Configuring network settings
You might need to configure certain network parameters on the product. You can configure these
parameters from the installation software, the product control panel, the embedded Web server, or
management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin.
For more information about supported networks and network configuration tools, see the HP Jetdirect
Print Servers Administrator’s Guide. The guide comes with printers in which an HP Jetdirect print server
is installed.
TCP/IP
Similar to a common language that people use to communicate with each other, TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and
other devices communicate with each other over a network.
Internet Protocol (IP)
When information is sent across the network, the data is broken down into small packets. Each packet
is sent independently. Each packet is encoded with IP information, such as the IP address of the sender
and receiver. IP packets can be routed over routers and gateways: devices that connect a network with
other networks.
IP communications require no connection. When IP packets are sent, they might not arrive at their
destination in the correct sequence. However, higher-level protocols and programs place the packets
in the correct sequence, so IP communications are efficient.
Each node or device that communicates on the network requires an IP address.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
TCP breaks the data into packets and recombines them on the receiving end by providing a connection-
oriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to another node on the network. When data packets
are received at their destination, TCP calculates a checksum for each packet to verify that the data is
not corrupt. If the data in the packet has been corrupted during transmission, TCP discards the packet
and requests that the packet be resent.
IP address
Every host (workstation or node) on an IP network requires a unique IP address for each network
interface. This address is used to identify both the network and specific hosts that are located on that
network. It is possible for a host to query a server for a dynamic IP address each time the product boots
up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).
An IP address contains four bytes of information, divided into sections that each contain one byte. The
IP address has the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
CAUTION: When assigning IP addresses, always consult the IP address administrator. Setting the
wrong address can disable other equipment operating on the network or interfere with communications.
Configure IP parameters
TCP/IP configuration parameters can be configured manually, or they can be automatically downloaded
by using DHCP or BOOTP each time the product is turned on.
88 Chapter 6 Network configuration
ENWW
When turned on, a new product that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network
automatically assigns itself a default IP address. The IP address for the product is listed on the product
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP allows a group of devices to use a set of IP addresses that are maintained by a DHCP server.
The product sends a request to the server, and if an IP address is available, the server assigns it to that
product.
BOOTP
BOOTP is a bootstrap protocol used to download configuration parameters and host information from
a network server.
The client broadcasts a boot request packet that contains the product hardware address. The server
answers with a boot reply packet that contains the information that the product needs for configuration.
Subnets
When an IP network address for a particular network class is assigned to an organization, no provision
is made for more than one network being present at that location. Local network administrators use
subnets to partition a network into several different subnetworks. Splitting a network into subnets can
result in better performance and improved use of limited network address space.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask is a mechanism used to divide a single IP network into several different subnetworks.
For a given network class, a portion of an IP address that would normally be used to identify a node is
used, instead, to identify a subnetwork. A subnet mask is applied to each IP address to specify the
portion used for subnetworks, and the portion used to identify the node.
Gateways
Gateways (routers) are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators
between systems that do not use the same communication protocols, data formatting, structures,
languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match
that of the destination system. When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are required to
connect one subnet to another.
Default gateway
The default gateway is the IP address of the gateway or router that moves packets between networks.
If multiple gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway is typically the address of the first, or
nearest, gateway or router. If no gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway will typically assume
the IP address of the network node (such as the workstation or product).

your software program or printer driver. Use the following guidelines to set margins for return and
destination addresses on Commercial #10 or DL envelopes:
Address type
Left margin
Top margin
Return
15 mm (0.6 in)
102 mm (4 in)
15 mm (0.6 in)
51 mm (2 in)
Destination
For envelopes of other sizes, adjust the margin settings accordingly.
Load trays 2, 3, 4, or 5
Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5 each hold up to 500 sheets of standard paper or a 54 mm (2.13-inch) stack of labels
or other thick paper.

