Media

This chapter provides information on the following topics:

ENWW Media 23

#### Choosing paper and other media

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media. The following are the supported media sizes:

Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media designed for laser printers. See Printer media specifications for detailed paper and media specifications.

Note Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. Your media supplier should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet printer family print media guide (HP part

number 5963-7863). See Printer media specifications for more information.

Media to avoid The HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series printers can handle many types of media. Use of media outside the printer’s specifications will cause a loss of print quality and increase the chance of paper jams occurring.

Media that may damage the printer In rare circumstances media can damage the printer. The following media must be avoided to prevent possible damage:

To order HP LaserJet printing supplies, go to http://www.hp.com/go/ljsupplies in the U.S. or to http://www.hp.com/ghp/buyonline.html worldwide.

ENWW Choosing paper and other media 25

#### Optimizing print quality for media types

Media type settings control the temperature of your printer’s fuser. You can change the settings for the media that you are using to optimize the print quality.

You can access the optimizing feature from the Paper tab in your printer driver or from HP Toolbox.

Printing speeds are automatically reduced when printing special-sized media.

#### Loading media into the input trays

##### Main input tray

The main input tray holds up to 250 pages of 20 lb paper or fewer pages of heavier media (25 mm or less stack). Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side and rear media guides.

##### Priority input tray

The priority input tray holds up to 10 pages of 20 lb paper or one envelope, transparency, or card. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side media guides.

CAUTION If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might occur. See

Printer media specifications for more information.

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 helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through

the printer at one time, reducing media jams.

##### Specific types of media

ENWW Loading media into the input trays 27

#### Printing on transparencies or labels

Only use transparencies and labels that are recommended for use in laser printers, such as HP transparency film and HP LaserJet labels. See Printer media specifications for more information.

CAUTION Be sure to set the correct media type in the printer settings as instructed below. The printer adjusts the fuser temperature according to the media type setting. When printing on special media such as transparencies or labels, this adjustment prevents the fuser from damaging the media as it passes through the printer.

CAUTION Inspect the media to make sure that it is not wrinkled or curled and that it does not have any torn

edges or missing labels.

###### To print transparencies or labels

Note Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver. 6 Print the document. Remove the media from the back of the printer as it prints to prevent it

from sticking together and place the printed pages on a flat surface.

#### Printing on envelopes

##### Printing one envelope

Only use envelopes that are recommended for laser printers. See Printer media specifications for more information.

Note Use the priority input tray for printing one envelope. Use the main input tray for printing multiple

envelopes.

Note If the envelope has a flap on the short edge, feed that edge into the printer first.

Note Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver.

##### Printing multiple envelopes

Only use envelopes that are recommended for laser printers. See Printer media specifications for more information.

Note Use the priority input tray for printing one envelope. Use the main input tray for printing multiple

envelopes.

ENWW Printing tasks 35

#### Manual feed

You can use manual feed when printing mixed media, for example, an envelope, then a letter, then an envelope, and so on. Load an envelope in the priority input tray and load letterhead in the main input tray. You can also use manual feed to protect your privacy when printing to a network printer.

To print using manual feed, access the printer properties or printer setup in your software application, and select Manual Feed from the Source Tray drop-down list. See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. After you have enabled the setting, press the Go button (blinking) each time to print.

#### Printing watermarks

You can use the watermark option to print text ”underneath” (in the background) of an existing document. For example, you might want to have large gray letters reading Draft or Confidential printed diagonally across the first page or all of the pages of a document.

##### Accessing the watermark feature

Note Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver.

ENWW Printing watermarks 37

#### Printing multiple pages on a single sheet of paper (N-up printing)

You can select the number of pages that you want to print on a single sheet of paper. If you choose to print more than one page per sheet, the pages appear smaller and are arranged on the sheet in the order that they would otherwise be printed.

##### Accessing the multiple pages per sheet feature

Note Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver. 3 There is also a check box for page borders and a pull-down menu to specify the order of

pages printed on the sheet.

#### Printing on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing)

To print on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing), you must run the paper through the printer twice. You can print using the media output bin or the straight-through output path. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the media output bin for lightweight paper and use the straight-through output path for any heavy media or media that curls when printed.

Note Manual duplexing can cause the printer to become dirty, reducing print quality. See Cleaning the

printer for instructions if the printer becomes dirty.

##### Manual duplex using the top output bin

Note Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver.

##### Manual duplex on heavy media or card stock

For heavy media, such as card stock, use the straight-through output path.

Note Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver.

#### Printing booklets

You can print booklets on letter, legal, executive, or A4 paper.

Note Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver. 6 After side one has been printed, remove the remaining paper from the input tray, and set it

aside until your booklet job is complete.

