When a Web server is "embedded", that means it resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) or in firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.

The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the printer that anyone can access with a network-connected computer or a standard Web browser. There is no special software to install or configure. For more information about the HP embedded Web server, see the Embedded Web Server User Guide. You can find this guide on the CD-ROM included with the printer.

Features

The HP embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network card status and manage printing functions from your computer. With the HP embedded Web server, you can do the following:

• View printer status information.
• Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones.
• View and change tray configurations.

Installing Macintosh printing system software for direct connections (USB)

NOTE Macintosh computers do not support parallel port connections.

This section explains how to install the printing system software for Mac OS 9.1 and 9.2, and Mac OS X v10.2.8 and v10.3.

The Apple PostScript driver must be installed in order to use the PPD files. Use the Apple PostScript driver that came with your Macintosh computer.

To install the printing system software

1. Connect a USB cable between the USB port on the printer and the USB port on the computer. Use a standard 2-meter (6.56-foot) USB cable.
2. Insert the printer CD into the CD-ROM drive and run the installer.

The CD menu runs automatically. If the CD menu does not run automatically, double-click the CD icon on the desktop.

1. Double-click the Installer icon in the HP LaserJet Installer folder.
2. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
3. For Mac OS 9.1 and 9.2:

a. On the computer hard drive, open Applications, open Utilities, and then open Print Center.
b. Double-click Printer (USB), and then click OK.
c. Next to USB Printer Selection, click Change.
d. Select the printer, and then click OK.
e. Next to Postscript Printer Description (PPD) File, click Auto Setup, and then click Create.
f. On the Printing menu, click Set Default Printer.

For Mac OS X v10.2.8 and v10.3: USB queues are created automatically when the printer is attached to the computer. However, the queue will use a generic PPD if the installer has not been run before the USB cable is connected. To change the queue PPD, open the Print Center or Printer Setup Utility, select the correct printer queue, and then click Show Info to open the Printer Info dialog box. In the pop-up menu, select Printer Model, and then, in the pop-up menu in which Generic is selected, select the correct PPD for the printer.

1. Print a test page or a page from any software program to make sure that the software is correctly installed.

If installation fails, reinstall the software. If this fails, see the installation notes or late-breaking readme files on the printer CD or the flyer that came in the printer box, or go to http://www.hp.com/support/clj4700 for help or more information.

NOTE The icon on the Mac OS 9.x desktop looks generic. All of the print panels appear in the Print dialog box with each software program.

To remove software from Macintosh operating systems

To remove the software from a Macintosh computer, drag the PPD files to the trash can.

2 Control panel

This chapter contains information on the printer control panel, which provides control of printer functions and communicates information about the printer and print jobs. The following topics are covered:

Introduction
• Control panel buttons
• Interpreting control panel indicator lights
• Interpreting stapler/stacker indicator light codes
• Control panel menus
- Menu hierarchy
- Retrieve job menu
• Information menu
• Paper handling menu
- Configure device menu
• Diagnostics menu
• Changing printer control panel configuration settings
• Using the printer control panel in shared environments

Introduction

The control panel provides control of printer functions and communicates information about the printer and print jobs. Its display provides graphic information about printer and supplies status, making it easy to identify and correct problems.

The printer communicates via the display and the lights on the lower left side of the control panel. The Ready, Data, and Attention lights provide at-a-glance information about the state of the printer and alert you to printing problems. The display shows more complete status information as well as menus, help information, animations, and error messages.

Display

The four-line control panel display gives you complete, timely information about the printer and print jobs. Graphics illustrate levels of supplies, the locations of paper jams, and job status. Menus give access to printer functions and detailed status information.

The top-level screen on the display has two areas:

1 Paused 2 To return to ready press STOP key

2 Supplies gauge
3	Print cartridge colors are indicated from left to right: black, magenta, cyan, and yellow

The message and prompt areas of the display alert you to the state of the printer and tell you how to respond.

The supplies gauge shows the consumption levels of print cartridges (black, magenta, cyan, and yellow). A ? appears instead of the consumption level when the level is not known. This can occur in the following circumstances:

• Missing cartridges
  • Incorrectly placed cartridges
• Cartridges with an error
  • Some non-HP cartridges

The supplies gauge appears whenever the printer shows the Ready state with no warnings. It will also appear when the printer shows a warning or error message concerning a print cartridge or multiple supplies.

Accessing the control panel from a computer

You can also access the printer control panel from a computer by using the Settings page of the embedded Web server.

The computer shows the same information that the control panel shows. From your computer, you can also perform control panel functions such as checking supplies status, viewing messages, or changing tray configuration. For more information, see Using the embedded Web server.

Control panel buttons

Use the buttons on the control panel to perform printer functions and to navigate and respond to menus and messages in the display.

Control panel menus

You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer through the printer driver or software application. This is the most convenient way to control the printer, and will override the printer control panel settings. See the help files associated with the software, or for more information on accessing the printer driver, see Printer software.

You can also control the printer by changing settings in the printer's control panel. Use the control panel to access printer features not supported by the printer driver or software application. Use the control panel to configure trays for paper size and type.

Getting started basics

• Enter the menus and activate any selection by pressing the Menu button.
• Use the Up or Down arrows (▲▼) to navigate through the menus. In addition to menu navigation, the Up and Down arrows can increase and decrease numerical value selections. Hold down the Up or Down arrows to scroll faster.
• The Back button (5) allows you to move back in menu selections as well as select numerical values when configuring the printer.
• Exit all menus by pressing Menu.
  • If no key is pressed for 60 seconds, the printer will return to the Ready state.
• A lock symbol next to a menu item means a PIN number is needed to use that item. Typically, this number is obtained from your network administrator.

Selecting FIRST allows the printer to pull from a second tray if the specified tray is empty or does not match the settings specified for the print job. EXCLUSIVELY is the default setting.
  MANUALLY FEED PROMPT. If you select ALWAYS (the default value), the system always displays a prompt before pulling from Tray 1 (multipurpose tray). If you select UNLESS LOADED, the system will only display the prompt if Tray 1 is empty.
• PS DEFER MEDIA. This setting affects how non-HP PostScript drivers will behave with the device. There is no need to change this setting if using the drivers supplied by HP. If set to ENABLED, non-HP PostScript drivers will use the HP tray selection method as the HP drivers do. If set to DISABLED, some non-HP PostScript drivers will use the PostScript tray selection method instead of the HP method.
• SIZE/TYPE PROMPT. This option allows you to control whether or not the tray configuration message, and corresponding prompt to change type or size is shown when a tray transitions from opened to closed. Values for this option are Display and DO NOT DISPLAY.
• USE ANOTHER TRAY. This menu item allows you to enable or disable the prompt to select another tray. Values for this option are ENABLED and DISABLED. ENABLED is the default.
• DUPLEX BLANK PAGES. This item allows you to determine how a job is to be duplexed. The available values are AUTO, which is the default value, and YES. If AUTO is selected, blank pages within the print job are not duplexed. If YES is selected, any blank pages within the job are duplexed.
• IMAGE ROTATION. This menu item is available only if an output accessory, such as the stapler/stacker, is not installed. The printer applies a 180° rotation to all pages if this menu item is not available or if STANDARD is selected.