Configure trays
The product automatically prompts you to configure a tray for type and size in the following situations:
When you load paper into the tray
●
●
When you specify a particular tray or media type for a print job through the printer driver or a
software program and the tray is not configured to match the print-job’s settings
The following message appears on the control panel:Tray <x> [type] [size] To change size or type,
touch “Modify”. To accept, touch “OK”.
NOTE: The prompt does not appear if you are printing from Tray 1 and Tray 1 is configured for Any
Custom and Any Type.
NOTE: If you have used other HP LaserJet product models, you might be accustomed to configuring
Tray 1 to First mode or Cassette mode. On the HP Color LaserJet CM6049f, setting Tray 1 size to Any
Custom is equivalent to First mode. Setting size for Tray 1 to a setting other than Any Custom is
equivalent to Cassette mode.
Configure a tray when loading paper
1. Load paper in the tray. Close the tray if you are using Tray 2, 3, 4, or 5.
2. The tray configuration message appears.
3. Touch OK to accept the detected size and type, or touch Modify to choose a different paper size
or type.
4. Select the correct size and type and then touch OK.
NOTE: The product automatically detects most paper sizes in Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Configure a tray to match print job settings
1. In the software program, specify the source tray, the paper size, and the paper type.
2. Send the job to the product.
If the tray needs to be configured, the Load Tray x <Type> <Size> message appears.
3. Load the tray with the specified type and size of paper, and then close the tray.
To specify a custom size, Modify.
4. When the Tray <x> Size=<Size> message appears, touch OK to confirm the size.
5. When the Tray<x> Type=<Type> message appears, touch OK to confirm the type and continue
with the job.
Automatic media type sensing (auto sense mode)
The automatic media type sensor functions only when that tray is configured to Any Type or Plain type.
Configuring a tray to any other type, such as Bond or Glossy, deactivates the media sensor in that tray.
ENWW
Configure trays 111
The HP Color LaserJet CM6049f MFP can automatically classify many paper types into one of the
following categories:
Plain
●
●
●
●
●
●
Transparency
Glossy
Extra-heavy glossy
Glossy film
Heavy
For more control, a specific type must be selected in the job or configured in a tray.
Auto sense settings
Full sensing (default for Tray 1)
The product recognizes light, plain, heavy, glossy, and tough paper and overhead transparencies.
●
●
●
Each time the product begins a print job, it stops the first page to sense the type.
This is the slowest mode.
Expanded sensing (default for Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5)
Each time the product begins a print job, it stops the first page to sense the type.
●
●
The product assumes that the second and all subsequent pages are of the same media type as
the first page.
This is the second-fastest mode, and is useful for using stacks of the same media type.
●
Transparency only
The product does not stop any pages for sensing but distinguishes between transparencies
(Transparency mode) and paper (Normal mode).
●
This is the fastest mode and is useful for high-volume printing in Normal mode.
●
For more information about setting these options, see Print Quality menu on page 48
Select the paper by source, type, or size
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, three settings affect how the printer driver tries to pull media
when you send a print job. Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print, or Print
Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. Unless you change these settings, the product
automatically selects a tray using the default settings.
Source
To print by Source select a specific tray for the product to pull from. If you select a tray that is configured
for a type or size that does not match your print job, the product prompts you to load the tray with the
type or size of print media for your print job before printing it. When you load the tray, the product begins
printing.
112 Chapter 7 Paper and print media
ENWW
Type and Size
Printing by Type or Size means that you want the product to pull from the tray that is loaded with the
correct type and size of media. Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays
and helps protect special media from accidental use. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead
and you select plain paper, the product will not pull the letterhead from that tray. Instead, it will pull from
a tray that has plain paper loaded and is configured for plain paper on the product control panel. Selecting
media by Type and Size results in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and
transparencies. Using the wrong setting might result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by Type
for special print media, such as labels or transparencies. Print by Size for envelopes, if possible.
To print by Type or Size, select the Type or Size from the Page Setup dialog box, the Print dialog
box, or the Print Properties dialog box, depending on the software program.
●
If you often print on a certain type or size of media, configure a tray for that type or size. Then,
when you select that type or size as you print a job, the product automatically pulls media from the
tray that is configured for that type or size.

