Connecting the printer

Your printer supports local printing using a USB cable. (USB cables are sold separately. To order, see HP supplies and accessories.)

You can share the printer in these ways:

???You can use a simple form of networking, known as locally shared networking, if you connect the printer to a computer running Windows. Using this method, you can share the printer with other Windows users. See Connecting directly using a USB cable (Windows) and Sharing the printer on a locally shared network (Windows).

???You can also use locally shared networking if you connect the printer to a computer running a Mac OS. Using this method, you can share the printer with other Mac OS users. See Connecting directly using a USB cable (Mac OS).

Connecting directly using a USB cable (Windows)

In the Windows environment, you can connect directly using a USB cable.

NOTE: To use a USB cable to connect the printer to a computer running the Mac OS, see Connecting directly using a USB cable (Mac OS).

For Windows, you can use a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer if the computer has a USB port and is running Microsoft Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.

In most cases, after you install the printer software and connect a printer to the computer, you can install additional printers with USB cables without reinstalling the printing software.

8 Getting started

Sharing the printer on a locally shared network (Windows)

In a locally shared network, the printer is connected directly to the USB connector of a selected computer (known as the server) and is shared by other computers (clients). Use this configuration only in small groups or when usage is low. The computer connected to the printer is slowed down when many users print to its shared printer.

You can share the printer on a locally shared network when:

???The computer connected to the printer is running Windows.

???The printer will be shared with other Windows users. (You cannot share the printer with Mac OS users.)

Sharing a printer connected to your computer (the server)

1.From the Start menu, find the Printers folder. (The route is different for different Windows operating systems. It might be through Settings or Control Panel, or directly through Printers and Faxes.)

2.In the Printers folder, right-click the printer and click Properties.

3.On the Share tab, select the ???share the printer??? option, give the printer a Share Name.

4.Optional. If you are sharing the printer with users of other versions of Windows, you can click Additional Drivers to install their drivers as a convenience to them. This step requires you to have the Starter CD in your CD drive.

NOTE: When sharing a locally connected printer, use the newest operating system as the server. A Windows 98 server will not recognize a Windows 2000 client.

5. Click OK.

Using a printer connected to another computer (clients)

Clients can connect to the printer in three different ways:

???Install the printer software from the Starter CD. When prompted, select Connected via the network, and then select Client Setup for client-server printing.

???Browse to the printer on the network and drag the printer to your Printers folder.

???Add the printer and install the software from the INF file that has been saved to a location on your network. Ask the network administrator where the INF file is located.

On the Starter CD, the INF files are stored in folders using the following format: <CD>:\Setup\Drivers\PCL3\<operating system>\<language>.

12 Getting started

2 Using the printer

In this section you will learn how to use the printer driver to change printer settings and to perform basic printer tasks. You will also learn about the special media that you can use with the printer and how to print on that media.

Selecting print media

Before you use the printer, take some time to familiarize yourself with the various media you can use.

The printer is designed to work well with most types of office paper and with 25 percent cotton bond paper. It is best to test a variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Find a media type that works well and is easy to purchase.

NOTE: Use HP media for optimum print quality. These print media types are specifically designed to work well with the printer. For ordering information and part numbers, see HP supplies and accessories.

Tips for selecting and using print media

For the best results, observe the following guidelines:

???Always use paper that conforms to the printer specifications. For a list of supported media, see Understanding supported sizes and Understanding supported media types and weights.

???Load only one paper type at a time into a tray.

???In Tray 1, load media print-side down with the right edge of the media aligned against the right edge and front guide of the tray. See Loading media.

???Load no more than 150 sheets of media into Tray 1.

???Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations or paper that is heavily textured or embossed. These types of media can cause jams and other problems.

???Do not use paper that is too lightweight or stretches easily. These types of paper can feed improperly or jam. See Understanding specifications for supported media.

???Do not use multipart forms.

???Paper that is heavily textured or does not accept ink well can cause poorly filled graphics or text.

???If you have any other usage problem, see Starting troubleshooting.

???If you had trouble installing the printer, see Troubleshooting installation issues.

Maintaining ink cartridges and printheads

The ink cartridges should not require maintenance except for replacing them when the ink runs out. The printheads require very little maintenance.

Replacing ink cartridges

CAUTION: The ink in HP ink cartridges has been formulated to ensure superior print quality and compatibility with your printer. Damage to the printer that results from modifying or refilling the ink cartridges, or from using non-HP ink cartridges, is not covered under the warranty.

You do not have to replace all four ink cartridges when one runs out. Only replace the ink cartridge for the color that is low or out.

You can check the ink levels from the Toolbox. You can also check the printer control panel to see if an ink cartridge is low, as shown here.

The ink cartridge is low on ink when the Ink Cartridge light blinks, and one or more of the color indicator lights is on.

The ink cartridge is out of ink when the Ink Cartridge light, one or more of the color indicator lights, and the Resume light are on.

