Consistent Black and Color Print Quality with HP
Printing Supplies
HP printers, printheads, and ink cartridges are all part of the
HP RealLife Imaging System – designed to work together
to deliver professional print quality at exceptional speeds
for results that are always clear, always sharp. The HP
RealLife Imaging System gives you:
• clear, crisp black text and sharp, vivid color on any kind
of paper.
• photo-perfect color images on HP special papers
and film.
• a modular ink delivery system, featuring separate ink
cartridges and printheads, which provides consistently
superior print quality and a lower cost per page.
Ink Cartridges
Each HP No.
Ink Cartridge is a self-contained, plug-in
ink supply, separate from the printhead. The four ink
cartridges never need maintenance, and are individually
replaceable, so no ink is wasted. Black ink cartridges are
also available in a large size (74 ml) to give you even
greater value.
Built-in smart chips on all ink cartridges enable the printer
to alert you when ink levels are low.

Selecting and Using Paper
Paper Recommendations
The HP 2000C printer works well with most plain
photocopy paper, postcards, index cards, transparencies,
envelopes, and labels, and will print on 100% recycled papers
that comply with DIN 19 309. For best results, use HP
Premium and Deluxe papers and transparencies.
Paper Recommendations
Your HP 2000C printer is designed to work well on most
common office paper types and with quality 25% cotton
bond paper. Because your printer uses ink to produce an
image, paper that accepts ink well produces the best results.
It is best to test a variety of paper types before buying
large quantities. Find a paper type that works well and is
easy to purchase. HP Premium papers are designed for
the best-quality results.
Tips for Selecting Paper
• Always use paper that conforms with those listed under “Recommended
Media Weight and Sizes,” near the end of the Printer Specifications
section of this User’s Guide.
• Test a sample of a particular paper to ensure that it is compatible with
the printer and produces acceptable print quality before purchasing
large quantities.
• Do not use damaged, curled, or wrinkled media. Do not use paper with
cutouts or perforations.
• Do not use paper that is too thin, has a slick texture, or “stretches” easily.
It can feed improperly through the printer’s paper path.
• Do not use multiple-part forms.
• Avoid using paper that is heavily textured or embossed. It often does not
accept ink well and can cause poorly filled graphics or text.

Tips for Using Paper
• Load only one paper type at a time into the IN tray or accessory
paper tray.
• Before inserting a stack of paper into the IN tray or the accessory paper
tray, tap the edges on a flat surface to even it out.
• Always insert paper print side down, with the right edge of the paper
aligned against the right edge of the IN tray or accessory paper tray.
• Do not load a stack of more than 150 sheets (5/8 in. or 16 mm thick) of
paper into the IN tray at one time. For the HP 2000C Professional Series
Accessory Paper Tray, do not load a stack of more than 250 sheets
(1 in. or 26 mm thick) of paper at one time.
HP Special Media
HP offers a wide variety of special media designed to
produce exceptional black and color print quality on
all your printed documents. Use these HP papers when
you want the most vivid color and the sharpest text.
HP Bright White InkJet Paper
HP Bright White InkJet Paper is an excellent common
paper type for everyday use with your HP 2000C printer.
It is available from most office supply stores at prices
comparable to other standard paper choices.

Using Your Printer on a Network
Network-Connect
If you work in a network environment, you can connect
the HP 2000C printer to your network. The printer can be
attached directly to the network via an external print server
(network-connect) or connected to a personal computer
(locally shared).
Network-Connect (recommended)
In this configuration, the printer connects to the network
via direct attachment to an external print server such as an
HP JetDirect 300X. This configuration provides increased
performance, location flexibility, and better printer status
information.
Locally Shared
In the locally shared configuration, the printer is connected
directly to the parallel port of a selected computer on the
network. The printer can then be shared by other users on
the network through the Windows operating system.
The advantages of a locally shared printer are relatively
easy installation and low cost, since no additional hardware
or software is required.
The disadvantages of a locally shared printer involve
decreased performance, limited printer status information,
and less flexibility in locating the printer. Also, the host
computer may slow down while handling print jobs, and
print jobs may be delayed for other users. Finally, if the
host computer is turned off or rebooted, print jobs may be
lost or not printed.
Setting Up Your Printer on a Network
For detailed information on setting up your printer on a
network, go to the index of the HP 2000C Toolbox, under
the topic “Printing on a Network.”

Environmental Attributes of the HP 2000C Printer
Printer Packaging: The printer packaging, the
expanded polystyrene packaging inserts, and the
clear polyethylene bags containing the printer
drivers do not contain any halogenated polymers
and are 100% recyclable.
Environmental Statement
Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the
design and production processes of HP printers
to minimize the negative impact on the office
environment and on the communities where
printers are manufactured, shipped, and used.
Hewlett-Packard has also developed processes to
minimize the negative impact of the disposal of
the printer at the end of printing life.
Plastic Parts: All plastic parts of the printer and
packaging are marked according to international
standards, to enable the identification of these parts
for recycling. The plastics used in the printer
housing and chassis are technically recyclable.
Reduction and Elimination
Product Longevity: To ensure the longevity of
your printer, HP provides the following:
Printer Packaging: Packaging materials have been
reduced, saving roughly 50% in fuel and, therefore,
fuel emissions.
Extended Warranty – HP SupportPack offers a
three year protection plan. HP SupportPack must be
purchased within 30 days of your product purchase.
Contact the nearest HP dealer about this service.
Ink Consumption: EconoFast mode uses about 1/2
the amount of black ink for text compared to
Normal mode. EconoFast mode uses 1/3 to 1/4 less
ink than Normal mode for color, thereby extending
the life of the ink cartridge.
Spare Parts and Consumables Availability for at
least five years after production has stopped.
Energy Consumption
Paper Use: The printer’s manual duplexing, or two-
sided printing option, reduces paper usage and the
resulting demands on natural resources. This printer
is suited for the use of recycled papers according to
DIN 19 309.
This printer was designed with energy conservation
in mind. This printer uses less than 8 watts in
stand by mode, which easily qualifies it as an
energy-saving computer printer under the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star
Computers Program.
Ozone: All ozone-depleting chemicals (CFCs for
example) have been eliminated from Hewlett-
Packard manufacturing processes.
Recycling
Design for recycling has been incorporated into this
printer. The number of materials has been kept to a
minimum, and dissimilar materials have been
designed to separate easily. Fasteners and
connections are easy to locate, access, and remove
using common tools. High-priority parts have been
designed to be accessed quickly for efficient
disassembly and repair. Plastic parts have been
primarily designed in no more than two colors to
enhance recycling options.
Off-mode Energy Consumption: When the printer
is in off-mode, a minimal amount of energy is still
being consumed. Energy consumption can be
prevented by turning the printer power off, and
then disconnecting the printer power cord from
the electrical source.
