Print-media specifications

This section contains information about specifications for the quality of print media, guidelines for print media usage, and guidelines for print media storage.

General guidelines

Some print media might meet all of the guidelines in this manual and still not produce satisfactory results. This problem might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

Before purchasing large quantities of print media, always test a sample and make sure that the print media meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in the

HP LaserJet Printer Family

Print Media Guide

.

CAUTION

Using print media that does not meet HP specifications can cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.

CAUTION

Use only paper designed for laser printers. Paper for inkjet printers may damage the printer.

This printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled-fibercontent paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, HP LaserJet glossy paper, HP LaserJet Tough paper, HP LaserJet Photo paper, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer performance and output quality.

Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this manual can cause the following problems:

Poor print quality

Increased jams

Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

Printing and storage environment

Ideally, the printing and media-storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or too humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.

Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets.

Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can distort. This issue can cause jams.

As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation and print quality.

Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be easily used in a short time (about three months). Paper stored for long periods can experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to a large supply of paper.

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environmental damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.

The media-storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum printer performance. The recommended condition is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of

45% to 55%. The following guidelines should be helpful when evaluating the paper's storage environment:

Print media should be stored at or near room temperature.

The air should not be too dry or too humid (to moderate the hygroscopic properties of paper).

The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day's operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Avoid storing paper and print media near heating and air conditioning vents or near windows and doors that are frequently open.

Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed from Tray 1 or Tray 2. Select the type of envelope that you are using from the

Print

dialog box or the printer driver.

10 Chapter 1 Printer basics ENWW

ENWW

In your program, set the margins for the envelope. The following table gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope.

Type of address

Return address

Delivery address

Top margin

15 mm (0.6 inch)

51 mm (2 inches)

Left margin

15 mm (0.6 inch)

89 mm (3.5 inches)

For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inch) from the edges of the envelope.

Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet.

Envelope storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope and creates an air bubble, then the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

Envelope construction

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

Weight:

The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m 2 (24 lb) or jamming might occur.

Construction:

Before printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) curl, and should not contain air.

Condition:

Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, stuck together, or otherwise damaged.

Never use envelopes that have clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials.

Temperature:

Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer. This printer's fusing temperature is 210°C (410°F).

Size:

Use only envelopes that are within the following size ranges.

Tray

Tray 1 or Tray 2

Minimum Maximum

76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) 216 x 356 mm

(8.5 x 14 inches)

Envelopes with double side-seams

Double side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as indicated in the following illustration.

Print-media specifications 11

Acceptable

Unacceptable

Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives that are compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and might damage the fuser.

CAUTION

Failure to follow the guidelines above can result in jams.

For instructions on loading envelopes, see

Loading Tray 1 on page 21 or

Loading Trays 2 and 3 on page 23 .

Labels

Select the type of label that you are using from the

Print

dialog box or the printer driver.

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels that are recommended for laser printers. To prevent serious jams, always use Tray 1 or Tray 2 to print on labels. Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or print on a partial sheet of labels.

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

Adhesives:

The adhesive material should be stable at 210°C (410°F), which is the printer fusing temperature.

Arrangement:

Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

Curl:

Before printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any direction.

Condition:

Do not use labels that have wrinkles, bubbles, other indications of separation, or are damaged in any way.

For instructions on loading labels, see

Loading Tray 1 on page 21 or

Loading Trays 2 and 3 on page 23 .

Transparencies

Use only Tray 1 or Tray 2 to print on transparencies. Select

Transparencies

from the

Print

dialog box or the printer driver.

The printer supports printing on color transparencies. Use only transparencies that are recommended for use in laser printers.

Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the printer.

Transparencies that are used in the printer must be able to withstand 210°C (410°F), which is the printer fusing temperature.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the printer, use only transparencies that are recommended for use in laser printers.

Transparent print media that is not designed for LaserJet printing will melt in the printer, and will damage the printer.