You must replace the ink cartridge to continue printing.and Maintaining troubleshooting

???If you are printing black text and a blank page prints, your black ink cartridge might be empty. See Replacing ink cartridges.

Check the printer setup

???If the printer selection is a problem, open the Printers folder in Windows and set this printer as the default. In the Mac OS, set this printer as the default in the Chooser or the Print Center.

Check that the media you are using is wide enough

??? The media width must match the page settings in your print settings.

Something on the page is missing or incorrect

Check the margin settings

???Make sure that the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the printer. See Setting minimum margins.

Check the color print settings

??? Grayscale might be selected in the Print Settings dialog box.

50 Maintaining and troubleshooting

Placement of the text or graphics is wrong

Check the page-orientation setting

???The page orientation selected might not be correct for the document you are printing. Make sure the media size and page orientation selected in the application match the settings in the Print Settings dialog box. See Changing printer settings.

Check the paper size

???The Paper Size setting might not match the size of media you are using. Select the correct paper size from the printer driver.

???Some of the content might be missing or cut off if the document size is larger than the media loaded in the tray.

If the layout of the document you are trying to print will fit on a media size supported by the printer, then load the correct media size. Make sure to select the correct page orientation.

Alternatively, select Emulate LaserJet Margins in the printer driver to scale the document to fit the media size currently selected.

Check the margin settings

???If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure that the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer. See Setting minimum margins.

Check how the media is loaded

???Make sure that the width and length guides fit snugly against the left and bottom edges of the stack of media. See Loading media.

If none of the above solutions worked, the problem is likely caused by the inability of the application to interpret print settings properly. Check the release notes for known software conflicts. Otherwise, check your application manual, or call the software manufacturer for more specific help for this problem.

Poor print quality

First try these general steps when you see poor print quality.

Check the printheads and ink cartridges

???Replace any clogged or worn printheads or low or empty ink cartridges (See Maintaining ink cartridges and printheads.) Then try to print again.

Check the paper quality

???The paper might be too moist or too rough. Make sure that the media you are using meets HP specifications. (See Selecting print media.) Then try to print again.

Check the rollers that are inside of the printer

???The rollers inside of the printer might be dirty, causing lines or smudges to appear on your printout. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and clean the rollers inside of the printer with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Then try to print again. (Some printers might have a certain amount of aerosol on the inside wall after prolonged use. This should not cause lines or smudges on printouts.)

Maintaining and troubleshooting

Resolving printing problems 51

See the next sections for more specific problems:

???Meaningless characters print

???Ink is smearing

???Ink is not filling the text or graphics completely

???Output is faded or dull colored

???Colors are printing as black and white

???Wrong colors are printing

???Printout shows bleeding colors

???Colors do not line up properly

???Lines or dots are missing from text or graphics

Meaningless characters print

Check the cable connection

???A common cause for meaningless characters is a poor cable connection between the printer and computer. Make sure that the cable connection at both ends is good and that the cable is securely fastened.

???If you are using a USB cable and the problem persists after you have checked the connection, turn off the printer and disconnect the cable from the printer. Turn the printer back on without the connection in place. When the Power light is on and not flashing, reconnect the cable.

Check the document file

???Occasionally, a document file is damaged. If you can print other documents from the same application, try to print using a backup copy of your document, if available.

Cancel the job

???After an interruption has occurred to a job that is printing, the printer might not recognize the rest of the job. Cancel the current job and wait for the printer to return to the Ready state. If the printer does not return to the Ready state, cancel all job processes and wait again. When the printer returns to the Ready state, resend the job. If prompted at the computer to retry the job, click Cancel.

Ink is smearing

Check the print mode

???When you print documents that use a lot of ink, you must allow the document more time to dry before handling it. This is especially true for transparencies. Select Best mode in the printer driver, and increase the ink drying time from Advanced Features in the printer driver. Under Advanced Features is an Ink Volume slider that you can use in conjunction with drying time to decrease ink saturation. However, note that decreasing ink saturation might give printouts a ???washed-out??? quality.

???Color documents that have rich, blended colors can wrinkle or smear when printed using Best mode. Try using the Normal, Fast Normal, or Draft mode to reduce ink, or use HP Premium Paper designed for printing vivid color documents.

Check the media type

???Some types of media do not accept ink well, which causes the ink to dry more slowly and results in smearing. See Selecting print media.

52 Maintaining and troubleshooting

Ink is not filling the text or graphics completely

Check the ink cartridges

???Try removing and then reinstalling the ink cartridges, and make sure to snap them firmly into place.

???Your ink cartridge might be out of ink. Replace the empty ink cartridge. See Replacing ink cartridges.

Check the media type

??? Some media types are not suitable for use with your printer. See Selecting print media.

Output is faded or dull colored

Check the print mode

???The Fast Normal and Draft modes allow you to print at a faster rate. This option is good for printing drafts. To achieve better colored printout, select Normal or Best mode in the printer driver.

Check the paper type print setting

???When printing on transparencies or other special media, select the corresponding media type in the

Print Settings dialog box.

