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.

HP ePrint software
The HP ePrint software makes it easy to print from a Windows or Mac desktop or laptop computer to any HP
ePrint-capable printer. This software makes it easy to find HP ePrint-enabled printers that are registered to your
HP Connected account. The target HP printer can be located in the office or at locations across the globe.
● OS X: After installing the software, select File, Print, and then select the arrow next to PDF (in the bottom
left of the driver screen). Select HP ePrint.
For Windows, the HP ePrint software supports TCP/IP printing to local network printers on the network (LAN or
WAN) to products that support UPD PostScript®.
Windows and OS X both support IPP printing to LAN or WAN network-connected products that support ePCL.
Windows and OS X also both support printing PDF documents to public print locations and printing using HP
ePrint via email through the cloud.
NOTE: For Windows, the name of the HP ePrint Software print driver is HP ePrint + JetAdvantage.
NOTE: The HP ePrint software is a PDF workflow utility for OS X, and is not technically a print driver.
AirPrint
Direct printing using Apple’s AirPrint is supported for iOS and from Mac computers running OS X 10.7 Lion and
newer. Use AirPrint to print directly to the printer from an iPad, iPhone (3GS or later), or iPod touch (third

Introduction
This document explains how to enable and configure the Scan to Network Folder function. The printer has a
feature that enables it to scan a document and save it to a network folder. To use this scan feature, the printer
must be connected to a network; however, the feature is not available until it has been configured. There are two
methods for configuring Scan to Network Folder, the Save to Network Folder Setup Wizard for basic setup and
Save to Network Folder Setup for advanced setup.
Administrators need the following items before beginning the configuration process.
NOTE: The use of the term "server" in this context refers to the computer where the shared folder
resides.
2. Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it displays on the
printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS opens.
NOTE: If the web browser displays a message indicating that accessing the website might not be safe,
select the option to continue to the website. Accessing this website will not harm the computer.
NOTE: Before you begin: To display the printer's IP address or host name, touch the Information icon, and
then touch the Network icon on the printer's control panel.
1. Using the EWS top navigation tabs, click Scan/Digital Send tab. The Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick
Setup Wizards dialog opens.
2. In the left-navigation pane, click Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick Setup Wizards.
4. On the Add or Remove a Save to Network Folder Quick Set dialog, click Add.
NOTE: Quick Sets are short-cut jobs that can be accessed on the printer Home screen or within the Quick
Sets application.
NOTE: The Save to Network Folder feature can be minimally configured without creating a quick set.
However, without the quick set, users must enter the destination folder information at the control panel for
each scan job. A quick set is required to include Save to Network Folder metadata.
5. On the Add Folder Quick Set dialog, complete the following information:
b. In the Quick Set Description field, type a description explaining what the Quick Set will save.
c. Click Next.
a. In the UNC Folder Path field, type a folder path where the scan will go.
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.
b. From the Authentication Settings drop-down, select one of the following options:
NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered
in the corresponding fields, and the printer’s access to the folder must be verified by clicking
Verify Access.
TIP: 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.
d. Click Next.
7. On the Configure File Scan Settings dialog, set the default scanning preferences for the Quick Set, and then

