Tray Single-sided printing Envelope printing Tray 1 Face-up Front of envelope face-up Top edge leading into the product Short edge with postage leading into the product Face-down Use only Tray 1 for printing envelopes. Tray 2 Top edge at the front of the tray 36 Chapter 6 Paper and print media ENWW Tray 1 Tray 1 is accessed from the front of the printer. Media guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the printer and that the print is not skewed (crooked on the media). When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the width of the media that you are using. ENWW Load trays 37 Tray 2 Media guides ensure that the media feeds correctly into the printer and that the print is not skewed. Tray 2 has side and rear media guides. When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the length and width of the media that you are using. NOTE: When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of new media. This reduces jams by preventing multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time. Load A6-size paper When loading A6-size paper, adjust the length by sliding forward only the center panel of the rear media guide. 38 Chapter 6 Paper and print media ENWW Manual feed You can use manual feed when printing mixed media.

To use the top output bin, be sure that the straight-through paper path is closed. To avoid jams, do not open or close the straight-through paper path while the product is printing. 40 Chapter 6 Paper and print media ENWW Print to the straight-through paper path (rear output) The product always uses the straight-through paper path if it is open. Paper exits face-up, with the last page on top (reverse order). Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output provides the straightest path. Opening the straight-through paper path might improve performance with the following paper types: ● Envelopes ● Labels ● Small custom-size paper ● Postcards ● Paper heavier than 120 g/m2 (32 lb) To open the straight-through paper path, grasp the handle at the top of the rear door, and pull the door down. NOTE: Be sure to open the straight-through paper path, not the jam-release door.

See Configure trays on page 39. ● Use paper that meets HP specifications. See Paper and print media on page 29. ● Clean the product as necessary. See Clean the paper path on page 67. 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 120. Print-quality problems associated with jams Make sure that all sheets are cleared from the paper path. 94 ● 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 67.

Rev. 11/06 ENWW End User License Agreement 115 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. 116 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/.