Using the printer control panel in shared environments

Because your printer is shared with other users, adhere to the following guidelines to ensure successful printer operation:

• Consult your system administrator before making changes to control panel settings. Changing control panel settings could affect other print jobs.
• Coordinate with other users before changing the default printer font or downloading soft fonts. Coordinating these operations conserves memory and avoids unexpected printer output.
• Be aware that switching printer personalities, such as Emulated PostScript or PCL, affects the printed output of other users.

NOTE Your network operating system may automatically protect each user's print job from the effects of other print jobs. Consult your system administrator for more information.

HP Jetdirect print servers

The HP Jetdirect print servers facilitate network management by allowing you to connect a printer directly to your network at any location. They support multiple network protocols and operating systems. HP Jetdirect print servers also support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which provides network managers with remote printer management and troubleshooting through HP Web Jetadmin software.

The HP Color LaserJet 4700n, 4700dn, 4700dtn, and 4700ph+ printers are equipped with embedded HP Jetdirect print servers. These servers support Ethernet 10/100T networking for peripherals. An HP Jetdirect EIO print server can also be installed in one of the HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer's EIO slots to allow network connection.

NOTE Installation of an EIO print server and network configuration should be performed by a network administrator. Configure the card either through the control panel or with HP Web Jetadmin software.

Available software solutions

For a summary of available software solutions, refer to the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator's Guide, or visit http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing.

Wireless printing

Wireless networks offer a safe, secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wired network connections. See Supplies and accessories for a list of available wireless print servers.

IEEE 802.11 standard

Optional HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support connection to an 802.11 network. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing solution without the physical constraints of wiring.

Peripherals can be conveniently placed anywhere in an office or home and can be easily moved without changing network cables. Installation is easy with the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.

NOTE HP Jetdirect 802.11 print servers are available for USB connections.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, and other devices.

Unlike infrared technology, Bluetooth's reliance on radio signals means that devices do not have to be in the same room, office, or cubicle with an unobstructed line of sight in order to communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business network applications.

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer uses a Bluetooth adapter (HP bt1300) to incorporate Bluetooth wireless technology. The adapter is available for either USB or parallel connections. The adapter has a 10-meter line-of-sight operation range in the 2.5 GHz ISM band and can achieve data transfer rates up to 723 Kbps. The device supports the following Bluetooth profiles:

• Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP)
• Serial Port Profile (SPP)
• Object Push Profile (OPP)
• Basic Imaging Profile (BIP)
• Basic Printing Profile (BPP) with XHTML-Print

4 Printing tasks

This chapter describes how to perform basic printing tasks. The following topics are covered:

• Controlling print jobs
- Selecting print media
• Automatic media type sensing (auto sense mode)
- Configuring input trays
• Printing on special media
• Using features in the printer driver
• Using features in the Macintosh printer driver
• Two-sided (duplex) printing
• Using the stapler/stacker
• Special printing situations
• Job storage features
• Managing memory

Controlling print jobs

In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull paper 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 printer automatically selects a tray using the default printer settings.

Source

Printing by Source means that you choose a specific tray from which you want the printer to pull paper. The printer tries to print from this tray, no matter what type or size is loaded. If you choose a tray that is configured for a type or size that does not match your print job, the printer does not print automatically. Instead, it waits for you to load the tray you chose with the type or size of print media for your print job. If you load the tray, the printer begins printing. If you press √, the printer displays options to print from another tray.

Type and size

Printing by Type or Size means that you want the printer to pull paper or print media from the appropriate tray loaded with the correct type and size. 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 the driver to print on plain paper, the printer will not pull the letterhead from that tray. Instead, it will pull paper from a tray that has plain paper loaded and is configured for plain paper on the printer control panel. Selecting media by Type and Size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and transparencies. Using the wrong setting might result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by Type for special print media, such as labels or heavy media. Print by Size for envelopes, if possible.

• If you want to print by Type or Size, select the type or size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the Print Properties dialog box, depending on the application.
• If you often print on a certain type or size of media, the printer administrator (for a network printer) or you (for a local printer) can configure a tray for that type or size. Then, when you choose that type or size as you print a job, the printer pulls media from the tray configured for that type or size.

Print setting priorities

Changes made to print settings are prioritized according to where the changes are made as follows:

NOTE The names of commands and dialog boxes may vary depending on your program.

• Page Setup dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Page Setup or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in. Settings changed here override settings changed anywhere else.

• Print dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in. Settings changed in the Print dialog box have a lower priority and do not override changes made in the Page Setup dialog box.

• Printer Properties dialog box (printer driver). The printer driver opens when you click Properties in the Print dialog box. Settings changed in the Printer Properties dialog box do not override settings available anywhere else.

• Default printer settings. The default printer settings determine settings used in all print jobs, unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer Properties dialog boxes, as described above. There are two ways to change the default printer settings:

• Click Start, Settings, Printers, and then right-click the printer icon, and click Properties.

• Click Start, Control Panel, and then select the Printers folder, right-click the printer icon, and click Properties.

For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.

CAUTION To avoid affecting print jobs of other users, make printer setup changes through the software application or the printer driver whenever possible. Printer setup changes made through the control panel become default settings for subsequent jobs. Changes made through an application or the printer driver affect only that specific job.

Selecting print media

You can use many types of paper and other print media with this printer. This section provides guidelines and specifications for selecting and using different print media. For more information about supported print media, see Print media specifications.

It is possible that media could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or to other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control (for example, extremes in temperature and humidity).

Hewlett-Packard recommends testing any media before buying it in large quantities.

CAUTION Using media that does not conform to the specifications listed here or in the paper specification guide can cause problems that require service. This service is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.

Media to avoid

This printer can handle many types of media. Use of media outside the printer's specifications will cause a loss of print quality and increase the chance of paper jams.

• Do not use paper that is too rough.
- Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard 3-hole punched paper.
• 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 with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.

Paper that can damage the printer

In rare circumstances, paper can damage the printer. Avoid the following paper to prevent possible damage to the printer:

• Do not use paper with staples attached.
- Do not use transparencies designed for inkjet printers or other low-temperature printers, or transparencies designed for monochrome printing. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP Color LaserJet printers.
• Do not use glossy or photo papers intended for inkjet printers.
- Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed for the temperatures of the image fuser. Select media that can tolerate temperatures of 190^ (374°F) for 0.1 second.
- Do not use letterhead paper with low-temperature dyes or thermography. Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that can tolerate temperatures of 190^ (374°F) for 0.1 second.
- Do not use any media that produces undesirable emissions, or that melts, offsets, or discolors when exposed to 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second.

To order HP Color LaserJet printing supplies, go to http://www.hp.com/go/ljsupplies in the United States or to http://www.hp.com/ghp/buyonline.html worldwide.

Automatic media type sensing (auto sense mode)

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printers can automatically classify media into one of the following categories:

• Plain
• Transparency
  Glossy
  • Extra-heavy glossy
  Glossy film
• Heavy
  Light

The automatic media type sensor functions only when that tray is configured to Any Type Plain. Configuring a tray to any other type, such as Bond or Glossy, deactivates the media sensor in that tray.

NOTE Get optimal performance with the automatic media sensing feature when using original HP media designed for use in HP color LaserJet printers.

Tray 1 sensing

Full sensing (default)

• The printer stops at each page to sense media type.
• This is the best mode for using mixed media in a single print job.

