When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job in memory. When you are ready to print the job, you must go to the printer and use the operator panel menus to identify which held job you want to print.
Note: Print and Hold functions require a minimum of 16MB available printer memory. We recommend a minimum of 32MB available printer memory and a hard disk.
To learn more about this function, click a topic:
Printing and deleting held jobs
Once held jobs are stored in printer memory, you can use the printer operator panel to specify what you want to do with one or more of the jobs. You can select either Confidential Job or Held Jobs (Repeat Print, Reserve Print, and Verify Print jobs) from the Job Menu. If you select Confidential Job, you must enter the personal identification number (PIN) you specified in the driver when you sent the job. See Confidential jobs for more information.
From either the Confidential Job or the Held Jobs menu items, you have five choices:
???Print All Jobs
???Print A Job
???Delete All Jobs
???Delete A Job
???Print Copies
Accessing held jobs from the operator panel
1To access held jobs from the operator panel:
???If the printer is Busy, press Menu and the Job Menu appears.
???If the printer is Ready, continue to step 2.
2Press Menu until you see Held Jobs or Confidential Job on the operator panel display, depending on the type of job you want to access.
3Press Select.
User Name appears on the first line of the operator panel. The second line displays the names of users currently associated with Print and Hold jobs.
4Press Menu until you see your user name.
Note: If you are looking for a Confidential Job, you are prompted to enter your PIN. See Confidential jobs for more information.
5Press Select.
6Press Menu until the action you want to take is on the second line of the operator panel (Print A Job, Delete A Job, and so on).
7Press Select.
???If you are looking for a particular job, press Menu to scroll through the list of available jobs, and press Select when the correct job is displayed. An asterisk (*) appears next to the job name indicating you have chosen to print or delete that job.
???If you are prompted to enter the number of copies you want to print, use the Menu button to increase or decrease the number on the display, and then press Select.
8Press Go to print or delete specific jobs you have marked.
The printer briefly shows messages indicating what Print and Hold functions it is performing.
Recognizing when format errors occur
If the 
symbol appears on the display, it indicates that the printer had trouble formatting one or more of the held jobs. These formatting problems are most commonly the result of insufficient printer memory or invalid data that might cause the printer to flush the job.
When a symbol appears next to a held job, you can:
???Print the job. Be aware, however, that only part of the job may print.
???Delete the job. You may want to free up additional printer memory by scrolling through the list of held jobs and deleting others you have sent to the printer.
If formatting errors are a recurring problem with held jobs, your printer may require more memory.
Repeat Print
If you send a Repeat Print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the job and stores the job in memory so you can print additional copies later. You can print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory.
Note: Repeat Print jobs are automatically deleted from printer memory when the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.
Reserve Print
If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately, but stores the job in memory so you can print the job later. The job is held in memory until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu. Reserve Print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.
See Printing and deleting held jobs for information.
Verify Print
If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested from the driver in printer memory. Use Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies.
See Printing and deleting held jobs if you need help printing the additional copies stored in memory.
Note: Once all copies are printed, the Verify Print job is deleted from printer memory.
Confidential jobs
When you send a job to the printer, you can enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the driver. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 1???6. The job is then held in printer memory until you enter the same four-digit PIN from the printer operator panel and choose to print or delete the job. This ensures that the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it, and no one else using the printer can print the job.
When you select Confidential Job from the Job Menu and then select your user name, the following prompt is displayed:
Enter PIN: =____
Use the buttons on the operator panel to enter the four-digit PIN associated with your confidential job. The numbers next to the button names identify which button to press for each digit (1???6). As you enter the PIN, asterisks are displayed on the operator panel to ensure confidentiality.
Enter PIN
=****
If you enter an invalid PIN, the message No Jobs Found. Retry? appears. Press Go to reenter the PIN, or press Stop to exit the Confidential Job menu.
When you enter a valid PIN, you have access to all print jobs matching the user name and PIN you entered. The print jobs matching the PIN you entered appear on the display when you enter the Print A Job, Delete A Job, and Print Copies menu items. You can then choose to print or delete jobs matching the PIN you entered. (See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information.) After printing the job, the printer deletes the confidential job from memory.

Paper and specialty media specifications
The following table lists supported paper and specialty media sizes and types for the standard and optional trays, as well as for the multipurpose feeder. We recommend that you try a limited sample of any paper or specialty media you are considering using with the printer before purchasing large quantities.
