Connecting the printer

Your printer supports local printing and network printing. For local printing, you can connect the printer using a USB cable, or a parallel cable if you have a parallel connector installed.

(USB cables or parallel cables are sold separately. To order, see “HP supplies and accessories”

.)

You can share the printer in these ways: z You can use a simple form of networking, known as locally shared networking, if you used a parallel cable or USB cable to connect the printer to a computer running Windows. Using

this method, you can share the printer with other Windows users. See “Connecting directly using a USB or parallel cable (Windows)”

and

“Sharing the printer on a locally shared network (Windows)” .

z z

You can also use locally shared networking if you used a USB cable to connect the printer to a computer running a Mac OS. Using this method, you can share the printer with other

Mac OS users. See

“Connecting directly using a USB cable (Mac OS)” .

For true network printing, you can connect using an optional HP print server. (The

HP Jetdirect 200m print server is included with the HP Business Inkjet 1100dtn.) This

method of printing allows both users of Windows and Mac OS to print. See “Connecting to a network”

.

Note

Connecting directly using a USB or parallel cable (Windows)

In the Windows environment, you can connect directly using either a USB cable or a parallel cable.

Do not connect a USB and a parallel cable to printer at the same time.

To use a USB cable to connect the printer to a computer running a Mac OS, see “Connecting directly using a USB cable (Mac OS)” .

z z

USB connection

For Windows, you can use a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer if the computer has a USB port and is running Microsoft Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.

(Windows NT does not support USB.) If your computer does not meet these specifications, connect the printer to your computer using a parallel connector or a print server (if the printer has one of these two).

In most cases, after you install the printer software and connect a printer to the computer, you can install additional printers with USB cables without reinstalling the printing software.

Parallel connection

You can connect the printer to the parallel port, if you have one. The computer must have a parallel port and must be running Windows.

CAUTION

6 Insert the tray back into the printer.

If you have loaded legal-size or longer paper, keep the front of the tray lowered. Damage to the paper or printer can result if you raise the front of the tray with this longer paper loaded.

2-6

ENWW

7 Pull out the paper extension on the output tray.

8 Select the appropriate media type option in your application or printer driver.

By default, the printer draws paper from Tray 2, if it is installed. If Tray 2 is empty, the printer draws paper from Tray 1 unless you have selected the “lock” feature in the Toolbox. See

“Setting the tray lock”

.

Configuring trays

Note

When you print a document, you can allow the printer to select the correct tray for the print job, or you can select a specific tray for the current print job. These settings are available in the printer driver in the Source is drop-down menu (Windows) and in the Print dialog box in the

Paper Source or Source box (Mac OS).

If you do not select a tray in the printer driver, the printer automatically selects a tray. By default, the printer draws paper from Tray 2 first, if it is installed. Computers running Windows can use the Toolbox to set Tray 1 as the default tray or lock a tray. A Windows user who sets these settings for a network printer will be setting them for all users of the printer, including

Mac OS users.

The following table lists possible ways you can use the trays to meet your printing needs.

Tray usage Steps to complete

I want to load both trays with the same paper, and I want the printer to pull paper from one tray if the other one is empty.

1 Load paper in Tray 1 and Tray 2.

2 Make sure tray lock is off in the

Toolbox (Windows).

z z

I want to load special media

(such as transparencies or letterhead) in Tray 1 and plain paper in Tray 2.

1 Load the special media in Tray 1, and then load the plain paper in

Tray 2.

2 Lock Tray 1 from the Toolbox

(Windows).

z

I want to have paper in both trays, but I want the printer to pull paper from Tray 1 first.

1 Load paper in Tray 1 and Tray 2.

2 Set the default tray to Tray 1 from the Toolbox (Windows).

For more information

Loading paper trays: See

Setting the tray lock

This feature is only available if Tray 2 is installed in your printer and you have a computer that is running Windows. If the printer is on a network and you set tray lock, you will be setting it for all users of the printer, including Mac OS users.

Use the tray lock to protect special media such as letterhead or preprinted paper from accidental use. If the printer runs out of paper while printing a document, it will not use paper from a locked tray to complete the print job.

