2 Basic operations Overview This chapter introduces the basic copying, sending, and printing operations of the HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series. Specific information about each of these functions is presented in later chapters.
Using the ADF Using the automatic document feeder (ADF) is a fast, convenient way to feed multipage originals for copying or digital-sending. You can load the ADF with as many as 30 sheets of paper. The ADF accepts documents that meet the following specifications: Note ● single-sided or double-sided originals ● documents on standard letter-, A4-, and legal-size paper ● documents ranging in size from 148.5 by 210.0 mm (5.9 by 8.3 inches) to 215.9 by 355.6 mm (8.5 by 14.
Using the scanner glass You can also use the digital-sending and copying features by using the scanner glass, located below the ADF. The scanner can accommodate letter- or A4-size and smaller originals, books, manuals, receipts, and similar documents. Irregular and worn documents, stapled documents, and photographs can also easily be sent or copied using the scanner glass. Multiple-page, letter-size documents can be fed using the ADF. To send or copy larger documents, see “Using the ADF” on page 20.
Selecting the output bin The printer has two output locations: the rear output bin and the top output bin. To use the top output bin, be sure the rear output bin is closed. To use the rear output bin, open it. ● If paper coming out of the top output bin has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output bin. ● To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the printer is printing.
Loading Tray 1 1 3 Tray 1 is a multipurpose tray that holds as many as 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes, or 20 sheets of cardstock. The default action is to pull media from Tray 1 first. To change the default, see “Customizing trays for printing or copying” on page 63. Tray 1 provides a convenient way to print envelopes, transparencies, custom-size media, or other types of special media without unloading the other trays. It can also be used as an additional input tray.
Loading Tray 2 and optional Trays 3 and 4 1 4 Trays 2, 3, and 4 are 500-sheet media input trays. Tray 2 is standard on the HP LaserJet 4100 mfp. Trays 2 and 3 are standard on the HP LaserJet 4101 mfp, and Tray 4 is an available option. Both Trays 3 and 4 are available as options for the HP 4100 LaserJet mfp. The trays adjust for six standard sizes and many custom sizes (for details, see “Supported paper sizes and weights for Trays 2, 3, and 4” on page 115).
Using special media This section discusses printing and copying on types of media that require special handling: ● small or narrow paper ● letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper ● envelopes ● labels ● transparencies ● cards and custom-size or heavy paper Using small or narrow paper Follow these guidelines if you plan to print or copy primarily on small or narrow media: ● Use the 6,000-page toner cartridge (part number C8061A).
Using envelopes You can print many types of envelopes from Tray 1. As many as ten envelopes can be stacked in the tray. For information about acceptable envelope specifications, see “Envelopes” on page 120. Printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing a large quantity. To print envelopes: CAUTION ● In your software program, set the margins at least 15 mm (0.6 inch) from the edge of the envelope.
Using labels To ensure excellent printing quality and avoid damage to the product, use only labels that are recommended for use in laser printers. Make sure that the labels meet the correct specifications (see “Labels” on page 119). Do: ● Print a stack of as many as 50 sheets of labels from Tray 1. ● Load labels in Tray 1 with the side to be printed facing up, and the top, short edge toward the product.
Using cards and custom-size or heavy paper Custom-size paper can be printed or copied from any tray. For acceptable paper specifications, see “Paper specifications” on page 113. Tray Minimum size Maximum size Tray 1 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 inches) 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14.0 inches) Tray 2, 3, or 4 148 by 210 mm (5.8 by 8.2 inches) 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14.0 inches) The maximum acceptable paper weight is 199 g/m2 (53 lb) from Tray 1 and 105 g/m2 (28 lb) from Tray 2, 3, or 4.
Duplex copying and printing If a duplexer is installed, you can print or copy on both sides of the paper. The duplexer supports the following media sizes: ● Letter ● Legal ● Executive ● A4 ● B5 (JIS) The duplexer does not support custom sizes. Note The Tray 2 dust cover must be removed when the duplexer is installed. See the documentation included with the duplexer for installation and usage instructions.
Media placement requiring specific orientation Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you duplex—for example, letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks or prepunched holes. The duplexer prints or copies on the second side of the paper first. Orient the paper in the trays as shown below. Tray 1 Trays 2, 3, 4 When using Tray 1, load the paper with the front side facing down and the top toward you.