HP LaserJet glossy paper and HP LaserJet Photo paper

Handle HP LaserJet glossy paper and HP LaserJet Photo paper by the edges. Oil from your fingers that is deposited on HP LaserJet glossy paper and HP LaserJet Photo paper can cause print-quality problems.

Use only HP LaserJet glossy paper and HP LaserJet Photo paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results.

Letterhead or preprinted forms

Avoid using raised or embossed letterhead.

Avoid using letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.

The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the print media. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (210°C (410°

F) for 0.1 second).

For instructions on loading letterhead, see

Loading Tray 1 on page 21

and

Loading Trays 2 and 3 on page 23

HP LaserJet Tough paper

When printing on HP LaserJet Tough paper, follow these guidelines:

Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper by the edges. Oil from your fingers that is deposited on

HP LaserJet Tough paper can cause print-quality problems.

Use only HP LaserJet Tough paper with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results.

Print-media specifications 13

Custom-sized print media or cardstock

Postcards, 3 x 5-inch (index) cards, and other custom-sized print media can be printed on from

Managing supplies

For warranty information about these supplies, see Print Cartridge Limited Warranty Statement on page 235 .

Supplies life

The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at approximately 5% coverage, a cyan, magenta, or yellow print cartridge for the HP Color LaserJet

2605 Series printers lasts an average of 2,000 pages, and a black print cartridge lasts an average of

2,500 pages. A typical business letter has 5% coverage.

Checking and ordering supplies

You can check the supplies status by using the printer control panel, printing a Supplies Status page, or viewing the HP ToolboxFX. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you place an order for a replacement print cartridge when you first receive the Low message for a print cartridge. For typical use, the Order message indicates that approximately two weeks of life remain. When you use a new, authentic HP print cartridge, you can obtain the following types of supplies information:

Amount of toner remaining

Estimated number of pages remaining

Number of pages printed

Other supplies information

NOTE

If the printer is connected to the network, you can set the HP ToolboxFX to notify you by e-mail when a print cartridge is low or is near the end of its useful life. If the printer is directly connected to a computer, you can set HP ToolboxFX to notify you when supplies are low.

To check status and order using the control panel

Cartridge out override

What is it?

The HP Color LaserJet 2605 Series printers display an

ORDER SUPPLIES

message when a cartridge is running low and a

REPLACE SUPPLIES

message when a cartridge has been depleted.

To ensure optimal print quality, HP recommends replacing a cartridge when the

REPLACE

SUPPLIES

message is displayed. Replacing the cartridge at this point can help prevent waste of media or other cartridges when one cartridge produces poor print quality.

The Cartridge Out Override feature allows the printer to continue using a cartridge that has reached the recommended replacement point.

WARNING!

Using Override may result in unsatisfactory print quality and unavailability of certain features (such as toner remaining information).

WARNING!

All print defects or supply failures incurred when an HP supply is used in

58 Chapter 4 Operational theory ENWW

Image formation system

The image formation system serves as the nerve center of the printer and forms a toner image on paper. It is controlled by the DC controller. The DC controller controls the laser/scanner unit and the high-voltage power supply PCA to form an image on paper according to the VIDEO signals (VDO, /

VDO) upon reception of a print command from the formatter. There is a memory tag inside each cartridge. The memory tags read and write data according to the command from the DC controller.

The following figure illustrates the image formation system.

Image formation system

60 Chapter 4 Operational theory ENWW

Image formation process

ENWW

Figure 4-3

Image formation process

Image formation system 61

The principal process of image formation is described here. The print process can be broadly divided into five stages with seven steps. A toner image is formed on paper as it goes through each process.

The following figure illustrates the stages and steps of the print process as follows.

1.

Electrostatic latent image formation stage

Forms an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum.

Step 1: Primary charging

Step 2: Laser beam exposure

2.

Developing stage

Makes the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum surface visible by applying toner.

Step 3: Development

3.

Transfer stage

Transfers a toner image on the photosensitive drum onto paper.

