HP policy on non-HP supplies

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

NOTE: For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or a refilled toner cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or refilled toner cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the product for the particular failure or damage.

HP anticounterfeit Web site

Go to www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit when you install an HP toner cartridge and the control-panel message says the cartridge is non-HP. HP will help determine if the cartridge is genuine and take steps to resolve the problem.

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

The supplies status page indicates that a non-HP supply is installed.
• You are experiencing a high number of problems with the toner cartridge.
- The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the packaging differs from HP packaging).

Print when a toner cartridge is at estimated end of life

Black Low: The product indicates when a toner cartridge level is low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now.

Black Very Low: The product indicates when the toner cartridge level is very low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.

Once an HP toner cartridge has reached "very low", HP's Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended.

You can change the way the product reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to re-establish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.

Enable or disable the At Very Low settings

You can enable or disable the default settings at any time, and you do not have to re-enable them when you install a new toner cartridge.

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.

2. Open the following menus:

3. System Setup
   • Supply Settings

4. Black Cartridge

5. Very Low Setting

6. Select one of the following options:

7. Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the toner cartridge is very low, but to continue printing.

8. Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) until you replace the toner cartridge.
9. Select the Prompt option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) and prompt you to replace the toner cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and continue printing. A customer configurable option on this product is "Prompt to Remind Me in 100 pages, 200 pages, 300 pages, 400 pages, or never." This option is provided as a customer convenience and is not an indication these pages will have acceptable print quality.

When the product is set to the Stop option, there is some risk that faxes will not print after the new cartridge is installed if your product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while stopped.

When the product is set to the Prompt option, there is some risk that faxes will not print after the new cartridge is installed if your product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while the product is waiting for the prompt to be acknowledged.

Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP's Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended. All print defects or cartridge failures incurred when an HP toner cartridge is used in Continue at very low mode will not be considered to be defects in materials or workmanship in the toner cartridge under the HP Toner Cartridge Warranty Statement.

Color printing

• Use the HP EasyColor option
• Change the color options (Windows)
• Change the color theme for a print job (Windows)
• Change the color options (Mac OS X)
• Manual color options
- Match colors

Use the HP EasyColor option

If you are using the HP PCL 6 print 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. The 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.

If you are using the HP Postscript print driver for Mac, the HP EasyColor technology scans all documents and automatically adjusts all photographic images with the same improved photographic results.

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.

The HP EasyColor option is enabled by default in both the HP PCL 6 print driver and the HP Mac Postscript print driver, so you do not need to make manual color adjustments. To disable the option so you can manually adjust the color settings, open the Color tab in the Windows driver or the Color/Quality Options tab in the Mac driver, and then click the HP EasyColor check box to clear it.

7. Vivid (sRGB): The product increases the color saturation in the midtones. Use this theme when printing business graphics.
8. Photo (sRGB): The product interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital mini lab. The product renders deeper, more saturated colors differently than with the Default (sRBG) theme. Use this theme when printing photos.
9. Photo (Adobe RGB 1998): Use this theme with printing digital photos that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. Turn off color management in the software program when using this theme.
   • None: No color theme is used.

Manual color options

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

Setting description Setting options
Edge Control	Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
The Edge Control setting determines the rendering of edges. 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.	Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on.Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on.
Halftone	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 important.
Halftone options affect color output clarity and resolution.	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 small details are important.
Neutral Grays	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.
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs.	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.

Match colors

The process of matching product output color to a 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 the ability to match printed colors to those on a 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
Print drivers
• Computer operating system
• Monitors and monitor settings
• Video cards and drivers
• Operating environment (humidity for example)

For most situations, the best method for matching colors on the screen to the printed page is to print sRGB colors.

While you are in a TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant program, you can gain access to 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 your TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software program.

For Mac OS X, scan by using the Readiris OCR program that is available on the product CD.

Scan from a TWAIN-compliant program (Windows)

Generally, a software program is TWAIN-compliant if it has a command such as Acquire, File Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether the program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or documentation.

When scanning from a TWAIN-compliant program, the HP Scan software program might start automatically. If the HP Scan program starts, you can make changes while previewing the image. If the program does not start automatically, the image goes to the TWAIN-compliant program immediately.

