HP Business Inkjet 2230 - Step 2: Verify that the Printer Works - 1

Because you have installed an HP Jetdirect card, two configuration pages will print. The Jetdirect Configuration Page contains setup information (for example, LAN HW ADDRESS) that may be needed for the next step.

Step 3: Install the Printer Software

1 Install the PCL5 and PS printer driver from the Starter CD. For more information on using the Starter CD to install printer drivers, see "Software Installation".

HP Business Inkjet 2230 - Step 3: Install the Printer Software - 1

(Client Server printing) If your computer is a network server, share the printer to allow network clients to access the printer.

Sharing the Printer on a Network

HP Business Inkjet 2230 - Sharing the Printer on a Network - 1

This procedure is for enabling a PC to use a shared printer. It assumes that the printer driver is already installed on the PC and that the printer is currently being shared on a network.

In this configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port of a selected computer (or server) on the network and is shared by the other computers (or clients). The server could be a computer running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

Use this configuration only in small groups or when usage is low. The shared computer is slowed down when many users print to its shared printer.

Clients can connect to the printer in three different ways:

  • Install the printer software from the Starter CD and connect as a client using the network installation.
  • Browse to the printer on the network and drag the printer to your Printers folder. The printer software is not installed on your computer; the shared computer controls the printer driver software.
  • Add the printer and install the software from the INF file located on your network. Ask your network administrator where the INF is located.

On the Starter CD the INF files are stored in folders using the following format :\Windows\\\. For example, if your CD drive letter is D:, D:\Windows\PCL5\Win2k_XP\ENU contains the English Windows 2000 PCL5 INF file.

  • Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations or paper that is heavily textured or embossed.
  • Do not use multiple-part forms.
  • Load only one paper type at a time into any of the trays.
    ●Always load paper print-side down with the right edge of the paper aligned against the right edge of the tray.
  • Do not load more than 250 sheets of paper or a stack of paper more than 0.98 in (25 mm) thick (whichever is lower) into either of the paper trays.

Loading Paper in Tray 1 or Tray 2

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

  • Make sure nothing is blocking the paper path.
  • Do not overload the paper trays. Both paper trays hold up to 250 sheets of plain paper or other print material measuring 0.98 in (25 mm) in total paper stack height (whichever is less).
  • Load paper properly.
  • Do not use paper that is curled or crumpled.
    ●Always use paper that conforms with those listed in the Printer Specifications section.
    ●Always stack paper neatly when printing on both sides of the page (manual duplex).

Unexpected Printer Shutdown

- Check the power

Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and to a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. The LED on the front panel of the printer should be green. Try turning the printer OFF, then ON again.

- Check the printer's vents

If the printer's vents are covered, and the printer overheats, it automatically turns off. Make sure the vents are not covered and the printer is in a cool, dry location.

Nothing is Printed

- Be patient

Complex documents containing many fonts, graphics, and/or color photos take longer to begin printing. The LED blinks green when the printer is processing information.

- Check the power

Make sure the power cord is connected firmly to the printer and to a working outlet, and that the printer is turned on. The LED on the front panel of the printer should be green. Try turning the printer OFF, then ON again.

- Check the paper

Make sure paper is loaded correctly in the tray and that the paper is not jammed in the printer.

- Check the ink cartridges and printheads

Make sure the ink cartridges and printheads are properly installed. Properly close the printhead cover and printhead access cover. Make sure the shipping tape has been removed from the printheads.

- Try printing a Sample page

1 Press the M ENU button until INFORMATION MENU appears.
2 Press the I TEM button repeatedly until PRINT DEMO appears.
3 Press the R ESUME button to print the demo page.

- Check the printer setup

Make sure your HP Business Inkjet printer is selected as the current or default printer and that Pause Printing is not checked.

- Check the network setup

Make sure that your printer is properly setup in the network environment.

A Blank Page is Printed

- Check the printheads for tape

Make sure you have removed the printhead shipping tape that covers the ink nozzles.

- Check the printer setup

Make sure your printer is selected as the current or default printer.

- Check the parallel port on your computer

Make sure your printer is connected directly to the parallel port. Do not share the port with other devices such as a Zip drive.

Placement of the Text or Graphics is Wrong

- The paper size or orientation settings may be incorrect

Make sure the paper size and page orientation selected in the software program match the settings in the HP print settings dialog box.

