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure
the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. For more information, see
Select print media.
If the printer is about to run out of paper, allow the printer to run out of paper first and
then add paper. Do not try to add paper while the printer is trying to pickup a sheet.
If you are printing on both sides of a page, do not print highly saturated images on
light weight paper.
Make sure that the printer is clean. For more information, see Maintain the printer.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page
•

Always use media that conforms to the printer specifications. For more information, see Media
specifications.

•

Specify two-sided printing options in your application or in the printer driver.

•

Do not print on both sides of envelopes, photo paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb
bond (60 g/m2) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/m2). Jams might occur with these media types.

•

Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page.
These include letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes.
When you print from a computer running Windows, the printer prints the first side of the media
first. Load the media with the print side facing down.
For auto-duplexing, when printing finishes on one side of the media, the printer holds the media
and pauses while the ink dries. Once the ink dries, the media is pulled back into the printer and
the second side is printed. When printing is complete, the media is dropped onto the output tray.
Do not grab it before printing is complete.

•

•

You can print on both sides of supported custom-sized media by turning the media over and
feeding it into the printer again. For more information, see Media specifications.

Απόρριψη άχρηστων συσκευών στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση
Το παρόν σύμβολο στον εξοπλισμό ή στη συσκευασία του υποδεικνύει ότι το προϊόν αυτό δεν πρέπει να πεταχτεί μαζί με άλλα οικιακά απορρίμματα. Αντίθετα, ευθύνη σας είναι να
απορρίψετε τις άχρηστες συσκευές σε μια καθορισμένη μονάδα συλλογής απορριμμάτων για την ανακύκλωση άχρηστου ηλεκτρικού και ηλεκτρονικού εξοπλισμού. Η χωριστή συλλογή και
ανακύκλωση των άχρηστων συσκευών θα συμβάλει στη διατήρηση των φυσικών πόρων και στη διασφάλιση ότι θα ανακυκλωθούν με τέτοιον τρόπο, ώστε να προστατεύεται η υγεία των
ανθρώπων και το περιβάλλον. Για περισσότερες πληροφορίες σχετικά με το πού μπορείτε να απορρίψετε τις άχρηστες συσκευές για ανακύκλωση, επικοινωνήστε με τις κατά τόπους αρμόδιες
αρχές ή με το κατάστημα από το οποίο αγοράσατε το προϊόν.

Ez a szimbólum, amely a terméken vagy annak csomagolásán van feltüntetve, azt jelzi, hogy a termék nem kezelhető együtt az egyéb háztartási hulladékkal. Az Ön feladata,

a helyi önkormányzathoz, a háztartási hulladék begyűjtésével foglalkozó vállalathoz vagy a termék forgalmazójához.

•

The printer is not connected to the network using a network cable.

•

The wireless network is set up and functioning correctly.

•

The printer and the computers that use the printer are on the same network (subnet).

While connecting the printer, you might be prompted to enter the wireless network name (SSID) and
a wireless password:
•
The wireless network name is the name of your wireless network.
•

The wireless password prevents other people from connecting to your wireless network without
your permission. Depending on the level of security required, your wireless network might use
either a WPA key or WEP passphrase.

If you have not changed the network name or the security passkey since setting up your wireless
network, you can sometimes find them on the back or side of the wireless router.
If you cannot find the network name or the security passkey or cannot remember this information,

Network setup

Overview of security settings
To help improve the security of the wireless network and prevent unauthorized access, the printer
supports many common types of network authentication, including WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
•

WEP: Provides security by encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to
another wireless device. Devices on a WEP-enabled network use WEP keys to encode data. If
your network uses WEP, you must know the WEP key(s) it uses.

•

WPA: Increases the level of over-the-air data protection and access control on existing and
future wireless networks. It addresses all known weaknesses of WEP, the original native security
mechanism in the 802.11 standard. WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for
encryption and employs 802.1X authentication with one of the standard Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) types available today.

•

WPA2: Provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a high level of assurance that
only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 provides the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES). AES is defined in counter cipher-block chaining mode (CCM) and
supports the Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) to enable security between client
workstations operating connected wirelessly without a wireless router (such as a Linksys
wireless router or Apple AirPort Base Station).

Add hardware addresses to a wireless router (MAC filtering)
MAC filtering is a security feature in which a wireless router or wireless access point is configured
with a list of hardware addresses (also called "MAC addresses") of devices that are allowed to gain
access to the network through the router.
If the router filters hardware addresses, then the printer's hardware address must be added to the
router’s list of accepted hardware addresses. If the router does not have the hardware address of a
printer attempting to access the network, the router denies the printer access to the network.
CAUTION: This method is not recommended, however, because your MAC addresses can
easily be read and falsified by unwanted users outside your network.
To add hardware addresses to a wireless router or wireless access point
1. Print the network configuration page, and then locate the printer’s hardware address. For more
information, see Understand the network configuration page.
NOTE: The printer maintains separate hardware addresses for the Ethernet connection
and for wireless connection. Both hardware addresses are listed on the printer’s network
configuration page.
2.

