ENWW 41
#### Parallel configuration
| | |---|
NOTE The information in this section applies only to models HP LaserJet P3005 and HP LaserJet P3005d.
A parallel connection is made by connecting the printer to the computer using a bidirectional parallel cable (IEEE-1284 compliant) with a connector plugged into the printer parallel port. The cable can be a maximum of 10 meters (30 feet) long.
When used to describe a parallel interface, the term bidirectional indicates that the printer is able to both receive data from the computer and send data to the computer through the parallel port. While the parallel interface provides backwards compatibility, a USB or network connection is recommended to optimize performance.

#### General guidelines for media
Before purchasing any paper or specialized forms in quantity, verify that your paper supplier has obtained and understands the print-media requirements that are specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide.
See HP Customer Care to order the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. To download a copy of the guide, go to www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide.
It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter or the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide and still not print satisfactorily. This can result from abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or other variables over which HP has no control (for example, extremes in temperature and humidity).
Hewlett-Packard Company recommends testing any paper before buying it in large quantities.
CAUTION Using paper that does not conform to the specifications listed here or in the print media guide can cause problems that require service. This service is not covered by the HewlettPackard warranty or service agreements.
###### Paper to avoid
The product can handle many types of paper. Using paper that does not meet specifications will cause lower print quality and increase the chance of jams.
Paper that can damage the device
In rare circumstances, paper can damage the device. The following paper must be avoided to prevent possible damage to the device:

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 product. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and might even damage the fuser.
Envelope margins The following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope.
############ Type of address Top margin Left margin
Return address 15 mm (0.6 in) 15 mm (0.6 in) Delivery address 51 mm (2 in) 89 mm (3.5 in)
| | |---|
NOTE For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in) from the edges of the envelope. Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet.
######### Envelope storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope might wrinkle during printing.
###### Labels
CAUTION To avoid damaging the device, use only labels recommended for laser printers. To prevent serious jams, always use tray 1 to print labels and always use the rear output bin. Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels.
Label construction When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
| |
|---|
###### Transparencies
Transparencies used in the product must be able to withstand 200°C (392°F), which is the product fusing temperature.
| | |---|
CAUTION To avoid damaging the product, use only transparencies recommended for laser printers. To prevent serious jams, always use tray 1 to print transparencies and always use the rear output bin. Never print on the same transparency more than once or print on a partial transparency.
NOTE Choose transparencies in the printer driver. See Open the printer drivers.
###### Card stock and heavy media
You can print many types of card stock from the 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 performance, do not use paper heavier than 199 g/m2 (53 lb). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, 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.
In either the software program or the printer driver, select Heavy (106 g/m2 to 163 g/m2; 28- to 43-lb bond) or Cardstock (135 g/m2 to 216 g/m2; 50- to 80-lb cover) as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return the product back to its original settings after the job has printed.
######### Card stock construction
CAUTION To avoid damaging the device, use only card stock recommended for laser printers. To prevent serious jams, always use tray 1 to print on card stock and always use the rear output bin.
###### Letterhead and preprinted forms
Letterhead is premium paper that often has a watermark, sometimes uses cotton fiber, and is available in a wide range of colors and finishes with matching envelopes. Preprinted forms can be made of a broad spectrum of paper types ranging from recycled to premium.
Many manufacturers now design these grades of paper with properties optimized for laser printing and advertise the paper as laser compatible or laser guaranteed. Some of the rougher surface finishes, such as cockle, laid, or linen, might require the special fuser modes that are available on some printer models to achieve adequate toner adhesion.
| | |---|
NOTE Some page-to-page variation is normal when printing with laser printers. This variation cannot be observed when printing on plain paper. However, this variation is obvious when printing on preprinted forms because the lines and boxes are already placed on the page.
To avoid problems when using preprinted forms, embossed paper, and letterhead, observe the following guidelines:
| | |---|
NOTE To print a single-page cover letter on letterhead, followed by a multiple-page document, feed the letterhead face up in tray 1, and load the standard paper in tray 2. The device automatically prints from tray 1 first.
#### Select print media
This device accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper, including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper; envelopes; labels; transparencies; and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect device performance and output quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines that are outlined in this manual can cause the following problems:
| | |---|
NOTE Some paper might meet all of the guidelines in this manual 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 purchasing large quantities of media, make sure that it meets the requirements that are specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide, which is available for download at www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide. Always test paper before buying large quantities.
CAUTION Using media that does not meet HP specifications can cause problems for the device, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.

