1 HP Maintenance/Long Life Consumables (LLC) life specifications are estimations based on the LLC life test conditions listed below. Actual
individual life/yield during normal use varies depending on usage, environment, paper and other factors. Estimated life is not an implied
guarantee or warrantable.

The LLC life test conditions

● Print coverage: 5% evenly distributed across the page

● Environment: 17° to 25°C (62.6° to 77°F); 30%-70% relative humidity (RH)

● Media size: Letter/A4

● Media weight: 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain media

● Job size: 4 pages

● Short edge feed (A3) (i.e., Legal size media)

Factors that can reduce life from the conditions above:

● Media narrower than Letter/A4 widths (thermal slow downs equal more rotations)

● Paper heavier than 75 g/m2 (20 lb) (heavier media creates higher stress on printer components)

● Print jobs smaller than 4 image (smaller jobs mean more thermal cycling and more rotations)

Customer self-repair parts


The following parts are available for the printer.

● Parts listed as Mandatory self-replacement are to be installed by customers, unless you are willing to pay
HP service personnel to perform the repair. For these parts, on-site or return-to-depot support is not
provided under the HP product warranty.

● Parts listed as Optional self-replacement can be installed by HP service personnel at your request for no
additional charge during the product warranty period.

● Introduction

● Enable or disable the Cartridge Policy feature

● Enable or disable the Cartridge Protection feature

Introduction
Use HP Cartridge Policy and Cartridge Protection to control which cartridges are installed in the printer and
protect the cartridges that are installed from theft. These features are available with HP FutureSmart versions 3
and later.

● Cartridge Policy: This feature protects the printer from counterfeit toner cartridges by allowing only
genuine HP cartridges to be used with the printer. Using genuine HP cartridges ensures the best possible
print quality. When someone installs a cartridge that is not a genuine HP cartridge, the printer control panel
displays a message that the cartridge is unauthorized and it provides information explaining how to
proceed.

● Cartridge Protection: This feature permanently associates toner cartridges with a specific printer, or fleet of
printers, so they cannot be used in other printers. Protecting cartridges protects your investment. When
this feature is enabled, if someone attempts to transfer a protected cartridge from the original printer into
an unauthorized printer, that printer will not print with the protected cartridge. The printer control panel
displays a message that the cartridge is protected, and it provides information explaining how to proceed.

CAUTION: After enabling cartridge protection for the printer, all subsequent toner cartridges installed in
the printer are automatically and permanently protected. To avoid protecting a new cartridge, disable the
feature before installing the new cartridge.

Turning the feature off does not turn off protection for cartridges that are currently installed.

Both features are off by default. Follow these procedures to enable or disable them.

Replace the toner cartridge
This printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is low. The actual toner cartridge life remaining can vary. The
toner cartridge does not need to be replaced at this time. Consider having a replacement cartridge available to
install when print quality is no longer acceptable.

Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print
quality. To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back
and forth about its horizontal axis. For graphical representation, see cartridge replacement instructions. Reinsert
the toner cartridge into the printer and close the cover.

contact the email/Internet service provider or system administrator for the information. SMTP server
names and port names are typically found by doing an Internet search. For example, use terms like "Gmail
smtp server name" or "Yahoo smtp server name" to search.

● SMTP server authentication requirements for outgoing email messages, including the user name and
password used for authentication, if applicable.

\servername.us.companyname.net\scans) or the IP address of the server (e.g., \\16.88.20.20\scans).
Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP address.

NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP,
the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the
printer does not need to use DNS to find the destination server.

b. From the Authentication Settings drop-down, select one of the following options:

● Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel

● Always use these credentials

NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered

Configure the destination folder for scanned documents

Option 1: Shared folders or FTP folders

To save scanned documents to a standard shared folder or an FTP folder, complete the following steps:

1. If it is not already selected, select Save to shared folders or FTP folders.

2. Click Add.... The Add Network Folder Path dialog opens.

3. On the Add Network Folder Path dialog, select one of the following options:

● Option one: Save to a standard shared network folder

ENWW Set up Scan to Network Folder 99


NOTE: For more information about creating shared network folders see Set up a shared folder
(c04431534).