• The paper may not be loaded correctly

If everything on the page is slanted or skewed, make sure the paper width and length adjusters fit snugly against the left and bottom edges of the paper stack, and that there are no more than 250 sheets of paper or a stack of paper 0.98 in (25 mm) thick loaded in either of the paper trays.

• The margin settings may be wrong

If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer.

- Printable area is not set correctly for a LaserJet document

When printing documents formatted for a LaserJet, pages in your document may get cropped, truncated or the content of one page may overflow to the next. Set the Emulate LaserJet Margins option in the printer driver.

Something on the Page is Missing or Incorrect

• The margin settings may be wrong
Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of your printer.
•Color print settings may be wrong
Grayscale may be selected in the HP print settings dialog box.
• The wrong printer may be selected

Make sure the correct printer is selected as the current or default printer.

- The Symmetrical Margins option makes the left and right margins equal and top and bottom margins equal. If the page appears incorrect, make sure this setting is not selected in the printer driver.

Printer Takes a Long Time to Print a Job

- Check your system configuration

The minimum system configuration for your printer is 486-66 MHz with 8 MB RAM. However, the printer performance is optimized for Pentium machines.

- There may be insufficient hard disk space in your system

If you are printing graphics-intensive files, make sure you have enough (more than 50 MB) hard disk space.

- The port setting configuration in your system is not set to ECP (Windows 95/98 only).

See the manual that comes with your computer for information on how to change your port setting or contact your computer manufacturer.

Printing Takes a Long Time Over the Network

- Set the print queue to accept only RAW data

In a Windows NT 4.0 client-server environment, the print server can be configured to accept only RAW data. In this configuration the client computer creates the RAW data instead of the print server. To enable this option:

1 Click Start and select Settings, followed by Printers.
2 Right-click the printer icon and select Properties.
3 Click the General tab.
4 Click Print Processor.
5 Check Always Spool RAW Datatype and click OK.

- Set the port monitor

Use the port software that comes with HP Web JetAdmin, instead of Microsoft LPR port software. Also, for optimal printing and spooling of 8.5 in x 14 in (216 x 356 mm) size jobs, the TCP/IP Idle time out value of the EIO card should be set to at least 360 seconds. To enable this option, access the printer's settings from the embedded Web server described in chapter 4, or use the CFG TCP/IP menu from the printer's Control Panel.

- Reduce the complexity of the file

Reduce the complexity of the file by reducing the number of colors used to create it.

- Print the file from a different application

Some applications handle complex print files more efficiently than others. Try printing your file from another application.

Operating System Version Number

Windows 9x, Windows Me Microsoft PScript Driver Version 4.00 and HP Business Inkjet 2280 PPD

Windows NT 4.0 Microsoft PScript Driver Version 4.01 and HP Business Inkjet 2280 PPD

Windows 2000, Windows XP HP Business Inkjet 2280 PPD

Installation Notes

When you are operating in a Windows environment, the setup software will detect the version of the operating system that you are running. The software will be installed in the language that you have selected in your Windows Control Panel. This means that you can be running an English version of Windows and have the language preference set to Spanish, and the installation utility will install the Spanish version of the printing software.

Upgrading from an older version of Windows

After completing the upgrade to a new version of Windows, you must reinstall the printer driver. For Example, if you upgrade from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you must reinstall the printer driver.

Identifying different printer drivers in Windows NT 4.0

If you have already installed a printer driver that was supplied with your Windows operating system for the printer, and you have also installed the printing software supplied with the printer, multiple printer drivers might exist on your computer system. Use these steps to find out which drivers are installed.

1 From the Start menu, click Settings and then click Printers.
2 Right-click on the printer name and then click Properties.

3 At the Properties window, click the General tab and then click the Print Test Page button.

If you are using the printer driver that is provided for the printer, the Printer Test Page will include the following information (shown with sample data).

Printer Name:

Printer Model: HP Business Inkjet 2230/2280

Driver Name: PSCRIPT4.DLL

Driver Version: 4.00

Installing the Printer Driver Only

If you obtained only a printer driver and its associated files (for example, through HP's web page), install them using the following steps.