Expanded sensing

• Each time the printer begins a print job, it stops the first page to sense the type.
- The printer assumes that the second and all subsequent pages are of the same media type as the first page.
This is the second-fastest mode, and is useful for using stacks of the same media type.

Transparency

• The printer does not stop any pages for sensing but distinguishes between transparencies (Transparency mode) and paper (Normal mode).
  This is the fastest mode and is useful for high-volume printing in Normal mode.

Tray 2–N sensing

Expanded sensing

• The printer stops the first five pages fed from each paper tray to sense the type and averages the five results.
• The printer assumes that the sixth and all subsequent pages are of the same media type, until the printer is turned off or goes into sleep mode, or until the tray is opened.

Transparency only (default)

• The printer does not stop any pages for sensing but distinguishes between transparencies (Transparency mode) and paper (Normal mode).
  This is the fastest mode and is useful for high-volume printing in Normal mode.

Configuring input trays

The printer allows you to configure input trays by type and size. You can load different media in the printer's input trays and then request media by type or size using the control panel.

NOTE If you have used other HP LaserJet printer models, you might be accustomed to configuring Tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. On HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printers, setting Tray 1 size and type to ANY SIZE is equivalent to First mode. Setting size or type for Tray 1 to a setting other than ANY SIZE is equivalent to Cassette mode.

NOTE If you are duplex printing, be sure that the media loaded meets the specifications for duplex printing. (See Supported media weights and sizes.)

NOTE The instructions below are to configure the trays at the printer control panel. You can also configure the trays from your computer by accessing the embedded Web server. See Using the embedded Web server.

Configuring trays when the printer gives a prompt

In the following situations, the printer automatically prompts you to configure the tray for type and size:

Printing from Tray 2 or the optional trays

Tray 2 and the optional paper trays each hold up to 500 sheets of standard paper or a 50.8 mm (2 in) stack of labels. Tray 2 stacks above the optional 500-sheet trays, and, when properly installed, the printer detects the optional trays and shows them as options in the control panel CONFIGURE DEVICE menu. The trays adjust for detectable media sizes; letter, legal, A4, A5, JIS B5, and executive; and undetectable

media sizes: 8.5 x 13 and Executive (JIS), double Japan postcard, and custom. The printer automatically detects the media size in these trays based on the tray's paper guide configuration. (See Supported media weights and sizes.)

CAUTION The paper path for the optional trays passes through Tray 2. If Tray 2 is partially pulled out or removed, paper from Tray 3 cannot feed into the printer. The printer will stop and generate a message that Tray 2 must be installed. Similarly, all trays installed above the tray that is being used must be closed for paper to feed into the printer.

Loading detectable standard-sized media into Tray 2 and optional trays

CAUTION If paper is loaded in Trays 3 through 6 when the printer is in sleep mode, the new paper will not be sensed when the printer comes out of sleep mode. This could cause the wrong paper to be used for a print job. Be sure to wake the printer before loading paper in these trays.

The following detectable standard-sized media is supported in Tray 2 and the optional trays: letter, legal, executive, A4, A5, and (JIS) B5.

CAUTION Do not print cardstock, envelopes, heavy or extra heavy paper, or unsupported sizes of media from the 500-sheet trays. Print on these types of media only from Tray 1. Do not overfill the input tray or open it while it is in use. Doing so can cause jams in the printer.

1. Remove the tray from the printer.

Printing on special media

Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.

NOTE Special media such as envelopes, transparencies, custom-size paper, or heavy media greater than 120 g/m^2 is used in Tray 1.

To print on any special media, use the following procedure:

1. Load the media in the paper tray.
2. When the printer prompts you for the paper type, select the correct media type for the paper loaded in the tray. For example, select GLOSSY when loading HP Color Laser Glossy Photo Paper.
3. In the software application or the printer driver, set the media type to match the media type that is loaded in the paper tray.

NOTE For the best print quality, always verify that the media type selected on the printer control panel and the media type selected in the application or printer driver match the type of media loaded in the tray.

Transparencies

When printing on transparencies, use the following guidelines:

• Handle transparencies using the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.
• Use only overhead transparencies recommended for use in this printer. Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color Laser Transparencies. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results.
• In either the software application or the driver, select TRANSPARENCY as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for transparencies.

For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.

CAUTION Transparencies not designed for LaserJet printing might melt in the printer or wrap around the fuser, causing damage to the printer.

Glossy paper

In either the software application or the driver, select GLOSSY, HEAVY GLOSSY, or EXTRA HEAVY GLOSSY as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for glossy paper.
• Use the control panel to set the media type to GLOSSY for the input tray being used.
- Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring input trays for more information.

NOTE Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color Laser Glossy Photo Paper and soft glossy papers designed for use in HP color laser printers. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results. If other types of glossy media are used, print quality could be compromised.

Colored paper

Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.
- Pigments used in colored media must be able to withstand the printer's fusing temperature of 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second without deterioration.
- The printer creates colors by printing patterns of dots, overlaying and varying their spacing to produce various colors. Varying the shade or color of the paper will affect the shades of the printed colors.

Envelopes

NOTE Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1. Set the tray's media size to the specific envelope size. See Printing envelopes from Tray 1.

Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure proper printing on envelopes and help prevent printer jams:

• Do not load more than 20 envelopes into Tray 1.
• The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 90 g/m ^2 (24 lb bond).
• Envelopes should be flat.
• Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps.
• Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
- Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that can withstand the heat and pressures of the printer's fusing process.
• Envelopes should be loaded face-down and with the postage end feeding into the printer first.

Labels

NOTE For printing labels, set the tray's media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See Configuring input trays. When printing labels, use the following guidelines:

• Verify that the labels' adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190^ (374°F) for 0.1 second.
• Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
  • Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.
  • Verify that the labels lie flat.
• Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Heavy paper

The following heavy paper types can be used with the HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer.

Paper type Paper weight
Heavy and extra-heavy stock	105-163 g/m2
	28-43 lb
Cardstock	164-220 g/m2
	43-58 lb
Intermediate	90-105 g/m2
	24-28 lb
HP Tough paper 5 mil

When printing on heavy paper types, use the following guidelines:

• Use Tray 1 for paper that is heavier than 120 g/m^2 (32 lb).
- For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use the printer control panel to set the media type for the tray to HEAVY.
- In either the software application or the driver, select Heavy 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 printer back to its original settings once the job has printed. See Configuring input trays.

CAUTION In general, do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear.

HP LaserJet Tough paper

When printing on HP LaserJet Tough paper, use the following guidelines:

• Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper only by the edges. Oils from your fingers deposited on HP LaserJet Tough paper can cause print quality problems.
• Use only HP LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results.
• In either the software application or the driver, select TOUGH PAPER as the media type, or print from a tray that is configured for HP LaserJet Tough paper.

Preprinted forms and letterhead

Observe the following guidelines for best results with preprinted forms and letterhead:

• Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release undesirable emissions when subjected to the printer's fusing temperature of approximately 190°C (374°F) for 0.1 second.

• Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

• Before loading preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.
• To load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them face down with the top edge of the page facing toward you.
• To load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 2 or an optional tray, load them face up with the top edge of the page facing away from you.
• When duplex printing, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 2 or an optional 500-sheet tray face down with the top edge of the page towards you.

