Control print jobs
When changing print settings, follow the hierarchy of how changes are prioritized. (Note that the names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on the software program.)
- Application Settings dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Application Settings or a similar command on the File menu in the software program. This dialog box is part of the program in which you are working. Settings that are changed here override settings that are changed anywhere else.
- Print dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command on the File menu in the software program. It is also part of the program, but it has a lower priority than the Application Settings dialog box. Settings that are changed in the Print dialog box do not override settings that are changed in the Application Settings dialog box. Settings that are changed here do override settings that are changed in the printer driver.
- Printer driver. The printer driver opens when you click Properties in the Print dialog box. Settings that are changed here do not override settings that are changed anywhere else.
Selecting print media settings
When a job is sent to the printer, the printer driver controls what paper tray is used to pull media through the printer. By default, the printer automatically selects the tray, but a specific tray can be chosen based on three user specified settings: Source, Type, and Size. These settings are available from the Application Setting dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the printer driver.
Setting Description
Source Directs the printer to pull paper from a user-specified tray. The
printer tries to print from this tray, no matter what type or size media is loaded in it. However, if the selected tray is configured from the HP ToolboxFX for a type or size and that does not match the print job, the printer does not print automatically. To begin printing, load the selected tray with the correct type or size of print media for the print job. When loading the tray, the printer begins printing. If the printer does not begin printing:
- Verify the tray configuration matches the size or type of the print job.
- Press OK to have the printer try to print from another tray.
Type or Size Directs the printer to pull paper or print media from the first tray
that is loaded with the type or size that you selected. Always print by Type for special print media such as labels or transparencies.

NOTE When the trays have not been configured for a certain type or size from the HP ToolboxFX, load the paper or print media into a tray then select the Type or Size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the printer driver.
Setting Description

NOTE An Administrator or individual user can set the HP ToolboxFX to direct the MFP to pull from a tray that is pre-configured for a specified Type or Size. This is helpful when frequently printing on the same type of media; a dedicated tray is already pre-configured for printing.

Overview
The MFP provides carefully designed and tested color tables to provide smooth, accurate color rendition of all printable colors.
HP provides online tools to help businesses of all sizes with their color printing. HP's Office Color Printing Center (http://www.hp.com/go/color) identifies solutions and information on creating finished projects.
HP ImageREt 2400
ImageREt 2400 is a system of key color laser technologies that offer excellent print quality. At the foundation of the system are imaging enhancements, HP Smart supplies, and high-resolution imaging. Optimized for printing on HP color laser high-gloss papers, HP ImageREt provides superior results on all supported media and under a variety of environmental conditions. For more information, see http://www.hp.com and search on ImageREt 2400.
Media selection
For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate media type from the printer-driver properties. See Media supported on this MFP for more information.
Color options
In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the printer driver.
Color options use object tagging, which allows optimal color 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 color settings that provide the best print quality for each object. Object tagging, combined with optimized default settings, produces great color from the MFP without having to establish any special settings.
Manage color options
Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents. However, in some situations, you might want to print a color document in grayscale (black and shades of gray) or to change one of the MFP's color options.

NOTE For additional information about modifying color when copying, see Adjust copy quality and Adjust the color balance in copies.
Print in Grayscale
Selecting the Print in Grayscale option from the printer driver prints a document in black and shades of gray. This option is useful for printing color documents that are to be photocopied.
Selecting Print in Grayscale in the Print Quality options on the Paper Quality tab allows for changing the settings to accommodate different types of jobs.
Automatic versus Manual color adjustment
The Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral gray color treatment, and the edge enhancements that are used for each element in a document. For more information, see the printer driver online Help.

NOTE Automatic is the default setting and is recommended for printing all color documents.
Use the Manual color adjustment option to adjust the neutral gray color treatment, and the edge enhancements for text, graphics, and photographs. To gain access to the Manual color options, on the Color tab, click Manual, then click Settings.
Change color options
Use the Manual color adjustment to adjust the Color (or Color Map) options.