then touch the Network icon on the printer's control panel.
2. On the left navigation menu, click the Scan to Network Folder Setup link.
1. On the Scan to Network Folder Setup page, select the Enable Scan to Network Folder check box. If this box
is not selected, the feature is unavailable at the printer control panel.
2. In the Scan to Network Folder area of the left navigation pane, click Quick Sets. Click Add to open the Quick
Sets Setup dialog.
NOTE: Quick Sets are short-cut jobs that can be accessed on the printer Home screen or within the Quick
Sets application.
NOTE: The Scan to Network Folder feature can be minimally configured without creating a quick set.
However, without the quick set, users must enter the destination folder information at the control panel for
each scan job. A quick set is required to include Scan to Network Folder metadata.
Complete all of the settings in the Quick Set Setup to fully configure the Scan to Network Folder feature.
Dialog one: Set the Quick Set name, description, and options for user interaction at the control panel
Use the Set the button location for the Quick Set and options for user interaction at the control panel dialog to
configure where the Quick Set button will display on the printer control panel and to configure the level of user
interaction at the printer control panel.
NOTE: Name the Quick Set something that users can understand quickly (e.g., "Scan and save to a
folder").
2. In the Quick Set Description field, type a description explaining what the Quick Set will save.
3. From the Quick Set Start Option list, select one of the following options:
○ Require Preview
NOTE: If Start instantly upon selection is selected, the destination folder must be entered in the
next step.
4. Click Next.
Use the Folder Settings dialog to configure the types of folders the printer sends scanned documents to.
To save scanned documents to a standard shared folder or an FTP folder, complete the following steps:
3. On the Add Network Folder Path dialog, select one of the following options:
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:
NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered
in the corresponding fields.
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.
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.
2. In the FTP Server field, type the FTP server name or IP address.
NOTE: In most cases, the default port number does not need to be changed.
5. To view the complete folder path for scanned documents, click Update Preview.
6. From the FTP Transfer Mode list, select one of the following options:
○ Passive
○ Active
To save scanned documents to a personal shared folder, complete the following steps:
NOTE: This option is used in domain environments where the administrator configures a shared folder for each

Some options are not available on all printers.
File Type and Resolution Save a scanned document as one of several types of files.
● 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:
Original Sides Specify whether the original document is printed on one side or both sides.
Scan Mode Standard Document: Scan a page or stack of pages through the document feeder, or individually on the
flatbed glass.
NOTE: This feature is not
available for all firmware Book Mode: Scan an open book and output each page of the book onto different pages.
versions. You might need to
update the printer firmware to 2-sided ID Copy: Scan each side of an identification card on the flatbed glass and output them onto one
use this feature. page. After scanning the first side, the printer prompts to place the second side in the correct position
on the glass.
Resolution Specify the resolution of scanned images. Select a higher resolution to increase the clarity of the
image. However, as the resolution increases, the file size also increases.
Original Size Specify the paper size for the original document.
Content Orientation Specify whether the original document is printed in Portrait or Landscape orientation.
Image Adjustment Sharpness: Clarify or soften the image. For example, increasing the sharpness could make text appear
crisper, but decreasing it could make photos appear smoother.
Darkness: Increase or decrease the amount of white and black used in colors in scanned images.
Contrast: Increase or decrease the difference between the lightest and the darkest color on the page.
Background Cleanup: Remove faint colors from the background of scanned images. For example, if the
original document is printed on colored paper, use this feature to lighten the background without
affecting the darkness of the image.
Automatic Tone: Available for Flow printers only. For original documents that have at least 100
characters of text on the page, the printer can detect which edge is the top of the page, and it orients
the scanned images appropriately. If some of the pages are upside-down in relation to the other
pages, the resulting scanned image has all pages right-side-up. If some of the pages have a landscape
orientation, the printer rotates the image so that the top of the page is at the top of the image.
Optimize Text/Picture Optimize the job for the type of image being scanned: text, graphics, or photos.
Erase Edges Remove blemishes, such as dark borders or staple marks, by cleaning the edges of the scanned image.
Cropping Options Crop to original size: Crop the image to match the paper size of the original document.
Crop to content: Crop the image to the size of the detectable content in the original document.
Blank Page Suppression Exclude blank pages in the original document from scanned images. This feature is useful for scanning
pages printed on both sides to eliminate blank pages in the resulting scanned document.
Multi-feed Detection Enable or disable multi-feed detection. When enabled, scanning stops when the printer detects more
than one page at a time being fed in the document feeder. When disabled, scanning continues when a
multi-feed is detected, to allow scanning pages that are stuck together, originals with self-adhesive
notes on them, or thick paper.
Create Multiple Files Divide a larger scan job into several smaller output files.
Notification Select whether to send notifications of the status of scan jobs. The printer can print the notification, or
it can send the notification in an email.

