HP LaserJet Professional P1100 Printer series - User Guide

Moisture
NOTE: This product dissipates heat by using convective cooling.
The heat and moisture generated by the printing process escape
through vents in the product exterior or through the output bin
area.
Verify normal product operation
The release of moisture is a result of normal product operation.
However, HP recommends using the following steps to verify that
the product is releasing steam and does not have a functional
problem.
1. Turn the product off, and then on.
2. Send a print job to the product, and then verify that the
product is operating correctly.
3. When printing a job and vapor is visible, immediately reprint
the job using the same sheet of paper. There should be
either no visible vapor, or much less vapor during the
printing process.