Start the scan from within the TWAIN-compliant program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

Scan from a WIA-compliant program (Windows)

WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program. WIA uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of the HP Scan software.

Generally, a software program is WIA-compliant 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-compliant, see the software program Help or documentation.

Start the scan from within the WIA-compliant program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

-Or-

From the Windows control panel, in the Cameras and Scanner folder (located inside the Hardware and Sound folder for Windows Vista and Windows 7), double-click the product icon. This opens the standard Microsoft WIA Wizard, which enables you to scan to a file.

Scan by using optical character recognition (OCR) software

The Readiris OCR program is included on a separate CD that shipped with the product. To use the Readiris program, install it from the appropriate software CD, and then follow the instructions in the online Help.

Configure receive fax settings

• Set fax forwarding
• Set the answer mode
  • Block or unblock fax numbers
  • Set the number of rings-to-answer
• Set distinctive ring
  • Use autoreduction for incoming faxes
  • Set fax reprint settings
  • Set the fax sounds volume
  • Set stamp-received faxes
  • Set the private receive feature

Set fax forwarding

You can set your product to forward incoming faxes to another fax number. When the fax arrives at your product, it is stored in the memory. The product then dials the fax number that you have specified and sends the fax. If the product cannot forward a fax because of an error (for example, the number is busy) and repeated redial attempts are unsuccessful, your product prints the fax.

If the product runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it terminates the incoming fax and only forwards the pages and partial pages that have been stored in the memory.

When it is using the fax-forwarding feature, the product (rather than the computer) must be receiving the faxes, and the answer mode must be set to Automatic.

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Fax button.
2. Touch the Fax Menu button.
3. Touch the Receive Options button.
4. Touch the Forward Fax button, and touch the On button.
5. Use the keypad to enter the fax-forwarding number, and then touch the OK button.

Set the answer mode

Depending on the situation, set the product answer mode to Automatic, TAM, Fax/Tel, or Manual. The factory-set default is Automatic.

• Automatic: The product answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones.

• TAM: The product does not automatically answer the call. Instead, it waits until it detects the fax tone.

• Fax/Tel: The product answers incoming calls immediately. If it detects the fax tone, it processes the call as a fax. If it does not detect the fax tone, it creates an audible ring to alert you to answer the incoming voice call.

• Manual: The product never answers calls without intervention. You must start the fax-receiving process yourself, either by touching the Start Fax button on the control panel or by picking up a telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3.

To set or change the answer mode, complete the following steps:

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Basic Setup menu.
4. Scroll to and touch the Answer Mode button, and then touch the name of the option that you want to use.

Block or unblock fax numbers

If you do not want to receive faxes from specific people or businesses, you can block as many as 30 fax numbers by using the control panel. When you block a fax number and someone from that number sends you a fax, the control-panel display indicates that the number is blocked, the fax does not print, and the fax is not saved in memory. Faxes from blocked fax numbers appear in the fax activity log with a "discarded" designation. You can unblock blocked fax numbers individually or all at one time.

NOTE: The sender of a blocked fax is not notified that the fax failed.

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Fax button.
2. Touch the Fax Menu button.
3. Touch the Receive Options button.
4. Touch the Block Junk Faxes button.
5. Touch the Add Number button.
6. Use the keypad to enter the fax number that you want to block, and then touch the OK button.

Set the number of rings-to-answer

When the answer mode is set to Automatic, the product rings-to-answer setting determines the number of times the telephone rings before the product answers an incoming call.

If the product is connected to a line that receives both fax and voice calls (a shared line) and that also uses an answering machine, you might need to adjust the rings-to-answer setting. The number of rings-to-answer for the product must be greater than the rings-to-answer on the answering machine. This allows the answering machine to answer the incoming call and record a message if it is a voice call. When the answering machine answers the call, the product listens to the call and automatically answers it if it detects fax tones.

The default setting for rings-to-answer is five for the U.S. and Canada, and two for other countries/regions.

Use the following table to determine the number of rings-to-answer to use.