To set tray lock (Windows)

1 Make sure the printer is on.

2 Open the Toolbox.

3 On the Printer Services tab, click Advanced Configuration.

4 In the Lock Tray area, select the tray that you want to lock from accidental use and click OK.

Selecting a default tray

This feature is only available if Tray 2 is installed in your printer and you have a computer that is running Windows. If the printer is on a network and you select a default tray, you will be setting it for all users of the printer, including Mac OS users.

Use the default tray setting to determine the first tray from which the printer draws media when

Auto Select is selected as the Source in the printer driver. The default tray setting is useful in these situations: z z

The same media is loaded in both trays.

Tray 2 is installed and loaded with a size that you do not want to use for most jobs.

Note that Tray 2 is automatically set as the default tray if you have not changed this setting.

However, Tray 1 is automatically selected if you choose in the printer driver any type of media except plain paper (make sure that the printer driver is set up to do this).

To select a default tray (Windows)

1 Make sure the printer is on.

2 Open the Toolbox.

3 On the Printer Services tab, click Advanced Configuration.

4 In the Default Tray area, select the tray that you want to be the default and click OK.

ENWW

Understanding default tray behavior for the Mac OS

For the Mac OS, Tray 2 is always the default tray except under these circumstances: z You select a size or type that is not supported by Tray 2. The printer automatically selects

Tray 1.

z z

You place an envelope in the envelope slot. The printer automatically pulls the envelope first.

You are using the printer on a network and a Windows user has set Tray 1 as the default

tray in the Toolbox. See “Selecting a default tray” .

z When you are printing the current job, you select Tray 1 from the Paper Source or

Source box in the Print dialog box.

Changing printer settings

The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change these settings when you print on media of different sizes or types, or when you want to use an optional feature, such as printing to Tray 2, which is included with the HP Business Inkjet

1100dtn and optional with the HP Business Inkjet 1100d.

You can change print settings for a single document from the application that the document was created in. To change the default print settings for all documents, you must open the printer driver from the Start menu.

Note

Changing settings for Windows

The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You need to change these settings when you print on media of different sizes or types, or when you want to use an optional feature, such as printing to Tray 2 or printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.

You can change printer settings from an application or the printer driver. Try to make changes from the application first. Changes made to settings from an application always take precedence over changes made to settings from the printer driver.

If you want to change settings only for the jobs you are printing from the application that is currently open, change the settings from the application. After you close the application, the printer settings return to the defaults configured in the printer driver. If you want to set printing options for all jobs you print from all applications, change the default settings in the printer driver.

To change settings from an application (current jobs)

1 With a document open, on the File menu, click Print, and then click Setup or Properties.

2 Change the settings and click OK, Print, or a similar command.

To change default settings (all future jobs)

1 Open the printer driver in one of these ways.

• For Windows 98, Me, NT 4.0, and 2000: From the Windows desktop, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

• For Windows XP: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes.

2 Right-click the printer icon, and then choose one of these options.

• For Windows 98 and Me: Click Properties.

• For Windows NT 4.0: Click Document Defaults or Properties.

• For Windows 2000 and XP: Click Printing Preferences or Properties.

3 Change any settings and click OK. The settings you chose will apply to all documents printed from all applications. You can override these settings from the printer driver just for the job you are currently printing. See

Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page

When printing on both sides of the page using the optional auto-duplex unit, use the following guidelines: z The auto-duplex unit supports the following paper sizes: letter, legal, executive, A4, and

ISO B5. It does not support smaller sizes or custom sizes. z z z z

Minimum width: 3 inches (100 mm)

Maximum width: 8.5 inches (216 mm)

Minimum length: 5 inches (148 mm)

Maximum length 11.7 inches (292 mm)

To print on both sides of paper, make the selection from the application or printer driver.

See “Performing automatic duplexing” .

The minimum top margin should be at least 0.5 inch (12 mm).

Do not print on both sides of transparencies, banner media, envelopes, plain premium inkjet paper, photo paper, brochure paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond

(60 g/m

2

) or heavier than 24 lb bond (90 g/m

2

). Jams might occur with these types of media.

Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. The auto-duplex unit prints the second side of paper first. For Tray 1 and Tray 2, load the paper with the front side facing down.

Maintaining ink cartridges and printheads

The ink cartridges should not require maintenance except for replacing them when the ink runs out. The printheads require very little maintenance.

CAUTION

Replacing ink cartridges

The ink in HP ink cartridges has been formulated to ensure superior print quality and compatibility with your printer. Damage to the printer that results from modifying or refilling the ink cartridges, or from using non-HP ink cartridges, is not covered under the warranty.

You do not have to replace all four ink cartridges when one runs out. Only replace the ink cartridge for the color that is low or out.

You can check the ink levels from the Toolbox. You can also check the printer control panel to see if an ink cartridge is low, as shown here.

The ink cartridge is low on ink when the Ink

Cartridge light blinks, and one or more of the color indicator lights is on.

You can press the (resume button) to continue printing.

The ink cartridge is out of ink when the Ink

Cartridge light, one or more of the color indicator lights, and the Resume light are on.

Print a printer configuration page by holding down the (power button) and pressing the

(cancel button) on the printer once. Release the (power button).

Cleaning the printheads

HP is not responsible for damage to the printer that results from modifying the printheads.

If the printed characters are incomplete, or if dots or lines are missing from the printouts, you might need to clean the printheads. This is a symptom of clogged ink nozzles, which are a result of prolonged exposure to air.

Clean the printheads from the Toolbox (Windows) or the HP Inkjet Utility (Mac OS). Or, follow the procedures below for cleaning the printheads from the control panel.

There are three cleaning levels available. Run the level 1 cleaning. Only run the level 2 cleaning if the results of the first cleaning were unsatisfactory. Similarly, only run the level 3 cleaning if the results of the second cleaning were unsatisfactory.

Only clean the printheads when necessary; cleaning the printheads uses ink and shortens the life of the printheads.

To clean the printheads from the Toolbox

1 Open the Toolbox.

2 Click the Printer Services tab.

Check the rollers that are inside of the printer z The rollers inside of the printer might be dirty, causing lines or smudges to appear on your printout. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and clean the rollers inside of the printer with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Then try to print again. (Some printers might have a certain amount of aerosol on the inside wall after prolonged use. This should not cause lines or smudges on printouts.)

See the next sections for more specific problems: z

Meaningless characters print

Check the cable connection z z

A common cause for meaningless characters is a poor cable connection between the printer and computer. Make sure that the cable connection at both ends is good and that the cable is securely fastened.

If you are using a parallel cable or USB cable and the problem persists after you have checked the connection, turn off the printer and disconnect the cable from the printer. Turn the printer back on without the connection in place. When the Power light is on and not flashing, reconnect the cable.

Check the document file z Occasionally, a document file is damaged. If you can print other documents from the same application, try to print using a backup copy of your document, if available.

Check the symbol set z If you are using DOS, use the DJCP to set the appropriate symbol set for the language of your document.

Cancel the job z After an interruption has occurred to a job that is printing, the printer might not recognize the rest of the job. Cancel the current job and wait for the printer to return to the Ready state. If the printer does not return to the Ready state, cancel all job processes and wait again. When the printer returns to the Ready state, resend the job. If prompted at the computer to retry the job, click Cancel.

Ink is smearing

Check the print mode z z

When you print documents that use a lot of ink, you must allow the document more time to dry before handling it. This is especially true for transparencies. Select Best mode in the printer driver, and increase the ink drying time from Advanced Features in the printer driver. Under Advanced Features is an Ink Volume slider that you can use in conjunction with drying time to decrease ink saturation. However, note that decreasing ink saturation might give printouts a “washed-out” quality.

Color documents that have rich, blended colors can wrinkle or smear when printed using

Best mode. Try using the Normal, Fast Normal, or Draft mode to reduce ink, or use

HP Premium Paper designed for printing vivid color documents.