ENWW Printing booklets 43

#### Canceling a print job

You can cancel a print job from a software application or a print queue. To stop the printer immediately, remove the remaining paper from the printer. After the printer stops, use one of the following options.

If the status lights on the control panel continue to blink after you cancel a print job, the computer is still sending the job to the printer. Either delete the job from the print queue or wait until the computer finishes sending data. The printer will return to the Ready state.

#### Understanding print quality settings

Print quality settings affect how light or dark the print is on the page and the style that the graphics are printed. You can also use the print quality settings to optimize the print quality for a specific media type. See Optimizing print quality for media types for more information.

You can change the settings in the printer properties to accommodate the types of jobs you are printing. The following are the settings:

Note Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver.

Note To change the print quality settings for all future print jobs, access the properties through the Start menu in the Windows system tray. To change the print quality settings only for the current software application’s use, access the properties through the Print Setup menu in the application you are

using to print. See Printer properties (driver) for more information.

ENWW Understanding print quality settings 45

#### Using EconoMode (Saves toner)

An excellent way to extend the life of your print cartridge is by using EconoMode. EconoMode uses substantially less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a print cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2.5 years. The shelf life of a print cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months.

CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light.

ENWW Storing print cartridges 49

#### Print cartridge life expectancy

The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5 percent coverage, the print cartridge lasts for the following average amounts:

This life expectancy assumes that you set the print density to 3 and turn EconoMode off. (These are the default settings.)

#### Saving toner

While in EconoMode, the printer uses less toner on each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the print cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but it will reduce print quality. See Using EconoMode (Saves toner) for more information.

ENWW Saving toner 51

#### Redistributing toner

When toner is low, faded or light areas appear on the printed page. You might be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner, which means that you might be able to finish the current print job before replacing the print cartridge.

Note You will feel some resistance when you open the print cartridge door. Opening the print cartridge

door conveniently lifts the print cartridge for removal.

CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover it with a sheet of paper.

CAUTION If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothing in cold water. Hot

water sets toner into the fabric.

If the print is still light, install a new print cartridge. See Changing the print cartridge for instructions.

#### Changing the print cartridge

Note You will feel some resistance when you open the print cartridge door. Opening the print cartridge

door conveniently lifts the print cartridge for removal. 1 Open the print cartridge door, and remove the old print cartridge. See the recycling

information inside the print cartridge box.

CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover it with a piece of paper.

ENWW Changing the print cartridge 53

CAUTION If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothing in cold water. Hot

water sets toner into the fabric.

#### Cleaning the printer

Clean the outside of the printer with a clean, damp cloth when necessary.

CAUTION Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the printer.

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. To correct and prevent these types of problems, you can clean the print cartridge area and the printer media path.

##### Cleaning the print cartridge area

You do not need to clean the print cartridge area often. However, cleaning this area can improve the quality of your printed sheets.

WARNING! Before cleaning the printer, turn the printer off by unplugging the power cord, and wait for the printer

to cool.

CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover the print cartridge if necessary. Also, do not touch the black sponge transfer roller inside the printer. By doing so, you can damage

the printer.

ENWW Cleaning the printer 55

| | |---|

| | |---|

##### Cleaning the printer media path

If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, clean the printer media path. This process uses a transparency to remove dust and toner from the media path. Do not use bond or rough paper.

Note For best results use a sheet of transparency. If you do not have any transparencies, you can use

copier grade media (18 to 24 lb. or 70 to 90 g/m2) with a smooth surface.

Note The cleaning process takes approximately 2 minutes. The cleaning page will stop periodically during the cleaning process. Do not turn the printer off until the cleaning process has finished. You might

need to repeat the cleaning process several times to thoroughly clean the printer.

Return to Finding the solution.

#### Clearing jams

Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include the following:

Note When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the

stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at

one time, reducing media jams. You are notified of a media jam by an error in the software and the printer control panel lights. See Status light patterns for more information.

###### Typical media jam locations

Note There might be loose toner in the printer after a media jam. This toner clears up after a few sheets

print.

##### Removing a jammed page

CAUTION Media jams might result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them

in cold water. Hot water will permanently set the toner into the fabric.

CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light.

Note The pressure release levers automatically close when you close the straight-through output door.

After clearing a media jam, you might need to turn the printer off and turn it back on.

Note When you add new media, remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of

new media. Return to Finding the solution.

#### Changing the pickup roller

If the printer regularly mispicks (no media feeds through or more than one sheet feeds through), you might need to change or clean the pickup roller. See Ordering supplies and accessories to order a new pickup roller.

CAUTION Failure to complete this procedure might damage the printer.

Note Circular and rectangular pegs on each side prevent you from incorrectly positioning the pickup roller.