Print jobs can be stapled with a diagonal staple in either top corner, with two horizontal staples at the
top of the page, or with two vertical staples at either side of the page.
●
●
●
Paper weight can range from 60 to 220 g/m2 (16 to 148 lbs.). Heavier paper might have a stapling
limit of fewer than 50 sheets.
The optional stapler/stacker can staple jobs of up to 50 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. It can stack
up to 1,000 sheets of paper, or 30 stapled jobs, whichever is less.
The optional booklet maker can also staple jobs of up to 50 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. It can
staple and fold up to 15 pages into a booklet. It can stack up to 1,000 sheets of paper, (or 30 stapled
jobs) or up to 25 saddle-stitched booklets.
If the job consists of only one sheet, or if it consists of more than 50 sheets, the product delivers
the job to the bin, but does not staple the job.
●
●
The stapler supports paper only. Do not try to staple other types of print media, such as envelopes,
transparencies, or labels.
When you want the product to staple or fold a document, select the correct option in the software. You
can usually select the stapler in your program or printer driver, although some options might be available
only in the printer driver. Where and how you make selections depends on your program or printer driver.
If you cannot select the stapler or booklet maker finisher in the program or printer driver, select it at the
product control panel.
The stapler accepts print jobs if it is out of staples, but it does not staple the pages. The product can be
configured to stop printing if the staple cartridge is empty.
Supported paper sizes for stapling
In order to staple a print job, you must be a supported paper size and orientation.
Corner, angled staples are supported with the following paper sizes: A4, A4 Rotated, Letter, Letter
Rotated, Legal, A3, 11 x 17, and B4 (JIS).
Two staples at the top or side of the print job are supported with the following paper sizes: A4, Letter,

Manage color
Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for the most common
printing requirements. However, for some documents, setting the color options manually can enhance
the way the document appears. Examples of these documents include marketing brochures that contain
many images or documents that are printed on a paper type that is not listed in the printer driver.
Use the printer driver to adjust color settings. For more information, see Set color options
Automatic or manual color adjustment
The Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral gray color treatment, halftones, and edge
enhancements that are used for each element in a document.
NOTE: Automatic is the default setting and is recommended for printing most color documents.
The Manual color adjustment option allows you to adjust the neutral gray color treatment, halftones,
and edge enhancements for text, graphics, and photographs.
Manual color options
You can manually adjust color options for Edge Control, Halftones, and Neutral Grays.
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has three components:
adaptive halftoning, Resolution Enhancement technology (REt), and trapping. Adaptive halftoning
increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of incorrect color alignment by slightly
overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. The color REt option smoothes the edges.
NOTE: If you notice white gaps between objects, or if you notice areas that have a slight shadow of
cyan, magenta, or yellow at the edge, choose an edge-control setting that increases the trapping level.
Four levels of edge control are available:
Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are
on.
●
Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning and color
REt settings are on.
●
Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on.
Off turns off trapping, adaptive halftoning, and color REt.
●
●
Halftone options
Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can select halftone settings
for text, graphics, and photographs independently. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail.
The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option when uniform and smooth
area fills are top priority.
●
The Detail option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or
colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Choose this option when sharp
edges and details are top priority.
●
144 Chapter 10 Use color
ENWW
NOTE: Some software programs convert text or graphics to bitmap images. In these cases, setting
the color options for photographs also affects how text and graphics appear.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method used for creating gray colors that are used in text,
graphics, and photographs.
Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting:
Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) using only black toner. This guarantees
neutral colors without a color cast.
●
4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method
produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and it produces the darkest
black.
●
Print in grayscale
Select the Print in Grayscale or Print Color as Gray option from the printer driver to print a document
in black and white.
Restrict color use
This product includes a Restrict Color setting. A network administrator can use the setting to restrict
user access to the color printing in order to conserve color toner. If you are unable to print in color, see
your network administrator.