NOTE Some software programs convert text or graphics to raster images. In these cases, the Photographs setting also controls the text and graphics.
Halftone options
Halftoning is the method by which the MFP mixes the four primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) in varying proportions to create millions of colors. Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of the color output. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail.
- The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photos by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option when uniform and smooth area fills are the most important attributes.
- The Detail option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Choose this option when sharp edges and details are the most important attributes.
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of two components: Adaptive Halftoning and Trapping. Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. The following levels of edge control are available:
• Off sets Trapping and Adaptive Halftoning to Off.
• Normal provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.
• Maximum provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that was originally developed by HP and Microsoft as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices (MFPs and plotters). It is the default color space that is used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide Web, and most office software that is sold today. The sRGB standard is representative of the typical Windows computer monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.

NOTE Factors such as the type of monitor used and the room's lighting can affect the appearance of colors on the screen. For more information, see Match colors.
The latest Versions of Adobe® PhotoShop®, 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 way to exchange color information between software programs and devices by using a common definition that assures typical users experience greatly improved color matching. The sRGB standard improves the ability to match colors between the MFP, the computer monitor, and other input devices (scanners and digital cameras) automatically, without the need to become a color expert.
RGB Color
The RGB Color option determines how colors are rendered.
- Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the MFP to interpret RGB color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Organization.
- Select AdobeRGB for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. For example, some digital cameras capture images in AdobeRGB, 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 to turn off the color management in the software program and allow the MFP software to manage the color space.
- Photo Image interprets the RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph by using a digital mini-lab. It is designed to render the deeper, more saturated colors differently than Default mode. Use this setting for printing photos.
- Device sets the MFP to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs properly when this option is selected, manage color through the software program or in the operating system.
- Vivid instructs the MFP to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors that are used in text, graphics, and photographs.
- Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast.
- 4-Color generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner. This option produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible black.
Match colors
Matching MFP output color to the computer screen is complex because MFPs and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by light pixels using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but MFPs print colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) process.
The following factors can influence the ability to match printed colors to those on the screen:
- Print media
• MFP colorants (inks or toners, for example)
• Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology, for example)
• Overhead lighting - Programs
Printer drivers
• Computer operating system
Monitors
• Video cards and drivers
• Operating environment (very humid or very dry)
• Personal differences in perception of color
Variations between RGB and CMYK color processing.
Sometimes colors on the screen do not perfectly match the printed colors. The best method for matching colors on the screen to the MFP is to print sRGB colors. The MFP uses sRGB and automatically optimizes color output.
Use the HP ToolboxFX software to print a palette of the Microsoft Office Basic Colors. The palette is used to select the final color in the printed document.
- In HP ToolboxFX, select the Help folder.
- In the Print Quality Troubleshooting section, select Print Basic Colors.
This palette shows the actual printed color seen when the basic color option is selected in the Microsoft Office application.

Scan using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software
The MFP is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Acquisition (WIA)-compliant for Windows XP and beyond. The MFP also supports TWAIN-compliant Macintosh applications.
Use TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software
When in a TWAIN-enabled or WIA-enabled program, access the scanning feature and scan an image directly into the open program. For more information, see the Help file or the documentation that came with the TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software program.
Scan from a TWAIN-enabled program

NOTE The Windows and Macintosh device software complies with TWAIN Version 1.9 requirements.
Generally, a software program is TWAIN-enabled if it has a command such as Acquire, File Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. When uncertain whether or not the program is compliant or do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or documentation.
Start the scan from within the TWAIN-enabled program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
Scan from a WIA-enabled program (Windows XP only)
WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program, such as Microsoft Word. WIA uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of scanning software.
Generally, a software program is WIA-enabled if it has a command such as Picture/From Scanner or Camera in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the program is WIA-enabled, see the software program Help or documentation.
- Start the scan from within the WIA-enabled program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
- In the Cameras and Scanner folder, double-click the device icon. This opens the standard WIA-enabled software program, which enables a file to be scanned.
Scan by using optical character recognition (OCR) software
Third-party OCR software (available on a separate CD-ROM) is available to import scanned text into the preferred word-processing program for editing.
Readiris
The MFP software includes a separate CD-ROM for the Readiris PRO 10 OCR software. To use the Readiris program, install it from the appropriate software CD-ROM, then follow the instructions in the online Help.
Scan a photo

To cancel a scan job, use one of these procedures.
• On the control panel, press Cancel.
- Click Cancel in the onscreen dialog box.
When canceling a scan job, remove the original from the flatbed scanner.

