Configure trays

The product automatically prompts you to configure a tray for type and size in the following situations:

  • When you load paper into the tray
  • When you specify a particular tray or media type for a print job through the printer driver or a software program and the tray is not configured to match the print-job's settings

NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1, and it is configured for the ANY SIZE and ANY TYPE settings. In this situation, if the print job does not specify a tray, the product prints from Tray 1, even if the paper size and type settings in the print job do not match the paper loaded in Tray 1.

Configure a tray when loading paper

  1. Load paper in the tray. Close the tray if you are using Tray 2, 3, 4, or 5.
  2. The tray configuration message appears.
  3. Press the back arrow ↩ to accept the size and type, or press the OK button to choose a different paper size or paper type.
  4. To modify the tray size configuration, press the down arrow ▼ to highlight the correct size, and then press the OK button.
  5. To modify the tray type configuration, press the down arrow ▼ to highlight the correct type, and then press the OK button.

Configure a tray to match print job settings

  1. In the software program, specify the source tray, the paper size, and the paper type.
  2. Send the job to the product.
    If the tray needs to be configured, the LOAD TRAY [TYPE] [SIZE] message appears.
  3. Load the tray with the specified type and size of paper, and then close the tray.
  4. When the TRAY SIZE = message appears, press the OK button to confirm the size.
  5. When the TRAY TYPE= message appears, press the OK button to confirm the type and continue with the job.

Configure a tray by using the Paper Handling menu

You can also configure the trays for type and size without a prompt from the product.

  1. Press the Home button 🔒.

  2. Press the down arrow ▼ to highlight the PAPER HANDLING menu, and then press the OK button.

  3. Press the down arrow ▼ to highlight the size or type setting for the desired tray, and then press the OK button.

  4. Press the up arrow ▲ or the down arrow ▼ to highlight the size or type. If you select a custom size, select the unit of measure, and then set the X dimension and the Y dimension.

  5. Press the OK button to save your selection.

  6. Press the Home button 📋 to exit the menus.

Automatic paper sensing (auto-sense mode)

The automatic media type sensor functions when that tray is configured to the ANY TYPE or plain type setting. It also functions when the PRINT MODE setting for that tray is set to the AUTO SENSE MODE option.

After it has picked up paper from the tray, the product can detect overhead transparencies, paper weight, and gloss level.

For more control, a specific type must be selected in the job or configured in a tray.

Auto-sense settings

Full sensing (Tray 1 only)For each sheet of paper that it picks up from the tray, the product detects light paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and transparencies.
Expanded sensingFor the first few sheets of paper that it picks up from the tray, the product detects light paper, plain paper, heavy paper, glossy paper, tough paper, and transparencies. The product assumes the rest of the pages are of the same type.
Transparency only The product distinguishes between transparencies and non-transparencies.

For more information about setting these options, see Print Quality menu on page 23.

Select the paper by source, type, or size

In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull media when you send a print job. Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print, or Print Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. Unless you change these settings, the product automatically selects a tray using the default settings.

Source

To print by source, select a specific tray in the printer driver for the product to pull from. If you select a tray that is configured for a type or size that does not match your print job, the product prompts you to load the tray with the type or size of paper for your print job before printing it. When you load the tray, the product begins printing.

Type and Size

  • Printing by type or size causes the product to pull from the tray that is loaded with the correct type and size of paper.
  • Selecting paper by type rather than source helps protect special paper from accidental use.
  • Using the wrong setting might result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by type for special print media, such as labels or transparencies.
    • Print by type or size for envelopes, if possible.

  • 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 software program.

  • If you often print on a certain type or size of paper, configure a tray for that type or size. Then, when you select that type or size as you print a job, the product automatically pulls paper from the tray that is configured for that type or size.

Use job storage features with Windows

The following job-storage modes are available for print jobs:

Proof and Hold: This feature provides a quick way to print and proof one copy of a job and then print more copies.
- Personal Job: When you send a job to the product, the job does not print until you request it at the product control panel. If you assign a personal identification number (PIN) to the job, you must provide the required PIN at the control panel.
- Quick Copy: If the optional hard disk is installed on the product, you can print the requested number of copies of a job and then store a copy of the job on the optional hard disk. Storing the job allows you to print additional copies of the job later.
- Stored Job: If the optional hard disk is installed on the product, you can store a job such as a personnel form, time sheet, or calendar on the product and allow other users to print the job at any time. Stored jobs also can be protected by a PIN.

△ CAUTION: If you turn off the product, all Quick Copy, Proof and Hold, and Personal Job types of stored jobs are deleted. To permanently store the job and prevent the product from deleting it when space is needed for something else, select the Stored Job option in the driver.

  • Match colors
    • Advanced color use

Adjust color

Manage color by changing the settings on the Color tab (Windows) or the Color Options or Color/Quality Options menu (Mac) in the printer driver.

Automatic

Setting color options to the default or Automatic setting typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents. The default or Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge enhancements for each element in a document. For more information, see the printer driver online Help.