1. If it is not already selected, select Save to a standard shared network folder.

2. In the UNC Folder Path field, type a folder path.

The folder path can either be the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \
\servername.us.companyname.net\scans) or the IP address of the server (e.g., \
\16.88.20.20\scans). Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP address.

NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via
DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster
because the printer does not need to use DNS to find the destination server.

3. To automatically create a subfolder for scanned documents in the destination folder, select a
format for the subfolder name from the Custom Subfolder list.

To restrict the subfolder access to the user who creates the scan job, select Restrict subfolder
access to user.

4. To view the complete folder path for scanned documents, click Update Preview.

5. From the Authentication Settings list, select one of the following options:

○ Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel

○ Always use these credentials

NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered
in the corresponding fields.

6. In the Windows Domain field, type the Windows domain.

100 Chapter 6 Scan ENWW


NOTE: To find the Windows domain in Windows 7, click Start, click Control Panel, click System.

To find the Windows domain in Windows 8, click Search, enter System in the search box, and
then click System.

The domain is listed under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.

NOTE: If a shared folder is set to be accessed by everyone, values for a workgroup name
(default is “Workgroup”), a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding
fields. However, if the folder is within a particular user’s folders and not Public, the user name
and password of that user must be used.

NOTE: An IP address might be necessary instead of a computer name. Many home routers do
not handle computer names well, and there is no Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case, it is
best to set up a static IP address on the shared PC to alleviate the problem of DHCP assigning a
new IP address. On a typical home router, this is done by setting a static IP address that is on
the same subnet, but outside the DHCP address range.

7. Click OK.

● Option two: Save to an FTP Server

NOTE: If an FTP site is outside the firewall, a proxy server must be specified under the network
settings These settings are located in the EWS Networking tab, under the Advanced options.

1. Select Save to an FTP Server.

2. In the FTP Server field, type the FTP server name or IP address.

3. In the Port field, type the port number.

NOTE: In most cases, the default port number does not need to be changed.

Additional options when scanning
The following settings are available in the Options list when scanning.

NOTE: The following list contains the master set of options available for HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP printers.
Some options are not available on all printers.

File Type and Resolution Save a scanned document as one of several types of files.

The following standard file types are available:

● PDF: This file type provides the best overall image and text quality. PDF files require Adobe®
Acrobat® Reader software for viewing.

● JPEG: This file type is a good choice for most graphics. Most computers have a browser that can
view .JPEG files. This file type produces one file per page.

● TIFF: This is a standard file type that many graphics programs support. This file type produces
one file per page.

● MTIFF: MTIFF stands for multi-page TIFF. This file type saves multiple scanned pages in a single
file.

● XPS: XPS (XML Paper Specification) creates an XAML file that preserves the original formatting of
the document and supports color graphics and embedded fonts.

● PDF/A: PDF/A is a type of PDF designed for long-term archival of electronic documents. All format
information in the document is self-contained.

HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP printers or MFP printers that are connected to a digital send software
(DSS) server also support the following OCR file types:

● Text (OCR): Text (OCR) creates a text file by using optical character recognition (OCR) to scan the
original. A text file can be opened in any word processing program. The formatting of the original
will not be saved using this option.

● Unicode Text (OCR): Unicode Text (OCR) is an industry standard used to consistently represent
and manipulate text. This file type is useful for internationalization and localization.

● RTF (OCR): RTF (OCR) creates a rich text format (RTF) file by using optical character recognition
(OCR) to scan the original. RTF is an alternative text format that can be opened by most word
processing programs. Some of the formatting of the original will be saved using this option.

● Searchable PDF (OCR): Searchable PDF (OCR) creates a searchable PDF file by using optical
character recognition (OCR) to scan the original. When a document is scanned in this way, use
Adobe Acrobat® Reader's search tools to search for specific words or phrases within the PDF.

● Searchable PDF/A (OCR): Searchable PDF/A (OCR) is a type of PDF/A file that includes information
about the document structure, which allows content to be searched.

● HTML (OCR): HTML (OCR) creates a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file containing the
contents of the original document. HTML is used to display files on Web sites.

● CSV (OCR): CSV (OCR) is common text file format that contains comma-separated values. This
type of file can be opened by most word processing, spreadsheet, or database programs.