Type of telephone line Recommended rings-to-answer setting
Dedicated fax line (receiving only fax calls) Set to a number of rings within the range shown on the control-panel display. (The minimum and maximum number of rings allowed varies by country/region.)
One line with two separate numbers and a ring-pattern service	One or two rings. (If you have an answering machine or computer voicemail for the other telephone number, make sure that the product is set to a greater number of rings than the answering system. Also, use the distinctive-ring feature to differentiate between voice and fax calls.)
Shared line (receiving both fax and voice calls) with only an attached telephone	Five rings or more.
Shared line (receiving both fax and voice calls) with an attached answering machine or computer voicemail	Two rings more than the answering machine or computer voicemail.

To set or change the number of rings-to-answer, use the following steps:

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Basic Setup menu.
4. Touch the Rings to Answer button.
5. Use the keypad to enter the number of rings, and then touch the OK button.

Set distinctive ring

Ring-pattern or distinctive-ring service is available through some local telephone companies. The service provides a way to have more than one telephone number on a single line. Each telephone number has a unique ring pattern, so that you can answer voice calls and the product can answer fax calls.

If you subscribe to a ring-pattern service with a telephone company, you must set the product to answer the correct ring pattern. Not all countries/regions support unique ring patterns. Contact the telephone company to determine if this service is available in your country/region.

NOTE: If you do not have ring-pattern service and you change the ring-pattern settings to something other than the default, All Rings, the product might not be able to receive faxes.

The settings are as follows:

• All Rings: The product answers any calls that come through the telephone line.
• Single: The product answers any calls that produce a single-ring pattern.
• Double: The product answers any calls that produce a double-ring pattern.

• Triple: The product answers any calls that produce a triple-ring pattern.
  • Double and Triple: The product answers any calls that produce a double-ring or triple-ring pattern.

To change ring patterns for call answering, complete the following steps:

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Basic Setup menu.
4. Touch the Distinctive Ring button, and then touch the name of an option.

Use autoreduction for incoming faxes

If the fit-to-page option is turned on, the product automatically reduces long faxes up to 75% to fit the information on the default paper size (for example, the fax is reduced from legal to letter size).

If the fit-to-page option is turned off, long faxes print at full size on multiple pages. The factory-set default for incoming fax autoreduction is On.

If you have the Stamp Faxes option turned on, you might also want to turn on autoreduction. This reduces the size of the incoming faxes slightly, and prevents the page-stamp from forcing a fax onto two pages.

NOTE: Make sure that the default paper size setting matches the size of the paper in the tray.

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup 🔒 button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Advanced Setup menu.

Set stamp-received faxes

The product prints the sender identification information at the top of each received fax. You can also stamp the incoming fax with your own header information to confirm the date and time that the fax was received. The factory-set default for stamp-received faxes is Off.

NOTE: Turning on the stamp-received setting might increase the page size and cause the product to print a second page.

NOTE: This option applies only to received faxes that the product prints.

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup 🔒 button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Advanced Setup menu.
4. Scroll to and touch the Stamp Faxes button, and then touch the On button.

2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.

3. Touch the Advanced Setup menu.

4. Scroll to and touch the Private Receive button, and then touch the On button.

Use fax on a DSL, PBX, or ISDN system

HP products are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. They are not designed to work on DSL, PBX, ISDN lines, or VoIP services, but they work with the proper setup and equipment.

NOTE: HP recommends discussing DSL, PBX, ISDN, and VoIP setup options with the service provider.

The HP LaserJet product is an analog device that is not compatible with all digital phone environments (unless a digital-to-analog converter is used). HP does not guarantee that the product will be compatible with digital environments or digital-to-analog converters.

DSL

A digital subscriber line (DSL) uses digital technology over standard copper telephone wires. This product is not directly compatible with those digital signals. However, if the configuration is specified during DSL setup, the signal can be separated so that some of the bandwidth is used to transmit an analog signal (for voice and fax) while the remaining bandwidth is used to transmit digital data.

NOTE: Not all faxes are compatible with DSL services. HP does not guarantee that the product will be compatible with all DSL service lines or providers.

A typical DSL modem employs a filter to separate the higher frequency DSL modem communication from lower frequency analog phone and fax modem communication. It is often necessary to use a filter with analog phones and analog fax products that are connected to a telephone line used by a DSL modem. The DSL service provider usually provides this filter. Contact the DSL provider for more information or for assistance.

