Enable or disable the Cartridge Protection feature

Introduction
Use HP Cartridge Policy and Cartridge Protection to control which cartridges are installed in the printer and
protect the cartridges that are installed from theft.
●

Cartridge Policy: This feature protects the printer from counterfeit toner cartridges by allowing only
genuine HP cartridges to be used with the printer. Using genuine HP cartridges ensures the best
possible print quality. When someone installs a cartridge that is not a genuine HP cartridge, the printer
Attention and Toner lights blink, and the HP EWS displays a message that the cartridge is unauthorized
and provides information explaining how to proceed.

Cartridge Protection: This feature permanently associates toner cartridges with a specific printer, or
fleet of printers, so they cannot be used in other printers. Protecting cartridges protects your
investment. When this feature is enabled, if someone attempts to transfer a protected cartridge from
the original printer into an unauthorized printer, that printer will not print with the protected cartridge.
The printer control panel Attention and toner lights blink, and the HP EWS displays a message that the
cartridge is protected and provides information explaining how to proceed.
CAUTION: After enabling cartridge protection for the printer, all subsequent toner cartridges installed
in the printer are automatically and permanently protected. To avoid protecting a new cartridge, disable
the feature before installing the new cartridge.
Turning the feature off does not turn off protection for cartridges that are currently installed.

Both features are off by default. Follow these procedures to enable or disable them.

Introduction
The printer includes several economy features to conserve energy and supplies.

Print with EconoMode
This printer has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less toner.
However, using EconoMode can also reduce print quality.
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply
might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer
acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.
NOTE:

If this option is not available in your print driver, you can set it using the HP Embedded Web Server.

From the software program, select the Print option.

Select the printer, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.

Click the Paper/Quality tab.

Click the EconoMode option.

the number of occurrences.

The printer does not pick up paper
If the printer does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.
1.

Open the printer and remove any jammed sheets of paper.

Load the tray with the correct size of paper for your job.

Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.

Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray.

Check the printer control panel to see if the printer is waiting for you to acknowledge a prompt to feed
the paper manually. Load paper, and continue.

The pickup roller and separation pad might be contaminated.

The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper
If the printer picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.
1.

Remove the stack of paper from the tray and flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and flip it over. Do not fan
the paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.

Use only paper that meets HP specifications for this printer.

Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.

Make sure the tray is not overfilled. If it is, remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten
the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray.

Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to
the appropriate indentation in the tray.

Make sure the printing environment is within recommended specifications.

Frequent or recurring paper jams
Follow these steps to solve problems with frequent paper jams. If the first step does not resolve the problem
continue with the next step until you have resolved the problem.

Improve print quality
Introduction
If the printer is having print-quality problems, try the following solutions in the order presented to resolve
the issue.

Print from a different software program
Try printing from a different software program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the software
program from which you were printing.

Check the paper-type setting for the print job

button.

Clean the printer
Print a cleaning page
1.

Open the HP Printer Assistant.
●

Windows 8.1: Click the down arrow in lower left corner of the Start screen, and then select the
printer name.

●

Windows 8: Right-click an empty area on the Start screen, click All Apps on the app bar, and then
select the printer name.

●

Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP: From the computer desktop, click Start, select All
Programs, click HP, click the folder for the printer, select the icon with the printer's name, and
then open HP Printer Assistant.

In the HP Printer Assistant, select Print, and then select HP Device Toolbox.

On the Systems tab, click Service.

In the Cleaning Mode area, click Start to begin the cleaning process.

Visually inspect the toner cartridge
Follow these steps to inspect each toner cartridge.
1.

Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.

Examine the surface of the green imaging drum.
CAUTION: Do not touch the imaging drum. Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality
problems.

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

Reinstall the toner cartridge, and print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.

Check paper and the printing environment
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.

●

Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.

●

Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles,
voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.

●

Use paper that has not been previously printed on.

Chapter 6 Solve problems

ENWW

●

Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.

●

Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in
Inkjet printers.

●

Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding
issues. Try the following solutions:
●

Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.

●

Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications.

●

Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet.

●

Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.

●

Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all
sides, including the top.

●

Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the printer.

Check the EconoMode settings
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply
might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer
acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.
NOTE: This feature is available with the PCL 6 print driver for Windows. If you are not using that driver, you
can enable the feature by using the HP Embedded Web Server.
Follow these steps if the entire page is too dark or too light.
1.

From the software program, select the Print option.

Select the printer, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.

Click the Paper/Quality tab, and then locate the Quality Settings area.

●

If the entire page is too dark, select the EconoMode setting.