Check the media type z Some types of media do not accept ink well, which causes the ink to dry more slowly and results in smearing. See

“Selecting print media” .

Ink is not filling the text or graphics completely

Check the ink cartridges z z

Try removing and then reinstalling the ink cartridges, and make sure to snap them firmly into place.

Your ink cartridge might be out of ink. Replace the empty ink cartridge. See “Replacing ink cartridges”

.

Check the media type z Some media types are not suitable for use with your printer. See

“Selecting print media” .

Output is faded or dull colored

Check the print mode z The Fast Normal and Draft modes allow you to print at a faster rate. This option is good for printing drafts. To achieve better colored printout, select Normal or Best mode in the printer driver.

Check the paper type print setting z When printing on transparencies or other special media, select the corresponding media type in the Print Settings dialog box.

Check the ink cartridges z On the printed page, check that all the lines in the text or image are connected and have printed properly. If the lines are broken, one or more of your ink cartridges is probably out of ink or defective. Replace those ink cartridges with new ones.

Colors are printing as black and white

Check the printer driver settings z The Print In Grayscale check box might be selected. From your application, open the

Printer Properties dialog box. Click the Color tab and make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected.

ENWW

ENWW

Wrong colors are printing

Check the printer driver settings z The Print In Grayscale check box might be selected. From your application, open the

Printer Properties dialog box. Click the Color tab and make sure that Print in Grayscale is not selected.

Check the ink cartridges z When colors are completely wrong, the printer might have run out of one or more colors of ink. Check the status of the ink cartridges in the Toolbox or on the control panel, and then replace any low or empty ink cartridges. See

“Replacing ink cartridges” .

Check the printheads z Whenever print quality noticeably decreases, it is a good idea to clean the printheads. To clean the printheads, open the Toolbox, click the Printer Services tab, and then click

Clean Printheads. For Macintosh, use the control panel. See

“Maintaining ink cartridges and printheads”

.

Printout shows bleeding colors

Check the print settings z Some media type settings (such as Transparency Films and Photo Papers) and print quality settings (such as Best) require more ink than others. Choose different print settings in the Print Settings dialog box. Also, make sure that you have selected the correct media type in the Print Settings dialog box.

Check the ink cartridges z Make sure that the ink cartridges have not been tampered with. Refilling processes and the use of incompatible inks can disrupt the intricate printing system and result in reduced print quality and damage to the printer. HP does not guarantee or support refilled ink

cartridges. For ordering HP supplies and accessories, see “HP supplies and accessories” .

Colors do not line up properly

Check the printheads z The printheads on your printer are automatically aligned when a printhead is replaced.

However, you might notice print quality improvement by performing the alignment procedure yourself. See

“Aligning the printheads” .

Check the graphics placement z Use the zoom or print preview feature of your software to check for gaps in the placement of graphics on the page.

Lines or dots are missing from text or graphics

Check the printheads z

The printheads or printhead contact pads might need cleaning. See cartridges and printheads”

Resolving paper-feed problems

This section provides solutions to common paper-feed problems.

For information on resolving jams, see

“Clearing jams” .

Tray cannot be inserted

z z

With the tray removed from the printer, turn the printer off and then on again. Reinsert the tray.

Make sure that the tray is aligned with the printer opening.

Another paper-feed problem is occurring

Media is not supported for the printer or tray

z Make sure that you are using media that is supported for the printer and for the tray being used. (See

“Printer specifications”

and “Understanding specifications for supported media”

.)

Media is not picked up from Tray 1 or Tray 2

z z z

Check that the guides are set to the correct marking in the trays for the size of paper you are loading. Also make sure the guides are snug, but not tight, against the stack.

Make sure the media you are using is not curled. Uncurl paper by bending it in the opposite direction of the curl.

Make sure that the tray has been pushed completely into the printer.

An envelope is not picked up from the envelope slot

z z z

Make sure that there is not more than one envelope loaded in the envelope slot.

Make sure that the envelope is not wrinkled or bent. Do not leave an envelope in the envelope slot overnight because doing so can cause the envelope to bend.