1Supported as selected paper with tray size sensing turned off in the appropriate trays.
2When selected, the page is formatted for 215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14 in.) unless otherwise specified.
3Load narrow media with the length in the feed direction (portrait).
4If you print large quantities of labels or other glossy print media, replace the fuser housing with a web oiler field upgrade kit. Contact your point of purchase for more information.
Loading the 500-sheet trays
Follow these instructions to load any of the 500-sheet trays.
1 Remove the tray.
2 Squeeze the front guide lever and slide the guide to the front of the tray.
3Squeeze the side guide lever and slide the guide to the correct position for the size paper you are loading.
Icons along the back of the tray indicate paper sizes.
4Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.
Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.
5Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down. Do not load bent or wrinkled paper.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause jams.
6 Squeeze the front guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the stack of paper.
7Reinstall the tray.
Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer.
Loading the 2000-sheet tray
Follow these instructions to load a 2000-sheet tray. Do not load any print media other than paper in the 2000-sheet tray.
1 Pull open the tray.
2Squeeze the side guide lever, lift the guide, and place it into the appropriate slot for the size paper you are loading.
3Squeeze the two front guide levers and slide the guide to the correct position for the size paper you are loading.
4 Slide the bottom support toward the front of the tray until it touches the front guide.
5Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.
Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.
6Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down. Do not load bent or wrinkled print media.
7Close the tray.
Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause paper jams.
You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways:
???Paper tray??? As a paper tray, you can load print media in the feeder with the intention of leaving the media in the feeder.
???Manual bypass feeder??? As a manual bypass feeder, you send a print job to the feeder while specifying the type and size of media from your computer. The printer then prompts you to load the appropriate print media before it prints.
Follow these instructions to load the multipurpose feeder.
1 Open the multipurpose feeder.
2 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide all the way toward the front of the printer.
3Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.
Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.
4 Arrange the stack of print media correctly for the size, type, and print method you are using.
5Place the print media, print side up, along the left side of the multipurpose feeder, and then push it in as far as it will go.
Do not force the print media.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the feeder may cause jams.
6 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the side of the stack.
???If you load the same size and type of paper or specialty media in more than one tray, the printer automatically links the trays. This means that when one tray is empty, it feeds from the next linked tray.
For example, if you have the same size and type of paper or specialty media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer feeds from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then it feeds from the next linked tray??? tray 4.
???If you load the same size paper or specialty media in each tray, make sure it is also all the same type to link the trays.
Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of paper or specialty media, select the same Paper Type setting in the Paper Menu for these sources.
???To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays.
Note: To link trays loaded with Executive, Legal, JIS B4, or JIS B5 size paper, see Size Sensing.
If you attach an optional finisher or mailbox to your printer, you can link output bins, or otherwise specify how the printer sends jobs to the bins, by changing the Configure Bins settings in the Paper Menu.
Only available if you have attached an optional mailbox.
To change the Configure Bins setting:
1Press Menu until you see Paper Menu, and then press Select.
2Press Menu until you see Configure Bins, and then press Select. Mailbox appears on the second line of the display.
3Press Menu until you see the value you want, and then press Select to save the value as the bin configuration default.
4Press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.
For more information, see Configure Bins and Bin <x> Full.
Storing paper
Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.
???Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21??C (70??F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
???Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.
???If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
???Do not place anything on top of paper packages.
Storing supplies
Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you are ready to use them.
Do not expose supplies to:
???Direct sunlight
???Temperatures above 35??C (95??F)
???High humidity (above 80%)
???Salty air
???Corrosive gases
???Heavy dust
Avoiding jams
You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer.
See the following for loading instructions:
???Loading the 500-sheet trays
???Loading the 2000-sheet tray
???Loading the multipurpose feeder
The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:
???Use only recommended paper.
???Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.
???Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.
???Do not overload the trays or the multipurpose feeder. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the maximum height indicated.
???Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.
???Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded.
???Do not load paper in a tray while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Tray <x> message before you remove the tray from the printer.
You may remove another tray and load it so long as the print job is not selecting the paper from it.
???Do not send jobs to staple, hole punch, or offset for transparencies, labels, or card stock.
???We recommend that transparencies, labels, card stock, and envelopes not be sent to the optional mailbox or optional finisher. These specialty media types should be sent to the standard bin.
???If an optional finisher or mailbox is attached to your printer, make sure the printer and option are correctly aligned. Refer to the Setup Guide for alignment instructions.