Select the Print in Grayscale option (Windows) or the Print Color as Gray option (Mac) from the printer driver to print a color document in black and white. This option is useful for printing color documents that will be photocopied or faxed. The product uses the monochrome mode, which reduces use of the color cartridges.

Manual color adjustment

Manually set the color options to adjust the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge enhancements for text, graphics, and photographs. To open the manual color adjustment options, follow one of these procedures:

  • Windows: From the Color tab, click the HP EasyColor check box to clear it, click the Manual button, and then click the Settings button.
    • Mac: Open the Advanced menu, or select the appropriate tab.

Manual color options

Use manual color options to adjust the Neutral Grays, Halftone, and Edge Control options for text, graphics, and photographs.

Table 8-1 Manual color options

Setting description Setting options
HalftoneHalftone options affect the color output resolution and clarity.Smooth provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select this option when uniform and smooth area fills are the top priority.Detail 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. Select this option when sharp edges and details are the top priority.
Neutral GraysThe Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs.Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale viewgraphs.4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black.
Edge ControlThe Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly.Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on.Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on.Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.

Use the HP EasyColor option for Windows

If you are using the HP PCL 6 printer driver for Windows, the HP EasyColor technology automatically improves mixed-content documents that are printed from Microsoft Office programs. This technology scans documents and automatically adjusts photographic images in .JPEG or .PNG format.

HP EasyColor technology enhances the entire image at one time, rather than dividing it into several pieces, which results in improved color consistency, sharper details, and faster printing.

In the following example, the images on the left were created without using the HP EasyColor option. The images on the right show the enhancements that result from using the HP EasyColor option.

Match colors

The process of matching product 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:

Paper
• 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 programs
Printer drivers
• Computer operating system
• Monitors and monitor settings
• 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 product is to print sRGB colors.

Sample book color matching

The process for matching product 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 product. 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 product menu. If you cannot identify the process standard, use SWOP ink emulation.

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 software program to describe the object you wish to match. Colors may

vary depending on paper type and the software program used. For more details on how to use the color samples, go to www.hp.com/support/cljcp4025 or www.hp.com/support/cljcp4525.

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

  1. Press the Home button 📋.

  2. Press the down arrow ▼ to highlight the INFORMATION menu, and press the OK button.

  3. Press the down arrow ▼ to highlight either the PRINT RGB SAMPLES or the PRINT CMYK SAMPLES option, and press the OK button.

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 www.hp.com/go/cljcp4025_software or www.hp.com/go/cljcp4525_software for details on how to use PANTONE Colors with this product.

NOTE: PANTONE Colors generated might not match PANTONE-identified standards. Consult current PANTONE Publications for accurate color.

Advanced color use

The product provides automatic color features that generate excellent color results. Carefully designed and tested color tables provide smooth, accurate color rendition of all printable colors.

The product also provides sophisticated tools for the experienced professional.

HP ColorSphere toner

HP designs the print system (printer, print cartridges, toner, and paper) to work together to optimize print quality, product reliability, and user productivity. Original HP print cartridges contain HP ColorSphere toner that is specifically matched to your printer so that it will produce a wide range of brilliant colors. This helps you create professional looking documents that contain sharp, clear text and graphics and realistic printed photos.

HP ColorSphere toner produces print-quality consistency and intensity you can depend on across a wide range of papers. You can produce documents that help you make the right impression. Plus, HP professional-quality everyday and specialty papers (including a wide variety of HP media types and weights) are designed for the way you work.

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.

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, select the appropriate paper type from the control panel menu or from the printer driver.

Color options

Color options automatically provide optimal color output. These options use object tagging, which provides optimal color and halftone settings for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer driver determines which objects appear on a page and uses halftone and color settings that provide the best print quality for each object.

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

Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)

Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft developed as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices (printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems,

the World Wide Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the typical Windows monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.

NOTE: Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room lighting can affect the appearance of colors on your screen. For more information, see Match colors on page 143.

The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop ^® , CorelDRAW ^® , Microsoft Office, and many other programs use sRGB to communicate color. Because it is the default color space in Microsoft operating systems, sRGB has been adopted broadly. When programs and devices use sRGB to exchange color information, typical users experience greatly improved color matching.

The sRGB standard improves your ability to match colors between the product, the computer monitor, and other input devices automatically, and eliminates the need to become a color expert.

Manage supplies and accessories

When a print cartridge reaches the end of its estimated useful life, the control panel displays a CARTRIDGE VERY LOW message. You do not need to replace the supply at this time unless print quality is no longer acceptable. When the supply has reached this condition, the HP premium protection warranty for that supply has ended. The product does not supply more prompts after this message appears.

You can configure the product to stop when the CARTRIDGE VERY LOW message displays. The print cartridge might still be able to produce acceptable print quality. When the product stops, you can continue printing either by replacing the supply or by using the AT VERY LOW setting in the MANAGE SUPPLIES menu to reconfigure the product to continue printing. For more information, see Manage supplies menu on page 16.