NOTE These procedures vary with Macintosh operating systems.
Scanner resolution and color
To improve the print resolution or color for a scanned image, select a resolution or color setting that matches your needs in the scanner software. Resolution and color affect the following features of scanned images:
- Image clarity
• Texture of gradations (smooth or rough) - Scan time
File size
Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi). Color, grayscale, and black and white define the number of colors possible. Adjust the scanner hardware resolution to up to 1200 ppi. The software can perform an enhanced resolution up to 19,200 ppi. Also, set color and grayscale at 1 bit (black and white), or at 8 bit (256 levels of gray) to 24 bit (true color).
The resolution and color guidelines table lists simple scanning tips.

NOTE Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files that take up disk space and slow the scanning process. Before setting the resolution and color, determine how the scanned image is being used.
Resolution and color guidelines
This table describes the recommended resolution and color settings for different types of scan jobs.
| Intended use Recommended resolution Recommended color settings | |
| Display on screen 75 ppi | Black and White for textGrayscale for graphics and photosColor, if the image is in color |
| Print (graphics or text) 600 ppi for complex graphics, or to significantly enlarge the document300 ppi for normal graphics and text150 ppi for photos | Black and White for text and line artGrayscale for shaded or colored graphics and photosColor, if the image is in color |
| Edit text 300 ppi | Black and White |
| E-mail 150 ppi | Black and White, if the image does not require smooth gradationGrayscale, if the image requires smooth gradationColor, if the image is in color |

Supported network protocols
This table lists the networking services/protocols supported on the HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP.
Table 11-1 Printing
| Service name Description |
| port9100 (Direct Mode) Printing service |
| Line printer daemon (LPD) Printing service |
Table 11-2 Network device discovery
| Service name Description | |
| SLP (Service Location Protocol) Device Discovery Protocol, used to help find and configure network devices. Used primarily by Microsoft based applications. | |
| Bonjour, (commonly referred to as Rendezvous or mDNS (multicast Domain Name Service)) | Device Discovery Protocol, used to help find and configure network devices. Used primarily by Apple Macintosh based Applications. For more information, see Software for Macintosh. |
Table 11-3 Messaging and management
| Service name Description | |
| HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) Allows web browsers to communicate with embedded Web server. | |
| SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) | Used by network applications for device management. SNMP v1 and standard MIB-II (Management Information Base) objects are supported. |
Table 11-4 IP addressing
| Service name Description | |
| DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) | For Automatic IP address assignment. DHCP server provides device with IP address. Generally requires no user intervention for MFP to obtain IP address from a DHCP server. |
| BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) For Automatic IP address assignment. BOOTP server provides device with IP address. Requires administrator to input devices MAC hardware address on BOOTP server in order for MFP to obtain an IP address from that server. | |
| Auto IP For Automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP server nor a BOOTP server is present, this service allows the | |
| MFP to generate a unique IP address. For example, the IP address 169.254.0.10 represents a series of triplets ranging from 0 to 254; this address is not manually configurable. | |
TCP/IP
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and other devices communicate with each other over a network.
TCP/IP is rapidly becoming the most used set of protocols because the Internet is based on TCP/IP. If there is a network that you want to connect to the Internet, use TCP/IP to communicate.

