Printer paper input trays

Rear paper input tray
The paper input tray located closest to the back of the printer can hold up to 125 sheets of 20 lb. paper or it can hold multiple envelopes.

Front (single-sheet) paper input tray

The single-sheet paper input tray should be used when feeding single pages or media such as envelopes. You can print the first page on different media than the rest using the single-sheet paper input tray. Note The printer will automatically (priority feed) print from the single-sheet paper input tray before printing from the paper input tray.

Printer paper guides

Both input trays have paper guides. Paper guides are used to ensure the paper is correctly fed into the printer and that the print is not skewed (crooked text on the page). When loading paper, adjust the paper guides to match the width of the paper being printed.

Printer components 5

Printer paper output paths

Paper output bin
The paper output bin is located on the front of the printer. Printed paper will be collected here in the correct sequence when the paperoutput lever is in the up position. Use the output bin when printing large, collated documents or when copying documents so that the original is separated from the copies.

Straight-through paper output path

The straight through paper output path is useful when printing envelopes, transparencies, heavy media, or anything that tends to curl when printed. Printed paper will stack in reverse order with the paper-output lever down.

Choosing paper and other media

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of print media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors, affecting printer performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality paper designed for laser printers. See Printer paper specifications for detailed paper and media specifications. Note Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities. Your paper supplier should understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide (HP part number 5021-8909). See Printer paper specifications.
q q

Maximum supported paper size: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.) Minimum supported paper size: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.)

Loading paper into the printer

Paper should be loaded with the top down and the side-to-be printed facing forward. Always adjust the paper guides to prevent jams and skewing. CAUTION Attempting to print on paper that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way may cause a jam to occur. See Printer paper specifications. Always remove all paper from the paper input tray and straighten the stack when new paper is added. This helps prevent multiple sheets of paper from feeding through the printer at one time and reduces paper jams. See the sticker which you placed on the printer while setting up the hardware.

Note

Specific types. . .

Loading paper into the printer 9

Turning the power off

Printers that require 100-127 volts of power must be unplugged to turn the power off. Printers that require 220-240 volts can be switched off (the switch is located on the left side of the power plug) or unplugged. Note To ensure safety when working inside the printer for any reason, it is best to unplug the printer.

Voltage conversions
HP LaserJet printers are manufactured to different specifications for different countries. Because of these differences, HP does not recommend transporting products sold within the United States to another country. In addition to the concerns about the differing power system voltages, the country of final destination may have different import and export restrictions, power frequencies, and regulatory requirements. Note The HP LaserJet family printers must be serviced by an authorized repair depot or reseller within the country where the printer was originally purchased. Because of the different specifications and warranty coverage limitations, Hewlett-Packard does not offer a conversion, or support the conversion, of U.S. version HP LaserJet family printers for foreign use. We advise those customers planning to transport equipment outside the United States to purchase the products in the country of final destination.

Changing print quality settings

Print quality settings affect such things as how light or dark the print on the page is and the style in which you would like graphics printed. You can change the settings in printer properties to accommodate the types of jobs you are printing. The possible settings are as follows:
q q q q q

Best Quality Faster Printing LaserJet III Compatibility Custom EconoMode (Save Toner)

These settings can be accessed on the Finishing tab under Print Quality settings in the printer properties. Note To change the print quality settings for all future print jobs, access the properties through the Start menu in your system tray. To change the print quality settings only for the current software application use, access the properties through the Print Setup menu in the application from which you are printing. See Printer properties (driver).

Print using EconoMode (save toner)

An excellent way to extend the life of your toner cartridge is by using EconoMode. EconoMode uses substantially less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, but is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. To enable EconoMode, access the printer Properties. On the Finishing tab under Print Quality, click EconoMode. Note To enable EconoMode for all future jobs, see Printer properties (driver).

HP toner cartridges
HP policy on non-HP toner cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new, refilled, or remanufactured. Since they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. Note Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from software, interfacing, parts, or supplies not supplied by HP .