Five values are available for the RGB Color setting:
Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the product to interpret RGB
color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C).
●
Select Image optimization (sRGB) to enhance documents in which the content is mainly bitmap
images, such as .GIF or .JPEG files. This setting instructs the product to use the best color matching
for rendering sRGB, bitmap images. This setting has no effect on text or vector-based graphics.
Using glossy paper in combination with this setting provides the maximum enhancement.
●
Select AdobeRGB for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. For
example, some digital cameras capture images in AdobeRGB, and documents that are produced
with Adobe PhotoShop use the AdobeRGB color space. When printing from a professional software
program that uses AdobeRGB, it is important that you turn off the color management in the software
program and allow the product software to manage the color space.

Match colors
The process of matching product output color to your 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 your ability to match printed colors to those on your 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
Printer drivers
Computer operating system
Monitors and monitor settings
Video cards and drivers
Operating environment (humidity for example)
Keep the above factors in mind when colors on your screen do not perfectly match your printed colors.
For most users, the best method for matching colors on your screen to your product is to print sRGB
colors.
Sample book color matching
The process for matching product output to preprinted sample books and standard color references is
complex. In general, you can obtain a reasonably good match to a sample book if the inks used to create
the sample book are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These are usually referred to as process color
sample books.
Some sample books are created from spot colors. Spot colors are specially created colorants. Many of
these spot colors are outside of the range of the product. Most spot color sample books have companion
process sample books that provide CMYK approximations to the spot color.
Most process sample books will state which process standards were used to print the sample book. In
most cases they will be SWOP, EURO, or DIC. To get optimal color matching to the process sample
book, select the corresponding ink emulation from the product menu. If you cannot identify the process
standard, use SWOP ink emulation.
Printing color samples
To use the color samples, select the color sample that is the closest match to the desired color. Use the
sample’s color value in your software program to describe the object you wish to match. Colors may
ENWW

vary depending on paper type and the software program used. For more details on how to use the color
Use the following procedure to print color samples at the product using the control panel:
1. Touch Administration and then touch Information.
2. Touch Sample pages/fonts and then touch CMYK samples or RGB samples to print the samples.
PANTONE® color matching
PANTONE has multiple color matching systems. PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® is very popular

Paper selection
For the best color and image quality, it is important to select the appropriate paper type from the product
menu or from the front panel.
sRGB
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard originally developed by HP and Microsoft
as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners, digital cameras), and output devices
(products, printers, plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating
systems, the Web, and most office software sold today. sRGB is representative of the typical Windows
computer monitor today and the convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE: Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room’s lighting can affect the appearance
of colors on your screen.
The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop, CorelDRAW™, Microsoft Office, and many other software
programs use sRGB to communicate color. Most importantly, as the default color space in Microsoft
operating systems, sRGB has gained broad adoption as a means to exchange color information between
software programs and devices using a common definition that assures typical users will experience
greatly improved color matching. sRGB improves your ability to match colors between the product, the
computer monitor, and other input devices (scanner, digital camera) automatically, without the need to
become a color expert.
Print in four colors — CMYK
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) are the inks used by a printing press. The process is often
called four-color printing. CMYK data files are typically used by and originate from graphic arts (printing
and publishing) environments. The product will accept CMYK colors through the PS printer driver. The
product color-rendering of CMYK is designed to provide rich, saturated colors for text and graphics.
CMYK ink set emulation (HP postscript level 3 emulation)
The product color rendering of CMYK can be made to emulate several standard offset press ink sets.
In some situations, the CMYK color values in an image or document might not be suited to the product.
For example, a document might be optimized for another product. For best results, the CMYK values

Supported protocols
The HP Color LaserJet CM6049f MFP supports Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
SMTP
SMTP is a set of rules that define the interaction between programs that send and receive e-mail.
In order for the device to send documents to e-mail, it must be connected to a LAN that has access
to an e-mail server that supports SMTP. The SMTP server must also have Internet access.
●
●
If you are using a LAN connection, contact your system administrator to obtain the IP address or
host name for your SMTP server. If you are connecting through a DSL or cable connection, contact
the internet service provider to obtain the SMTP server IP address.
LDAP
LDAP is used to gain access to a database of information. When the device uses LDAP, it searches
a global list of e-mail addresses. As you begin to type the e-mail address, LDAP uses an auto-
complete feature that supplies a list of e-mail addresses that match the characters you type. As
you type additional characters, the list of matching e-mail addresses becomes smaller.
●
●
The device supports LDAP, but a connection to an LDAP server is not required in order for the
device to be able to send to e-mail.
NOTE: If you need to change the LDAP settings, you must change them by using the embedded
Web Server User Guide.