NOTE This MFP does not support IP V6.
Internet Protocol (IP)
When information is sent across the network, the data is broken down into small packets. Each packet is sent independently of one another. Each packet is encoded with IP information, such as the IP address of the sender and receiver. IP packets can be routed over routers and gateways, devices that connect a network with other networks.
IP communications is connectionless. When IP packets are sent, there is no guarantee that they arrive at their destination in the proper sequence. That task can be performed by higher level protocols and applications thereby allowing IP communications to be efficient.
Each node or device that communicates directly onto the network requires an IP address.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
TCP handles breaking the data into packets and recombining the packets on the receiving end by providing a connection-oriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to another node on the network. When data packets are received at their destination, TCP calculates a checksum for each packet to verify the data is not corrupt. If the data in the packet has been corrupted during transmission, TCP discards the packet and requests that the packet be resent.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
UDP provides similar services to TCP. However, UDP does not acknowledge data receipt and supports request/reply transactions with no added reliability or guarantee of delivery. UDP is used when acknowledgment and reliability are not required, such as during a “discovery broadcast.”
IP address
Every host (workstation or node) on an IP network requires a unique IP address for each network interface. This address is a software address that is used to identify both the network and specific hosts located on that network. Each IP address can be divided into two separate parts: the network portion and the host portion. It is possible for a host to query a server for a dynamic IP address each time the device boots up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).
NOTE When assigning IP addresses, always consult the IP address administrator. Setting the wrong address can disable other equipment operating on the network or interfere with communications.
Configure IP parameters
TCP/IP parameters (such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway) can be configured on the MFP manually (for example, through the embedded Web server, and HP management software), or automatically downloaded using DHCP or BOOTP each time the MFP is turned on.
When powered on, a new MFP that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network automatically assigns itself a default IP address. The default IP address depends on the type of network to which the MFP is connected. On a small private network, a technique called link-local addressing is used to assign a unique IP address in the range of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255, which should be valid. The IP address configured on the MFP can be determined by inspecting the Network Configuration page.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP allows a group of devices to use a set of IP addresses that are maintained by a DHCP server. The device or host sends a request to the server, and if an IP address is available, the server assigns it to that device.
BOOTP
BOOTP is a bootstrap protocol used to download configuration parameters and host information from a network server. BOOTP uses UDP for its transport. In order for devices to boot and load configuration information into RAM, they must communicate through the bootstrap protocol BOOTP as a client with their server.
To configure the device, the client broadcasts a boot request packet containing at least the hardware address of the device (MFP hardware address). The server answers with a boot reply packet containing the information the device needs to configure.
Subnets
When an IP network address for a particular network class is assigned to an organization, no provision is made for more than one network being present at that location. Local network administrators use subnets to partition a network into several different subnetworks. Splitting a network into subnets can result in better performance and improved use of limited network address space.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask is a mechanism used to divide a single IP network into several different subnetworks. For a given network class, a portion of an IP address that would normally be used to identify a node is used, instead, to identify a subnetwork. A subnet mask is applied to each IP address to specify the portion used for subnetworks, and the portion used to identify the node. See Manually configure a static IP address for more information about obtaining subnet mask data.
Table 11-5 Example: Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 applied to class A network
| Class A Network Address Network 15 xxx xxx xxx | |
| Subnet Mask 255 255 0 0 | |
| IP Address fields with Subnet Mask applied | Network Subnet Host Host |
Table 11-5 Example: Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 applied to class A network (continued)
| Class A Network Address | Network 15 | xxx | xxx | xxx |
| Example of a node's IP Address on Subnet 1 | 210 1 25 7 | |||
| Example of a node's IP Address on Subnet 254 | 210 254 64 2 |
The Class A IP network address 210 has been assigned to company ABC. To allow additional networks at company ABC's site, the subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 is used. This subnet mask specifies that the second byte of the IP address is used to identify up to 254 subnets. Using this designation, each device is uniquely identified on its own subnet, but company ABC can incorporate up to 254 subnetworks without violating their assigned address space.
Gateways
Gateways are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators between systems that do not use the same communication protocols, data formatting, structures, languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match that of the destination system. When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are required to connect one subnet to another. A typical gateway IP address could be 192.168.0.1. See Manually configure a static IP address for more information about obtaining gateways data.
Default gateway
The default gateway is the gateway that, if not specified, is used to move packets between networks. It is specified by an IP address.
If multiple gateways exist, then the default gateway is typically the address of the first, or nearest, gateway. If no gateways exist, then the default gateway typically assumes the IP address of the network node (such as the workstation or MFP).
Problem Solving
Verify that the MFP is on and online
Check the following items to make sure the MFP is ready to print.
Resolve communication problems with the network
Check the following items to verify the MFP is communicating with the network. This information assumes a Network configuration page has already been printed. See Networking page (HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP only).
- Are the network cables connected properly?
Ensure that the MFP is attached to the network using the appropriate port and cable. Verify each cable connection to make sure it is secure and in the right place. If the problem continues, try a different cable or ports on the hub or transceiver. The amber activity light should be blinking and the green link status light should be solid next to the port connection on the MFP back.
-
Review the information on the Network Hardware Configuration page. Start with the Network Hardware section:
-
Initializing: If the printer has not obtained a valid IP address, wait four minutes and reprint the Network Hardware Configuration page.
- Not Connected: a printer-cable is not connected to the printer or a cable is defective. Change the network cable and verify that it is properly connected into the network. Verify hub or switch are on and working properly.
- Connected: The printer has been assigned a TCP/IP address from BOOTP, DHCP, or AUTOIP.
- Duplicate IP address detected: Another networked device has the same IP address assigned. Contact the network administrator to resolve this issue.
Review under the TCP/IP section of the Network Hardware Configuration page the IP configured by method:
- Manual: User entered information. Verify the TCP/IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway are correct.
- DHCP: Automatically assigned TCP/IP address by the dynamic host controller protocol (DHCP) server.
- BOOTP: Manually assigned TCP/IP address by the BOOTP server.
-
AUTOIP: Default address assigned for Link Local connection (no DHCP or BOOTP server available).
-
Can you "ping" the MFP?
Use the command prompt to ping the MFP from the computer. For example:
ping 192.168.0.10
Ensure that the ping displays round-trip times.
If you can ping the MFP, verify that the IP address configuration for the MFP is correct on the workstation. If it is correct, uninstall and re-install the MFP software.
If the ping command failed, verify that the network hubs are on, then verify that the network settings, the MFP, and the computer are all configured for the same network.
- Are other MFPs able to print?
If yes, the problem is workstation-specific. Verify that both workstations are using the same network settings.