Recycled paper

This printer supports the use of recycled paper. Recycled paper must meet the same specifications as standard paper. Hewlett-Packard recommends that recycled paper contain no more than 5% ground wood.

Two-sided (duplex) printing

Some printer models are capable of duplex printing (printing on both sides of a page). To find out which models support automatic duplexing, see Printer basics. All printer models support manual duplexing.

NOTE You must specify two-sided printing options in your software application or in the printer driver in order to print on both sides of the page. If this option is not visible in the software application or printer driver, use the following information to make duplex printing options available.

To use two-sided printing:

• Verify that the printer driver is configured to show the two-sided printing options: automatic and/or manual. For instructions, see the online Help for the printer driver. For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.
• Once the two-sided printing option is shown, select the appropriate two-sided printing options in the printer driver software. Two-sided printing options include page and binding orientation. For more information about options for binding two-sided printing jobs, see Options for binding two-sided printing jobs.
  • Automatic two-sided printing is not supported for certain media types, including transparencies, envelopes, labels, heavy, extra heavy, cardstock, and HP Tough paper. (The maximum weight paper for automatic duplex printing is 120 g/m^2 (32 lb) bond.)
  • Automatic two-sided printing supports letter, A4, 8.5 x 13, legal, executive, and JIS B5 paper sizes.
• Manual two-sided printing can support all sizes and more types of media. (Transparencies, envelopes, and labels are not supported.)
• If both automatic and manual two-sided printing are enabled, the printer will automatically print on two sides if the size and type are supported by the duplexer. Otherwise, it will manually duplex.
• For best results, avoid two-sided printing with rough-textured, heavy-weight media.
• To load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 1, load them face up with the top edge of the page facing away from you.
• When duplex printing, load pre-printed forms and letterhead into Tray 2 or an optional 500-sheet tray face down with the top edge of the page towards you.

NOTE Loading paper for duplexing is different than loading for one-sided printing.

4. On the Finishing tab, click Print on Both Sides or Print on Both Sides (Manually).
5. The default binding option is to bind on the long edge of the paper in portrait layout. To change the setting, click the Finishing tab, and select the Flip pages up checkbox.
6. Click OK. The Print on Both Sides instructions will appear. Follow the instructions to finish printing your document.

NOTE If the total number of sheets to be duplexed exceeds the Tray 1 capacity for manual duplex jobs, feed the top 100 sheets and press √. When prompted, feed the next 100 sheets and press √. Repeat as necessary until all the sheets from the output stack have been loaded into Tray 1.

For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.

Printing booklets

Some versions of the printer driver let you control the printing of booklets when duplexing. You can select binding on the left or right side on letter, legal, or A4 paper size. Windows 2000 and XP supports booklet printing for all paper sizes.

See the printer driver online Help for more information about the printing booklets feature.

Using the stapler/stacker

The optional stapler/stacker incorporates an inline stapler and stacker that provides automatic job separation with job offset capability.

The stapler/stacker can handle paper ranging in weight from 60 to 220 g/m ^2 (16 to 58 lb). The stapler/stacker output bin can hold up to 750 sheets of 75 g/m ^2 (20 lb) paper with job offset. Standard and custom paper sizes are accepted, but only letter, A4, JIS B5, 215.9 x 330 mm (8.5 x 13 in), and legal size paper can be stapled. For more information about supported paper, see Supported media weights and sizes.

NOTE Actual stapler/stacker capacity might vary depending on the media type and weight, environmental conditions, and other factors.

The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled in a single job varies according to the weight and type of the paper that is used.

• Jobs containing up to 30 sheets of paper weighing from 60 to 160g / m^2 (16 to 42 lb) can be stapled.
• Jobs containing up to 20 sheets of paper weighing from 160 to 220g / m^2 (42 to 58 lb) can be stapled.
• Jobs containing up to 20 sheets of heavy papers, such as HP Tough Paper and HP High-Gloss laser paper, can be stapled.
• If a job consists of only one sheet or more than 30 sheets, the job is printed to the output bin, but is not stapled.

NOTE The stapler supports paper only. Do not try to staple other media, such as envelopes, transparencies, or labels.

To staple a print job, select the stapler in the application. You can usually select the stapler in the application or printer driver, although some options might be available only in the printer driver. You might need to configure the printer driver to recognize the stapler/stacker. You need to set this setting only once.

If you are printing on paper that requires a specific orientation, such as letterhead, preprinted or prepunched paper, or paper with watermarks, make sure that the paper is loaded correctly in the tray.

For single-sided printing and stapling from Tray 1, load the paper face down with the logo toward you. For single-sided printing and stapling from all other trays, load the paper face up with the logo toward the rear of the printer.

For duplex printing and stapling from Tray 1, load the paper face up with the logo toward the rear of the printer. For duplex printing and stapling from all other trays, load the paper face down with the logo toward you.

Special printing situations

Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.

Printing a different first page

Use the following procedure to print the first page of a document on a different media type than the rest of the document, for example, to print the first page of a document on letterhead paper and the rest on plain paper.

1. From your application or printer driver, specify a tray for the first page and another tray for the remaining pages.

For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.

1. Load the special media into the tray that you specified in step 1.
2. Load the media for the remaining pages of the document into another tray.

You can also print on different media by using the printer control panel or printer driver to set the types of media that are loaded in the trays and then selecting the first and remaining pages by media type.

Printing a blank back cover

Use the following procedure to print a blank back cover. You can also select an alternate paper source or print on a different media type than the rest of the document.

1. On the printer driver's Paper tab, select Use different paper, then from the drop-down list, select Back Cover, check Add a blank back cover, and then click OK.
2. For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.

You can also select an alternate paper source or print a blank back cover on a different media type than the rest of the document. If desired, select a different source and type from the drop-down lists.

Printing on custom-size media

The printer supports single-sided printing on custom-size media. Tray 1 supports media sizes from 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches). Tray 2 and the optional 500-sheet trays support media sizes from 148 x 210 mm (5.83 x 8.27 inches) (A5 size) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).

When printing on custom-size media, if Tray 1 is configured in the printer control panel as TRAY X TYPE= ANY TYPE and TRAY X SIZE= ANY SIZE, the printer will print on whatever media is loaded in the tray. When printing on custom-size media from Tray 2 or any of the optional paper trays, adjust the switch on the tray to the CUSTOM position, and from the control panel, set the media size to CUSTOM or ANY CUSTOM.

Some software applications and printer drivers allow you to specify custom paper-size dimensions. You can configure custom paper sizes from the printer driver's Paper tab or Forms tab (Windows 2000 and XP). Be sure to set the correct paper size in both the page setup and print dialog boxes.

For more information about how to access the printer drivers, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.

If your software application requires you to calculate margins for custom-size paper, see the online Help for that application.

Stopping a print request

You can stop a print request either from the printer control panel or from your software application. To stop a print request from a computer on a network, see the online Help for the specific network software.

NOTE It may take some time for all printing to clear after you have canceled a print job.

Stopping the current print job from the printer control panel

1. Press Stop on the printer control panel to pause the job that is currently printing. The control panel menu provides the option to resume printing or to cancel the current job.
2. Press Menu to exit the menu and resume printing.
3. Press √ to cancel the job.

Pressing Stop does not affect subsequent print jobs that are stored in the printer buffer.