Step 4: Transfer

Step 5: Separation

4.

Fuser stage

Fuses the toner image on paper.

Step 6: Fuser

5.

ETB cleaning stage

Cleans the residual toner on the photosensitive drum.

Step 7: ETB cleaning

Latent image formation

This stage consists of two steps and forms an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum.

When the last step in this stage is completed, a negative electrical charge remains in the unexposed drum surface area by the laser beam and is removed from the exposed area. The image with negative charge on the drum is called an “electrostatic latent image”, and it is invisible to the human eye.

62 Chapter 4 Operational theory ENWW

Figure 4-4

Latent image formation

Laser/scanner system

The laser/scanner system forms latent images on the photosensitive drum according to the VIDEO signals sent from the formatter. It consists of the laser driver PCA, the scanner motor, and so forth.

The figure below illustrates the laser/scanner unit.

ENWW

Figure 4-5

Laser beam exposure

Developing stage

The electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum surface is visualized by applying the toner in this process. This printer utilizes the projection development method by the non-magnetic, singlecomponent toner.

Image formation system 63

Figure 4-6

Developing stage

The toner has an insulating property and has negative charge potential from friction with the rotating developing cylinder and the developing blade surface.

The area of the photosensitive drum, where the laser beam is exposed, has higher potential than the toner, which is charged negatively on the cylinder. When this area contacts the toner layer

(negatively charged), the toner jumps onto the drum surface by the potential difference between the drum surface and the cylinder (higher potential on drum side). This is called the projection development and it visualizes the electrostatic latent image on the drum. The developing cylinder is applied the AC bias in order to make the toner jump easier onto the drum surface and improve the contrast of the output image.

This printer is able to adjust the image density by changing the potential difference between the cylinder and the photosensitive drum surface according to changes of the developing DC bias based on the IMAGE DENSITY INFORMATION signal sent from the formatter.

The developing sheet improves the print quality and also prevents toner from scattering.

Print cartridge

The cartridge forms a visible toner image on the photosensitive drum. There are four print cartridges: magenta (M), cyan (C), yellow (Y), and black (K).

64 Chapter 4 Operational theory ENWW

ENWW

Figure 4-7

Print cartridge structure

Transfer belt (ETB)

The ETB unit feeds paper as well as transfers toner onto the paper.

The ETB unit consists of the ETB, ETB feed roller, ETB driven roller, and color misregistration/ density sensor unit.

As the main motor rotates the ETB feed roller, the ETB feed roller rotates the ETB belt. The transfer roller and the ETB driven roller are engaged with the ETB.

During printing, the picked up paper is conveyed in between the ETB and the photosensitive drum, and simultaneously the toner image is transferred onto the paper. The ETB is also used for color misregistration corrective control and the image stabilization control. The pattern image for the color misregistration or image density determination is transferred onto the belt. This pattern image is read in the color misregistration/density sensor unit.

The following is the diagrammatic sketch of the ETB unit.

Image formation system 65

Figure 4-8

ETB unit

Transfer stage

The transfer stage is to transfer the toner image on the photosensitive drum surface onto paper.

Figure 4-9

Transfer stage

66 Chapter 4 Operational theory ENWW

The toner on the photosensitive drum surface is transferred onto the paper according to the positive charge from the back side of the paper. Each color’s toner image is transferred in order of M, C, Y, and K, and forms one toner image overlaying one color’s image on another.

Separation stage

Figure 4-10

Separation stage

The paper is separated from the drum by its elasticity (Curvature Separation). The static charge on the back side of the paper is decreased with the electrostatic eliminator in order to stablize the feeding operation and prevent the crescent spots of printing image under the low temperature and low humidity environment.

Fusing stage

The toner image transferred onto the paper through the transfer stage can be smeared easily because it is only attracted to the paper by the static electricity. In the fusing stage, the printer used heat and pressure to make the image permanent.