Toner cartridge storage

Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2.5 years. The shelf life of a cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months. CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

Toner cartridge life expectancy

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, an HP LaserJet 1100 toner cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages. This assumes the print density is set to 3 and EconoMode is off. (These are the default settings.)

Recycling toner cartridges

To install a new HP toner cartridge, see Changing the toner cartridge or follow the instructions included in the toner cartridge box. Also, see the recycling information on the toner cartridge box and HP Cartridge Recycling Program information.

Saving toner
To save toner, select the EconoMode option in your printer properties settings. EconoMode (Save Toner) allows the printer to use less toner on each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce print quality. See Print using EconoMode (save toner). 34 Chapter 4 Managing the toner cartridge
EN

Redistributing toner
When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedure may allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge. Note If the scanner is attached, it may be necessary to move the printer to the edge of the work space before opening the printer door in order to get the full range of motion. 1 1 Open the printer door and remove the toner cartridge from the printer.

CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a sheet of paper. 2 2 Gently shake the toner cartridge from side-to-side to redistribute the toner.

CAUTION If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. 3 3 Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer and close the printer door.

If the print remains light, install a new toner cartridge. See Changing the toner cartridge.

See Recycling toner cartridges for recycling information. Remove the new toner cartridge from the packaging, and then gently shake it from side to side in order to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper. 4 3 Bend the tab on the right side of the cartridge to break it loose.

CAUTION If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. 5 4 5 Pull the tab until all the tape is removed from the cartridge. Insert the toner cartridge in the printer. Be certain that the toner is firmly in position, and then close the printer door.

Clearing printer paper jams

Occasionally, paper becomes jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include the following:
q

The paper input trays are loaded improperly or overfilled. See Loading paper into the printer. The paper output path is changed during rather than before a print job. Media that does not meet HP specifications is used. See Printer paper specifications.

Note

Always remove all paper from the paper input tray and straighten the stack when new paper is added. This helps prevent multiple sheets of paper from feeding through the printer at one time and reduces paper jams. See the sticker which you placed on the printer while setting up the hardware. You will be notified of a paper jam by an error in the software and the printer control panel lights. See Printer light patterns.

Typical paper jam locations

q q

Toner cartridge area: See Removing a jammed page. Paper input tray areas: If the page is still sticking out of the paper input tray, pull the page from the paper input tray until it is fully removed. If the page cannot be removed in this way, see Removing a jammed page. Paper output paths: If the page is sticking out of the paper output bin or path, pull it until it is fully removed. If the page cannot be removed in this way, see Removing a jammed page.

Environmental Product Stewardship Program

Protecting the Environment
Hewlett-Packard Company is committed to providing quality products in an environmentally sound manner. This HP LaserJet printer has been designed with several attributes to minimize impacts on our environment.

This HP LaserJet printer eliminates:

Ozone production The printer uses charging rollers in the electrophotographic process and therefore generates no appreciable ozone gas (O3).

This HP LaserJet printer design reduces:

Energy consumption Energy usage drops to as little as 6 W while in low-power (PowerSave) mode. Not only does this save natural resources, but it also saves money without affecting the high performance of this printer. This product qualifies for ENERGY STAR. ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program established to encourage the development of energy-efficient office products. ENERGY STAR is a U.S. registered service mark of the U.S. EPA.

As an ENERGY STAR partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has determined that this product meets ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency. Toner consumption EconoMode uses significantly less toner which may extend the life of the toner cartridge. Paper use Depending on the type of software program in use, you can request for a number of pages of your document to be printed on one page of paper. This N-up printing practice and the printers manual duplexing feature, which provides two-sided printing, can reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources.

Environmental Product Stewardship Program 83

The design of this HP LaserJet printer facilitates the recycling of:

Plastics Plastic parts have markings according to international standards that enhance the ability to identify plastics for recycling purposes at the end of the printers life. HP toner cartridges In many countries/regions, this products toner cartridge/drum can be returned to HP through the HP Planet Partners Toner Cartridge Recycling Program. This easy to use program is available in over 20 countries/regions. Multi-lingual program information and instructions are included in every new HP Toner Cartridge box.