Stopping the current print job from a software application

A dialog box will appear briefly on the control panel display, giving you the option to cancel the print job.

If several requests have been sent to the printer through an application, the print jobs might be waiting in a print queue (for example, in Windows Print Manager). See the application documentation for specific instructions on canceling a print request from the computer.

If a print job is waiting in a print queue (computer memory) or print spooler (Windows 98, 2000, XP, or Me), delete the print job there.

For Windows 98, 2000, XP, or Me, go to Start, Settings, and then Printers. Double-click the HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer icon to open the print spooler. Select the print job you want to cancel, and then press Delete. If the print job is not cancelled, you might need to shut down and restart the computer.

Job storage features

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer lets you store a job in the printer's memory for printing at a later time. The job storage features use memory from both the hard disk and random access memory (RAM). These job storage features are described below.

To support job storage features for complex jobs, or if you often print complex graphics, print PostScript (PS) documents, or use many downloaded fonts, HP recommends that you install additional memory. Added memory also gives you more flexibility in supporting job-storage features, such as quick copying.

NOTE To use the Private Job, Proof and Hold, and Mopy features, the printer must have a minimum of 256 MB DDR plus 32 MB of additional memory on the formatter board. To use the quick copy and stored jobs features you must install an optional hard disk in the printer (HP Color LaserJet 4700, 4700n, 4700dn, 4700dtn models) and properly configure the drivers.

CAUTION Make sure to uniquely identify jobs in the printer driver before printing. Using default names may override previous jobs with the same default name or cause the job to be deleted. For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.

Proofing and holding a job

The proof and hold feature provides a quick and easy way to print and proof one copy of a job and then print additional copies. This option stores the print job on the printer hard disk or in printer RAM memory, and prints only the first copy of the job, allowing you to check the first copy. If the document prints correctly, you can print the remaining copies of the print job from the printer control panel. The number of proof-and-hold print jobs that can be stored in the printer is set from the printer control panel.

To permanently store the job and prevent the printer from deleting it, select the Stored Job option in the driver.

Deleting stored jobs

When you send a stored job, the printer overwrites any previous jobs with the same user and job name. If there is not a job already stored under the same user and job name, and the printer needs additional space, the printer may delete other stored jobs starting with the oldest. The default number of jobs that can be stored is 32. You can change the number of jobs that can be stored from the control panel. For more information about setting the job storage limit, see Configure device menu.

A job can be deleted from the control panel, from the embedded Web server, or from HP Web Jetadmin. To delete a job from the control panel, use the following procedure:

1. Press Menu to enter MENUS.

RETRIEVE JOB is highlighted.

1. Press √ to select RETRIEVE JOB.
2. Press ▼ to highlight your USER NAME.
3. Press √ to select your USER NAME.
4. Press ▼ to highlight a JOB NAME.
5. Press √ to select the JOB NAME.
6. Press ▼ to highlight DELETE.
7. Press √ to select DELETE.
8. Press √ to delete the job.

Private jobs

This option allows you to send a print job directly to the printer memory. Selection of Private Job activates the PIN field. The print job can be printed only after you type a PIN in the printer control panel. After the job is printed, the printer removes the job from the printer memory. This feature is useful when you are printing sensitive or confidential documents that you do not want to leave in an output bin after printing. Private Job stores the print job on the hard disk or in printer RAM memory. After it is released for printing, the private job is immediately deleted from the printer. If more copies are needed, you have to reprint the job from the program. If you send a second private job to the printer with the same user name and job name as an existing private job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the job will overwrite the existing job, regardless of the PIN. Private jobs are deleted if power to the printer is turned off.

NOTE A lock symbol next to a job name indicates that the job is private.

Specify that a job is private from the driver. Select the Private Job option and type a four-digit PIN. To avoid overwriting jobs with the same name, also specify a username and job name.

Mopier mode

When Mopier mode is enabled, the printer produces multiple, collated copies from a single print job. Multiple-original printing (mopying) increases printer performance and reduces network traffic by sending the job to the printer once, then storing it in the printer's RAM. The remainder of the copies are

printed at the printer's fastest speed. Documents can be created, controlled, managed, and finished from the desktop, which eliminates the extra step of using a photocopier.

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printers support mopying provided they have enough total memory (160 MB DDR plus 32 MB on the formatter board). The mopying feature is enabled by default if the Mopier Mode setting is Enabled in the Device Settings tab.

Storing a print job

You can download a print job to the printer without printing it. You can then print the job at any time through the printer control panel. For example, you might want to download a personnel form, calendar, time sheet, or accounting form that other users can access and print.

Managing memory

This printer supports up to 544 MB of memory: 512 MB DDR plus 32 MB of additional memory on the formatter board. You can add additional memory by installing dual data-rate (DDR) memory. To allow for memory expansion, the printer has two DDR slots, which accept 128 or 256 MB of RAM each. For information about installing memory, see Working with memory and print server cards.

NOTE Memory specification: HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printers use 200-pin small outline dual inline memory modules (SODIMM) that support 128 or 256 MB of RAM.

The printer features Memory Enhancement Technology (MEt), which automatically compresses page data to provide the most efficient use of the printer's RAM.

The printer uses DDR SODIMM. Extended data output (EDO) DIMMs are not supported.

NOTE If memory problems occur when you are printing complex graphics, you can make more memory available by removing downloaded fonts, style sheets, and macros from printer memory. Reducing the complexity of a print job from within an application can help avoid memory problems.

6 Color

This chapter describes how the HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer provides great color printing. This chapter also describes ways to produce the best possible color prints. The following topics are covered:

• Using color
• Color matching
• Managing printer color options on Windows computers
• Managing printer color options on Macintosh computers

Using color

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer offers great color printing as soon as you set up the printer. It provides a combination of automatic color features to generate excellent color results for the general office user, plus sophisticated tools for the professional who is experienced with color use.

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer provides carefully designed and tested color tables to provide a smooth, accurate color rendition of all printable colors.

HP ImageREt 3600

HP ImageREt 3600 print technology is a system of innovative technologies developed exclusively by HP to deliver superior print quality. The HP ImageREt system sets itself apart from the industry by integrating technology advancements and optimizing each element of the print system. Several categories of HP ImageREt have been developed for a variety of user needs.

The system's foundation is composed of key color laser technologies, including image enhancements, smart supplies, and high-resolution imaging. As the level or category of ImageREt increases, these core technologies are refined for more advanced system usage, and additional technologies are integrated. HP offers superior image enhancements for general office documents and marketing collateral. Optimized for printing on HP color laser high-gloss papers, HP Image REt 3600 provides superior results on all supported media, and under a variety of environmental conditions.

Paper selection

For the best color and image quality, it is important to select the appropriate media type from the printer menu or from the front panel. See Selecting print media.

Color options

Color options enable optimal color output automatically for diverse types of documents.

Color options use object tagging, which allows optimal color and halftone settings to be used for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer driver determines which objects are used on a page and uses halftone and color settings that provide the best print quality for each object. Object tagging, combined with optimized default settings, produces great color out of the box.

In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the printer driver.

For more information, see Printer drivers or Printer drivers for Macintosh computers.

sRGB

Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a world-wide color standard originally developed by HP and Microsoft as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners, digital cameras), and output devices (printers, plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems, the Web, and most office software sold today. sRGB is representative of the typical Windows computer monitor today and the convergence standard for high-definition television.