ENWW

Figure 4-11

Fusing stage

The toner image is fused onto the paper by using the on-demand fuser method in this step. This printer utilizes the ceramic heater with lower heat capacity, which warms up quickly, does not require the power supply during STBY mode, and saves energy. The printer applies the DC positive bias to

Image formation system 67

the fuser pressure roller so that the transferred toner stays on the paper and toner scattering (offset) is prevented.

68 Chapter 4 Operational theory ENWW

Pickup and feed system

The pickup and feed system, which picks up and feeds paper, consists of the various feed rollers.

This printer has two pickup sources: the cassette and the single-sheet priority feed slot, and one delivery source: the face-down tray. The following components are part of the pickup and feed system:

Manual feed slot paper sensor (SR3): detects the presence of paper in the single-sheet priority feed slot

Cassette paper sensor (SR2): detects the presence of paper in the cassette

DC controller controls the following to drive each feed roller:

Main motor (M1)

Fuser/delivery motor (M2)

Pickup motor (M3)

Solenoid (SL1)

Solenoid (SL2)

Solenoid (SL3)

Photo sensors:

SR1, SR4, and SR5 on the paper transport path detect the arrival and passage of paper

SR9 detects the fuser pressure roller alienation in the fuser

SR8 detects the paper width

The figure below illustrates the motors, solenoids, and sensors.

NOTE

There is a short pause before the paper is picked up.

Manual feed slot pickup mechanism

This mechanism picks up one sheet of paper only that is inserted into the single-sheet priority feed slot and then into the printer. This printer does not have a pickup roller in the single-sheet priority feed slot. Instead of a pickup roller, the registration roller picks up paper. The presence of paper in the single-sheet priority feed slot is detected by the single-sheet priority feed slot paper sensor

(SR3). The following is the operational sequence of the single-sheet priority feed slot pickup.

1.

If paper is set into the single-sheet priority feed slot during STBY mode, the single-sheet priority feed slot paper sensor (SR3) detects it.

2.

When the paper is detected, the DC controller drives the pickup motor (M3) for 5 seconds. The paper is fed approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) and is then caught by the registration roller.

3.

After the above operational sequence, the paper is fed by the drive of the registration roller.

Paper feed mechanism

This mechanism feeds one sheet of picked up paper to the fuser. There is a paper width sensor in the paper transport path to prevent temperature rise at the end of the fuser. It detects paper with widths of shorter than 190 mm (7.5 inches). The following is the operational sequence of paper feed.

1.

Paper skew is corrected by the registration shutter when the paper is fed into the printer.

2.

Toner is transfered to the paper from the photosensitive drum and then the paper is fed to the fuser/delivery stage.

Skew correction by the registration shutter

If the paper fed into the printer is skewed, it will be adjusted when it hits the registration shutter.

Figure 4-13 Skew correction on page 72 illustrates how the registration shutter corrects skewed

paper.

Skew correction

Jam detection

This printer is provided with the following paper detection sensors to detect the presence of paper and whether or not the paper feed is operating normally.

Registration paper sensor (SR1)

Pre-fuser paper sensor (SR5)

Fuser delivery paper sensor (SR4)

The CPU determines a paper jam by checking whether or not paper is present at the sensor at the check timing. The check timing is stored in the memory of the CPU. If the CPU determines a jam, it stops the print operation and notifies the formatter of a jam occurrence.

For more information, see Clearing jams on page 142 .

Paper-pickup feeder unit

Duplexing mechanism

The duplexing mechanism feeds paper to the reversing unit after the first side is printed, and then it returns the paper to the duplexing feed unit so that the print side of the paper is reversed for secondside printing.

The duplexing driver controls the duplexing feed motor (M6) and the reverse motor (M7), which drives each feed roller of the duplexing feed unit. It also controls the reverse solenoid (SL5), which drives the duplexing deflector.

The top cover can be opened to remove jams in the reverse unit. The top cover open sensor (SR7) is used for open/close detection. After clearing a jam in the duplexing mechanism, open the front door to make sure there are no jams in other areas.