HP Cartridge Recycling Program information

Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has collected more than 12 million used toner cartridges that otherwise may have been discarded in the worlds landfills. The HP LaserJet toner cartridges go to a collection center and then they are bulk shipped to our recycling partners who disassemble the cartridge parts for recycling. After a thorough quality inspection, minor parts such as nuts, screws, and clips are reclaimed for use in new cartridges. Remaining materials are separated and converted into raw materials for use by other industries to make a variety of useful products. Over 95% by weight of each returned cartridge is reclaimed for recycling. For more information in the U.S., call (1) (800) (3402445) or visit the HP LaserJet Supplies website at http:// www.ljsupplies.com/planetpartners/. Non-US customers can call the local HP Sales and Service Office for further information regarding the HP Planet Partners LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program. Paper This printer is suited for the use of recycled papers when the paper meets the guidelines outlined in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specifications Guide. See Accessories and ordering information for HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specifications Guide ordering information. This printer is suitable for the use of recycled paper according to DIN 19 309.

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 printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape during any phase of normal user operation. WARNING! Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified in this users guide may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.

Printer paper specifications

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. This printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality. The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this manual. Paper that does not meet these guidelines may cause the following problems:
q q q

Poor print quality Increased paper jams Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. HewlettPackard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or control their quality. It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this manual and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control. Before purchasing a large quantity of paper, make sure it meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide. (To order the guide, see Accessories and ordering information.) Always test paper before purchasing a large quantity. CAUTION Using paper outside HP specifications may cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HewlettPackard warranty or service agreements.

Supported paper sizes (printer)

q q

Maximum supported paper size: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.) Minimum supported paper size: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.)

90 Appendix B Paper specifications

EN

Guidelines for using paper

For best results, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper. Make sure the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper. Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.

Symptom
Poor print quality or toner adhesion. Problems with feeding. Dropouts, jamming, curl.

Problem with Paper

Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed; faulty paper lot. Stored improperly.

Solution
Try another kind of paper, between 100-250 Sheffield, 4-6% moisture content. Store paper flat in its moistureproof wrapping. Use lighter paper.

Increased gray background shading. Excessive curl. Problems with feeding.

Too heavy.

Too moist, wrong grain direction or short-grain construction. Cutouts or perforations.

Use long-grain paper. Print using the straightthrough ouput path. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Use good quality paper.

Jamming, damage to printer.

Problems with feeding.

Ragged edges.

Note

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 letterhead. The printer 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 the printer temperature (392 F or 200 C for 0.1 second).

EN

Guidelines for using paper 91

Labels
Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
q

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 392 F (200 C), the printers maximum temperature. Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams. Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) of curl in any direction. Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

Transparencies
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 392 F (200 C), the printers maximum temperature.

92 Appendix B Paper specifications

EN

Envelopes
Envelope construction
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
q

Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 28 lb (105 g/m2), or jamming may result. Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl and should not contain air. (Envelopes that trap air may cause problems.) Condition: Make sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Sizes: From 90 by 160 mm (3.5 by 6.3 in.) to 178 by 254 mm (7 by 10 in.).

Envelopes with double-side-seams

Double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below. Acceptable

Unacceptable

EN

Guidelines for using paper 93

Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer: 392 F (200 C). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.

Envelope storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope may wrinkle during printing.

94 Appendix B Paper specifications

EN

Card stock and heavy media

Many types of card stock can be printed from the paper input tray, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer. For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 42 lb (157 g/m2). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear. Note Printing on heavier paper may be possible if the tray is not filled to capacity, and paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield is used.

Card stock construction

q

Smoothness: 36-42 lb (135-157 g/m2) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield. 16-36 lb (60-135 g/m2) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-250 Sheffield. Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 in.) of curl. Condition: Make sure card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Sizes: Use only card stock within the following size ranges: Minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.) Maximum: 312 by 470 mm (12.28 by 18.5 in.)

Card stock guidelines

q q

If cards curl or jam, print using the straight-through output path. Set margins at least 2 mm (0.08 inch) away from the edges of the paper.