1 The printer supports a wide range of standard and custom sizes of print media. Capacity can vary depending on media weight and thickness and environmental conditions. Smoothness should be 100 to 250 (Sheffield). For ordering information, see Supplies and accessories.
#### Printing and paper-storage environment
Ideally, the printing and paper-storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or too humid. Remember paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can distort. This can cause jams.
As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be easily used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods might experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to a large supply of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environmental damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper-storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum product performance. The required condition is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to 55%. The following guidelines should be helpful when evaluating the paper's storage environment:
ENWW Printing and paper-storage environment 59
#### Load media
Load special print media, such as envelopes, labels, and transparencies, in tray 1 only. Load only paper in tray 2 or optional tray 3.
###### Load tray 1 (multipurpose tray)
Tray 1 holds up to 100 sheets of paper, up to 75 transparencies, up to 50 sheets of labels, or up to 10 envelopes. For information about loading special media, see Load special media.
| | |---|
NOTE Do not add media to tray 1 while the device is printing. This could cause a jam. Do not close the front door when the device is printing.
###### Customize tray 1 operation
The device can be set to print from tray 1 if it is loaded, or to print only from tray 1 if the type of media that is loaded is specifically requested. See Paper Handling menu.
Setting Explanation TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY
The device usually pulls media from tray 1 first unless it is empty or closed. If you do not keep media in tray 1 all the time, or if you use tray 1 only to manually feed media, keep the default setting of TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY and TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY on the Paper Handling menu.
TRAY 1 TYPE= or TRAY 1 SIZE= a type other than ANY
The device treats tray 1 like the other trays. Instead of looking for media in tray 1 first, the device pulls media from the tray that matches type and size settings that are selected in the software.
In the printer driver, you can select media from any tray (including tray 1) by type, size, or source. To print by type and size of paper, see Type and Size.
You can also determine whether the device shows a prompt to ask if it can pull media from tray 1 if it cannot find the type and size that you requested in another tray. You can set the device to always prompt you before pulling from tray 1 or only prompt you if tray 1 is empty. Set the USE REQUESTED TRAY setting on the System Setup submenu of the Configure Device menu.
###### Load tray 2 and optional tray 3
Trays 2 and 3 support only paper. For supported paper sizes, see Select print media.
###### Load special media
The following table provides guidelines for loading special media and configuring the printer driver. Use the correct media-type setting in the printer driver to obtain the best print quality. For some types of media, the product reduces the print speed.
| | |---|
NOTE In the Windows printer driver, adjust the media type on the Paper tab in the Type is drop-down list. In the Macintosh printer driver, adjust the media type on the Printer features pop-up menu in the Media type drop-down list.

#### Control print jobs
In Windows, three settings affect how the printer driver pulls media when you send a print job. The
Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print, or Print Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. If you do not change these settings, the device automatically uses the default device settings to select a tray.
CAUTION Make device setup changes through the software program or the printer driver
whenever possible, because changes that you make at the control panel become default settings for subsequent print jobs. Settings selected in the software or the printer driver override controlpanel settings.
###### Source
Print by Source to specify a tray from which the device will pull media. The device tries to print from this tray, no matter what type or size is loaded in it. If you select a tray that is configured for a type or size that does not match your print job, the job does not proceed until you load the tray with the correct type or size. If you load the tray correctly, the device begins printing. If you press , you can select another tray.
| | |---|
NOTE If you have difficulties printing by Source, see Priority for print settings.
###### Type and Size
Print by Type or Size when you want to pull media from the first tray that is loaded with the type or size that you select. Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays and helps protect special media from accidental use. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead, and you specify that the driver print on plain paper, the device will not pull media from that tray, but will pull paper from a tray that has plain paper loaded and is configured for plain paper.
| | |---|
NOTE Selecting the Any setting negates the tray lock-out function.
Selecting media by type and size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and overhead transparencies. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by Type for special print media, such as labels or transparencies. Always print by Size for envelopes.
| | |---|
NOTE If all of the tray type settings are set to ANY, and if you do not select a specific tray (source) in the printer driver, the device pulls media from the lowest tray. For example, if you have an optional tray 3 installed, the device pulls media from that tray first. However, if the tray 1 size and type settings are set to ANY and if media is loaded in the tray, then the device prints from tray 1 first. If tray 1 is closed, the device prints from the lowest tray.
ENWW Control print jobs 67
#### Select output bins
The device has two output bins into which it places finished print jobs:
| | |---|
###### Print to the top output bin
###### Print to the rear output bin
| | |---|
NOTE When tray 1 and the rear output bin are used together, they provide a straight-through paper path for your print job. Using a straight-through paper path can reduce curling.