NOTE Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room's lighting can affect the appearance of colors on your screen. For more information, see Color matching.

The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop, CorelDRAW™, Microsoft Office, and many other applications use sRGB to communicate color. Most importantly, as the default color space in Microsoft operating

systems, sRGB has gained broad adoption as a means to exchange color information between applications and devices using a common definition that assures typical users will experience greatly improved color matching. sRGB improves your ability to match colors between the printer, the computer monitor and other input devices (scanner, digital camera) automatically, without the need to become a color expert.

Printing in four colors — CMYK

Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) are the inks used by a printing press. The process is often called four-color printing. CMYK data files are typically used by and originate from graphic arts (printing and publishing) environments. The printer will accept CMYK colors through the PS printer driver. The printer color-rendering of CMYK is designed to provide rich, saturated colors for text and graphics.

CMYK ink set emulation (PostScript only)

The printer color rendering of CMYK can be made to emulate several standard offset press ink sets. In some situations, the CMYK color values in an image or document might not be suited to the printer. For example, a document might be optimized for another printer. For best results, the CMYK values should be adapted to the HP Color LaserJet 4700. Select the appropriate color input profile from the printer driver.

Default CMYK+. HP CMYK+ technology produces optimal printing results for most printing jobs.
- SWOP (Specification for Web Offset Publications). Common ink standard in the United States and other countries/regions.
- Euroscale (also known as Euro Standard). Common ink standard in Europe and other countries/regions.
• DIC (Dainippon Ink and Chemical). Common ink standard in Japan and other countries/regions.
- Custom profile. Select this option to use a custom input profile to accurately control color output, for example, to emulate another HP color LaserJet printer. Color profiles can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com.

Color matching

The process of matching printer output color to your computer screen is quite complex because printers and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by light pixels using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) process.

Several factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your monitor. These factors include:

• Print media
  • Printer colorants (inks or toners for example)
  • Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology for example)
  • Overhead lighting
  • Personal differences in perception of color
  • Software applications
  Printer drivers
  • Computer operating system
  Monitors
  • Video cards and drivers
  • Operating environment (humidity for example)

Keep the above factors in mind when colors on your screen do not perfectly match your printed colors.

For most users, the best method for matching colors on your screen to your printer is to print sRGB colors.

PANTONE® color matching

PANTONE® has multiple color matching systems. PANTONE® Matching System is very popular and uses solid inks to generate a wide range of color hues and tints. See http://www.hp.com/support/clj4700 for details on how to use PANTONE® Matching System with this printer.

NOTE PANTONE® Colors generated may not match PANTONE-identified standards. Consult current PANTONE Publications for accurate color. PANTONE® and other Pantone, Inc. trademarks are the property of Pantone, Inc. © Pantone, Inc., 2000.

Sample book color matching

The process for matching printer output to preprinted sample books and standard color references is complex. In general, you can obtain a reasonably good match to a sample book if the inks used to create the sample book are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are usually referred to as process color sample books.

Some sample books are created from spot colors. Spot colors are specially created colorants. Many of these spot colors are outside of the range of the printer. Most spot color sample books have companion process sample books that provide CMYK approximations to the spot color.

Most process sample books will state which process standards were used to print the sample book. In most cases they will be SWOP, EURO, or DIC. To get optimal color matching to the process sample book, select the corresponding ink emulation from the printer menu. If you cannot identify the process standard, use SWOP ink emulation.

Printing color samples

To use the color samples, select the color sample that is the closest match to the desired color. Use the sample's color value in your application to describe the object you wish to match. Colors may vary depending on paper type and the software application used. For more details on how to use the color samples, go to http://www.hp.com/support/clj4700.

Use the following procedure to print color samples at the printer using the control panel:

1. Press Menu to enter the MENUS.
2. Press ▼ to highlight INFORMATION.
3. Press √ to select INFORMATION.
4. Press ▼ to highlight PRINT CMYK SAMPLES or PRINT RGB SAMPLES.
5. Press √ to select PRINT CMYK SAMPLES or PRINT RGB SAMPLES.

Managing printer color options on Windows computers

Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for the most common printing requirements. However, for some documents, setting the color options manually can enhance the way the document appears. Examples of these documents include marketing brochures that contain many images or documents that are printed on a media type that is not listed in the printer driver.

For Windows, you can print in grayscale or change the color options by using settings found on the Color tab in the printer driver.

For more information about how to access the printer drivers, see Gaining access to the printer drivers.

Print in grayscale

Select the Print in Grayscale option from the printer driver to print a document in black and white.

RGB Color (Color Themes)

Five values are available for the RGB Color setting:

• Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the printer to interpret RGB color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Organization (www).
• Select Image optimization (sRGB) to enhance documents in which the content is mainly bitmap images, such as .GIF or .JPEG files. This setting instructs the printer to use the best color matching for rendering sRGB, bitmap images. This setting has no effect on text or vector-based graphics. Using glossy media in combination with this setting provides the maximum enhancement.
• Select AdobeRGB for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. For example, some digital cameras capture images in AdobeRBG, and documents that are produced with Adobe PhotoShop use the AdobeRGB color space. When printing from a professional software program that uses AdobeRGB, it is important that you turn off the color management in the software program and allow the printer software to manage the color space.
• Select None to instruct the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render documents properly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working or in the operating system.

CAUTION Use this option only if you are familiar with the procedures for managing color in the software program or in the operating system.

- Select Custom Profile when you want to duplicate the printed output from other printers or for using special effects, such as sepia tones. This setting instructs the printer to use a custom input profile to more accurately predict and control color output. You can download custom profiles from www.hp.com.

Automatic or manual color adjustment

The Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral gray color treatment, halftones, and edge enhancements that are used for each element in a document. For more information, see your printer driver online Help.

NOTE Automatic is the default setting and is recommended for printing most color documents.

The Manual color adjustment option allows you to adjust the neutral gray color treatment, halftones, and edge enhancements for text, graphics, and photographs. To access the Manual color options, from the Color tab, select Manual, then Settings.

Manual color options

You can manually adjust color options for Edge Control, Halftones, and Neutral Grays.

Edge Control

The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has three components: adaptive halftoning, REt, and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of incorrect color alignment by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. The color REt option smooths the edges.

NOTE If you notice white gaps between objects, or if you notice areas that have a slight shadow of cyan, magenta, or yellow at the edge, choose an edge-control setting that increases the trapping level.

Four levels of edge control are available:

• Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on.
• Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on.
  • Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on.
  • Off turns off trapping, adaptive halftoning, and color REt.

Halftone options

Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can select halftone settings for text, graphics, and photographs independently. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail.

• The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option when uniform and smooth area fills are top priority.
• The Detail option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Choose this option when sharp edges and details are top priority.

NOTE Some applications convert text or graphics to bitmap images. In these cases, setting the color options for Photographs also affects how text and graphics appear.

Neutral Grays

The Neutral Grays setting determines the method used for creating gray colors that are used in text, graphics, and photographs.

Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting:

• Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) using only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast.
• 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and it produces the darkest black.

NOTE Some applications convert text or graphics to raster images. In these cases, setting the color options for Photographs also affects how text and graphics appear.