MFP printers that are connected to a DSS server also support the following OCR file types for digital
send jobs:

● XML (OCR): DESCRIPTION NEEDED.

Settings icon to open the menu.

2. Open the following menus:

● Fax

● Fax Send Settings

● Fax Dialing Settings

Configure any of the following settings:

Menu item Description

Redial on Error The Redial on Error feature sets the number of times a fax number will be redialed when an
error occurs during a fax transmission.

Redial on No Answer The Redial on No Answer setting selects the number of times the fax accessory redials if
the number dialed does not answer. The number of retries is either 0 to 1 (used in the U.S.)
or 0 to 2, depending on the location setting. The interval between retries is set by the redial
interval setting.

Redial on Busy The Redial on Busy setting selects the number of times (0 through 9) the fax accessory
redials a number when the number is busy. The interval between retries is set by the Redial
Interval setting.

Redial Interval The Redial Interval setting selects the number of minutes between retries if the number
dialed is busy or not answering, or if an error occurs.

NOTE: You might observe a redial message on the control panel when both the Redial on
Busy and Redial on No Answer settings are set to off. This occurs when the fax accessory
dials a number, establishes a connection, and then loses the connection. As a result of this
error condition, the fax accessory performs three automatic redial attempts regardless of
the redial settings. During this redial operation, a message displays on the control panel to
indicate that a redial is in progress.

Fax Send Speed The Fax Send Speed setting sets the modem bit rate (measured in bits per second) of the
Analog Fax modem while sending a fax.

● Fast (v.34 – 33.6k)

● Medium (v.17 – 14.4k)

● Slow (v.29 – 9.6k)

Line Monitor Volume Use the Line Monitor Volume setting to control the printer's dialing volume level when
sending faxes.

ENWW Change fax configurations 137


Menu item Description

Dialing Mode The Dialing Mode setting sets the type of dialing that is used: either tone (touch-tone
phones) or pulse (rotary-dial phones).

Dialing Prefix The Dialing Prefix setting allows you to enter a prefix number (such as a "9" to access an
outside line) when dialing. This prefix number is automatically added to all phone numbers
when dialed.

Detect dial tone The Detect dial tone setting determines whether the fax checks for a dial tone before
sending a fax.

General fax send settings


1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, swipe until the Settings menu displays. Touch the
Settings icon to open the menu.

2. Open the following menus:

● Fax

● Fax Send Settings

● General Fax Send Settings

Configure any of the following settings:

Menu item Description

Fax Number Confirmation When the Fax Number Confirmation feature is enabled, the fax number must be entered
twice to ensure that it was entered correctly. The feature is disabled by default.

PC Fax Send Use the PC Fax Send feature to send faxes from a PC. This feature is enabled by default.

Error Correction Mode Normally, the fax accessory monitors the signals on the telephone line while it is sending or
receiving a fax. If the fax accessory detects an error during the transmission and the Error
Correction Mode setting is on, the fax accessory can request that the error portion of the
fax be sent again.

The Error Correction Mode feature is enabled by default. You should turn it off only if you
are having trouble sending or receiving a fax and if you are willing to accept the errors in
the transmission and a probable quality reduction in the image. Turning off the setting
might be useful when you are trying to send a fax overseas or receive one from overseas,
or if you are using a satellite telephone connection.

NOTE: Some VoIP providers might suggest turning off the Error Correction Mode setting.
However, this is not usually necessary.

A “Cartridge is low” or “Cartridge is very low” message displays on
the printer control panel
Cartridge is low: The printer indicates when a toner cartridge level is low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining
may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner
cartridge does not need to be replaced now.

Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print
quality. To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back
and forth about its horizontal axis. For graphical representation, see cartridge replacement instructions. Reinsert
the toner cartridge into the printer and close the cover.

Cartridge is very low: The printer indicates when the toner cartridge level is very low. Actual toner cartridge life
remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer
acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer
acceptable.

Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has
ended.

Change the “Very Low” settings


You can change the way the printer reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to re-
establish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.

1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, scroll to and select Settings.

2. Open the following menus:

● Manage Supplies

● Very Low Behavior

● Black Cartridge or Color Cartridges

3. Select one of the following options:

threshold.

● Select the Prompt to continue option to set the printer to stop printing when the cartridge reaches the
Very Low threshold. You can acknowledge the prompt or replace the cartridge to resume printing.