Layout options for duplexing The four available duplexing orientation options are shown below. These options can be selected in the printer driver, through the Copy Settings screen, or by selecting the BINDING option from the Printing menu at the control panel. 1. Long-edge portrait 2. Long-edge landscape* 3. Short-edge portrait* 4. Short-edge landscape Note 1 Long-edge portrait This is the default product setting and the most common layout used. Every printed image is oriented right-side up.
Job-handling priorities The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series is designed to handle multiple jobs efficiently. Scanning and printing functions operate independently. You can use the scanner for digital-sending while a network printing job is underway, and printing can proceed while the scanner is in use. Note ● To scan a job for sending or copying while printing is underway, place the document in the ADF or on the scanner glass and press START.

7 Product maintenance Overview This chapter explains basic product maintenance procedures for the HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series. These include: CAUTION ● managing the toner cartridge ● cleaning the product ● performing preventative maintenance Turn the main power-switch off and unplug the MFP before you disconnect any cables or accessories, and before you perform preventive maintenance or cleaning.
Managing the toner cartridge HP toner cartridges When you use an HP toner cartridge (part number C8061A or C8061X), you can obtain the following supplies information from the embedded Web server: ● amount of toner remaining ● estimated number of pages remaining ● number of pages printed ● other supplies information Toner cartridge authentication HP cannot recommend use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new or remanufactured.
Toner low and toner out conditions When toner is low, the control panel displays a TONER LOW message and the product continues to print. The message first appears when about 15 percent of the toner remains in the cartridge. When the cartridge runs out of toner, the control panel displays a TONER OUT message and printing stops. You can continue printing the current job by pressing START. The message continues to appear for every job until you replace the toner cartridge.
Cleaning procedure 1 1 Turn the product off and unplug the power cord. 2 Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge. WARNING! Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The adjacent fusing area might be hot. Wait half an hour until the fuser cools. 2 CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. 3 3 4 Wipe any dust or dirt off the paper-feed guides (shaded areas) with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning the fuser Run the cleaning page to keep the fuser free of toner and paper particles that can sometimes accumulate. Accumulation of toner and particles can cause specks to appear on the front or back side of your jobs (see “Specks” on page 97). To ensure optimal output quality, HP recommends that you use the cleaning page every time you replace the toner cartridge or that you establish an automatic cleaning schedule.
Cleaning the ADF paper delivery guide CAUTION 1 Turn the power off. 2 Wipe the outside of the product with a dampened cloth. 3 Raise the ADF. 4 Open the delivery guide by pressing in the small plastic handles on either side of the delivery guide. 5 Remove the clear, plastic sheet. 6 Use a clean, soft, dry cloth to wipe the inside surface of the clear, plastic sheet. Do not use water, liquid detergents, or solvents. Liquids might drip down into the mechanical parts and damage them.
Cleaning the scanner glass ● Clean the glass only if dirt is visible, or if you are experiencing a decrease in copy quality (such as streaking). ● Clean the glass surface by wiping it gently with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth. Use an ammonia-based surface cleaner to dampen the cloth. CAUTION Do not pour or spray liquids directly onto the glass. CAUTION Do not press hard on the glass surface. You might break the glass. Cleaning the calibration strip 1 Raise the ADF.
Performing preventative maintenance You should replace certain parts when the PERFORM PRINTER MAINTENANCE message appears on the product control panel display. This helps ensure that the product maintains optimal performance. The maintenance message will appear every 200,000 pages. To check the number of pages the product has printed, print either a configuration page or a supplies status page (see “Reaching the embedded Web server” on page 139 for details).
8 Problem solving Overview This chapter will help you troubleshoot and solve problems that might occur while using the HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series. Clearing jams Occasionally, media might jam during copying and printing. This section helps you locate jams, properly clear them from the product, and solve repeated jams. Understanding control panel error messages Many of the messages that appear on the control panel are selfexplanatory.
Clearing jams If the control panel display shows a jam message, look for media in the locations indicated in the figure on the next page, and then see the procedure for clearing the jam. You might need to look for media in locations other than those indicated in the jam message. If the location of the jam is not obvious, look first in the top cover area underneath the toner cartridge. When clearing jams, be very careful not to tear the media.