Make sure that media in Tray 1 is not interfering with the envelope slot and causing more than one envelope to be fed. Remove any media from Tray 1 and try again.

Media is not coming out correctly

z z z

If the output tray extension is not extended, output pages will fall off the printer. Make sure that output tray extension is extended.

Remove excess media from the output tray. The output tray is designed to hold a maximum of 100 sheets at a time.

If the auto-duplex unit is not installed or if the auto-duplex unit door is down during a duplex job, media will exit the rear of the printer. Reinstall the auto-duplex unit or close the auto-duplex unit door.

Pages are skewing

z Make sure that media loaded in Tray 1 or Tray 2 is aligned to the right and front guides.

4-22

ENWW

Multiple pages are being picked up

z z z z

Make sure that the stack of paper has been aligned with the right and front guides.

Make sure that the tray has not been overloaded with paper.

When you load paper, avoid fanning the stack. Fanning paper can cause static electricity to build up and intensify multiple-pick problems.

When you reinsert a tray in the printer, make sure that you insert it gently. Forceful insertion with a full stack of paper can cause sheets to slide up within the printer, causing the printer to jam or pick multiple sheets at one time.

Troubleshooting installation issues

Glossary

Booklet printing

This option enables you to print two pages onto a single, larger sheet of paper and reorder the page sequencing so that the page numbers are sequential when you fold the paper in half to form a booklet. For more information, see the printer driver Help.

connection slot

The connection slot in the printer holds one of the following (you cannot connect both at the same time): z HP Jetdirect print server for networking (included with the HP Business Inkjet 1100dtn) z parallel connector (optional for North America; included for the rest of the world in the HP

Business Inkjet 1100d)

The HP Jetdirect print server is an LIO print server—a type of print server intended for printers that will be used in small groups of workers. The print server includes an embedded Web server to report the print server status, and it is compatible with HP Web Jetadmin.

Flip pages up

This option allows you to choose the orientation of duplexed pages. When you choose an option, view its icon in the printer driver to see how the page will look if you choose that option.

For more information, see the printer driver Help.

HP PhotoREt Color Layering technology

This technology uses small, precisely placed drops of ink that visually blend together to create rich colors, smooth gradations, and cleanly defined color boundaries. This type of technology works with the printer resolution to deliver superb results without creating large file sizes and without slowing down printing.

ink cartridges

Ink cartridges hold the ink used for printing. Each color ink cartridge must be inserted firmly

into its color-coded slot in order for the printer to work. Ink cartridges work with “printheads” .

parallel port connector

A piece of hardware that is connected to the printer that allows you to connect a printer directly to a Windows computer using a parallel cable. It plugs into the connection slot on the printer.

PCL 3 driver

Printer command language. A type of printer driver that processes print jobs using the processor and memory in the printer. It provides an efficient way for applications to control a wide range of printer features and is designed to translate application output quickly into high-quality raster print images. The 3 in PCL 3 identifies the version of the printer driver.

G-1

G-2

print server or print server card

A print server or print server card is a piece of hardware that can be connected to a printer (or other device), either internally or externally. The print server allows the printer to communicate with the computers on a network. This type of print server should not be confused with a computer acting as a server, or print server. The computer acting as a print server runs the software that the printer needs to operate.

printer driver

A printer driver (or PPD on a Macintosh) is the software on a computer that allows the computer to communicate with the printer. Use the printer driver to set printing options, such as setting the type of paper you are using or selecting the print quality.

printheads

Printheads transfer ink from ink cartridges onto the paper or other print media. There is one printhead for each color of ink cartridge. Each printhead must be inserted firmly into its

color-coded slot in order for the printer to work. Printheads work with “ink cartridges” .

Quick Sets

Quick Sets allow you to save the current printer driver settings (such as page orientation, print on both sides, paper source) for reuse. Quick sets can be selected and saved from most tabs in the printer driver. They are useful for projects that you print often that need the same settings each time. For more information, see the printer driver Help.

resolution

Resolution is a measure of the quality of the image you are printing. In HP printers, the resolution and printing technologies work together to produce superb results that resolution alone cannot offer.