● Fax
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.
Line Monitor Volume Use the Line Monitor Volume setting to control the printer's dialing volume level when
sending faxes.
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.
● Fax
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.
Fax Header Use the Fax Header feature to control whether the header is appended to the top, and
content is shifted down, or if the header is overlayed on top of the previous header.
Receive Mode The Receive Mode setting determines how the fax accessory receives fax jobs. Select one
of the following options:
● Automatic
● TAM
● Fax/Tel
● Manual
Rings to Answer The Rings to Answer setting determines the number of times the phone rings before the
call is answered by the fax accessory.
NOTE: The default range for the available options for the Rings to Answer setting is
location-specific. The range of possible Rings to Answer options is limited by location.
If the fax accessory is not answering, and the Rings to Answer setting is 1, try increasing it
to 2.
Ring Volume Touch the Ring Volume drop-down menu and adjust the ringer volume settings.
Ring Volume The Ring Volume setting allows you to adjust the ringer volume.
Fax Receive Speed Touch the Fax Receive Speed drop down menu and select one of the following options:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
● 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.
● 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.

Introduction
Use the troubleshooting information to help resolve issues.
NOTE: To determine whether HP NFC and Wireless Print Direct printing are enabled on your printer, print a
configuration page from the printer control panel
● Verify that the printer and the wireless router are turned on and have power. Also make sure that the
wireless radio in the printer is turned on.
● Verify that the service set identifier (SSID) is correct. Print a configuration page to determine the SSID. If you
are not sure the SSID is correct, run the wireless setup again.
● With secured networks, verify that the security information is correct. If the security information is
incorrect, run the wireless setup again.
● If the wireless network is working correctly, try accessing other computers on the wireless network. If the
network has Internet access, try connecting to the Internet over a wireless connection.
● Verify that the encryption method (AES or TKIP) is the same for the printer as it is for the wireless access
point (on networks using WPA security).
● Verify that the printer is within the range of the wireless network. For most networks, the printer must be
within 30 m (100 ft) of the wireless access point (wireless router).
● Verify that obstacles do not block the wireless signal. Remove any large metal objects between the access
point and the printer. Make sure poles, walls, or support columns containing metal or concrete do not
separate the printer and wireless access point.
● Verify that the printer is located away from electronic devices that might interfere with the wireless signal.
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal including motors, cordless phones, security system
cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices.
● Verify that the computer and printer connect to the same wireless network.
The printer does not print after the wireless configuration completes
1. Make sure that the printer is turned on and in the ready state.
4. Make sure that your computer is working correctly. If necessary, restart the computer.
5. Verify that you can open the printer HP Embedded Web Server from a computer on the network.
The printer does not print, and the computer has a third-party firewall installed
1. Update the firewall with the most recent update available from the manufacturer.
2. If programs request firewall access when you install the printer or try to print, make sure you allow the
programs to run.
3. Temporarily turn off the firewall, and then install the wireless printer on the computer. Enable the firewall
when you have completed the wireless installation.
The wireless connection does not work after moving the wireless router or printer
1. Make sure that the router or printer connects to the same network that your computer connects to.
3. Compare the service set identifier (SSID) on the configuration page to the SSID in the printer configuration
for the computer.
4. If the numbers are not the same, the devices are not connecting to the same network. Reconfigure the
wireless setup for the printer.
2. Make sure that the printer is turned on and in the ready state.
3. Make sure there are not more than 5 concurrent Wireless Print Direct users.
6. Make sure that your computer is working correctly. If necessary, restart the computer.
● The network might be hidden. However, you can still connect to a hidden network.
2. To verify if the network has lost communication, try connecting other devices to the network.
● For Windows, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press Enter.
4. Make sure that the router or printer connects to the same network that the computer connects to.
b. Compare the service set identifier (SSID) on the configuration report to the SSID in the printer
configuration for the computer.
c. If the numbers are not the same, the devices are not connecting to the same network. Reconfigure
the wireless setup for the printer.
● Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other
electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones. These objects can disrupt radio
signals.
● Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures. These objects
can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.
● Position the wireless router in a central location in line of sight with the wireless printers on the network.
● 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?
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.