CAUTION Do not assign identical TCP/IP addresses to two network devices on the same network.
- If network communication is not resolved by using steps 1 through 3, or if other users can not print, reset all network configuration settings to factory-defaults by selecting Restore defaults from the control panel. After the MFP automatically power cycles, wait four to six minutes and verify that the network functionality is working properly. Contact the network administrator for more information.

Control print jobs
When changing print settings, follow the hierarchy of how changes are prioritized. (Note that the names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on the software program.)
- Application Settings dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Application Settings or a similar command on the File menu in the software program. This dialog box is part of the program in which you are working. Settings that are changed here override settings that are changed anywhere else.
- Print dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command on the File menu in the software program. It is also part of the program, but it has a lower priority than the Application Settings dialog box. Settings that are changed in the Print dialog box do not override settings that are changed in the Application Settings dialog box. Settings that are changed here do override settings that are changed in the printer driver.
- Printer driver. The printer driver opens when you click Properties in the Print dialog box. Settings that are changed here do not override settings that are changed anywhere else.
Selecting print media settings
When a job is sent to the printer, the printer driver controls what paper tray is used to pull media through the printer. By default, the printer automatically selects the tray, but a specific tray can be chosen based on three user specified settings: Source, Type, and Size. These settings are available from the Application Setting dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the printer driver.
Setting Description
Source Directs the printer to pull paper from a user-specified tray. The
printer tries to print from this tray, no matter what type or size media is loaded in it. However, if the selected tray is configured from the HP ToolboxFX for a type or size and that does not match the print job, the printer does not print automatically. To begin printing, load the selected tray with the correct type or size of print media for the print job. When loading the tray, the printer begins printing. If the printer does not begin printing:
- Verify the tray configuration matches the size or type of the print job.
- Press OK to have the printer try to print from another tray.
Type or Size Directs the printer to pull paper or print media from the first tray
that is loaded with the type or size that you selected. Always print by Type for special print media such as labels or transparencies.

NOTE When the trays have not been configured for a certain type or size from the HP ToolboxFX, load the paper or print media into a tray then select the Type or Size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog box, or the printer driver.

NOTE An Administrator or individual user can set the HP ToolboxFX to direct the MFP to pull from a tray that is pre-configured for a specified Type or Size. This is helpful when frequently printing on the same type of media; a dedicated tray is already pre-configured for printing.