Restricting color printing

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 Series printers include a RESTRICT COLOR USE setting for networked printers. A network administrator can use the setting to restrict user access to the color printing features in order to conserve color toner. If you are unable to print in color, see your network administrator.

1. Press Menu.
2. Press ▼ to select PRINT QUALITY, and then press ▼.
3. Press ▼ to select SYSTEM SETUP, and then press ▼.
4. Press ▼ to select RESTRICT COLOR USE, and then press √.
5. Press ▼ to select one of the following options:

- DISABLE COLOR: This setting denies the printer color capabilities to all users.

- ENABLE COLOR: This is the default setting, which allows all users to use the printer color capabilities.

- COLOR IF ALLOWED: This setting allows the network administrator to allow color use for select users. Use the embedded Web server to designate users who can print in color.

1. Press √ to save the setting.

The network administrator can monitor color usage for a specific HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer by printing a color usage job log. See Printer information pages for more information.

For more information on restricting and reporting color usage, go to http://www.hp.com/go/coloraccess.

Managing printer color options on Macintosh computers

Setting the color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for the most common printing requirements. However, for some documents, setting the color options manually can enhance the way the document appears. Examples of these documents include marketing brochures that contain many images or documents that are printed on a media type that is not listed in the printer driver.

Print color as gray or change the color options by using the Color Options pop-up menu in the Print dialog box.

For more information about how to gain access to the printer drivers, see Gaining access to the printer drivers.

Print Color as Gray

Selecting the Print Color as Gray option from the printer driver prints a document in black and shades of gray. This option is useful for previewing preliminary copies of slides and hardcopy output, or for printing color documents that will be photocopied or faxed.

Advanced color options for text, graphics, and photographs

Use manual color adjustment to adjust the Color (or Color Map) and Halftoning options for a print job.

Halftone options

Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can select halftone settings independently for text, graphics, and photographs. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail.

• The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option when uniform and smooth area fills are the top priority.

7 Maintenance

This chapter describes ways to maintain your printer. The following topics are covered:

• Managing print cartridges
• Changing print cartridges
• Replacing supplies
• Using the cleaning page
- Configuring alerts

Managing print cartridges

Be sure to use genuine HP print cartridges for the best printing results. This section provides information on proper use and storage of HP print cartridges. It also provides information about using non-HP print cartridges.

HP print cartridges

When you use a genuine new HP print cartridge, you can obtain the following supplies information:

• Percentage of supplies remaining
• Estimated number of pages remaining
• Number of pages printed

NOTE See Part numbers for cartridge ordering information.

Non-HP print cartridges

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of non-HP print cartridges, either new or remanufactured. Because they are not genuine HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. Service or repair required as a result of using a non-HP print cartridge will not be covered under the printer warranty.

When you use a non-HP print cartridge, certain features, such as remaining toner volume data may not be available as a result of using this non-HP supply.

If the non-HP print cartridge was sold to you as a genuine HP product, see HP fraud hotline.

Print cartridge authentication

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer automatically authenticates the print cartridges when the cartridges are inserted into the printer. During authentication, the printer will let you know if a cartridge is a genuine HP print cartridge.

If the printer control panel message states that this is not a genuine HP print cartridge and you believe you purchased an HP print cartridge, call the HP fraud hotline.

To override a non-HP print cartridge error message, press the √ button.

HP fraud hotline

Call the HP fraud hotline [phone], toll-free in North America) when you install an HP print cartridge and the printer message says the cartridge is non-HP. HP will help determine if the product is genuine and take steps to resolve the problem.

Your print cartridge might not be a genuine HP print cartridge if you notice the following:

• You are experiencing a high number of problems with the print cartridge.
- The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the packaging differs from HP packaging).

Print cartridge storage

Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it.

CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

Print cartridge life expectancy

The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs require. An HP color print cartridge lasts an average of 10,000 pages and an HP black print cartridge lasts an average of 11,000 pages when printing on letter or A4-size paper at 5% coverage for each print cartridge. Usage conditions and print patterns could cause actual results to vary.

At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the toner level, as described below.

8 Problem solving

This chapter describes what to do if problems arise with your printer. The following topics are covered:

• Basic troubleshooting checklist
• Factors affecting printer performance
• Troubleshooting information pages
• Control panel message types
• Control panel messages
Paper jams
• Common causes of paper jams
- Clearing jams
• Media-handling problems
• Printer response problems
• Printer control panel problems
- Incorrect printer output
• Software application problems
• Troubleshooting common Macintosh problems
• Color printing problems
• Print quality troubleshooting

Basic troubleshooting checklist

If you are experiencing problems with the printer, this checklist can help identify the cause of the problem.

• Is the printer connected to power?
• Is the printer in the Ready state?
• Are all necessary cables connected?
• Are any messages displayed on the control panel?
• Was a genuine HP supply installed?
• Were recently replaced print cartridges installed correctly?
• Is the on/off switch in the on position?

• Were recently installed supplies (image fuser kit, image transfer kit) installed correctly?

If you cannot find solutions to printer problems in this guide, see http://www.hp.com/supplies/clj4700.

For additional information on installation and setup of the printer, see the getting started guide for this printer.

Factors affecting printer performance

Several factors affect the time it takes to print a job. Among these is maximum printer speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm). Other factors that affect printing speed include the use of special media (such as transparencies, glossy media, heavy media, and custom-size media), printer processing time, and download time.

The time required to download a print job from the computer and to process the job depends on the following variables:

• The complexity and size of graphics
The printer's I/O configuration (network versus parallel)
• The speed of the computer you are using
• The amount of printer memory installed
• The network operating system and configuration (if applicable)
• Printer personality (PCL or PostScript 3 emulation)

NOTE Adding additional printer memory might resolve memory problems, improve how the printer handles complex graphics, and improve download times, but it will not increase maximum printer speed (ppm rating).

Troubleshooting information pages

From the printer control panel, you can print pages that can help diagnose printer problems. The procedures for printing the following information pages are described here:

- Configuration page

NOTE It is recommended that you print a configuration page before beginning any printer diagnostics.

• Paper path test page

Control panel message types

Control panel messages are divided into three types, depending on their severity.

• Status messages
• Warning messages
  Error messages

Within the error message category, some messages are ranked as Critical error messages. This section explains the differences between the control panel message types.

Status messages

Status messages reflect the current state of the printer. They inform you of normal printer operation and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the printer changes. Whenever the printer is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message Ready is displayed if the printer 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 displayed until the √ button is pressed. If CLEARABLE WARNINGS is set to JOB in the printer's configuration menu, these messages are cleared by the next print job.

Error messages

Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding paper or clearing a paper jam.

Some error messages are auto-continuable; if AUTO CONTINUE=ON the printer will continue normal operation after displaying an auto-continuable error message for 10 seconds.

NOTE Any button pressed during the 10-second display of an auto-continuable error message will override the auto-continue feature and the function of the button pressed will take precedence. For example, pressing the Menu button will display the main menu.

Critical error messages

Critical error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by turning the printer off and then on. These messages are not affected by the AUTO CONTINUE setting. If a critical error persists, service is required.

The following table lists and describes control panel messages, in alphabetical order.

Common causes of paper jams

The following table lists common causes of paper jams and suggested solutions for resolving them.