● Select the Continue option to set the printer to alert you that the cartridge is very low, and to continue
printing beyond the Very Low setting without interaction. This can result in unsatisfactory print
quality.

For printers with fax capability


When the printer is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when
the printer resumes printing. This can occur if the printer has received more faxes than the memory can hold
while the printer is waiting.

The printer can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the Continue
option for the toner cartridge, but print quality might degrade.

Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds
Introduction
The following solutions can help solve problems if the printer is not picking up paper from the tray or is picking
up multiple sheets of paper at one time. Either of these situations can result in paper jams.

● The printer does not pick up paper

● The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper

● The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper

The printer does not pick up paper


If the printer does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.

1. Open the printer and remove any jammed sheets of paper. Verify that no torn remnants of paper remain
inside the printer.

2. Load the tray with the correct size of paper for the job.

3. Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.

ENWW Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds 171


4. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the
appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the marking on
the tray.

NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or
markings in the tray.

The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most
HP printers have markings similar to these.

Figure 9-1 Size markings for Tray 1 or the multipurpose tray

Figure 9-2 Size markings for cassette trays

172 Chapter 9 Solve problems ENWW


5. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer and that paper is being stored in
unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.

In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might
have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.

In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this
happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the
ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the
stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static
electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.

Figure 9-3 Technique for flexing the paper stack

6. Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper,
and continue.

7. The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with
warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.

CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth
in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.

The following image shows examples of the roller location for various printers.

Figure 9-4 Roller locations for Tray 1 or the multipurpose tray

The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper


If the printer picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.

1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray and flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and flip it over. Do not fan the
paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.

ENWW Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds 173


NOTE: Fanning the paper introduces static electricity. Instead of fanning the paper, flex the stack by
holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse
the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases
individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before
returning it to the tray.

2. Use only paper that meets HP specifications for this printer.

3. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer, and that paper is being stored in
unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.

In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might
have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.

In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this
happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack as described above.

4. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.

174 Chapter 9 Solve problems ENWW


5. Make sure the tray is not overfilled by checking the stack-height markings inside the tray. If it is overfilled,
remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten the stack, and then return some of the paper to
the tray.

The following images show examples of the stack-height markings in the trays for various printers. Most
HP printers have markings similar to these. Also make sure that all sheets of paper are below the tabs near
the stack-height marks. These tabs help hold the paper in the correct position as it enters the printer.

The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper
NOTE: This information applies to MFP printers only.

● The original might have something on it, such as staples or self-adhesive notes, that must be removed.

● Check that all rollers are in place and that the roller-access cover inside the document feeder is closed.

● Make sure that the top document-feeder cover is closed.

● The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the paper guides to center the
stack.

● The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work correctly. Make sure that the paper
stack is straight and the guides are against the paper stack.

● The document feeder input tray or output bin might contain more than the maximum number of pages.
Make sure the paper stack fits below the guides in the input tray, and remove pages from the output bin.

● Verify that there are no pieces of paper, staples, paper clips, or other debris in the paper path.

● Clean the document-feeder rollers and the separation pad. Use compressed air or a clean, lint-free cloth
moistened with warm water. If misfeeds still occur, replace the rollers.

● From the Home screen on the printer control panel, scroll to and touch the Supplies button. Check the
status of the document-feeder kit, and replace it if necessary.

● Check the paper-type setting for the print job

● Check toner-cartridge status

● Print a cleaning page

● Visually inspect the toner cartridge

● Check paper and the printing environment

● Try a different print driver

● Check the EconoMode settings

● Adjust print density

If the printer is having print-quality problems, try the following solutions in the order presented to resolve the
issue.

Print from a different software program


Try printing from a different software program. If the page prints correctly, the problem is with the software
program from which you were printing.

Check the paper-type setting for the print job


Check the paper type setting when printing from a software program and the printed pages have smears, fuzzy
or dark print, curled paper, scattered dots of toner, loose toner, or small areas of missing toner.

Check the paper type setting (Windows)


1. From the software program, select the Print option.

2. Select the printer, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.

3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.