#### Manage supplies
Using, storing, and monitoring the print cartridge can help ensure high-quality output.
###### Supplies life
The average cartridge yield is 6,500 pages (for the Q7551A cartridge) or 13,000 pages (for the Q7551X cartridge), in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. Actual cartridge yield depends on specific use.
CAUTION EconoMode is a feature that allows the device to use less toner per page. Selecting this option may extend the life of the toner supply and may reduce cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there may be toner supply remaining in the cartridge.

############ 1 SIZE and TRAY 1 TYPE to a setting other than ANY.
#### Solve general print problems
Device selects media from the wrong tray.
Cause Solution
The tray selection in the software program might be incorrect. For many software programs, the paper tray selection is found
on the Page Setup menu within the program. Remove any media in other trays to make the device select from the correct tray. For Macintosh computers, use the HP Printer Utility to change the priority of the tray.
The configured size does not match the size of the media that is loaded in the tray.
Through the control panel, change the configured size to match the size of the media that is loaded in the tray.
Device does not pull paper from tray. Cause Solution The tray is empty. Load paper in the tray. The paper guides are set incorrectly. To set the guides correctly, see Load media.
For tray 2 and tray 3, make sure that the leading edge of the paper stack is even. An uneven edge can prevent the lift plate from rising.
Paper curls when it exits the device.
Cause Solution
The paper curls when it exits to the top output bin. Open the rear output bin to allow the paper to exit in a straight path through the device. Turn over the paper that you are printing on. Reduce the fusing temperature to reduce the curling. (See Print Quality submenu)
Print job is extremely slow. Cause Solution The job might be very complex. The maximum speed of the device cannot be exceeded even when more memory is added. Printing speeds might be automatically reduced when printing on custom-sized media.
Reduce the complexity of the page or try adjusting the printquality settings. If this problem occurs frequently, add memory to the device.
Note: Slower speeds are expected when printing on narrow paper, when printing from tray 1, or when using the HIGH 2 fuser mode.
You are printing a PDF or PostScript (PS) file but are using a PCL device driver.
Try using the PS device driver rather than the PCL device driver. (You can usually do this from a software program.)
Print job prints on both sides of the paper.
Cause Solution
The device is set for duplexing. See Open the printer drivers to change the setting, or see the online Help.
Print job contains only one page but the device processes the back side of the page as well (the page comes part of the way out, and then goes back into the device).
Cause Solution
The device is set for duplexing. Even if the print job contains only one page, the device also processes the back side.
See Open the printer drivers to change the setting, or see the online Help.
Do not try to pull the page out of the device before duplexing is complete. Jamming might result.
Pages print, but are totally blank.
Cause Solution
The sealing tape might still be on the print cartridge. Remove the print cartridge and pull out the sealing tape.
Reinstall the print cartridge. The file might have blank pages. Check the file to make sure that it does not contain blank pages.
The device prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete.
Cause Solution
The device cable is loose or defective. Disconnect the device cable and reconnect it. Try a print job
that you know works. If possible, attach the cable and device to another computer and try a print job that you know works. Finally, try a new cable.
ENWW Solve general print problems 109
The device prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. Cause Solution The wrong driver was selected in the software. Check the software device selection menu to make sure that
an HP LaserJet P3005 device is selected. The software program is malfunctioning. Try printing a job from another program.
The device does not respond when you select Print in the software. Cause Solution The device is out of media. Add media. The device might be in the manual-feed mode. Change the device from manual-feed mode. The cable between the computer and the device is not connected correctly.
Disconnect and reconnect the cable.
The device cable is defective. If possible, attach the cable to another computer and print a
job that you know works. You might also try using a different cable.
The wrong device was selected in the software. Check the software device selection menu to make sure that
an HP LaserJet P3005 device is selected. The device might have a jam. Clear any jams, paying careful attention to the duplexer area
(if your model has a duplexer). See Clear jams.
The software for the device is not configured for the device port.
Check the software device selection menu to make sure that it is using the correct port. If the computer has more than one port, make sure that the device is attached to the correct one.
The device is on a network and is not receiving a signal. Check cable connections. Reinstall the printing software. Print
a job that you know works. Clear any stopped jobs from the print queue.
The device is not receiving power. If no lights are on, check the power cord connections. Check
the power switch. Check the power source.
The device is malfunctioning. Check the control-panel display for messages and lights to determine if the device is indicating an error. Note any message and see Control-panel messages.
#### Control-panel message types
Four types of control-panel messages can indicate the status of or problems with the device.
Message type Description Status messages Status messages reflect the current state of the device. They inform you of normal device operation
and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the device changes. Whenever the device is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message Ready appears if the device is online.
Warning messages Warning messages inform you of data and print errors. These messages typically alternate with
the Ready or status messages and remain until the button is pressed. Some warning messages are clearable. If CLEARABLE WARNINGS is set to JOB on the device CONFIGURE DEVICE menu, the next print job clears these messages.
Error messages Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding paper or clearing
a jam. Some error messages are auto-continuable. If AUTO-CONTINUE is set on the menus, the device will continue normal operation after an auto-continuable error message appears for 10 seconds.
| | |---|
NOTE Pressing any button during the 10-second auto-continuable error message overrides the auto-continue feature, and the button function takes precedence. For example, pressing the Stop button pauses printing and offers the option to cancel the print job.
Critical-error messages Critical error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by turning the device off and then on. These messages are not affected by the AUTO-CONTINUE setting. If a critical error persists, service is required.