PBX

The product is an analog device that is not compatible in all digital phone environments. Digital-to-analog filters or converters may be needed for faxing functionality. If faxing issues occur in a PBX environment, it might be necessary to contact the PBX provider for assistance. HP does not guarantee that the product will be compatible with digital environments or digital-to-analog converters.

Contact the PBX provider for more information and for assistance.

ISDN

The product is an analog device that is not compatible in all digital phone environments. Digital-to-analog filters or converters may be needed for faxing functionality. If faxing issues occur in an ISDN environment, it might be necessary to contact the ISDN provider for assistance. HP does not guarantee that the product will be compatible with ISDN digital environments or digital-to-analog converters.

Use fax on a VoIP service

Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services are often not compatible with fax machines unless the provider explicitly states that it supports fax over IP services.

If the product experiences problems getting a fax to work on a VoIP network, verify that all cables and settings are correct. Decreasing the fax-speed setting might allow the product to send a fax over a VoIP network.

If the VoIP provider offers a "Pass through" mode for the connection, that will offer better fax performance on VoIP. Also if the provider has "comfort noise" added to the line, fax performance can be enhanced if this feature is not enabled.

If faxing problems continue, contact the VoIP provider.

Fax memory contents are retained when there is a loss of power

The flash memory protects against data loss when a power failure occurs. Other fax devices store fax pages in either normal RAM or short-term RAM. Normal RAM immediately loses data when power is

lost, while short-term RAM loses data about 60 minutes after a power failure occurs. Flash memory can maintain its data for years without power applied.

Security issues when connecting internal networks to public phone lines

The product can send and receive fax data over telephone lines that conform to public switch telephone network (PSTN) standards. The secure fax protocols make it impossible for computer viruses to be transferred from the telephone line to a computer or network.

The following product features prevent virus transmission:

- No direct connection exists between the fax line and any devices that are connected to the USB or Ethernet ports.

• The internal firmware cannot be modified through the fax connection.

- All fax communications go through the fax subsystem, which does not use Internet data-exchange protocols.

• Number of pages printed

Use the following procedure to print the supplies status page:

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Supplies button.
2. Touch the Report button to print the supplies status page.

Calibrate the product to align the colors

If the printed output has colored shadows, blurry graphics, or areas that have poor color, you might need to calibrate the product to align the colors. Print the diagnostics page from the Reports menu on the control panel to check the color alignment. If the blocks of color on that page are not aligned with each other, you need to calibrate the product.

1. On the product control panel, open the System Setup menu.
2. Open the Print Quality menu, and select the Color Calibration item.
3. Select the Calibrate Now option.

Print a cleaning page

1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup 🔒 button.
2. Touch the Service menu.
3. Touch the Cleaning Page button.
4. Load plain letter or A4 paper when you are prompted.
5. Touch the OK button to begin the cleaning process.

2

3

4

Section Toner cartridge
1 Yellow
2 Cyan

Section Toner cartridge
3	B	l	a	c	k
4	M	a	g	e	n	t	a

• If dots or streaks appear in only one of the groups, replace the toner cartridge that correlates with that group.
• If dots appear in more than one group, print a cleaning page. If this does not solve the problem, determine if the dots are always the same color; for example, if magenta dots appear in all five color bands. If the dots are all the same color, replace that toner cartridge.
• If streaks appear in multiple color bands, contact HP. A component other than the toner cartridge is probably causing the problem.

Inspect the toner cartridge for damage

1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product, and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.

2. Check the memory chip for damage.

3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.

1. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.
2. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.

Check the paper and printing environment

Use paper that meets HP specifications

Use different paper if you are having any of the following problems:

The printing is too light or seems faded in areas.
Specks of toner are on the printed pages.
- Toner is smearing on the printed pages.
• Printed characters seem misformed.
• Printed pages are curled.

Always use a paper type and weight that this product supports. In addition, follow these guidelines when selecting paper:

• Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
  • Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
• Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in inkjet printers.
  • Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

Check the product environment

Verify that the product is operating within the environmental specifications listed in the product Warranty and Legal Guide.

Check the EconoMode settings

HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.
