Connecting the printer
Your printer supports local printing and network printing. For local printing, you can connect
the printer using a USB cable, or a parallel cable if you have a parallel connector installed.
You can share the printer in these ways:
z
You can use a simple form of networking, known as locally shared networking, if you used
a parallel cable or USB cable to connect the printer to a computer running Windows. Using
this method, you can share the printer with other Windows users. See “Connecting directly

You can also use locally shared networking if you used a USB cable to connect the printer
to a computer running a Mac OS. Using this method, you can share the printer with other
For true network printing, you can connect using an optional HP print server. (The
HP Jetdirect 200m print server is included with the HP Business Inkjet 1100dtn.) This
method of printing allows both users of Windows and Mac OS to print. See “Connecting to
Connecting directly using a USB or parallel cable (Windows)
In the Windows environment, you can connect directly using either a USB cable or a parallel
cable.
Note
Do not connect a USB and a parallel cable to printer at the same time.
z
USB connection
For Windows, you can use a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer if the
computer has a USB port and is running Microsoft Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.
(Windows NT does not support USB.) If your computer does not meet these
specifications, connect the printer to your computer using a parallel connector or a print
server (if the printer has one of these two).
In most cases, after you install the printer software and connect a printer to the computer,
you can install additional printers with USB cables without reinstalling the printing
software.
z
Parallel connection
You can connect the printer to the parallel port, if you have one. The computer must have
a parallel port and must be running Windows.

Sharing the printer on a locally shared network (Windows)
In a locally shared network, the printer is connected directly to the USB or parallel connector of
a selected computer (known as the server) and is shared by other computers (clients). Use
this configuration only in small groups or when usage is low. The computer connected to the
printer is slowed down when many users print to its shared printer.
You can share the printer on a locally shared network when:
z
z
The computer connected to the printer is running Windows.
The printer will be shared with other Windows users. (You cannot share the printer with
Mac OS users.)
Sharing a printer connected to your computer (the server)
1

operating systems. It might be through Settings or Control Panel, or directly through
Printers and Faxes.)

In the Printers folder, right-click the printer and click Properties.
On the Share tab, select the “share the printer” option, give the printer a Share Name.
Optional. If you are sharing the printer with users of other versions of Windows, you can
click Additional Drivers to install their drivers as a convenience to them. This step
requires you to have the Starter CD in your CD drive.
Note
When sharing a locally connected printer, use the newest operating system as the server. A
Windows 98 server will not recognize a Windows 9000 client.

Click OK.
Using a printer connected to another computer (clients)
Clients can connect to the printer in three different ways:
z
Install the printer software from the Starter CD. When prompted, select Connected via

z
z
Browse to the printer on the network and drag the printer to your Printers folder.
Add the printer and install the software from the INF file that has been saved to a location
on your network. Ask the network administrator where the INF file is located.
On the Starter CD, the INF files are stored in folders using the following format:
<CD>:\Setup\Drivers\PCL3\<operating system>\<language>.
For example, if your CD drive letter is D:, then D:\Setup\Drivers\PCL3\Win2k_XP\English
would contain the English Windows 2000 PCL 3 INF file.

1100dtn and optional with the HP Business Inkjet 1100d.
You can change print settings for a single document from the application that the document
was created in. To change the default print settings for all documents, you must open the
printer driver from the Start menu.
Changing settings for Windows
The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change
these settings when you print on media of different sizes or types, or when you want to use an
optional feature, such as printing to Tray 2 or printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.
You can change printer settings from an application or the printer driver. Try to make changes
from the application first. Changes made to settings from an application always take
precedence over changes made to settings from the printer driver.
If you want to change settings only for the jobs you are printing from the application that is
currently open, change the settings from the application. After you close the application, the
printer settings return to the defaults configured in the printer driver. If you want to set printing
options for all jobs you print from all applications, change the default settings in the printer
driver.

Printing on both sides (duplexing)
You can print on both sides of a sheet of paper automatically using the auto-duplex unit. This
is called automatic duplexing. To print on both sides of a page, you must specify duplex
options in your application or in the printer driver.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page
When printing on both sides of the page using the optional auto-duplex unit, use the following
guidelines:
z
The auto-duplex unit supports the following paper sizes: letter, legal, executive, A4, and
ISO B5. It does not support smaller sizes or custom sizes.
Minimum width: 3 inches (100 mm)
Maximum width: 8.5 inches (216 mm)
Minimum length: 5 inches (148 mm)
Maximum length 11.7 inches (292 mm)
z
To print on both sides of paper, make the selection from the application or printer driver.
z
z
The minimum top margin should be at least 0.5 inch (12 mm).
Do not print on both sides of transparencies, banner media, envelopes, plain premium
inkjet paper, photo paper, brochure paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond
2
2
(60 g/m ) or heavier than 24 lb bond (90 g/m ). Jams might occur with these types of
media.
z
Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a
page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched
holes. The auto-duplex unit prints the second side of paper first. For Tray 1 and Tray 2,
load the paper with the front side facing down.

Maintaining ink cartridges and printheads
The ink cartridges should not require maintenance except for replacing them when the ink
runs out. The printheads require very little maintenance.
Replacing ink cartridges
CAUTION
The ink in HP ink cartridges has been formulated to ensure superior print quality and
compatibility with your printer. Damage to the printer that results from modifying or refilling the
ink cartridges, or from using non-HP ink cartridges, is not covered under the warranty.
You do not have to replace all four ink cartridges when one runs out. Only replace the ink
cartridge for the color that is low or out.
You can check the ink levels from the Toolbox. You can also check the printer control panel to
see if an ink cartridge is low, as shown here.
The ink cartridge is low on ink when the Ink
Cartridge light blinks, and one or more of the
color indicator lights is on.