See Load media for more information.
#### Common causes of jams
The device is jammed.1
Cause Solution
The media does not meet specifications. Use only media that meets HP specifications. See Media considerations.
A component is installed incorrectly. Verify that all print cartridges, the transfer unit, and the fuser
are correctly installed.
You are using media that has already passed through a device or copier.
Do not use media that has been previously printed on or copied.
An input tray is loaded incorrectly. Remove any excess media from the input tray. Make sure that
the stack is below the maximum stack height mark in the tray. See Load media.
The media is skewed. The input-tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust them
so they hold the stack firmly in place without bending it. The media is binding or sticking together. Remove the media, flex it, rotate it 180°, or flip it over. Reload
the media into the input tray.
| | |---|
NOTE Do not fan paper. Fanning can create static electricity, which can cause paper to stick together.
The media is removed before it settles into the output bin. Reset the device. Wait until the page completely settles in the
output bin before removing it.
During two-sided printing, you removed the paper before the second side of the document was printed.
Reset the device and print the document again. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it.
The media is in poor condition. Replace the media. The internal rollers from tray 2 or tray 3 are not picking up the media.
Remove the top sheet of media. If the media is heavier than 163 g/m2 (43 lb), it might not be picked from the tray.
The media has rough or jagged edges. Replace the media. The media is perforated or embossed. Perforated or embossed media does not separate easily. Feed
single sheets from tray 1. Device supply items have reached the end of their useful life. Check the device control panel for messages prompting you
to replace supplies, or print a supplies status page to verify the remaining life of the supplies. See Use information pages.
Paper was not stored correctly. Replace the paper in the trays. Paper should be stored in the
original packaging in a controlled environment. 1 If the device still continues to jam, contact HP Customer Support or your authorized HP service provider.