The paper path is shown in

Reverse solenoid

The operational sequence of duplex printing is as follows:

1.

The duplexing driver activates the reverse solenoid (SL5) to drive the duplexing deflector when the leading edge of paper arrives at the fixing unit. It then rotates the reverse motor (M7) clockwise and feeds the paper to the reverse unit.

2.

The duplexing driver stops the reverse motor and turns off the reverse solenoid after the trailing edge of the paper passes through the fixing delivery paper sensor.

3.

The duplexing driver rotates the reverse motor counter-clockwise to feed the paper to the duplexing feed unit. It turns on the duplexing feed motor (M6) after a specified time to feed the paper to the duplexing pick-up position. The oblique roller corrects skew and makes sure that edge of the paper is flush with the left guide.

4.

If the duplexing driver has received the duplexing pick-up command, the paper is fed to the registration roller. If it has not, the paper is stopped and is fed to the registration roller when the command is received.

5.

The second side of the paper is printed and fed to the delivery tray.

Printer calibration

Calibration settings are configured with Printer Management Language (PML)/Printer Job Language

(PJL) commands, except for new cartridge installation. Calibration can also be configured using the embedded Web server and HP ToolboxFX. Calibration occurs during the following conditions and intervals:

Power-on calibration

Calibration during power-on can be configured for the following intervals:

Always calibrate at power-on

Never calibrate at power-on

Calibrate after 1-6 minutes (default is 15 minutes) of idle time after the first job since the printer was turned on or 12, 24, 48, 96, or 168 hours (default is 48 hours) of idle time.

Page count calibration

Calibration occurs at the end of the first job that passes 150 color pages since the previous calibration occurred. Page count calibration settings can be configured for the following intervals:

Do not do page count calibrations

Calibrate after 150 pages have been printed since the last calibration. This is the default setting.

NOTE

Page count calibration cannot be set using the embedded Web server.

Elapsed time calibration

Elapsed time calibration will occur when the first job is sent after the elapsed time is exceeded.

Use PML/PJL commands to configure the following intervals:

Do not perform elapsed time calibration

After 12, 24, 48, 96, or 168 hours (default is 48 hours) or more have elapsed since the last calibration (or power-on), and after 1-6 minutes (default is 15 minutes) of idle time from the first job after 12, 24, 48, 96, or 168 hours (default is 48 hours) have elapsed.

On-demand calibration

Calibrate the printer using the printer control panel. For more information about printer

calibration, see Printer calibration on page 171

.

New consumable calibration

When a new print cartridge is installed, the printer calibrates.

NOTE

When a new black print cartridge is replaced, a cleaning page will print before the printer calibrates.

If printing stops when the cartridge is out, requiring the user to either install a new cartridge or select to print with toner out override, a calibration will not occur until the depleted cartridge is replaced, printing resumes, and all jobs currently in the queue are completed or cancelled. This could result in an interval of several pages where a new cartridge is using the old cartridge’s calibration data.

Draft (600 dpi)

Normal (Image REt 2400)

NOTE

Changing the resolution can change the formatting of your text.

To temporarily change print-quality settings

To change the print-quality settings only for the current software program, open the properties through the

Print Setup

Identifying and correcting printed image defects

Use the checklist and print-quality issues charts in this section to solve print-quality problems.

Print problems 153

Print-quality checklist

General print-quality problems can be solved by using the following checklist:

1.

Make sure that the paper or print media that you are using meets specifications. Generally, smoother paper provides better results.

2.

If you are using a special print media such as labels, transparencies, glossy, or letterhead, ensure that you have printed by type.

3.

Print a Configuration page and Supplies Status page at the device.

Check the Supplies Status page to see if any supplies are low or empty. No information is provided for non-HP print cartridges.

If the pages do not print correctly, the problem is with the hardware.

4.

Print a Demo page from the HP ToolboxFX. If the page prints, the problem is with the printer driver.

5.

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

6.