Clearing jams from the top cover and toner cartridge area 1 1 Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge. CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. 2 2 Use the green handle to lift the paper-access plate. 3 Slowly pull the media out of the product. Do not tear the media. Note If media is difficult to remove, try clearing it from the input tray area (see “Clearing jams from input trays” on page 80). 3 Avoid spilling loose toner.
6 6 Replace the entrance cover and close Tray 1. 7 Reinstall the toner cartridge and close the top cover. 8 If a jam message persists, there is still media in the product. Look for media in another location (see “Jam locations” on page 78). If you are using a non-HP toner cartridge, the message NON HP TONER DETECTED might appear on the control panel display. Press START to continue printing or copying. 7 Clearing jams from input trays 1 Tray 1 Slowly pull out the paper tray.
Clearing jams from the duplexer 1 2 1 Open the duplexer’s rear door. 2 Slowly pull any media out of the duplexer. 3 Remove the duplexer by lifting it slightly and pulling it out of the product. 4 From the rear of the product, remove any media that is on top of Tray 2. (You might need to reach inside the product.) 5 Slowly pull any media out of the duplexer. 6 Turn the duplexer over and remove any media. Continued on the next page.
7 7 Reinsert the duplexer into the product. 8 Open and close the top cover to clear the jam message. 9 If a jam message persists, media remains in the product. Look for media in another location (see “Jam locations” on page 78). Clearing jams from the rear output slot 1 Note If most of the media remains inside the product, it is best to remove it through the top cover area. (See “Clearing jams from the top cover and toner cartridge area” on page 79.) 1 Open the rear output slot.
Clearing jams from the fuser area Use this procedure to remove jams from the fuser area: 2 3 ● when media has jammed inside the fuser and cannot otherwise be removed. ● when a page has torn while you were trying to clear a jam from the fuser. 1 Turn the product off. WARNING! To avoid minor burns, wait 30 minutes for the fuser to cool before continuing with this procedure. 4 5 2 Turn the product so its rear cover faces you and remove the Tray 2 dust cover or optional duplexer.
8 8 Remove the media that has jammed. CAUTION Do not use a sharp object to clear media from the fuser area. You might damage the fuser. 9 9 Replace the fuser, left side first. Be sure to push the fuser firmly into the product. 10 Lock the fuser in place by rotating the levers to the horizontal position. 11 Replace the rear output slot, left side first. 12 Plug the power cord into the product. 13 Replace the Tray 2 dust cover or the optional duplexer. 14 Turn the MFP on.
Solving repeated jams If jams occur frequently, try the following: ● Check all possible jam locations (see “Clearing jams” on page 78). A piece of media might be stuck somewhere in the product. Even a small torn piece of media in the paper path can cause repeated jams. ● If using a duplexer, check all areas of the MFP (including under the duplexer). ● Check that media is correctly loaded in the trays, that all three tray adjustments have been made, and that the trays are not overfilled.
Understanding control panel messages The tables in this section explain common messages that might appear on the control panel display. Within each table, the messages and their meanings are listed in alphabetical order, with numbered messages listed at the end of the tables.
Control panel messages (continued) Message Explanation or recommended action CANNOT DUPLEX CLOSE REAR BIN The product cannot duplex because the rear output slot is open. Close the rear output slot. CHECK INPUT DEVICE alternates with PAPER PATH OPEN PLEASE CLOSE IT The optional input tray cannot feed media to the product because a door or paper guide is open. Check the doors and paper guides and close any that are open.
Control panel messages (continued) Message Explanation or recommended action INTERRUPT COPY JOB Do you want to interrupt the job currently being copied? Yes/No. If the job is interrupted, it will resume as soon as your job is completed. MANUALLY FEED [TYPE] [SIZE] Load the requested media into Tray 1. Press START if the desired media is already loaded in Tray 1. MEMORY FULL STORED DATA LOST There is no available memory.
Control panel messages (continued) Message Explanation or recommended action TONER LOW The message first appears when about 15 percent of the toner remains in the toner cartridge (at 5 percent coverage, about 1,500 pages remain for the 10,000-page cartridge and about 900 pages remain for the 6,000-page cartridge). Depending on how the product has been configured, it either continues to print or stops.You might want to ensure that you have a replacement toner cartridge available.
