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.

Connect the parallel cable connector (2) to the parallel port (1) on the printer.

The printer supports a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. The USB cable can be a maximum of 5 meters (15 feet) long.

Connect the USB cable:

Plug the Type B USB connector (2) of the USB cable into the Type B USB port (1) on the printer. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the computer.

HP Jetdirect print servers also support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which provides network managers with remote printer management and troubleshooting through the HP Web Jetadmin software.

NOTE: Configure the card either through the control panel, the printer installation software, or with HP Web Jetadmin software. Refer to the HP Jetdirect print server documentation for more information.

Using paper that does not meet specifications can cause lower print quality and increase the chance of jams.

• Do not use paper that is too rough. Use paper with a tested smoothness rating of 100-250 Sheffield.

• Do not use paper, other than standard 3-hole punched paper, that contains cutouts or perforations.

• Do not use multipart forms.

• Do not use paper that has already been printed on, or that has been fed through a photocopier.

• Do not use paper that contains a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.

• Do not use heavily embossed or raised-letterhead papers.

• Do not use papers that have heavily textured surfaces.

• Do not use offset powders or other materials that prevent printed forms from sticking together.

• Do not use paper that has a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

In rare circumstances, paper can damage the device. The following paper must be avoided to prevent possible damage to the device:

• Do not use paper with staples attached.

• Do not use transparencies, labels, or photo or glossy paper designed for Inkjet printers or other low temperature printers. Use only media that is specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.

• Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, offsets, or discolors when exposed to the temperature of the fuser.

• Do not use paper that is embossed or coated, or any media that is not designed to withstand the fusing temperature of the device. Do not use letterhead paper or preprinted forms that are made with dyes or inks that cannot withstand the heat of the fuser.

For complete paper specifications for all HP LaserJet devices, see the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide (available at http://www.hp.com/support/ljpaperguide).

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably. Successful printing depends upon the quality of the envelopes. Consider the following components:

• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m² (28 lb) or jamming might occur.

• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 in) curl, and should not contain air.

• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the product.

• Size: You should use only envelopes within the following size ranges.

• Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)

• Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in)

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the device, use only envelopes recommended for laser printers. To prevent serious jams, always use tray 1 to print envelopes and always use the rear output bin. Never print on the same envelope more than once.

Envelopes with double side seams: This style has vertical seams at both ends rather than diagonal seams and might be more likely to wrinkle. Ensure the seam extends all the way to the corner.

Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps: Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap must use adhesives compatible with the product’s heat and pressure. Extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, jams, or damage the fuser.

Envelope margins:

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 helps print quality. Store envelopes flat. If air is trapped, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

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: Consider the quality of each component:

• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200°C (392°F), the product fusing temperature.

• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between them, causing serious jams.

• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 5 mm (0.2 in) of curl in any direction.

• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

NOTE: Choose labels in the printer driver.

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.

You can print many types of card stock from the input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better due to its construction.

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 configured for heavy paper. Return the product to its original settings after the job has printed.

Card stock construction:

• Smoothness: 135-157 g/m² (36-42 lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield. 60-135 g/m² (16-36 lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-250 Sheffield.

• Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) of curl.

• Condition: Make sure the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

Card stock guidelines:

• Set margins at least 2 mm (0.08 inch) away from the edges.

• Use tray 1 for card stock (135 g/m² to 216 g/m²; 50- to 80-lb cover).

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 is premium paper, often with a watermark, cotton fiber, and available in various colors and finishes. Preprinted forms can be made of various paper types.

Many manufacturers design these papers optimized for laser printing (laser compatible or laser guaranteed). Rougher finishes (cockle, laid, linen) might require special fuser modes for adequate toner adhesion.

NOTE: Some page-to-page variation is normal with laser printers, which might be noticeable on preprinted forms due to existing lines and boxes.

Observe the following guidelines:

• Avoid using low-temperature inks (like those used in some types of thermography).

• Use preprinted forms and letterhead printed by offset lithography or engraving.

• Use forms created with heat-resistant inks that won’t melt, vaporize, or release emissions when heated to 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second (typically, oxidation-set or oil-based inks).

• When preprinting, avoid changing the paper’s moisture content and don’t use materials that change its electrical or handling properties. Seal forms in moisture-proof wrap during storage.

• Avoid processing preprinted forms that have a finish or coating.

• Avoid using heavily embossed or raised-letterhead papers.

• Avoid papers that have heavily textured surfaces.

• Avoid using offset powders or other materials that prevent printed forms from sticking together.

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 standard paper in tray 2. The device automatically prints from tray 1 first.

Table 4-1 Supported media sizes

Ideally, the printing and paper-storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or too humid. Paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.

Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes moisture to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense. Heating systems and air conditioners remove humidity. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers increase humidity. As paper absorbs excess moisture, it can cause light print, dropouts, and distortion leading to jams.