Open the configuration utility for the wireless router or wireless access point, and add the
printer's hardware address to the list of accepted hardware addresses.
NOTE: For more information about using the configuration utility, see the documentation
provided with the router or wireless access point.

Other wireless security guidelines
To keep the wireless network secure, follow these guidelines:
•
•

•

Use a wireless password with at least 20 random characters. You can use up to 64 characters
in a WPA wireless password.
Avoid any common words or phrases, easy sequences of characters (such as all 1s), and
personally-identifiable information for wireless passwords. Always use random strings
composed of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and if allowed, special characters such
as punctuation.
Change the default wireless password provided by the manufacturer for administrator access
to the access point or wireless router. Some routers let you change the administrator name as
well.

Set up the printer for wireless communication

125

Appendix C
•

Turn off administrative access over wireless if possible. If you do this, you need to connect to
the router with an Ethernet connection when you want to make configuration changes.

•

Turn off remote administrative access over the Internet on your router, if possible. You can use
Remote Desktop to make an encrypted connection to a computer running behind your router
and make configuration changes from the local computer you are accessing over the Internet.

•

To avoid accidentally connecting to another party's wireless network, turn off the setting to
automatically connect to non-preferred networks. This is disabled by default in Windows XP.

Guidelines for reducing interference on a wireless network
The following tips will help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network:
•

•

Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other
electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, as these objects can
disrupt radio signals.
Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures as
these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.

•

Position the access point or wireless router in a central location in line of sight with the wireless
devices on the network.

•

Keep all wireless devices on the network within range of one another.

To open the embedded web server

About cookies
The embedded web server (EWS) places very small text files (cookies) on your hard drive when you
are browsing. These files let the EWS recognize your computer the next time you visit. For example,
if you have configured the EWS language, a cookie helps remember which language you have
selected so that the next time you access the EWS, the pages are displayed in that language. Though
some cookies are cleared at the end of each session (such as the cookie that stores the selected
language), others (such as the cookie that stores customer-specific preferences) are stored on the
computer until you clear them manually.
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can configure it to alert you every time
a cookie is offered, which allows you to decide which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use
your browser to remove unwanted cookies.
NOTE: Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the
following features:
•

Starting where you left the application (especially useful when using setup wizards)

•

Remembering the EWS browser language setting

•

Personalizing the EWS Home page

For information about how to change your privacy and cookie settings and how to view or delete
cookies, see the documentation available with your web browser.

To open the embedded web server
NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address and
hostname for the printer are listed on the status report. For more information, see Understand
the network configuration page.
In a supported web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname assigned to the
printer.
For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following address into the web browser:
http://123.123.123.123
TIP: After opening the embedded web server, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it
quickly.
TIP: If you are using the Safari web browser in Mac OS X, you can also use the Bonjour
bookmark to open the EWS without typing the IP address. To use the Bonjour bookmark, open
Safari, and then from the Safari menu, click Preferences. On the Bookmarks tab, in the
Bookmarks bar section, select Include Bonjour, and then close the window. Click the
Bonjour bookmark, and then select your networked printer to open the EWS.

more information, see HP support.

Previously used ink cartridge installed
The ink cartridge identified in the message was previously used in a different printer.
You can use ink cartridges in different printers, but if the cartridge was left outside of a printer for an

Incompatible ink
The printer has detected that the type of ink in the cartridges listed in the message is incompatible
with the ink system for the printer and can cause serious harm to the printhead.
Solution: Remove this cartridge immediately and replace with a compatible ink cartridge. For
information about how to install new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges.

Ink sensor warning
The ink sensor is reporting an unexpected condition. This could be caused by the cartridge, or the
sensor may have failed. If the sensor has failed, it can no longer sense when your cartridges are low
on ink. Printing with an empty cartridge will cause air to enter the ink system, which causes poor
print quality. Significant amounts of ink will be used up to recover from this condition, which will
deplete much of the ink supply for all cartridges.
Solution: Click OK to continue printing or replace the cartridge. For information about how to install
new cartridges, see Replace the ink cartridges.

136

Errors (Windows)

Problem with printer preparation
The printer clock has failed and ink preparation may not be complete. The estimated Ink Level gauge

situation.
If you received cartridges with your replacement printer or printhead, use them for startup. Install
new cartridges or click OK to use currently installed cartridges.

Problem with ink system
Please remove the ink cartridges and examine them for any sign of leaks. If any cartridges have