1 Close all applications, terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs, and virus checkers.
2 From the Start menu, click Settings, then Printers, and then double-click Add Printer.
3 When prompted to select a printer, click Have Disk. Use Browse to enter the appropriate path to where the driver files are located.
4 Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the installation.

Current HP Business Inkjet users

If you currently have an HP Business Inkjet printer driver installed on your computer system, this printing software can be safely installed. It can coexist with drivers for different printers. It will replace and update only previous versions of the printing software for this printer. The new printer driver will have property pages similar to your older printer driver, but it will reflect the features and capabilities of the current driver.

Specific Printer Features/Issues

The printer driver provides default properties for most applications. You need to change these properties only if you are installing a new printer option, such as the optional Tray 2, or more memory; or if you are changing a specific feature.

To complete the request for property changes, use either the Apply button or the OK button. The Apply button activates the changes without closing the Properties dialog box. The OK button activates the changes and closes the Properties dialog box.

The following table shows which features are available for each Windows OS.

HP does not recommend using stiff media, such as card stock.

HP Business Inkjet 2230 - Specific Printer Features/Issues - 1

Print Quality

Operating System Location in Printer Driver
Windows 9x, Windows Me Paper tab, More Options...
Windows NT 4.0 Advanced tab, Printer Features
Windows 2000, Windows XP Advanced tab, Printing Defaults, Advanced, Printer Features

Options: Best, Normal-Speed Optimized, Normal, Fast

Best prints the best quality possible. Normal-Speed Optimized prints letter-quality up to 50% faster than Normal mode for color documents. Uses less ink and delivers comparable output to Normal mode. Only available for printing on plain paper. Normal is the recommended mode for everyday printing. Fast uses less ink, but the quality is not as high as normal.

Print Color as Gray

Operating System Location in Printer Driver
Windows 9x, Windows Me Device Options tab, Printer Features
Windows NT 4.0 Advanced tab, Printer Features
Windows 2000, Windows XP Advanced tab, Printing Defaults, Advanced, Printer Features

Options: On and Off

To activate grayscale printing, change the Print Color as Gray setting to on. This overrides your color settings and prints your documents in black and white (monochrome, grayscale). Grayscale means shades of gray, starting with white and ending with black. When a color document is printed in grayscale, colors are converted to their grayscale equivalents, which means that different colors are represented as different shades of gray. This printer can produce up to 256 shades of gray. Color images that are printed as monochrome print faster and are easier to reproduce on monochrome devices such as copiers and fax machines. When Print Color as Gray is on, ALL of your documents will print as grayscale until the setting is changed to off.

HP ColorSmart

Operating System Location in Printer Driver
Windows 9x, Windows Me Device Options tab, Printer Features
Windows NT 4.0 Advanced tab, Printer Features
Windows 2000, Windows XP Advanced tab, Printing Defaults, Advanced, Printer Features

Options: Automatic and Manual

HP ColorSmart technology is a set of defaults that automatically tune your color printer output. The HP ColorSmart defaults provide high-quality output when colored objects (text, graphics, or images) are printed.

Choose from the following HP ColorSmart options:

Automatic lets the printer driver optimize the color settings for text, graphics, and images (photos). Color is optimized based on the type of data being sent to the printer. This option automatically selects the appropriate color settings for the document you are printing. This provides you with screen-matched or WYSIWYG color output without any changes to the printer driver. The automatic setting is best for most applications.

Manual lets you adjust the color control independently for printed text, graphics, and images. The color options are vivid or screen match.

Click the Restore Defaults button at any time to return HP ColorSmart to its default setting of Automatic color selection.

CMYK Inks

Operating System Location in Printer Driver
Windows 9x, Windows Me Device Options tab, Printer Features
Windows NT 4.0 Advanced tab, Printer Features
Windows 2000, Windows XP Advanced tab, Printing Defaults, Advanced, Printer Features

Options: FAST, EURO, SWOP, TOYO

CMYK Inks is the type of color treatment used during printing.

FAST uses sRGB. There is no special color treatment. This is the fastest way to send data.

EURO (Eurostandard) is a color treatment used to match the equivalent 3M matchprint.

SWOP color treatment is used primarily for Web offset publications.

TOYO is a color ink standard used in Japan.