ENWW Changing the pickup roller 93

#### Cleaning the pickup roller

If you want to clean the pickup roller rather than replace it, follow the instructions below:

WARNING! Alcohol is flammable. Keep the alcohol and cloth away from an open flame. Before you close the

printer and plug in the power cord, allow the alcohol to dry completely.

####### Note

In certain areas of California, air pollution control regulations restrict the use of liquid Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) as a cleaning agent. In those areas of California, please disregard the previous recommendations and use a dry, lint-free cloth. The cloth may be moistened with water if desired.

ENWW Cleaning the pickup roller 95

#### Changing the printer separation pad

Note Before you change the separation pad, clean the pickup roller. Leave the pickup roller out of the

printer while changing the separation pad. See Cleaning the pickup roller for instructions. If your input tray feeds more than one page at a time, you might need to change the printer separation pad. Recurring feed problems indicate that the printer separation pad is worn. See Ordering supplies and accessories to order a new printer separation pad.

Note The tab on the right is larger to help you position it correctly.

ENWW Changing the printer separation pad 97

######## 7 Snap both sides of the separation pad firmly into place.

CAUTION Make sure that the separation pad is straight and that there is no space between the separation pad and the spring-loaded base. If the separation pad is not straight or you see space on one side, remove the separation pad, make sure that the larger tab is on the right, reinsert the separation pad,

and snap both sides into place.

Media specifications

This appendix provides information on the following topics:

ENWW Media specifications 113

#### Printer media specifications

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and custom-sized paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality.

The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user guide. Media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:

For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or control their quality.

It is possible for media to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

Before you purchase a large quantity of media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media. (See Ordering supplies and accessories for more information about ordering the guidelines.) Always test media before you

purchase a large quantity.

CAUTION Using media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard’s specifications might cause problems for the printer,

requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.

#### Supported media sizes

The following are the supported media sizes:

ENWW Supported media sizes 115

#### Guidelines for using media

##### Paper

For best results, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.

If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper.

Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.

Paper usage

Symptom Problem with paper Solution

Poor print quality or toner adhesion. Problems with feeding.

Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed. Faulty paper lot.

Try another kind of paper: between 100-250 Sheffield and 4-6 percent moisture content.

Dropouts, jamming, or curl. Stored improperly. Store paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping.

Increased gray background shading.

Might be too heavy. Use lighter paper.

Excessive curl. Problems with feeding.

Too moist, wrong grain direction, or short-grain construction.

Use long-grain paper. Print using the straight-through output path.

Jamming or damage to printer. Cutouts or perforations. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations.

Problems with feeding. Ragged edges. Use good quality paper.

Note The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the printer temperature (200° C or 392° F for 0.1 second).

Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.

Do not use raised letterhead. Do not use transparencies designed for inkjet printers or other low temperature printers. Use only

transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.

##### Labels

Label construction When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following components:

##### Transparencies

Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum temperature.

##### Envelopes

###### Envelope construction

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

###### Envelopes with double-side seams

An envelope with double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Make sure that the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in the following illustration:

###### Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer: 200° C (392° F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.

###### Envelope storage

Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

##### Card stock and heavy media

You can print many types of card stock from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer.

For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 42 lb (157 g/m2). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.

Note You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if you use

paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.

###### Card stock construction

Card stock guidelines Set margins at least 2 mm (0.08 in.) away from the edges.

##### Installed print server stops working

If you have successfully installed a network printer and you are no longer able to print to it, the problem might be related to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

In a DHCP environment, a DHCP server allocates IP addresses as computers and printers on the network need them. DHCP-supplied addresses are dynamic and might cause problems for computers and printers, which expect IP addresses to be static.

If your print server acquired its IP address via DHCP, the IP address might have changed after you set up the printer. In this case, the printer is no longer available to the network. HP recommends configuring the print server with a static IP address.

###### To assign a static IP address

Note Consult your network administrator before changing the print server’s IP address. Be sure to notify

other users of any changes.

Note You will lose your connection to the embedded Web server when you change the IP address. To

re-establish the connection, type the new IP address in the browser’s URL field.

##### Print server status light

The status light on the back of the print server can indicate problems with the print server. Use the table below to interpret the print server status light.

Print server status light

Light behavior Description

Off The print server is not receiving power.

On (solid green) The print server is on and ready.

Blinking slowly (amber) An error occurred during a self-test or operation. Disconnect and reconnect the print server. If the problem still exists, reinstall the print server software.

Blinking slowly (green) The print server is receiving power, but it is not ready, or a self-test might be in progress. Wait for the light to turn solid green. The print server might have lost its connection to the network. Check the 10/100 link lights, which are located near the network connection. If the 10 and 100 link lights are both off, there is no network connection.

Blinking quickly (green) The print server is processing the configuration page. Wait until the configuration page finishes.

Flashing intermittently (green) The print server is on and ready, and there is activity on the network.
