Printer paper input traysRear paper input trayThe paper input tray located closest to the back of the printer can holdup to 125 sheets of 20 lb. paper or it can hold multiple envelopes.Front (single-sheet) paper input trayThe single-sheet paper input tray should be used when feeding singlepages or media such as envelopes. You can print the first page ondifferent media than the rest using the single-sheet paper input tray.NoteThe printer will automatically (priority feed) print from the single-sheetpaper input tray before printing from the paper input tray.Printer paper guidesBoth input trays have paper guides. Paper guides are used to ensurethe paper is correctly fed into the printer and that the print is notskewed (crooked text on the page). When loading paper, adjust thepaper guides to match the width of the paper being printed.ENPrinter components 5
Printer paper output pathsPaper output binThe paper output bin is located on the front of the printer. Printedpaper will be collected here in the correct sequence when the paperoutput lever is in the up position. Use the output bin when printinglarge, collated documents or when copying documents so that theoriginal is separated from the copies.Straight-through paper output pathThe straight through paper output path is useful when printingenvelopes, transparencies, heavy media, or anything that tends tocurl when printed. Printed paper will stack in reverse order with thepaper-output lever down.6 Chapter 1 Getting to know the printerEN
Printer doorOpen the printer door to access the toner cartridge, clear jams, andclean the printer. The printer door is located on the front of the printer.Open and close the printer door by firmly grasping the top left andright sides of the printer door and pulling it towards you.NoteENIf the scanner is attached, it may be necessary to move the printer tothe edge of your workstation before opening the printer door in orderto get the full range of motion.Printer components 7
Choosing paper and other mediaHP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. Youcan print on a variety of print media, such as paper (including up to100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels,transparencies, and custom-sized media. Properties such as weight,grain, and moisture content are important factors, affecting printerperformance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality,use only high-quality paper designed for laser printers. See “Printerpaper specifications” for detailed paper and media specifications.NoteAlways test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities.Your paper supplier should understand the requirements specified inthe HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper Specification Guide (HP partnumber 5021-8909). See “Printer paper specifications.” Maximum supported paper size: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.) Minimum supported paper size: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.)8 Chapter 1 Getting to know the printerEN
Loading paper into the printerPaper should be loaded with the top down and the side-to-be printedfacing forward. Always adjust the paper guides to prevent jams andskewing.CAUTIONAttempting to print on paper that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in anyway may cause a jam to occur. See “Printer paper specifications.”NoteAlways remove all paper from the paper input tray and straightenthe stack when new paper is added. This helps prevent multiplesheets of paper from feeding through the printer at one time andreduces paper jams. See the sticker which you placed on the printerwhile setting up the hardware.Specific types. . .EN Transparencies: Load transparencies with the top down and theside-to-be-printed facing toward the front of the printer. See“Printing transparencies.” Envelopes: Load with the narrow, stamp side down and the sideto-be-printed facing toward the front of the printer. See “Printingenvelopes.” Labels: Load with the top down and the side-to-be-printed facingtoward the front of the printer. See “Printing labels.” Letterhead: Load with the top down and the side-to-be-printedfacing toward the front of the printer. See “Printing letterhead.” Cards: Load with the narrow side down and the side-to-beprinted facing toward the front of the printer. See “Printing cards.”Loading paper into the printer 9
Turning the power offPrinters that require 100-127 volts of power must be unplugged toturn the power off. Printers that require 220-240 volts can be switchedoff (the switch is located on the left side of the power plug) orunplugged.NoteTo ensure safety when working inside the printer for any reason, it isbest to unplug the printer.Voltage conversionsHP LaserJet printers are manufactured to different specifications fordifferent countries. Because of these differences, HP does notrecommend transporting products sold within the United States toanother country.In addition to the concerns about the differing power system voltages,the country of final destination may have different import and exportrestrictions, power frequencies, and regulatory requirements.NoteThe HP LaserJet family printers must be serviced by an authorizedrepair depot or reseller within the country where the printer wasoriginally purchased.Because of the different specifications and warranty coveragelimitations, Hewlett-Packard does not offer a conversion, or supportthe conversion, of U.S. version HP LaserJet family printers for foreignuse. We advise those customers planning to transport equipmentoutside the United States to purchase the products in the country offinal destination.10 Chapter 1 Getting to know the printerEN
