Setting the paper size for a tray
Use these guidelines to set the paper size for a tray.
l
When you load any size print media in Tray 1, you must use the control panel to configure the product to
recognize the size loaded.
l
When you load standard size paper (such as A4 or Letter) in Tray 2, Tray 3, or Tray 4, the product
automatically detects the size loaded and shows the size on the control panel. You do not need to set the
size manually.
l
When you load a custom (non-standard) size in Tray 2, Tray 3, or Tray 4, use the control panel to configure
the product to recognize the size loaded.
When standard- or custom-size paper is loaded into Tray 1, the product prints at a slower speed if a size is not
specified at the control panel. When custom-size paper is loaded in Tray 2, Tray 3, or Tray 4, the product prints
at normal speed for that size because it picks up paper based on the size defined at the control panel.

Sending basics
The product offers black and white and color digital sending capabilities. Using the control panel, you can
scan black and white or color documents and send them to an e-mail address as an e-mail attachment. To use
digital sending, the product must be connected to a local area network (LAN) (see the start guide for more
information on connecting to a LAN).
Introduction to digital sending
Digital sending offers these advantages:
l
l
l
l
sends mail to multiple e-mail addresses simultaneously, saving time and delivery costs.
ensures privacy by sending information to a personal inbox.
delivers files at near-original quality in black and white or in color.
sends files in JPEG, PDF, TIFF, and MTIFF formats, which can be manipulated by the recipient.
The product connects directly to your LAN, so that you can send digital documents without a dedicated
computer. By using HP Smart Compression technology, digital sending keeps file sizes small, minimizing the
impact on your network. Documents arrive in near-original quality, and can then be printed, stored, or
forwarded like any other e-mail message.
Loading documents
You can scan a document using either the glass or the ADF. The glass and ADF can accommodate originals as
large as Ledger- and A3-size. Smaller originals, books, manuals, receipts, irregular and worn documents,
stapled documents, previously folded documents, and photographs should be scanned using the glass.
Multiple-page documents can be scanned easily using the ADF.

Modifying copy settings for the current job
You can modify your copies by adjusting the contrast, reducing or enlarging, or enhancing.
Adjusting the copy contrast
You can adjust the contrast by touching the arrows on the Contrast Control bar. The slider moves to the
lighter or darker area of the Contrast Control bar.
Reducing or enlarging copies
The product has an autoscaling feature. If there is a difference between original paper size and copy paper
size, the product can autodetect a size mismatch between the original page size and the copy page size. The
original image is reduced or enlarged automatically to match the copy paper size. You can override
autoscaling using the reduce and enlarge feature.
The product can reduce copies to as little as 25 percent of the original size and enlarge copies to as much as
400 percent of the original (200 percent using the ADF).
To reduce or enlarge your copies, touch the arrows on the Reduce/Enlarge button until you obtain the desired
reduction or enlargement. The scale percentage box in the center of the Reduce/Enlarge button indicates the
percentage of reduction or enlargement.
Enhancing copies
You can enhance the quality of your document by touching Enhance to gain access to the enhancement
screen.
Background Removal
If you copy a document that is printed on colored paper, or if you use two-sided copying, you can enhance
your copy quality by removing the background that might cause your copy to streak or blur. Touch the
Enhance button to gain access to the embedded Background Removal screen. Adjust the amount of
background removal by touching the arrows on the Background Removal Control. The slider moves to the

Making booklets
You can gain access to the booklet-printing feature through some programs, such as desktop publishing
programs. Refer to the user guide that came with your program for information on making booklets.
If you are using a program that does not support booklet making, you can create booklets using your HP
drivers.
Note
HP recommends that you use your program to prepare and preview your document for printing, then
use your HP driver to print and saddle stitch your booklet.
There are three main steps to creating a booklet from your driver:
l
Preparing your booklet: Arrange the pages on a sheet (booklet imposition) to create a booklet. You can
impose your document from your program or use the booklet-printing feature in your HP driver. (See
“PRINTING BOOKLETS” on page 49.)
l
Adding a cover: Add a cover to your booklet by selecting a different first page using a different paper type.
You can also add a cover of the same paper type as your booklet. Booklet covers must be the same size
as the rest of the sheets. However, the covers may be a different weight from the rest of the booklet. (See
“ADDING A COVER TO A BOOKLET” on page 50.)
l
Saddle stitching: Paper must be fed into the product short edge first. The finisher staples the center of
your booklet (saddle stitching). If your booklet is only one sheet of paper, the finisher will fold the sheet,
but not staple it. If the booklet consists of more than one sheet of paper, the finisher will staple and then
The booklet-printing feature of the multifunction finisher allows you to saddle stitch and fold booklets using the
following paper sizes:

Print cartridge information
This section contains information about print cartridges.
Print cartridge authentication
The product informs you when a cartridge is not a genuine HP print cartridge after you insert it in the product.
If you insert a used HP cartridge from another HP product, the product can take as many as 60 printed pages
to authenticate that the cartridge is a genuine HP part, and then reactivate the supply status features.
If the control panel message states that this is not a genuine HP print cartridge and you believe you purchased
an HP cartridge, call the HP fraud hotline at (1) (887) 219-3183 (toll-free in North America).
Non-HP print cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of non-HP print cartridges, either new or remanufactured.
Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control their quality. Service or repairs
required as a result of using a non-HP print cartridge will not be covered under the product warranty.
When you use a non-HP print cartridge, the product is unable to report on the status of the print cartridge. The
CARTRIDGE LOW and CARTRIDGE OUT messages will not be provided.
Print cartridge life expectancy
When a CARTRIDGE LOW message appears on the control panel display, the default setting allows the product to
continue printing until you replace the print cartridge, or until the product receives an “end of drum life”
message. When a CARTRIDGE OUT message appears at the end of the drum life, the product stops, and you
cannot override the message or continue printing until you replace the drum. The product stops to prevent
potential damage to the product.
HP recommends that you order a replacement print cartridge when you first receive a CARTRIDGE LOW alert.
You can order a cartridge using the Internet Enabled Supplies Ordering feature. For a direct connection, click
the printer icon on the bottom right of your screen, click the icon of the product you use, and click the Order
Supplies link on the status page. In a network environment, use the Web access server to order supplies
online.

Paper specifications
HP LaserJet products produce excellent print quality. This product accepts a variety of media, such as
cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size paper.
Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting product performance
and output quality.
The product 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:
l
l
l
poor print quality
increased jams and multiple-sheet feeds
premature wear on the product, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard 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 HP has no control.
Before purchasing a large quantity of paper, make sure it meets the requirements specified in this use guide

Guidelines for using paper
2
For best results, use conventional 75 g/m (20 lb) 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 product. Do not use letterhead paper
that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography, and do not use
raised letterhead. Coated papers and some transparencies can wrap around the fuser roller and possibly
cause jams.
The product 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 product fusing temperature (200° C or 392° F for 0.1 second).

Labels
To avoid damaging the product, use only labels recommended for use in monochrome laser printers. Never
print on the same sheet of labels more than once.
CAUTION
Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, envelopes, custom paper, or paper heavier than
216 g/m (58 lb bond). Damage to the product and jams might result.
2
Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
l
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the maximum fusing temperature
of the product.
l
Arrangement: Only use full-sheet labels. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels,
causing serious jams.
l
l
Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lay flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any direction.
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
Transparencies
CAUTION
Transparencies used in the product must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the maximum fusing
temperature of the product. To avoid damaging the product, use only transparencies recommended for
use in monochrome laser printers.
Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, envelopes, custom paper, or paper heavier than
2
216 g/m (58 lb bond). Damage to the product and jamming might result.
If you have problems printing transparencies, use Tray 1 and send them to the face-down bin.

Envelopes
Note
To print envelopes, use Tray 1 and print them either to the face-down bin or to the face-up bin.
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
l
Weight: See “Paper specifications” on page 83 for supported envelope weight.
l
Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lay flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl and should
not contain air. (Envelopes that trap air may cause problems.)
l
l
Condition: Make sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
Sizes in Tray 1: See “Supported sizes of paper for input and output” on page 84 for supported paper sizes.
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 of the product. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling,
creasing, or jams.
Envelopes with double-side-seams
Double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams.
This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Make sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the
envelope.
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, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing.

Card stock and heavy paper
2
For optimum product performance, do not use paper heavier than 216 g/m (58 lb bond) in optional Tray 1 or

toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.
Card stock construction
2
l
Smoothness: 135 to 216 g/m (36 to 58 lb bond) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100 to 180

l
l
Construction: Card stock should lay flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 inches) of curl.
Condition: Make sure card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
Note
Before loading card stock in Tray 1, make sure it is regular in shape and not damaged. Also, make sure
the cards are not stuck together.