Cleaning the printheads
CAUTION
HP is not responsible for damage to the printer that results from modifying the printheads.
If the printed characters are incomplete, or if dots or lines are missing from the printouts, you
might need to clean the printheads. This is a symptom of clogged ink nozzles, which are a
result of prolonged exposure to air.
Clean the printheads from the Toolbox (Windows) or the HP Inkjet Utility (Mac OS). Or, follow
the procedures below for cleaning the printheads from the control panel.
There are three cleaning levels available. Run the level 1 cleaning. Only run the level 2
cleaning if the results of the first cleaning were unsatisfactory. Similarly, only run the level 3
cleaning if the results of the second cleaning were unsatisfactory.
Note
Only clean the printheads when necessary; cleaning the printheads uses ink and shortens the
life of the printheads.

Ink is smearing
Check the print mode
z
When you print documents that use a lot of ink, you must allow the document more time to
dry before handling it. This is especially true for transparencies. Select Best mode in the
printer driver, and increase the ink drying time from Advanced Features in the printer
driver. Under Advanced Features is an Ink Volume slider that you can use in conjunction
with drying time to decrease ink saturation. However, note that decreasing ink saturation
might give printouts a “washed-out” quality.
z
Color documents that have rich, blended colors can wrinkle or smear when printed using
Best mode. Try using the Normal, Fast Normal, or Draft mode to reduce ink, or use
HP Premium Paper designed for printing vivid color documents.

z
z
z
Check that the guides are set to the correct marking in the trays for the size of paper you
are loading. Also make sure the guides are snug, but not tight, against the stack.
Make sure the media you are using is not curled. Uncurl paper by bending it in the
opposite direction of the curl.
Make sure that the tray has been pushed completely into the printer.
An envelope is not picked up from the envelope slot
z
Make sure that there is not more than one envelope loaded in the envelope slot.
z
Make sure that the envelope is not wrinkled or bent. Do not leave an envelope in the
envelope slot overnight because doing so can cause the envelope to bend.
z
Make sure that media in Tray 1 is not interfering with the envelope slot and causing more
than one envelope to be fed. Remove any media from Tray 1 and try again.
Media is not coming out correctly
z

z
If the output tray extension is not extended, output pages will fall off the printer. Make sure
that output tray extension is extended.
Remove excess media from the output tray. The output tray is designed to hold a
maximum of 100 sheets at a time.
If the auto-duplex unit is not installed or if the auto-duplex unit door is down during a
duplex job, media will exit the rear of the printer. Reinstall the auto-duplex unit or close the
auto-duplex unit door.

z
Make sure that the stack of paper has been aligned with the right and front guides.
Make sure that the tray has not been overloaded with paper.
When you load paper, avoid fanning the stack. Fanning paper can cause static electricity
to build up and intensify multiple-pick problems.
z
When you reinsert a tray in the printer, make sure that you insert it gently. Forceful
insertion with a full stack of paper can cause sheets to slide up within the printer, causing
the printer to jam or pick multiple sheets at one time.

Glossary
Booklet printing
This option enables you to print two pages onto a single, larger sheet of paper and reorder the
page sequencing so that the page numbers are sequential when you fold the paper in half to
form a booklet. For more information, see the printer driver Help.
connection slot
The connection slot in the printer holds one of the following (you cannot connect both at the
same time):
z
z
HP Jetdirect print server for networking (included with the HP Business Inkjet 1100dtn)
parallel connector (optional for North America; included for the rest of the world in the HP
Business Inkjet 1100d)
The HP Jetdirect print server is an LIO print server—a type of print server intended for printers
that will be used in small groups of workers. The print server includes an embedded Web
server to report the print server status, and it is compatible with HP Web Jetadmin.
Flip pages up
This option allows you to choose the orientation of duplexed pages. When you choose an
option, view its icon in the printer driver to see how the page will look if you choose that option.
For more information, see the printer driver Help.
HP PhotoREt Color Layering technology
This technology uses small, precisely placed drops of ink that visually blend together to create
rich colors, smooth gradations, and cleanly defined color boundaries. This type of technology
works with the printer resolution to deliver superb results without creating large file sizes and
without slowing down printing.
ink cartridges
Ink cartridges hold the ink used for printing. Each color ink cartridge must be inserted firmly
parallel port connector
A piece of hardware that is connected to the printer that allows you to connect a printer directly
to a Windows computer using a parallel cable. It plugs into the connection slot on the printer.
PCL 3 driver
Printer command language. A type of printer driver that processes print jobs using the
processor and memory in the printer. It provides an efficient way for applications to control a
wide range of printer features and is designed to translate application output quickly into
high-quality raster print images. The 3 in PCL 3 identifies the version of the printer driver.

print server or print server card
A print server or print server card is a piece of hardware that can be connected to a printer (or
other device), either internally or externally. The print server allows the printer to communicate
with the computers on a network. This type of print server should not be confused with a
computer acting as a server, or print server. The computer acting as a print server runs the
software that the printer needs to operate.
printer driver
A printer driver (or PPD on a Macintosh) is the software on a computer that allows the
computer to communicate with the printer. Use the printer driver to set printing options, such
as setting the type of paper you are using or selecting the print quality.
printheads
Printheads transfer ink from ink cartridges onto the paper or other print media. There is one
printhead for each color of ink cartridge. Each printhead must be inserted firmly into its
Quick Sets
Quick Sets allow you to save the current printer driver settings (such as page orientation, print
on both sides, paper source) for reuse. Quick sets can be selected and saved from most tabs
in the printer driver. They are useful for projects that you print often that need the same
settings each time. For more information, see the printer driver Help.
resolution
Resolution is a measure of the quality of the image you are printing. In HP printers, the
resolution and printing technologies work together to produce superb results that resolution
alone cannot offer.