Control panel messages (continued) Message Explanation or recommended action TRAY 1 SIZE = [xxxx] The product is asking what size of media has been loaded in Tray 1. In response, you can take either of the following actions: ● Press to accept the current media size. ● Press the down navigation arrow to change the size and then press to accept the new size. The product will first display the TRAY 1 TYPE=xxxx message (see the description of that message).
Control panel messages (continued) Message Explanation or recommended action ##.XX.YY This message indicates a failure in the scanner device. This is not a communications failure. XX specifies the reporting systems (scanner job control, copy/send application, scanner service agent) and YY specifies the error condition. These are represented as ##.XX.YY in the event log.
Control panel messages (continued) Message Explanation or recommended action 41.3 UNEXPECTED PAPER SIZE alternates with EXPECTED [TYPE] [SIZE] The product detected a media size other than what was specified. This is typically caused if two or more sheets stick together in the product or if the paper tray is not properly adjusted. Reload the tray with the correct media size and ensure that media in the tray is loaded under the front and back tabs.
Control panel messages (continued) Message Explanation or recommended action 55.XX PRINTER ERROR alternates with CYCLE POWER TO CONTINUE A temporary printing error occurred. Press START. The page containing the error automatically reprints if jam recovery is enabled. If the error does not clear, turn the product off, and then turn the product on. 56.X PRINTER ERROR alternates with CYCLE POWER TO CONTINUE A temporary printing error occurred.

Turn the product off, and then turn the product on. Try printing a job from a different software program. If the job prints, go back to the first program and try printing a different file. (If the message appears only with a certain software program or print job, contact the software vendor for assistance.) 8X.
Understanding mopy disk-error messages The following table lists the mopy disk error numbers reported on the collation or job storage disk error pages that are printed when an error occurs. Mopy disk error messages Disk error no. Error description Solution 1 Disk volume not present—it may be uninitialized. Initialize the hard disk. If the problem persists, replace the hard drive. 3 A requested file or directory could not be found. Possible data corruption has occurred.
Troubleshooting the hard disk Troubleshooting the hard disk Item Explanation The product does not recognize the hard disk. Turn the product off and verify that the hard disk is inserted correctly and is securely fastened. Print a configuration page to confirm that the hard disk has been recognized (see “Information menu” on page 37). The disk is not initialized. Use the Windows-based embedded Web server or the Macintoshbased HP LaserJet Utility to initialize the disk.
Correcting output quality problems This section identifies common output quality problems and recommends solutions. Often output quality problems can be handled easily by ensuring that the product is properly maintained, using media that meets HP specifications, or running a cleaning page. If you still experience problems after trying the suggested remedies, contact HP Customer Care Service and Support (see “HP customer care service and support” on page 107).
Dropouts 1 Make sure that the environmental specifications for the product are met (see “General specifications” on page 124). 2 If the paper is rough and the toner easily rubs off, either try changing the fuser mode to High 1 or High 2, or try using a smoother paper. 3 Try changing to a different paper type. Lines 1 Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself.
Toner smear See also “Loose toner” on page 99. 1 Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself. 2 Try using a different type of paper. 3 Make sure that the environmental specifications for the product are being met (see “General specifications” on page 124). 4 Clean the inside of the product (see “Cleaning the product” on page 71) and run a manual cleaning page to clean the fuser (see “Cleaning the fuser” on page 73). 5 Maintenance might be due.
Repeating image This type of defect might occur when using preprinted forms or printing a large quantity of narrow media. 1 Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself. 2 Make sure that paper type and quality meet HP specifications (see “Paper specifications” on page 113).
Wrinkles or creases 1 Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself. 2 Make sure that the environmental specifications for the product are being met (see “General specifications” on page 124). 3 Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also, try rotating the paper 180 degrees. 4 Make sure that paper is loaded correctly, all adjustments have been made, and the paper is under the corner tabs (see “Loading Tray 1” on page 23 and “Loading Tray 2 and optional Trays 3 and 4” on page 24).
ADF recalibration Occasionally a copied image may not appear to be aligned properly on the page. Often this can be corrected by ensuring that the originals are properly loaded into the ADF and that there are no folded corners on any pages, since these could cause improper feeding. However, if the image misalignment appears consistently, you should recalibrate the ADF.