Check the ink cartridges

???On the printed page, check that all the lines in the text or image are connected and have printed properly. If the lines are broken, one or more of your ink cartridges is probably out of ink or defective. Replace those ink cartridges with new ones.

Colors are printing as black and white

Check the printer driver settings

???The Print In Grayscale check box might be selected. From your application, open the Printer Properties dialog box. Click the Color tab and make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected.

Wrong colors are printing

Check the printer driver settings

???The Print In Grayscale check box might be selected. From your application, open the Printer Properties dialog box. Click the Color tab and make sure that Print in Grayscale is not selected.

Check the ink cartridges

???When colors are completely wrong, the printer might have run out of one or more colors of ink. Check the status of the ink cartridges in the Toolbox or on the control panel, and then replace any low or empty ink cartridges. See Replacing ink cartridges.

Check the printheads

???Whenever print quality noticeably decreases, it is a good idea to clean the printheads. To clean the printheads, open the Toolbox, click the Printer Services tab, and then click Clean Printheads.

For Macintosh, use the control panel. See Maintaining ink cartridges and printheads.

Resolving paper-feed problems

This section provides solutions to common paper-feed problems.

For information on resolving jams, see Clearing jams.

Tray cannot be inserted

???With the tray removed from the printer, turn the printer off and then on again. Reinsert the tray.

???Make sure that the tray is aligned with the printer opening.

Another paper-feed problem is occurring

Media is not supported for the printer or tray

???Make sure that you are using media that is supported for the printer and for the tray being used. (See Printer specifications and Understanding specifications for supported media.)

Media is not picked up from Tray 1

???Check that the guides are set to the correct marking in the trays for the size of paper you are loading. Also make sure the guides are snug, but not tight, against the stack.

???Make sure the media you are using is not curled. Uncurl paper by bending it in the opposite direction of the curl.

???Make sure that the tray has been pushed completely into the printer.

Media is not coming out correctly

???If the output tray extension is not extended, output pages will fall off the printer. Make sure that output tray extension is extended.

???Remove excess media from the output tray. The output tray is designed to hold a maximum of 100 sheets at a time.

Pages are skewing

??? Make sure that media loaded in Tray 1 is aligned to the right and front guides.

Multiple pages are being picked up

???Make sure that the stack of paper has been aligned with the right and front guides.

???Make sure that the tray has not been overloaded with paper.

???When you load paper, avoid fanning the stack. Fanning paper can cause static electricity to build up and intensify multiple-pick problems.

???When you reinsert a tray in the printer, make sure that you insert it gently. Forceful insertion with a full stack of paper can cause sheets to slide up within the printer, causing the printer to jam or pick multiple sheets at one time.

Glossary

Booklet printing

This option enables you to print two pages onto a single, larger sheet of paper and reorder the page sequencing so that the page numbers are sequential when you fold the paper in half to form a booklet. For more information, see the printer driver Help.

Flip pages up

This option allows you to choose the orientation of duplexed pages. When you choose an option, view its icon in the printer driver to see how the page will look if you choose that option. For more information, see the printer driver Help.

HP PhotoREt Color Layering technology

This technology uses small, precisely placed drops of ink that visually blend together to create rich colors, smooth gradations, and cleanly defined color boundaries. This type of technology works with the printer resolution to deliver superb results without creating large file sizes and without slowing down printing.

Ink cartridges

Ink cartridges hold the ink used for printing. Each color ink cartridge must be inserted firmly into its color-coded slot in order for the printer to work. Ink cartridges work with Printheads.

PCL 3 driver

Printer command language. A type of printer driver that processes print jobs using the processor and memory in the printer. It provides an efficient way for applications to control a wide range of printer features and is designed to translate application output quickly into high-quality raster print images. The 3 in PCL 3 identifies the version of the printer driver.

Print server or print server card

A print server or print server card is a piece of hardware that can be connected to a printer (or other device), either internally or externally. The print server allows the printer to communicate with the computers on a network. This type of print server should not be confused with a computer acting as a server, or print server. The computer acting as a print server runs the software that the printer needs to operate.

Printer driver

A printer driver (or PPD on a Macintosh) is the software on a computer that allows the computer to communicate with the printer. Use the printer driver to set printing options, such as setting the type of paper you are using or selecting the print quality.

Glossary

Glossary 91

Printheads

Printheads transfer ink from ink cartridges onto the paper or other print media. There is one printhead for each color of ink cartridge. Each printhead must be inserted firmly into its color-coded slot in order for the printer to work. Printheads work with Ink cartridges.

Quick Sets

Quick Sets allow you to save the current printer driver settings (such as page orientation, print on both sides, paper source) for reuse. Quick sets can be selected and saved from most tabs in the printer driver. They are useful for projects that you print often that need the same settings each time. For more information, see the printer driver Help.

Resolution

Resolution is a measure of the quality of the image you are printing. In HP printers, the resolution and printing technologies work together to produce superb results that resolution alone cannot offer.