HP policy on non-HP supplies
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or remanufactured. When they are not HP products, HP cannot influence the product design or quality. Service or repair required as a result of using a non-HP supply is not covered under the MFP warranty.
When inserting a supply into the MFP, the MFP displays whether or not the supply is a genuine HP supply. When a genuine HP is inserted and that supply has reached the low state from another HP MFP, the MFP identifies the supply as non-HP. Simply return the supply to the original MFP to reactivate HP features and functionality.
Reset the MFP for non-HP supplies
When a non-HP print cartridge is installed, a question mark appears in the displays above the cartridge that is non-HP. To print with this supply press OK the first time this non-HP supply is installed. The status gauges do not indicate when this type of supply is low or empty.

CAUTION The MFP may not stop printing with non-HP supplies. MFP damage can occur if the MFP prints with an empty print cartridge. See Hewlett-Packard limited warranty statement and Print Cartridge Limited Warranty Statement.

The majority of the control-panel messages are intended to guide the user through typical operation. The control-panel messages indicate the status of the current operation, and include a page count on the second line of the display, if appropriate. In addition, alert messages, warning messages, and critical error messages indicate situations that might require some action.
Alert and warning messages appear temporarily and might require the user to acknowledge the message by pressing OK to resume or by pressing Cancel to cancel the job. With certain warnings, the job might not complete or the print quality might be affected. If the alert or warning message is related to printing and the auto-continue feature is on, the MFP attempts to resume the printing job after the warning has appeared for 10 seconds without acknowledgement.
Critical error messages can indicate some kind of failure. Cycling the power might fix the problem. If a critical error persists, the MFP might require service.

Solve print problems
Print-quality problems
The following sections help identify and resolve print-quality issues.
Identifying and correcting print defects
Use the checklist and print-quality issues charts in this section to solve print-quality problems.
Print-quality checklist
Resolve general print-quality problems by using this checklist:
- Ensure the paper or print media used meets specifications. Generally, smoother paper provides better results.
- When using a special print media such as labels, transparencies, glossy, or letterhead, ensure that you have printed by type.
-
Remove any toner build-up and run a cleaning page.
-
Print a Configuration page and Supplies Status page at the MFP. See Information pages.
-
Check the Supplies Status page to verify that supplies are not low or empty. No information is provided for non-HP print cartridges.
-
If the Configuration and Supplies Status pages do not print correctly, suspect a problem with the MFP printing components. Contact HP Customer Care. See HP Customer Care or the flyer that came in the MFP box.
-
Print a Demo page from the HP ToolboxFX. If the page prints, the problem is with the printer driver. Try printing from the other printer driver. For example, when using the PCL6 printer driver, print from the HP PostScript level 3 printer driver.
Use the Add Printer Wizard in the Printers folder in Windows XP dialog box to install the HP PostScript level 3 driver.
-
Try printing from a different program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the program from which you were printing.
-
Restart the computer and the MFP and try printing again. If the problem is not resolved, choose one of these options:
-
If the problem is affecting all printed pages, see General print quality issues.
- If the problem is affecting only pages printed in color, see Solve issues with printing color documents.

Media-handling problems
Use the information in this section when the MFP experiences media-handling problems.
Print-media guidelines
For best results, make sure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
- For best-quality color printing, use a smooth type of paper. Generally, smoother media produces better results.
- Check the paper package label to ensure the type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled) is correct.
- Do not use media that is designed for Inkjet MFPs only. Use media that is designed for color LaserJet MFPs.
- Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
- The MFP uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature 210^ C (410°F) for 0.1 seconds).