Restart the computer and the device and try printing again. If the problem is not resolved, choose one of these options:

If the problem is affecting all printed pages, see General print quality issues on page 154

.

If the problem is affecting only pages printed in color, see

Solving issues with color documents on page 158

.

General print quality issues

The following examples depict letter-size paper that has passed through the device short-edge-first.

These examples illustrate problems that would affect all of the pages that you print, whether you print in color or in black only. The topics that follow list the typical cause and solution for each of these examples.

Table 6-6

Generally, smoother media produces better results.

Paper handling issues

The following sections contains information about paper-handling issues.

Wrong size/type media

Use the following procedure to troubleshoot and resolve wrong size or type media problems.

1.

Make sure that the software program is selecting the correct media size or type.

2.

Make sure that the printer driver for the software program is correctly installed, configured, and capable of requesting the desired media size and type.

3.

Make sure that the paper guides are touching the edges of the stack of media.

4.

If the size of media requested is not loaded in the tray selected, the printer draws media from the next default tray that contains the correct size. Load the correct media in the tray and make sure that the tray is adjusted correctly. Load the tray with enough media to complete the print job. (See the

HP Color LaserJet 2605, 2605dn, 2605dtn User Guide

for information about configuring the input trays.)

160 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting ENWW

Cannot select a tray or feature to use

When you cannot select a tray or feature to use, use the following procedure to troubleshoot and resolve problems.

1.

When the size of media requested is not loaded in the tray selected, the printer draws media from the next default tray that contains the correct size. Load the correct media in the tray and make sure that the tray is adjusted correctly. Load the tray with enough media to complete the print job. (See the

HP Color LaserJet 2605, 2605dn, 2605dtn User Guide

for information about configuring the input trays.)

2.

Make sure that the driver for the software program is correctly installed, configured, and capable of requesting the desired media size and type, or feature.

Performance problems

Try the tips in this section if pages exit the device but have nothing printed on them, or when the device does not print any pages.

ENWW Print problems 161

Table 6-8

Performance issues

Problem

Pages print but are totally blank.

Pages print very slowly.

Pages did not print.

Cause

The sealing tape might still be in the print cartridges.

The document might contain blank pages.

The device might be malfunctioning.

Other devices are running on your computer.

Solution

Verify that the sealing tape has been completely removed from the print cartridges.

Check the document that you are printing to see if content appears on all of the pages.

To check the device, print a

Configuration page.

Print on a different type of media.

Heavier media types can slow the print job.

Complex pages will print slower.

Proper fusing may require a slower print speed to ensure the best print quality.

See

Paper handling issues on page 160 .

The device might not be pulling media correctly.

The media is jamming in the device.

The USB cable might be defective or incorrectly connected.

Clear the jam.

Disconnect the USB cable at both ends and reconnect it.

Try printing a job that has printed in the past.

Try using a different USB cable.

The device might not share a USB port. If you have an external hard drive or network switchbox that is connected to the same port as the device, the other device might be interfering. To connect and use the device, you must disconnect the other device or you must use two USB ports on the computer.

HP Color LaserJet 2605, 2605dn, 2605dtn -kirjoittimen sisällä ei ole käyttäjän huollettavissa olevia kohteita. Laitteen saa avata ja huoltaa ainoastaan sen huoltamiseen koulutettu henkilö. Tällaiseksi huoltotoimenpiteeksi ei katsota väriainekasetin vaihtamista, paperiradan puhdistusta tai muita käyttäjän käsikirjassa lueteltuja, käyttäjän tehtäväksi tarkoitettuja ylläpitotoimia, jotka voidaan suorittaa ilman erikoistyökaluja.

VARO!

Mikäli kirjoittimen suojakotelo avataan, olet alttiina näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle laitteen ollessa toiminnassa. Älä katso säteeseen.

VARNING!

Om laserprinterns skyddshölje öppnas då apparaten är i funktion, utsättas användaren för osynlig laserstrålning. Betrakta ej strålen.