Troubleshooting PostScript issues PostScript troubleshooting Item Explanation A text listing of PS commands prints instead of your PS printing job. The control panel PERSONALITY=AUTO setting might have been confused by a nonstandard PS code. Check the PERSONALITY setting to see if it is set to PS or to PCL. If it is set to PCL, set it to PERSONALITY=AUTO. If it is set to AUTO, set it to PS for this print job only. When the job has printed, return the setting to AUTO.
Troubleshooting optional HP Fast InfraRed Connect problems Troubleshooting HP Fast InfraRed Connect problems Item Explanation FIR port status indicator does not light up. Make sure that the product is in READY mode and that the FIR port you are printing from is IrDA-compliant and within the range of operation described in the user guide for the FIR port Make sure that the FIR port is properly connected to the product.

Supported paper sizes and weights for the ADF (continued) Size Dimensions Weight Special considerations: ● Documents must be free of tears or perforations ● Documents must be square or rectangular and in good condition (not fragile or worn) ● Documents must be free of glue, correction fluid, or wet ink ● Avoid multipart forms. Supported paper sizes for the scanner glass The scanner glass can accommodate: ● letter- or A4-size and smaller originals, books, manuals, receipts, and similar documents.
Guidelines for using paper For best results, use conventional 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) paper. Make sure 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 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 product.
Labels CAUTION To avoid damaging the product, use only labels recommended for use in laser printers. If you have problems printing labels, use Tray 1 and open the rear output slot. Do not print on the same sheet of labels more than once—peeling and adhesive contamination might result. Label construction When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: ● Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 230° C (446° F), the product’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 components listed below. Many envelope manufacturers are now making envelopes optimized for laser printers.
Card stock and heavy paper Many types of card stock can be printed from Tray 1, 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 optimal product performance, do not use paper heavier than 199 g/m2 (53 lb) in Tray 1 or 105 g/m2 (28 lb) in other trays. Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.

D System administrator guide Overview This portion of the Use guide provides important information for the system administrator who sets up, configures, and maintains the hp LaserJet 4100 mfp series.
Using the embedded Web server A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The embedded Web server allows you to display status information, change settings, and manage the product from your computer. The embedded Web server is an integral component of the product hardware and does not need to be installed separately.
Reaching the embedded Web server You can reach the product’s home page through the embedded Web server by entering the product’s IP address, or through HP Web JetAdmin. Note HP Web JetAdmin is not included in the product installation software, but can be downloaded from the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin. In the embedded Web server, you can: ● set up a support contact and support URLs. ● set up a password to control who can remotely access the networking pages.
Changing an IP address Use the following procedures if you have to change the product’s TCP/IP address for any reason. HP Web JetAdmin Open HP Web JetAdmin. Enter the TCP/IP address in the Quick Device Search, and click GO. At the top menu bar, follow this procedure for discovery options. 1 Choose the drop-down menu and click Devices. 2 From the drop-down menu, click New Devices. Click GO.
Configuring multitasking priorities The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series allows processing of several jobs simultaneously. System defaults are set to give the walk-up user priority over jobs coming in over the network. The user can send digital documents while the MFP is printing. If a print job is in progress, the MFP scans in the originals and waits to begin copying until printing is complete, or, if the print job is a collated mopy job, until the next collated set is complete.
Hold off print job submenu This option permits the administrator to determine whether or not network print jobs should be prevented from printing for a certain period of time after completion of a copy job, or if the control panel is accessed. When this option is ON, a walk-up user is given control of the MFP and is allowed a specified period of time to make a copy or send an email.
Using digital-sending settings The digital-sending settings page of the embedded Web server allows you to configure e-mail settings for outgoing and incoming mail. This enables you to use “send and receive” capabilities. Through this page, you can: ● enable and disable the digital-sending service and establish a maximum file size. ● set the SMTP address for digital-sending. ● set an alias to be displayed in the From field to replace the full e-mail address. ● set the default Subject field.
Using HP Web JetAdmin with the embedded Web server The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series is fully supported by HP Web JetAdmin, a browserbased management tool typically installed on a network to manage multiple HP products remotely. This tool is generally intended for use by the system administrator. HP Web JetAdmin can be reached through any supported Web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0x or Netscape Navigator 4.0x or later) by browsing to the hp Web JetAdmin home page at http://www.hp.