4. From the Paper Type drop-down list, click the More... option.

5. Expand the list of Type is: options.

6. Expand the category of paper types that best describes your paper.

7. Select the option for the type of paper you are using, and click the OK button.

8. Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the Print dialog box, click the OK button
to print the job.

ENWW Improve print quality 203


Check the paper type setting (OS X)
1. Click the File menu, and then click the Print option.

2. In the Printer menu, select the printer.

3. By default, the print driver displays the Copies & Pages menu. Open the menus drop-down list, and then
click the Finishing menu.

4. Select a type from the Media Type drop-down list.

5. Click the Print button.

Check toner-cartridge status


Follow these steps to check the estimated life remaining in the toner cartridges and if applicable, the status of
other replaceable maintenance parts.

Step one: Print the supplies status page

1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Reports menu.

2. Select the Configuration/Status Pages menu.

3. Select Supplies Status Page, and then select Print to print the page.

Step two: Check supplies status

1. Look at the supplies status report to check the percent of life remaining for the toner cartridges and, if
applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.

Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The
supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very low
threshold, HP’s premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.

The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.

If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the
supplies status page lists the genuine HP part numbers.

2. Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.

A genuine HP toner cartridge has the word “HP” on it, or has the HP logo on it. For more information on
identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies.

Print a cleaning page


During the printing process paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer and can cause
print-quality issues such as toner specks or spatter, smears, streaks, lines, or repeating marks.

Follow these steps to clean the printer's paper path.

1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Support Tools menu.

2. Select the following menus:

204 Chapter 9 Solve problems ENWW


● Maintenance

● Calibration/Cleaning

● Cleaning Page

3. Select Print to print the page.

A Cleaning... message displays on the printer control panel. The cleaning process takes a few minutes to
complete. Do not turn the printer off until the cleaning process has finished. When it is finished, discard the
printed page.

Visually inspect the toner cartridge


Follow these steps to inspect each toner cartridge.

1. Remove the toner cartridges from the printer, and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.

2. Check the memory chip for damage.

3. Examine the surface of the green imaging drum.

CAUTION: Do not touch the imaging drum. Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality
problems.

4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.

5. Reinstall the toner cartridge, and print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.

Check paper and the printing environment


Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.

● Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.

● Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids,
staples, and curled or bent edges.

● Use paper that has not been previously printed on.

● Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.

● Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in Inkjet
printers.

● Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

Step two: Check the environment


The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding
issues. Try the following solutions:

● Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.

● Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications.

● Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet.

ENWW Improve print quality 205


● Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.

● Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all sides,
including the top.

● Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the printer.

Step three: Set the individual tray alignment


Follow these steps when text or images are not centered or aligned correctly on the printed page when printing
from specific trays.

1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Settings menu.

2. Select the following menus:

● Copy/Print or Print

● Print Quality

● Image Registration

3. Select Tray, and then select the tray to adjust.

4. Select Print Test Page, and then follow the instructions on the printed pages.

5. Select Print Test Page again to verify the results, and then make further adjustments if necessary.

6. Select Done to save the new settings.

Try a different print driver


Try a different print driver when printing from a software program and the printed pages have unexpected lines
in graphics, missing text, missing graphics, incorrect formatting, or substituted fonts.

Download any of the following drivers from the HP Web site: www.hp.com/support/ljM631MFP, www.hp.com/
support/ljM632MFP, or www.hp.com/support/ljM633MFP.

HP PCL.6 driver ● Provided as the default driver on the printer CD. This driver is automatically installed
unless you select a different one.
HP PCL 6 driver
● Recommended for all Windows environments
HP PCL-6 driver
● Provides the overall best speed, print quality, and printer-feature support for most
users

use with multiple printer models

● Preferred when printing to multiple printer models from a mobile Windows computer

HP UPD PCL 6 ● Recommended for printing in all Windows environments

● Provides the overall best speed, print quality, and printer feature support for most
users

● Developed to align with Windows Graphic Device Interface (GDI) for best speed in
Windows environments

● Might not be fully compatible with third-party and custom software programs that
are based on PCL 5

Check the EconoMode settings


HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might
outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable,
consider replacing the toner cartridge.

NOTE: This feature is available with the PCL 6 print driver for Windows. If you are not using that driver, you can
enable the feature by using the HP Embedded Web Server.