Manual Color Options for Text, Graphics, and Image

Operating System Location in Printer Driver
Windows 9x, Windows Me Device Options tab
Windows NT 4.0 Advanced tab, Printer Features
Windows 2000, Windows XP Advanced tab, Printing Defaults, Advanced, Printer Features

Options: Screen Match (sRGB), Vivid

The Text, Graphics, and Images options allow you to specify settings for the type of job you are printing. The color control setting is vivid and screen match.

Color Control (Vivid and Screen Match)

Color control is a Manual Color Option that controls the type of color produced by the printer.

The Vivid color option produces colors that are very bright and vivid. When you use Vivid color, your color output is brighter than the colors that appear on your screen.

The Screen Match color option provides the best match between screen and printer. It produces colors that are close to the colors you see on your screen. Screen Match can be useful when you are retouching photographs or when you have created colors that you wish to reproduce in your printed output. Note that factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room's lighting can affect the appearance of colors on your screen.

Text

In some applications, colored, filled, or rotated text is treated as a graphic or as a photo.

Graphics

Graphics include items such as bar graphs, pie charts, or tables.

Image

Images (photos) can be in the form of raster images, bitmaps, and device-independent bitmaps (DIBs). Some examples of photos are pictures from a CD-ROM, pictures taken by a digital camera, and images that were scanned by a desktop scanner.

Pages per Sheet

Operating System Location in Printer Driver
Windows 9x, Windows Me Paper tab, Layout
Windows NT 4.0 Advanced tab, Printer Features
Windows 2000, Windows XP Advanced tab, Printing Defaults, Layout tab

Options: 1, 2, and 4 pages per sheet; Windows NT 4.0/2000 also offers 6, 9, and 16 pages per sheet, with all NT 4.0/2000 settings in both portrait and landscape and rotated landscape orientation.

The Pages per Sheet option, sometimes called layout or n-up, specifies the number of pages to print on a single sheet of paper. The multiple pages appear decreased in size and arranged based on the number of pages printed on the sheet. The Pages per Sheet option does not work effectively with all page setup options. Some applications request a different resolution, page size, or paper source, or orientations for different pages of a document. Combining page setup options while using the Pages per Sheet option might produce unexpected print results.

Watermark Printing

Operating System Location in Printer Driver
Windows 9x, Windows Me Device Options tab
Windows NT 4.0 Advanced tab, Printer Features
Windows 2000, Windows XP Advanced tab, Printing Defaults, Advanced, Printer Features

The Watermark options allow you to specify that text be placed underneath (in the background) of an existing document or on top (in the foreground). For example, you may want to have large gray letters reading Draft or Confidential placed diagonally across the first page or all pages of a document. You can also specify the following options for the watermark.

Watermark/Overlay

Options: None, Watermark, Overlay

Specifies whether or not a watermark is printed. Overlay prints the watermark on top of any text or graphics, so that what appears beneath is not visible.

Watermark Page

Options: All Pages, First Page Only

The First Page Only option prints only on the first page of the current document.

Watermark

Options: Draft, Company Confidential, Company Proprietary, Company Private, Confidential, Copy, Copyright, File Copy, Final, For Internal Use Only, Preliminary, Proof, Review Copy, Sample, Top Secret, Urgent, Custom.

The options listed are the available words that can be printed as a watermark. To turn watermark printing off, click None. If watermark printing is turned off, then the following watermark features are ignored.

Watermark Font

Options: Courier Bold, Helvetica Bold, Times Bold

If you are printing a watermark, click on one of the three font types.

Watermark Size

Options: 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90

All option values are in points. The watermark size represents the point size of the watermark word printed.

Watermark Angle

Options: 90, 75, 60, 45, 30, 15, 0, -15, -30, -45, -60, -75, -90

All option values are in degrees. The watermark can be positioned on the page at an angle in 15-degree increments. With zero (0) as normal readable text, the positive angles will rotate the text counter clockwise up to 90 degrees (vertical). The negative angles will rotate the text clockwise up to 90 degrees (vertical).

Watermark Style

Options: Narrow Outline, Medium Outline, Wide Outline, Wide Halo Outline

The style of the watermark defines the line thickness of the watermark word.

Watermark Color

Options: Gray, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet

Sets the color of the watermark.

Watermark Intensity

Options: Darkest, Darker, Dark, Medium Dark, Medium, Medium Light, Light, Lighter, Lightest.