Paper jams

Cause and solution

Cause Solution
When the printer is first installed, the protective insert does not eject properly.	SeeJam in Tray 1.
Print media does not meet HP-recommended media specifications.	Use only media that meets HP specifications. SeeSupported media weights and sizes.
A supply item is installed incorrectly, causing repeated jams.	Verify that all print cartridges, the transfer unit, and the fuser are correctly installed.
You are reloading paper that has already passed through a printer or copier.	Do not use media that has been previously printed on or copied.
An input tray is loaded incorrectly.	Remove media from the input tray and replace the media within the tray. Adjust the media width guide to hold the media firmly in place without bending it. SeeConfiguring input trays.
Print media is skewed. Input tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust input tray guides so they hold media firmly in place without bending it. If media heavier than 105 g/m^2 (28 lb) is loaded into Tray 2 and optional trays, the media might skew.
Print media is binding or sticking together.	Remove media, flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, or flip it over. Reload media into the input tray. Do not fan media.
Print media is removed before it settles into the output bin.	Reset the printer. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it.
When duplexing, the print media is removed before the second side of the document is printed.	Reset the printer and print the document again. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it.
Print media is in poor condition. Replace the print media.
Print media is not picked up by the internal rollers from Tray 2 or an optional tray.	Remove the top sheet of media. If the media is heavier than 105 g/m^2 (28 lb), it might not be picked from the tray.
Print media has rough or jagged edges. Replace the media.
Print media is perforated or embossed. This media does not separate easily. You might need to feed single sheets from Tray 1.
Printer supply items have reached the end of their useful life.	Check the printer control panel for messages prompting you to replace supplies, or print a supplies status page to verify the remaining life of the supplies. SeeReplacing suppliesfor more information.
Media was not stored correctly.	Replace the print media. Media should be stored in the original packaging in a controlled environment.
	NOTEIf the printer continues to jam, contact HP Customer Support or your authorized HP service provider. For more information, seehttp://www.hp.com/support/clj4700.

Print quality troubleshooting

When occasional print quality problems occur, use the information in this section to help solve the problem.

Print quality problems associated with media

Some print quality problems arise from use of inappropriate media.

• Use paper that meets HP paper specifications. See Supported media weights and sizes.
- The surface of the media is too smooth. Use media that meets HP paper specifications. See Supported media weights and sizes.
- The print driver setting might be incorrect. Be sure that you have selected the correct driver setting for the paper that you are using.
- The print mode might be set incorrectly, or the paper might not meet recommended specifications. For more information, see Supported media weights and sizes.
- The transparencies you are using are not designed for proper toner adhesion. Use only transparencies designed for HP Color LaserJet printers.
- The moisture content of the paper is uneven, too high, or too low. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream of paper.
- Some areas of the paper reject toner. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream of paper.
- The letterhead you are using is printed on rough paper. Use a smoother, xerographic paper. If this solves your problem, consult with the printer of your letterhead to verify that the paper used meets the specifications for this printer. See Supported media weights and sizes.
• The paper is excessively rough. Use a smoother, xerographic paper.

Overhead transparency defects

Overhead transparencies might display any of the image quality problems that any other type of media could display, as well as defects specific to transparencies. In addition, because transparencies are pliable while in the print path, they are subject to being marked by the media-handling components.

NOTE Allow transparencies to cool at least 30 seconds before handling them.

• On the printer driver's Paper tab, select Transparency as the media type. Also, make sure that the tray is correctly configured for transparencies.
• Check that the transparencies meet the specifications for this printer. See Supported media weights and sizes.

For ordering information, see Part numbers.

- Handle transparencies by the edges. Skin oil on the surface of transparencies can cause spots and smudges.

- Small, random dark areas on the trailing edge of solid fill pages might be caused by transparencies sticking together in the output bin. Try printing the job in smaller batches.

• The selected colors are undesirable when printed. Select different colors in the software application or printer driver.
  • If you are using a reflective overhead projector, use a standard overhead projector instead.

Print quality problems associated with the environment

The printer is operating in excessively humid or dry conditions. Verify that the printing environment is within specifications. See Environmental specifications.

Print quality problems associated with jams

• Make sure that all media is cleared from the paper path. See Paper jam recovery.
The printer recently jammed. Print two to three pages to clean the printer.
- The media does not pass through the fuser causing image defects to appear on subsequent documents. Print two to three pages to clean the printer. However, if the problem persists see the next section.

Print quality troubleshooting pages

The print quality troubleshooting pages provide information on aspects of the printer that affect print quality.

1. Press Menu to enter the MENUS.
2. Press ▼ to highlight DIAGNOSTICS.
3. Press √ to select DIAGNOSTICS.
4. Press ▼ to highlight PQ TROUBLESHOOTING.
5. Press √ to select PQ TROUBLESHOOTING.

The message Printing... PQ troubleshooting appears on the display until the printer finishes printing the print quality troubleshooting information. The printer returns to the Ready state after printing the print quality troubleshooting information.

The print quality troubleshooting information includes one page for each color (black, magenta, cyan, and yellow), printer statistics related to print quality, instructions on interpreting the information, and procedures to solve print quality problems.

If following the procedures recommended by the print quality troubleshooting pages do not improve print quality, go to http://www.hp.com/support/clj4700.

Print quality troubleshooting tool

The print quality troubleshooting tool helps you identify and troubleshoot print quality issues for the HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer. The tool includes solutions for many print quality issues, using standard images to provide a common diagnostic environment. It is designed to provide intuitive, step-by-step directions for printing troubleshooting pages that are used to isolate print quality problems and provide possible solutions.

To find the print quality troubleshooting tool, go to the following URL: http://www.hp.com/go/printquality/clj4700.

Calibrating the printer

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer automatically calibrates and cleans at various times to maintain the highest level of print quality. The user might also request the printer to calibrate via the printer's control panel, using QUICK CALIBRATE NOW or FULL CALIBRATE NOW located in the CALIBRATION and PRINT QUALITY menu. QUICK CALIBRATE NOW is used for color tone calibration and takes about 65 seconds. If color density or tone seems wrong, Quick Calibration can be run. Full Calibration includes the Quick Calibrate routines and adds Drum Phase Calibration and Color Plane Registration (CPR). This takes about 4 minutes and 20 seconds. If color layers (black, magenta, cyan, and yellow) on the printed page seem to be shifted from one another, FULL CALIBRATE NOW should be run.

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer incorporates a new feature to skip calibration when appropriate, thereby making the printer available more quickly. For example, if the printer is powered off and on quickly (within 20 seconds), calibration is not needed and will be skipped. In this case, the printer will reach the Ready state approximately one minute sooner.

While the printer is calibrating and cleaning, the printer will pause printing for the amount of time it takes to complete the calibration or cleaning. For most calibrations and cleaning, the printer will not interrupt a print job, but will wait for the job to complete before calibrating or cleaning.

1. Press Menu to enter the MENUS.
2. Press ▼ to highlight CONFIGURE DEVICE.
3. Press √ to select CONFIGURE DEVICE.
4. Press ▼ to highlight PRINT QUALITY.
5. Press √ to select PRINT QUALITY.

Safety statements

Laser safety

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has implemented regulations for laser products manufactured since August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The printer is certified as a "Class 1" laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape during any phase of normal user operation.

WARNING! Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified in this user guide could result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