The cartridge-life remaining is an approximation only, and it varies depending on the types of documents you print and other factors.

Manage print cartridges

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.

HP policy on non-HP print cartridges

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP print cartridges, either new or remanufactured.

NOTE: Any damage caused by a non-HP print cartridge is not covered under the HP warranty and service agreements.

To install a new HP print cartridge, see Replace print cartridges on page 164. To recycle the used cartridge, follow the instructions included with the new cartridge. For more information about recycling, see Return and recycling instructions on page 252.

The supplies status page indicates that a non-HP supply is installed.
- 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).

Recycle supplies

Information about recycling used print cartridges is on the print-cartridge box. See Return and recycling instructions on page 252.

Cartridge memory tag

The HP print cartridges used with this product contain a memory tag that assists in product operation.

In addition, this memory tag collects a limited set of information about product usage, which might include the following information:

• The date when the print cartridge was first installed
The date when the print cartridge was last used
• The number of pages printed using the print cartridge
The page coverage
• The printing modes used
• Any printing errors that might have occurred
The product model

This information helps HP design future products to meet customers' printing needs.

The data collected from the print cartridge memory tag does not contain information that can be used to identify a customer or the specific product.

HP collects a sampling of the memory tags from print cartridges that are returned to HP's free return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/recycle). The memory tags from this sampling are read and studied to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling this print cartridge might also have access to this data.

Any third-party company that possesses the print cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the memory tag. If you prefer to not allow access to this information, you can render the tag inoperable. However, after you render the memory tag inoperable, the memory tag cannot be used in an HP product.

Solve general problems

If the product is not responding correctly, complete the steps in the following checklist, in order. If the product does not pass a step, follow the corresponding troubleshooting suggestions. If a step resolves the problem, you can stop without performing the other steps on the checklist.

Troubleshooting checklist

  1. Make sure the product Ready light is on. If no lights are on, complete these steps:

a. Check the power-cable connections.
b. Check that the power is turned on.
c. Make sure that the line voltage is correct for the product power configuration. (See the label that is on the back of the product for voltage requirements.) If you are using a power strip and its voltage is not within specifications, plug the product directly into the wall. If it is already plugged into the wall, try a different outlet.
d. If none of these measures restores power, contact HP Customer Care.

  1. Check the cabling.

a. Check the cable connection between the product and the computer or network port. Make sure that the connection is secure.
b. Make sure that the cable itself is not faulty by using a different cable, if possible.
c. Check the network connection.

  1. Check to see if any messages appear on the control-panel display. If any error messages appear, see Control-panel messages on page 183.
  2. Ensure that the paper that you are using meets specifications.
  3. Print a configuration page. See Print information pages on page 148. If the product is connected to a network, an HP Jetdirect page also prints.

a. If the pages do not print, check that at least one tray contains paper.
b. If the page jams in the product, see Clear jams on page 206.

  1. If the configuration page prints, check the following items:

a. If the page does not print correctly, the problem is with the product hardware. Contact HP Customer Care.

Interpret control-panel messages

Control-panel message types

Four types of control-panel messages can indicate the status of or problems with the product.

Message type Description
Status messagesStatus messages reflect the current state of the product. They inform you of normal product operation and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the product changes. Whenever the product is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message Ready appears if the product is online.
Warning messagesWarning messages inform you of data and print errors. These messages typically alternate with the Ready or status messages and remain until OK is pressed. Some warning messages are clearable. If CLEARABLE WARNINGS is set to JOB on the product CONFIGURE DEVICE menu, the next print job clears these messages.
Error messagesError messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding paper or clearing a jam.Some error messages are auto-continuable. If AUTO-CONTINUE is set on the menus, the product will continue normal operation after an auto-continuable error message appears for 10 seconds.NOTE:Pressing any button during the 10-second auto-continuable error message overrides the auto-continue feature, and the button function takes precedence. For example, pressing the stop button × pauses printing and offers the option to cancel the print job.
Critical-error messagesCritical error messages inform you of a product failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by turning the product off and then on. These messages are not affected by the AUTO-CONTINUE setting. If a critical error persists, service is required.

Some print quality problems arise from use of inappropriate paper.

• Use paper that meets HP paper specifications.
The surface of the paper is too rough. Use paper that meets HP paper specifications.
- The printer driver setting or paper tray setting might be incorrect. Be sure that you have configured the paper tray at the product control panel and have also 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.
- The transparencies you are using are not designed for proper toner adhesion. Use only transparencies designed for HP Color LaserJet products.
- 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 product.
- Several optimize print modes can be used to address print quality issues. See Print Quality menu on page 23.

Customer self-repair warranty service

HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period, HP identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts: 1) Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service. 2) Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for Customer Self Repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, this may be done at no additional charge under the type of warranty service designated for your product.

Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery. Same-day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help you over the phone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.