Analog fax
When the analog fax accessory is installed, the product can function as a standalone fax machine.
The HP Color LaserJet CM6049f comes with a fax accessory already installed. Specifications for the
Analog Fax Accessory are available in the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 300 User Guide. The
Analog Fax Accessory 300 Fax Guide and the Analog Fax Accessory 300 Send Fax Driver Guide are
Connect the fax accessory to a phone line
When connecting the fax accessory to a phone line, ensure that the phone line being used for the fax
accessory is a dedicated line that is not used by any other devices. Also, this line should be an analog
line because the fax will not function correctly if it is connected to some digital PBX systems. If you are
not sure whether you have an analog or digital phone line, contact your telecom provider.
NOTE: HP recommends using the phone cord that comes with the fax accessory to ensure that the
accessory functions correctly.
Follow these instructions to connect the fax accessory to a phone jack.
1. Locate the phone cord that is included with the fax accessory kit. Connect one end of the phone
cord into the fax accessory phone jack that is on the formatter. Push the connector until it clicks.
CAUTION: Be sure to connect the phone line to the fax accessory port, which is located in the
center of the formatter. Do not connect the phone line to the HP Jetdirect port, which is nearer the
bottom of the formatter.
2. Connect the other end of the phone cord into the phone jack on the wall. Push the connector until
it clicks or until it is securely seated. Because different types of connectors are used in different
countries/regions, the connector might not make an audible click.
Configure and use the fax features
Before you can use the fax features, you must configure them in the control-panel menus. For complete
information about configuring and using the fax accessory, and for information about troubleshooting
problems with the fax accessory, see the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 300 User Guide. This
guide is provided with the fax accessory.

Secure Disk Erase
To protect deleted data from unauthorized access on the product hard drive, use the Secure Disk Erase
feature. This feature can securely erase print and copy jobs from the hard drive.
Secure Disk Erase offers the following levels of disk security:
Non-Secure Fast Erase. This is a simple file-table erase function. Access to the file is removed,
but actual data is retained on the disk until it is overwritten by subsequent data-storage operations.
This is the fastest mode. Non-Secure Fast Erase is the default erase mode.
●
●
Secure Fast Erase. Access to the file is removed, and the data is overwritten with a fixed identical
character pattern. This is slower than Non-Secure Fast Erase, but all data is overwritten. Secure
Fast Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M requirements for the clearing of disk
media.
Secure Sanitizing Erase. This level is similar to the Secure Fast Erase mode. In addition, data is
repetitively overwritten by using an algorithm that prevents any residual data persistence. This
mode will impact performance. Secure Sanitizing Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense
5220-22.M requirements for the sanitization of disk media.
●
Data affected
Data affected (covered) by the Secure Disk Erase feature includes temporary files that are created
during the print and copying process, stored jobs, proof and hold jobs, disk-based fonts, disk-based
macros (forms), stored fax files, address books, and HP and third-party applications.
NOTE: Stored jobs will be securely overwritten only when they have been deleted through the
Retrieve Job menu on the product after the appropriate erase mode has been set.
This feature will not impact data that is stored on flash-based product non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) that
is used to store default settings, page counts, and similar data. This feature does not affect data that is
stored on a system RAM disk (if one is used). This feature does not impact data that is stored on the
flash-based system boot RAM.
Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode does not overwrite previous data on the disk, nor does it
immediately perform a full-disk sanitization. Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode changes how the
product cleans up temporary data for jobs after the erase mode has been changed.