CAUTION Failure to follow these guidelines could cause jams or damage to the MFP.
Solve print-media problems
The following problems with paper cause print-quality deviations, jamming, or even damage to the MFP.
| Problem Cause Solution | ||
| Poor print quality or toner adhesion The paper is too moist, too rough, too heavy or too smooth, or it is embossed or from a faulty paper lot. | Verify that the appropriate media type was selected in the printer driver.Try another kind of paper, between 100 and 250 Sheffield, 4% to 6% moisture content. | |
| Dropouts, jamming, or curl | The paper has been stored incorrectly. | Store paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping. |
| The paper has variability from one side to the other. | Turn the paper over. | |
| Excessive curl The paper is too moist, has the wrong grain direction, or is of short-grain construction. | Verify that the appropriate media type was selected in the printer driver.Try printing on media from a new or different package.Use long-grain paper. | |
| Jamming, damage to MFP | The paper has cutouts or perforations. | Use paper that is free of cutouts or perforations. |
| Problems with feeding | The paper has ragged edges. | Use high-quality paper that is made for color laser printers. |
| The paper varies from side-to-side. Turn the paper over. | ||
| The paper is too moist, too rough, too heavy or too smooth, has the wrong grain direction, or is of short-grain construction or it is embossed or from a faulty paper lot. | Try another kind of paper, between 100 and 250 Sheffield, 4 to 6% moisture content.Use long-grain paper. | |
| Print is skewed (crooked) The media guides might be incorrectly adjusted. | Remove all media from the input tray, straighten the stack, then load the media in the input tray again. Adjust the media guides to the width and length of the media being used and try printing again. | |
| More than one sheet feeds at one time. | The media tray might be overloaded. | Remove some of the media from the tray.SeeLoad trays. |
| The media might be wrinkled, folded, or damaged. | Verify that the media is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. Try printing on media from a new or different package. | |
| MFP does not pull media from the media input tray. | The MFP might be in manual feed mode. | If Manual feed appears on the MFP control-panel display, press OK to print the job.Verify that the MFP is not in manual feed mode and print the job again. |
| The media tray might be overloaded. Remove some of the media from the tray.See Load trays. | ||
| The paper-length adjustment control in tray 2 or optional tray 3 is set at a length that is greater than the media size. | Adjust the paper-length adjustment control to the correct length. | |
| The pickup roller might be dirty or damaged. | Contact HP Customer Care. See HP Customer Care or the support flyer that came in the MFP box. | |
Performance problems
Try the tips in this section if pages exit the MFP but have nothing printed on them, or when the MFP does not print any pages.
| Problem Cause Solution | ||
| Pages print but are totally blank. The sealing tape might still be in the print cartridges. | Verify that the sealing tape has been completely removed from the print cartridges. | |
| The document might contain blank pages. | Check the document that is printing to see if content appears on all of the pages. | |
| The MFP might be malfunctioning. To check the MFP, print a Configuration page. | ||
| Pages print very slowly. Heavier media types can slow the print job. | Print on a different type of media. | |
| Complex pages print more slowly. Proper fusing requires a slower print speed to ensure the best print quality. | ||
| Pages did not print. | The MFP might not be pulling media correctly. | See Media-handling problems. |
| The media is jamming in the MFP. Clear the jam. | ||
| The USB cable might be defective or incorrectly connected. | · Disconnect the USB cable at both ends and reconnect it.· Try printing a job that has printed in the past.· Try using a different USB cable. | |
| Other devices are running on the computer. | The device might not share a USB port. When there is an external hard drive or network switchbox connected to the same port as the MFP, the other device might be interfering. To connect and use the MFP, disconnect the other device or use two USB ports on the computer. | |
Resolve copy problems
The following are a few simple steps that can improve copy quality:
• Use quality originals.
- Adjust the control-panel settings for the type of original.
- Use the Text setting for items that contain mostly text.
- Use the Film photo setting when making a copy of a photograph.
• Use Picture when making a copy of a graphic. - Use the Mixed setting for documents that include both text and graphics.
Use the table to Identify and resolve imaging problems.
Problem Cause Solution
| Copy edges are cropped. Original is edge-to-edge or has margins smaller than those supported by this MFP. | 1. Position the original 1/6" away from the top and right edges of the scanner glass. | |
| 2. Select Reduce/Enlarge, and press the navigation arrows to select Full Page=91%, then press Start Copy Black or Start Copy Color. | ||
Images are missing or faded. See Calibrate the MFP.
| One or more print cartridges might be low. | Replace any low print cartridges. |

