Special paper or print media guidelines This product supports printing on special media. Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory results. When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the type and size in your print driver to obtain the best print results. CAUTION: HP LaserJet printers use fusers to bond dry toner particles to the paper in very precise dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat.
Load trays Paper orientation for loading trays If you are using paper that requires a specific orientation, load it according to the information in the following table. Tray Single-sided printing Envelope printing Tray 1 Face-up Front of envelope face-up Top edge leading into the product Short edge with postage leading into the product Face-down Use only Tray 1 for printing envelopes.
Tray 1 Tray 1 is accessed from the front of the printer. Media guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the printer and that the print is not skewed (crooked on the media). When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the width of the media that you are using.
Tray 2 Media guides ensure that the media feeds correctly into the printer and that the print is not skewed. Tray 2 has side and rear media guides. When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the length and width of the media that you are using. 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 reduces jams by preventing multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time.
Manual feed You can use manual feed when printing mixed media. For example, you can use manual feed to print an envelope, then a letter, then an envelope, and so on. Load envelopes in Tray 1 and load letterhead into Tray 2. To print using manual feed, open the printer Properties or Printer Setup, and then select Manual Feed (tray 1) from the Source Tray drop-down list. After you have enabled manual feed, press the Go button to print.
Use paper output options The product has two output locations: the top (standard) output bin and the straight-through paper path (rear output). Print to the top (standard) output bin The top output bin collects paper face-down, and in the correct order. The top output bin should be used for most print jobs, including transparencies. To use the top output bin, be sure that the straight-through paper path is closed.
Print to the straight-through paper path (rear output) The product always uses the straight-through paper path if it is open. Paper exits face-up, with the last page on top (reverse order). Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output provides the straightest path.

Light print or faded ● The print cartridge is nearing end of life. ● Redistribute the toner to extend the life. ● The media might not meet HP's media specifications (for example, the media is too moist or too rough).
Vertical lines The photosensitive drum inside the print cartridge has probably been scratched. Install a new HP print cartridge. Gray background ● Change the media to a lighter basis weight. ● Check the printer's environment. Very dry (low humidity) conditions can increase the amount of background shading. ● The density setting might be too high. Adjust the density setting. ● Install a new HP print cartridge.
Vertical repetitive defects ● The print cartridge might be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs at the same spot on the page, install a new HP print cartridge. ● The internal parts might have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will probably correct itself after a few more printed pages. ● In your printer driver, make sure the appropriate media type is selected. ● If characters are improperly formed, producing hollow images, the media stock might be too slick.
Wrinkles or creases ● Make sure that media is loaded properly. ● Check the media type and quality. ● Open the straight-through output door and try printing straight through. ● Turn over the stack of media in the tray. Also, try rotating the media 180° in the input tray. ● For envelopes, this can be caused by air pockets inside the envelope. Remove the envelope, flatten the envelope, and try printing again.
Solve performance problems Problem Cause Solution Pages print but are totally blank. The sealing tape might still be in the print cartridges. Verify that the sealing tape has been completely removed from the print cartridges. The document might contain blank pages. Check the document that you are printing to see if content appears on all of the pages. The product might be malfunctioning. To check the product, print a Configuration page. Heavier paper types can slow the print job.
Solve connectivity problems Solve direct-connect problems If you have connected the product directly to a computer, check the cable. ● Verify that the cable is connected to the computer and to the product. ● Verify that the cable is not longer than 2 meters (6 feet). Replace the cable if necessary. ● Verify that the cable is working correctly by connecting it to another product. Replace the cable if necessary.
7. If other users are able to print, are they using the same network operating system? Check your system for proper network operating system setup. 8. Is your protocol enabled? Check the status of your protocol on the Configuration page. You can also use the embedded Web server to check the status of other protocols. 9. Does the product appear in HP Web Jetadmin or other management application? ● Verify network settings on the Network configuration page.
Solve common Windows problems Error message: "General Protection FaultException OE" "Spool32" "Illegal Operation" Cause Solution Close all software programs, restart Windows, and try again. Select a different printer driver. You can usually do this from a software program. Delete all temp files from the Temp subdirectory. You can determine the name of the directory by editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and looking for the statement "Set Temp =". The name after this statement is the temp directory.
Solve common Macintosh problems NOTE: Setup for USB and IP printing is performed through the Desktop Printer Utility. The product will not appear in the Chooser. The printer driver is not listed in Print Center. Cause Solution The product software might not have been installed or was installed incorrectly. Make sure that the PPD file is in the following hard drive folder: Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/ .
A print job was not sent to the product that you wanted. Cause Solution The print queue might be stopped. Restart the print queue. Open print monitor and select Start Jobs. The wrong product name or IP address is being used. Another product with the same or similar name, IP address, or Rendezvous host name might have received your print job. Check the product name, IP address, or Rendezvous host name by printing a configuration page. See Print the information pages on page 56.
When connected with a USB cable, the product does not appear in the Macintosh Print Center after the driver is selected. Cause Solution This problem is caused by either a software or a hardware component. Software problem-solving ● Check that your Macintosh supports USB. ● Verify that you are using a Macintosh operating system that this product supports. ● Ensure that your Macintosh has the appropriate USB software from Apple. Hardware problem-solving ● Check that the product is turned on.