Calibrate the scanner
Calibrate the scanner to compensate for offsets in the scanner imaging system (carriage head) for ADF
and flatbed scans. Because of mechanical tolerances, the scanner's carriage head might not read the
position of the image accurately. During the calibration procedure, scanner offset values are calculated
and stored. The offset values are then used when producing scans so that the correct portion of the
document is captured.
Scanner calibration should be carried out only if you notice offset problems with the scanned images.
The scanner is calibrated before it leaves the factory. It needs to be calibrated again only rarely.
Before calibrating the scanner, print the calibration target.
1. Place letter- or A4-size paper in tray 1, and adjust the side guides.
2. On the control-panel Home screen, scroll to and touch Administration.
3. Touch Troubleshooting.

the product.
7. Touch Start to print the second pass. The final calibration target must look like the following figure.
CAUTION: If the calibration target does not look like the figure shown here, the calibration
process will fail and the quality of scans will be degraded. The black areas must extend completely
to the short edges of the page. If they do not, use a black marker to extend the black areas to the
edge of the page. Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
8. Place the calibration target face-up into the ADF, and adjust the side guides.
9. After the calibration target has passed through the ADF once, reposition it face down in the ADF
and touch Start.
10. Place the calibration target face-down on the scanner glass, touch Start, and scan the page. After
this pass, the calibration is complete.

Download new firmware from the HP Web site
To find the most recent firmware upgrade for the product, go to www.hp.com/go/
cljcm6049mfp_firmware. This page provides instructions for downloading the new firmware version.
Transfer the new firmware to the product
NOTE: The product can receive an .RFU file update when it is in a "ready" state.
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the
product to re-initialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things, including the speed of the
host computer that is sending the update. If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before
the firmware is downloaded (while Receiving Upgrade appears on the control-panel display), the
firmware file must be sent again. If power is lost during the flash DIMM update (while the Performing
Upgrade message appears on the control-panel display), the update is interrupted and the message
Resend Upgrade appears (in English only) on the control-panel display. In this case, you must send
the upgrade by using the parallel port. Finally, any jobs that are ahead of the RFU job in the queue are
completed before the update is processed.
Use FTP to upload the firmware through a browser
NOTE: The firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory
(NVRAM). Any menu settings that are changed from the default settings might return to default settings
and must be changed again if you want settings that are different from the defaults.
1. Print a configuration page and note the TCP/IP address shown on the EIO Jetdirect page.
2. Open a browser window.
3. In the address line of the browser, type ftp://<ADDRESS>, where <ADDRESS> is the address

Solving general problems
If the product is not responding properly, complete the steps in the following checklist, in order. If the
product does not pass a step, follow the corresponding troubleshooting suggestions. If a step resolves
the problem, you can stop without performing the other steps on the checklist.
Troubleshooting checklist
1. Make sure the product Ready light is on. If no lights are on, complete these steps:
a. Check the power-cable connections.
b. Check that the power switch is on.
c. Make sure that the line voltage is correct for the product power configuration. (See the label
that is on the back of the product for voltage requirements.) If you are using a power strip and
its voltage is not within specifications, plug the product directly into the wall. If it is already
plugged into the wall, try a different outlet.
d. Remove any other products plugged into the same circuit.
e. If none of these measures restores power, contact your dealer for support.
2. Check the cabling.
a. Check the cable connection between the product and the computer or network port. Make
sure that the connection is secure.
b. Make sure that the cable itself is not faulty by using a different cable, if possible.
3. If the product is in the READY state, check to see if any message appear on the control-panel
4. Ensure that the print paper that you are using meets specifications.
5. Print a configuration page (see Information pages on page 176. An HP Jetdirect page also prints.)
a. If the pages do not print, check that at least one tray contains print paper.
6. If the configuration page prints, check the following items.
a. If the page prints correctly, then the product hardware is working. The problem is with the
computer you are using, with the printer driver, or with the program.
b. If the page does not print correctly, the problem is with the product hardware. Contact your
dealer for support.
7. Select one of the following options:
Windows: Click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers, or Printers and Faxes. Double click
HP Color LaserJet CM6049f.
-or-
218 Chapter 15 Solve problems
ENWW
Mac OS X: Open Print Center, (or Printer Setup Utility for Mac OS X v. 10.3), and double-click
the line for the HP Color LaserJet CM6049f.
8. Verify that you have installed the HP Color LaserJet CM6049f printer driver. Check the program to
make sure that you are using an HP Color LaserJet CM6049f printer driver.
9. Print a short document from a different program that has worked in the past. If this solution works,
then the problem is with the program you are using. If this solution does not work (the document
does not print) complete these steps:
a. Try printing the job from another computer that has the product software installed.
b. If you connected the product to the network, connect the product directly to a computer with
a USB cable. Redirect the product to the correct port, or reinstall the software, selecting the
new connection type that you are using.
Restore factory settings
Use the Resets menu to restore factory settings.
1. Scroll to and touch Administration and then touch Resets.
2. Touch Restore Factory Settings and then touch Restore.
Factors that affect product performance
Several factors affect the time it takes to print a job:
Maximum printer speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm)
The use of special paper (such as transparencies, heavy paper, and custom-size paper)
Printer processing and download time
●
●
●
●
●
●
●