???Make sure all cables that connect the duplex unit, high capacity feeder, finisher, or mailbox to the printer are correctly attached. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information.
???If a jam should occur, clear the entire paper path. See Clearing the paper path for more information.
13 Checking an unresponsive printer
Sometimes printer problems are very easy to solve. If your printer is not responding, first make sure:
???The power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.
???The electrical outlet is not turned off by any switch or breaker.
???Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working.
???The printer is turned on.
???The printer cable is securely attached to the printer and the host computer, print server, option, or other network device.
Once you have checked each of these possibilities, turn the printer off and back on. This often fixes the problem.
14 Understanding jam messages
Always clear the entire paper path when you receive any jam message.

You can solve many print quality problems by replacing a supply or maintenance item that has reached the end of its intended life. Check the operator panel for a message about a printer consumable. See Determining the status of supplies for information about other ways to identify consumables that need to be replaced.
Use the following table to find solutions to print quality problems.
???The fuser is worn or defective.
17 Solving mailbox problems
When you call for printer service, describe the problem you are experiencing, the message on the display, and the troubleshooting steps you have already taken to find a solution.
You need to know your printer model type and serial number. Refer to the label on the back of the printer near the power cord for this information.
Note: The serial number is also listed on the menu settings page you can print from the Utilities Menu. See Printing a menu settings page for more information.
Contact your point of purchase for more information.
You can configure the printer several ways to let you know when it requires attention.
Using the Setup Menu
If multiple attendance conditions are pending, the alarm only sounds when the first message is displayed. No additional alarms sound as subsequent attendance conditions arise.
Selecting Auto Continue may affect how the printer alerts execute. This setting defines how long the printer waits after displaying a message before it resumes printing.
Using MarkVision Professional
MarkVision??? Professional, the network printer management utility, indicates when it is time to replace supplies and points out actual or potential problems. When a printer needs attention, it alerts the network administrator with a detailed graphic of the printer showing the cause for the alert (for example, an empty paper tray). For more information about MarkVision Professional, refer to the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
Using MarkVision Messenger
MarkVision Messenger lets you create Actions that execute specific commands whenever messages like Tray x Missing or 88 Toner Low appear on the display. For example, you can create an Action that sends an e-mail to the administrator when the printer runs out of paper.
Actions can be set up to occur automatically, as well as conditionally or repeatedly. For more information about MarkVision Messenger, refer to the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
22 Determining the status of supplies
To determine the status of all of the consumables installed in your printer, print the menu settings page.
See Printing a menu settings page for detailed instructions.
One or two pages print depending on the number of menu settings you have. Look for ???Consumable Status??? on the page; the percentage of life remaining for each of the items is indicated.
The Size Sensing menu item lets you disable or enable auto size sensing on trays. Size Sensing also lets the printer detect the difference between similar paper sizes that it otherwise cannot.
Note: If you load both Executive and JIS B5 size paper, or Legal and JIS B4 size paper, load one size in the multipurpose feeder. Do not use two trays when you load these similar sizes of paper.

Resident fonts
Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in printer memory. Different fonts are available in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and Times New Roman, are available for all printer languages.
The fonts in the PCL emulation are compatible with the fonts in the HP4500 and include four additional fonts and many extra symbol sets to support extra languages and applications. The fonts in the PostScript emulation are compatible with Adobe PostScript 3 and include 20 additional fonts.
The following tables list all the fonts resident in your printer. See Printing sample fonts for instructions on how to print samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software application, or from the operator panel if you are using PCL 6 emulation.
Resident bitmapped fonts
Line Printer 16
POSTNET Bar code
Symbol sets
A symbol set is an encoded collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different languages or specific applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text.
The symbol set encoding also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard (or more specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code points. To support multiple applications and languages, your printer has 83 symbol sets for the resident PCL 6 emulation fonts.
Downloadable fonts
You can download scalable fonts in PostScript 3 emulation and either scalable or bitmapped fonts in PCL 6 emulation. Fonts can be downloaded to printer memory, or to a flash memory option or hard disk option. Fonts downloaded to flash memory or hard disk remain in memory even after the printer language changes, the printer resets, or the printer is turned off.
Euro support
Support for the euro currency character is included in all applicable fonts for both the PostScript and PCL emulations. Twelve of the PCL symbol sets support the euro character, including all seven Windows symbol sets.
Hebrew and Arabic fonts
A variety of downloadable fonts for Hebrew and Arabic are included on the CD that shipped with the printer.