Paper storage and handling are crucial. Avoid purchasing more paper than can be used in about 3 months. Long-term storage can expose paper to damaging heat and moisture extremes.

Unopened paper in sealed reams remains stable for months. Opened packages are more susceptible to environmental damage, especially without a moisture-proof barrier.

Maintain the paper-storage environment properly for optimum performance. The required condition is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to 55%. Guidelines:

• Store paper at or near room temperature.

• The air should not be too dry or too humid.

• Rewrap opened reams tightly in moisture-proof wrapping. In extreme environments, unwrap only the amount needed for the day.

• Store envelopes flat to contribute to print quality. Trapped air (air bubbles) can cause wrinkling during printing.

Load special print media, such as envelopes, labels, and transparencies, in tray 1 only. Tray 1 holds up to 100 sheets of paper, 75 transparencies, 50 labels, or 10 envelopes.

1. Open tray 1 by pulling the front cover down.

2. Slide out the plastic tray extender. If the media being loaded is longer than 229 mm (9 in), also flip open the additional tray extender.

3. Slide the media-width guides slightly wider than the media.

4. Place media into the tray (short-edge in, print-side up). Center the media between the guides and under the tabs on the guides.

5. Slide the media-width guides inward until they lightly touch the media stack without bending it. Ensure the media fits under the tabs.

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.

The device can be set to print from tray 1 if it is loaded, or only when the specific type/size loaded is requested. See the Paper Handling menu in the PDF.

You can also configure whether the device prompts before pulling from tray 1 if the requested type/size isn’t found elsewhere. Set the USE REQUESTED TRAY setting (System Setup submenu) to always prompt or only prompt if tray 1 is empty.

Trays 2 and 3 support only paper.

1. Pull the tray out of the device and remove any paper.

2. On the rear paper-length guide, press the tab and slide it so the pointer matches the paper size you are loading. Ensure the guide clicks into place.

3. Adjust the side media-width guides outward so the pointer matches the paper size you are loading.

4. Place the paper in the tray, ensuring it is flat at all four corners. Keep the paper below the height tabs on the paper-length guide in the rear of the tray.

5. Push down on the paper to lock the metal paper-lift plate in place.

6. Slide the tray into the device.

Use the correct media-type setting in the printer driver for the best print quality. The product may reduce print speed for some media types.

NOTE: In the Windows printer driver, adjust the media type on the Paper tab in the Type is drop-down list.

NOTE: In the Macintosh printer driver, adjust the media type on the Printer features pop-up menu in the Media type drop-down list.

In Windows, Source, Type, and Size settings (found in Page Setup, Print, or Print Properties dialogs) affect how the printer driver pulls media. Default device settings are used if these aren’t changed.

CAUTION: Make device setup changes via software/driver whenever possible, as control panel changes become defaults and are overridden by software/driver settings.

Source: Specify a tray. The device tries to print from this tray regardless of loaded media. If the configured type/size doesn’t match, the job waits until the correct media is loaded or ✓ is pressed to select another tray.

NOTE: If you have difficulties printing by Source, see Priority for print settings in the PDF.

Type and Size: Pull media from the first tray loaded with the selected type or size. This helps protect special media. Example: If a tray is configured for letterhead and the driver specifies plain paper, it won’t pull from that tray but from one with plain paper.

NOTE: Selecting the ‘Any’ setting negates the tray lock-out function.

Selecting by type/size improves quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and transparencies. Always print by Type for special media (labels, transparencies) and by Size for envelopes.

• If trays aren’t configured for a specific type/size, load media into tray 1 and select the Type or Size in the driver.

• Configure trays for frequently used types/sizes via the device administrator (network) or locally. The device then pulls from the configured tray when that type/size is selected.

• When closing tray 2 or 3, a prompt might ask to select Type or Size. If already configured correctly, press ✓ to return to Ready.

NOTE: If all tray type settings are ANY and no specific tray (source) is selected, the device pulls from the lowest tray (e.g., tray 3 if installed). However, if tray 1 settings are ANY and media is loaded, it prints from tray 1 first. If tray 1 is closed, it prints from the lowest tray.

The device has two output bins:

• Top (face-down) output bin: Default bin at the top. Jobs exit face-down.

• Rear (face-up) output bin: Jobs exit face-up at the rear.

NOTE: You cannot use automatic duplex printing when printing to the rear output bin.

1. Make sure that the rear output bin is closed. If open, the device delivers the print job there.

2. If printing on long media, open the top output bin support.

3. From your computer, send the print job to the device.

NOTE: Using tray 1 and the rear output bin together provides a straight-through paper path, which can reduce curling.

1. Open the rear output bin.

2. If printing on long media, pull out the bin extension.

3. From your computer, send the print job to the device.