The complexity and size of graphics
The speed of the computer you are using
The USB connection
The printer I/O configuration
The amount of printer memory installed
The network operating system and configuration (if applicable)
Printer personality (HP JetReady, PCL, or PS)
NOTE: Although additional printer memory can resolve memory problems, improve how the printer
handles complex graphics, and improve download times, it will not increase maximum printer speed
(ppm).

Solving general problems 219
Control-panel message types
Four types of control-panel messages can indicate the status of or problems with the device.
Message type
Description
Status messages
Status messages reflect the current state of the device. They inform you of normal device operation
and require no interaction to clear them. They change as the state of the device changes. Whenever
the device is ready, not busy, and has no pending warning messages, the status message Ready
appears if the device is online.
Warning messages
Error messages
Warning messages inform you of data and print errors. These messages typically alternate with the
Ready or status messages and remain until you touch OK. Some warning messages are clearable.
If Clearable Warnings is set to Job on the device Device Behavior menu, the next print job clears
these messages.
Error messages communicate that some action must be performed, such as adding paper or clearing
a jam.
Some error messages are auto-continuable. If Auto-Continue is set on the menus, the device will
continue normal operation after an auto-continuable error message appears for 10 seconds.
NOTE: Pressing any button during the 10-second auto-continuable error message overrides the
auto-continue feature, and the button function takes precedence. For example, pressing the Stop
button pauses printing and offers the option to cancel the print job.
Critical-error messages Critical error messages inform you of a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by
turning the device off and then on. These messages are not affected by the Auto-Continue setting.
If a critical error persists, service is required.

Correct print quality and copy quality problems
The following procedures help you define print quality problems and what to do to correct them. Often
print quality problems can be handled easily by making sure that the product is properly maintained,
using print media that meets HP specifications, or running a cleaning page.
Example print quality problems
Some print quality problems arise from use of inappropriate paper.
Use paper that meets HP paper specifications.
●
●
●
The surface of the paper is too rough. Use paper that meets HP paper specifications.
The printer driver setting or paper tray setting might be incorrect. Be sure that you have configured
the paper tray at the product control panel and have also selected the correct driver setting for the
paper that you are using.
The print mode might be set incorrectly, or the paper might not meet recommended specifications.
●
●
The transparencies you are using are not designed for proper toner adhesion. Use only
transparencies designed for HP Color LaserJet products.
The moisture content of the paper is uneven, too high, or too low. Use paper from a different source
or from an unopened ream of paper.
●
●
●
Some areas of the paper reject toner. Use paper from a different source or from an unopened ream
of paper.
The letterhead you are using is printed on rough paper. Use a smoother, xerographic paper. If this
solves your problem, consult with the printer of your letterhead to verify that the paper used meets
the specifications for this product.
Several optimize print modes can be used to address print quality issues. See Print Quality menu
●
Repetitive defects ruler
If defects repeat at regular intervals on the page, use this ruler to identify the cause of the defect. Place
the top of the ruler at the first defect. The marking that is beside the next occurrence of the defect
indicates which component needs to be replaced.