|1|Print cartridge| |---|---| |2|Input trays| |3|Output bins| |4|Duplex path (for two-sided printing)|
###### Jam recovery
This device automatically provides jam recovery, a feature that you can use to set whether the device should attempt to automatically reprint jammed pages.
| | |---|
NOTE During the recovery process, the device might reprint pages that were printed before the jam occurred. Be sure to remove any duplicated pages.
To improve print speed and increase memory resources, you might want to disable the jam recovery.
########## Turn off jam recovery
#### Clear jams
When clearing jams, be very careful not to tear the media. If a small piece of media remains in the device, it could cause additional jams.
The SHOW ME HOW control-panel menu includes a page that shows how to clear jams. See Show Me How menu.
###### Clear jams from the input-tray areas
| | |---|
NOTE To remove media from the tray 1 area, slowly pull the media out of the device. For all other trays, complete the following procedure.
| | |---|
NOTE Do not force the paper if it will not move easily. If the paper is stuck in a tray, try removing it through the tray above (if applicable) or through the top-cover area.
###### Clear jams from the print-cartridge area
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.
CAUTION Avoid spilling loose toner. Use a dry, lint-free cloth, to clean any toner that might have fallen into the device. If loose toner falls into the device, it might cause temporary problems with print quality. Loose toner should clear from the paper path after a few pages are printed. If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. (Hot water sets toner into fabric.)
If a jam message persists, there is still media in the device. Look for media in other locations.
###### Clear jams from the output-bin areas
| | |---|
NOTE If media is jammed in the top output area, but most of the media is still inside the device, it is best to remove it through the rear door.
| | |---|
NOTE If media is difficult to remove, try opening the top cover and removing the print cartridge to release pressure on the media.

#### Overview
One dual inline memory module (DIMM) slot is available for upgrading the device with the following items:
| | |---|
NOTE Single inline memory modules (SIMMs) used in previous HP LaserJet devices are not compatible with the device.
The device also has one EIO slot for expanding the device networking capabilities. The EIO slot can be used to upgrade the device with an additional network connection, such as a wireless print server, network card, or a connectivity card for a serial or AppleTalk connection.
| | |---|
NOTE Some HP LaserJet P3005 series devices come with a network device already installed. The EIO slot may be used to provide networking capabilities in addition to those already built into the device.
To find out how much memory is installed in the device, or to find out what is installed in the EIO slots, print a configuration page. See Use information pages.
#### Install memory
You might want to add more memory to the device if you often print complex graphics, print PostScript (PS) documents, or use many downloaded fonts. Added memory also gives you more flexibility in supporting job-storage features, such as quick copying.
###### Install device memory
CAUTION Static electricity can damage DIMMs. When handling DIMMs, either wear an antistatic wrist strap or frequently touch the surface of the DIMM antistatic package, then touch bare metal on the device.
The HP LaserJet P3005 devices come with one DIMM slot. If desired, you can replace a DIMM installed in the slot with a higher memory DIMM.
If you have not already done so, print a configuration page to find out how much memory is installed in the device before adding more memory. See Use information pages.
| | | |---|---| | | |
| | |
|---|---| | | | | | |
CAUTION To reduce the possibility of damage caused by static electricity, always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap or touch the surface of the antistatic package before handling DIMMs.
| | |---|
NOTE To remove a DIMM, first release the locks.
| | | |---|---| | | | | | |
| | | |---|---| | | |
#### Check DIMM installation
After installing the DIMM, make sure that the installation was successful.
########## Verify that DIMM is installed correctly
| | |---|
NOTE If you installed a device language (personality), check the "Installed Personalities and Options" section on the configuration page. This area should list the new device language.
ENWW Check DIMM installation 187
#### Save resources (permanent resources)
Utilities or jobs that you download to the device sometimes include resources (for example, fonts, macros, or patterns). Resources that are internally marked as permanent remain in the device memory until you turn the device power off.
Use the following guidelines if you use the page description language (PDL) ability to mark resources as permanent. For technical details, see an appropriate PDL reference for PCL or PS.
| | |---|
NOTE Overusing permanent resources or downloading them while the device is printing might affect device performance or the ability to print complex pages.
#### Enable memory for Windows
ENWW Enable memory for Windows 189
#### Use HP Jetdirect print server cards
Follow these procedures to install or remove an EIO card.
###### Install an HP Jetdirect print server card