Resolve scanning problems
Use the table to solve image-scan issues.
| Problem Cause Solution | |
| The scanned image is of poor quality. The original might be a second-generation photo or picture. | To eliminate the patterns, try reducing the size of the image after scanning.Print the scanned image to see if the quality is better.Verify that the resolution and color settings are correct for the type of scan job being performed. |
| If the scanned page has a background but the original document does not, the original might be too thin to scan or copy cleanly. | On the flatbed scanner, place three sheets of clean paper on top of the original, close the flatbed scanner cover, then re-scan the original. |
| The image that appears on the screen might not be an accurate representation of the quality of the scan. | Try adjusting the computer monitor settings to use more colors (or levels of gray). Make this adjustment by opening Display in Windows Control Panel.Try adjusting the resolution and color settings in the scanner software. |
| The original might have been loaded incorrectly. | Verify originals are properly loaded onto the flatbed scanner. See Scan methods. |
| The scanner might be dirty. Clean the scanner. | |
| The graphics settings might not be suitable for the type of scan job that being performed. | Try changing the graphics settings or the scan mode. |
| Part of the image did not scan. The original might have been loaded incorrectly. | Verify originals are properly loaded onto the flatbed scanner. |
| A colored background might be causing images in the foreground to blend into the background. | Try adjusting the settings before scanning the original or enhancing the image after scanning the original. |
| The original is longer than 298 mm (11.75 in). | The maximum flatbed scannable length is 298 mm (11.75 in). If the page exceeds the maximum length, the scanner stops. |
| The original is too small. The minimum size that the flatbed scanner supports is 25 by 25 mm (1 by 1 inches). | |
| The media size is incorrect. In Scan settings, make sure that the input media size is large enough for the document that being scanned. | |
| Problem Cause Solution | ||
| The scan takes too long. | The resolution or color level is set too high. | Change the resolution and color level settings to the correct settings for the job. |
| The software is set to scan in color. The system default is color, which takes longer to scan even when scanning a monochrome original. If you acquire an image through TWAIN or WIA, you can change the settings so that the original scans in grayscale or black-and-white. See the device software Help for details. | ||
| A print job or copy job was sent before you tried to scan. | If someone sent a print job or copy job before you tried to scan, the scan starts if the scanner is not busy. However, because the printer and scanner share memory, the scan might be slower. | |
Resolve scan-quality problems using the table.
| Problem Cause Solution | ||
| Blank pages The original might have been loadedupside down. | On the flatbed scanner, place the original document face-down with the upper-left corner of the document at the lower-right corner of the glass. | |
| The scanner bulb might not be working. If the scanner bulb does not light, verify that the cables from the scanner to the formatter are connected correctly. If the error persists, replace parts one at a time in the following order until the problem is resolved: scanner assembly, and finally the formatter. | ||
| Too light or dark The resolution and color levels may be set incorrectly. | Verify the resolution and color settings.Use the Text setting for items that contain mostly text.Use the Film photo setting when making a copy of a photograph.Use Picture when making a copy of a graphic.Use the Mixed setting for documents that include both text and graphics.Use the Draft setting if conserve toner or if the copy quality is not as important. | |
| Black dots or streaks Ink, glue, correction fluid, or an unwanted substance might be on the glass. | Clean the flatbed scanner surface. | |
| Unclear text The resolution and color levels may be set incorrectly. | Verify the correct resolution and color settings. | |

Repacking the MFP
If your MFP needs to be moved or shipped to another location, perform the following procedure to repack the MFP.

CAUTION Shipping damage as a result of inadequate packing is the customer's responsibility. To ensure proper protection during shipment, the MFP must be repackaged properly using the original cushions.
Repack the MFP

CAUTION It is extremely important to remove the print cartridges before shipping the MFP. Print cartridges left in the MFP during shipping will leak and entirely cover the MFP engine and other parts with toner.
To prevent damage to the print cartridge, avoid touching the roller, and store the print cartridge in its original packing material or so that it is not exposed to light.
- Remove all four print cartridges.
- If you have added optional tray 3, remove and retain.
- Remove and retain the power cable and interface cable.
- Remove and retain the output tray.
- If possible, include print samples and 50 to 100 sheets of paper or other print media that did not print correctly.
- Use the original shipping container and packing material, if possible. If you have already disposed of the MFP packing material, contact a local mailing service for information about repacking the MFP. HP recommends insuring the equipment for shipment.
- Include a completed copy of the Service information form.

Country/region-specific safety statements
Laser safety statement
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 MFP 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 MFP 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 can result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