Use manual print modes
Try the following manual print modes to see if they solve the image quality problems. These options can
be found in the Optimize sub-menu under the control panel Print Quality menu. See Print Quality menu
Fuser Temp: If you are seeing a faint image of the page repeated at the bottom of the page or on
the following page, you should first make sure the Paper Type and Print Mode settings are correct
for the type of paper you are using. If you continue to see ghost images on your print jobs, set the
Fuser Temp feature to one of the Alternate settings . Try the Alternate 1 setting first and see if it
solves the problem. If you continue to see the problem, try Alternate 2 and then Alternate 3. With
the Alternate 2 and Alternate 3 settings you may see an extra delay between jobs.
●
Light Media: Set this feature to On if you are frequently seeing Fuser Delay Jam or Fuser Wrap
Jam messages, especially when printing on light-weight paper or on jobs with heavy toner
coverage.
●
Media Temp: Set this feature to Reduced if you are having problems with paper sticking together
in the output bin.
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Environment: Enable this feature if the product is operating in a low temperature environment and
you are having problems with print quality such as blisters in the printed image.
Line Voltage: Enable this feature if the product is operating in a low voltage environment and you
are having problems with print quality such as blisters in the printed image.
Background: Turn this feature on if pages are printing with a shaded background. Using this
feature can reduce gloss levels.
Paper Curl: Set this feature to Reduced if excessive curling of paper in the output bin occurs. This
setting will reduce printing speed and increase the frequency of consumable replacement.
Pre-rotation: Turn this feature on if horizontal streaks appear on pages. Using this feature
increases the warm-up time for the device.
Tray 1: If you are seeing marks on the back side of the paper or extra toner on pages when printing
from Tray 1, set the mode to Alternate. When the mode is set to Alternate a cleaning cycle will be
performed after each job that is printed from Tray 1. Using Alternate mode increase wear on all the
print cartridges.
Tracking Control: This setting should always be set to On.
●
●
Cleaning Frequency = Normal/Alternate: Set this feature to Alternate if you are seeing defects
in the printed output that repeat at 38 mm (1.5 inch) intervals. This feature increases the frequency
at which the C roller is cleaned. Setting this feature to Alternate might also reduce printing speed
and increase the frequency of consumable replacement.
D-Blade Bias = Normal/Alternate: Set this feature to Alternate if you are seeing short, white,
vertical lines in the printed output. The Alternate setting might also cause dark spots in the printed
output, so be sure to test this setting on a few print jobs.
●
Waste Bin = Normal/Alternate: Try setting this feature to Alternate if you are seeing lengthwise
toner streaks in your printed output, especially in jobs with low toner coverage.
●
●
Discharge Brush = Off/On: Enable this feature in low temperature and low humidity environments
if you are seeing specks of toner scattered on double-sided jobs using lightweight paper and longer
than ten pages.

Environmental product stewardship program 289
Certificate of volatility
This is a statement regarding the volatility of customer data stored in memory. It also outlines how to
erase secure data from the device.
Types of memory
Volatile memory
The MFP utilizes volatile memory (64MB on the board and 256MB installed, for a total of 320MB) to
store customer data during the printing and copying process. When the MFP is powered off, this volatile
memory is erased.
Non-volatile memory
The MFP utilizes non-volatile memory (EEPROM) to store system control data and user preference
settings. No customer print or copy data is stored in non-volatile memory. This non-volatile memory can
be cleared and restored to factory defaults by performing a Cold Reset or Restore Factory Defaults from
the control panel.
Hard-disk-drive memory
The MFP contains an internal hard disk drive (40GB or larger) that may retain data after the MFP is
powered off. The MFP also may contain additional optional compact flash storage, or an external EIO
hard disk. Data stored in these devices may be from incoming/outgoing fax or email files, stored copy
or print jobs, fax or email address books, or third-party solutions. Some of this data can be erased from
the control panel of the MFP, but most must be erased using the Secure Storage Erase features
available within HP Web Jetadmin. Secure Storage Erase features comply with U.S. Department of
Defense (DOD) specification 5220–22.M.

Safety statements
Laser safety
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 device 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
device 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 user guide may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