Follow these steps if the entire page is too dark or too light.

1. From the software program, select the Print option.

2. Select the printer, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.

3. Click the Paper/Quality tab, and locate the Print Quality area.

Solve fax problems
● Checklist for solving fax problems

● General fax problems

Checklist for solving fax problems


Use the following checklist to help identify the cause of any fax-related problems you encounter:

● Are you using the fax cable supplied with the fax accessory? This fax accessory has been tested with the
supplied fax cable to meet RJ11 and functional specifications. Do not substitute another fax cable; the
analog-fax accessory requires an analog-fax cable. It also requires an analog phone connection.

● Is the fax/phone line connector seated in the outlet on the fax accessory? Make sure that the phone jack is
correctly seated in the outlet. Insert the connector into the outlet until it "clicks."

NOTE: Verify that the phone jack is connected to the fax port rather than to the network port. The ports
are similar.

● Is the phone wall jack working properly? Verify that a dial tone exists by attaching a phone to the wall jack.
Can you hear a dial tone, and can you make or receive a phone call?

What type of phone line are you using?


● Dedicated line: A standard analog fax/phone line assigned to receive or send faxes.

NOTE: The phone line should be for printer fax use only and not shared with other types of telephone
devices. Examples include alarm systems that use the phone line for notifications to a monitoring
company.

● PBX system: A business-environment phone system. Standard home phones and the fax accessory use an
analog phone signal. Some PBX systems are digital and might not be compatible with the fax accessory.
You might need an interfacing Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) to connect the fax machine to digital PBX
systems.

● Roll-over lines: A phone system feature where a new call "rolls over" to the next available line when the
first incoming line is busy. Try attaching the printer to the first incoming phone line. The fax accessory
answers the phone after it rings the number of times set in the rings-to-answer setting.

Are you using a surge-protection device?


A surge-protection device can be used between the wall jack and the fax accessory to protect the fax accessory
against electrical power passed through the phone lines. These devices can cause some fax communication
problems by degrading the quality of the phone signal. If you are having problems sending or receiving faxes
and are using one of these devices, connect the printer directly to the phone jack on the wall to determine
whether the problem is with the surge-protection device.

Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering machine?


If the rings-to-answer setting for the messaging service is lower than the rings-to-answer setting for the fax
accessory, the messaging service answers the call, and the fax accessory cannot receive faxes. If the rings-to-
answer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service, the fax accessory answers all
calls.

ENWW Solve fax problems 233


Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?
If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in
progress, which causes a communication error. Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on the fax
telephone line.

Check fax accessory status


If the analog-fax accessory does not appear to be functioning, print a Configuration Page report to check the
status.

1. From the Home screen, scroll to and select Reports.

2. Open the following menus:

● Configuration/Status Pages

● Configuration Page

3. Touch the Print button to print the report, or touch the View button to view the report on the screen. The
report consists of several pages.

NOTE: The printer IP address or host name is listed on the Jetdirect Page.

On the Fax Accessory Page of the Configuration Page, under the Hardware Information heading, check the
Modem Status. The following table identifies the status conditions and possible solutions.

NOTE: If the Fax Accessory Page does not print, there might be a problem with the analog fax accessory. If you
are using LAN fax or Internet fax, those configurations could be disabling the feature.

Operational / Enabled1 The analog-fax accessory is installed and ready.

Operational / Disabled1 The fax accessory is installed, but you have not configured the
required fax settings yet.

The fax accessory is installed and operational; however, the


HP Digital Sending utility has either disabled the printer fax feature
or has enabled LAN fax. When LAN fax is enabled, the analog-fax
feature is disabled. Only one fax feature, either LAN fax or analog
fax, can be enabled at a time.

NOTE: If LAN fax is enabled, the Scan to Fax feature is unavailable


on the printer control panel.

Non-Operational / Enabled/Disabled1 The printer has detected a firmware failure. Upgrade the firmware.

Damaged / Enabled/Disabled1 The fax accessory has failed. Reseat the fax accessory card and
check for bent pins. If the status is still DAMAGED, replace the
analog-fax accessory card.
1 ENABLED indicates that the analog-fax accessory is enabled and turned on; DISABLED indicates that LAN fax is enabled (analog fax is
turned off).
