Control panel menus

You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer by using the program or printer driver. These two methods are the most convenient way to control the printer, and they will override the printer control panel settings. See the Help file for your program, or, for more information about gaining access to the printer driver, see

“Changing the settings for a print job” on page 47

You can also control the printer by changing settings at the printer control panel. Use the control panel to gain access to printer features not supported by the program or printer driver.

You can print a menu map at the printer control panel that shows the settings with the currently selected values (see

“Menu map” on page 72 . The sections that follow list the settings and

possible values. In the Values column, the default value for each setting is the one with an asterisk (*) next to it.

Some menus or menu items appear only if certain options are installed in the printer.

This section explains the following menus:

“Retrieve Job menu” on page 144

“Information menu” on page 145

“Paper Handling menu” on page 146

“Configure Device menu” on page 148

“Diagnostics menu” on page 161

Retrieve Job menu

Note

This menu provides a list of the stored jobs in the printer and access to all the job storage

features. You can print or delete these jobs at the printer control panel. See “Using job-storage features” on page 57 for more information about using this menu.

If you turn the printer power off, all stored jobs are deleted unless an optional hard disk is installed.

The section that follows lists the settings and possible values. In the Values column, the default value for each setting is the one with an asterisk (*) next to it.

Explanation

Configures the fuser mode associated with each paper types.

Change the fuser mode only if you are experiencing problems printing on certain paper types. After you select a type of paper, you can select a fuser mode that is available for that type. The available selections might include some or all of the following modes:

NORMAL : Used for most types of paper.

HIGH 1 : Used for rough paper.

HIGH 2 : Used for paper with a special or rough finish.

LOW : Used for transparencies.

REDUCE CURL : Used to reduce paper curl. Turning the option on might decrease print quality. This is because the setting reduces the amount of heat that the fuser applies during the printing process. With the lower temperature, toner might not completely bond to the media that you are using.

The default fuser mode is NORMAL for all print media types except transparencies ( LOW ), and rough paper

( HIGH1 ).

CAUTION

Do not change the fuser mode for transparencies.

Failure to use the LOW setting while printing transparencies can result in permanent damage to the printer and fuser. Always select Transparencies as the

Type in the printer driver and set the tray type at the printer control panel to TRANSPARENCY .

When selected, RESTORE MODES resets the fuser mode for each media type back to its default setting.

There is no value to select.

*OFF

There is no value to select.

Increases the intensity at which toner is transferred to the media. Set to ON for the following reasons:

You are using highly resistive, lower-quality papers. (HP recommends using only HP paper and print media.)

A combination of low humidity and high temperature is causing toner to scatter around the characters (halo effect).

Decreases the possibility for jams in the print cartridge area under conditions of high humidity and high temperature.

Returns to the defaults for the Optimize settings.

FASTRES 1200 : Produces 1200-dpi print quality for fast, high-quality printing of business text and graphics.

PRORES 1200 : Produces 1200-dpi printing for the best quality in line art and graphic images.

Note

It is best to change the resolution in the program or printer driver. (Program and printer-driver settings override control panel settings.)

Use the Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) setting to produce print with smooth angles, curves, and edges.

REt does not affect print quality if the print resolution is set to FastRes 1200. All other print resolutions benefit from REt.

Note

It is best to change the REt setting in the program or printer driver. (Program and printer-driver settings override control panel settings.)

Turn EconoMode ON (to save toner) or OFF (for high quality).

EconoMode creates draft-quality printing by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page.

Note

It is best to turn EconoMode on or off in the program or printer driver. (Program and printer-driver settings override control panel settings.)

CAUTION

HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode.

If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge.

FIRST : Sets the printer to pull from the tray you selected first, but allows the printer to pull from another tray automatically if the tray you selected is empty.

Determines when the printer shows a prompt regarding pulling from tray 1 if your print job does not match the type or size loaded in any other tray.

ALWAYS : Select this option if you always want to be prompted before the printer pulls from tray 1.

UNLESS LOADED : Prompts you only if tray 1 is empty.

Sets how long the printer remains idle before it enters

(turns off the display backlight, but the display is still readable)

The printer automatically comes out of PowerSave mode when you send a print job, press a printer control panel button, open a tray, or open the top cover.

OFF : If an error occurs that prevents printing, the message remains on the printer control panel display, and the printer remains offline until you press

( S ELECT button).

Determines how the printer behaves if the print cartridge is low. The ORDER CARTRIDGE message first appears when about 10 percent of the toner remains in the print cartridge at 5 percent coverage (about 600 pages remaining). Print quality is not guaranteed if you print after receiving this message.

CONTINUE : The printer continues to print, and the message appears until you replace the print cartridge.

STOP : The printer pauses printing until you replace the print cartridge or press ( S ELECT button) before each job to print it. The message appears until you replace the print cartridge.

Determines how the printer reacts if the print cartridge is empty.

CONTINUE : The printer continues to print, and the

REPLACE CARTRIDGE message appears until you replace the print cartridge. HP does not guarantee print quality if you select CONTINUE after a REPLACE CARTRIDGE condition. Replace the print cartridge as soon as possible to ensure print quality.

STOP : The printer stops printing until you replace the print cartridge.

HTTPS (Secure HTTP) only, or both HTTP and HTTPS.

HTTPS REQUIRED (default): For secure, encrypted communications, only HTTPS access is accepted. The printer server will appear as a secure site.

HTTPS OPTIONAL : Access using either HTTP or HTTPS is permitted.

Specify whether the current security settings on the print server will be saved or reset to factory defaults.

NO (default): The current security settings are maintained.

YES : Security settings are reset to factory defaults.

For an Ethernet network only, select the network link speed and the communication mode of the HP Jetdirect 10/

100Base-TX print server. The default setting is AUTO , where the printer automatically configures itself to match the network link speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and communication mode (half-duplex or full-duplex).

Explanation

Performs a simple reset and restores most of the factory

(default) settings. This item also clears the input buffer for the active I/O. Restoring factory settings does not affect network parameter settings on the optional HP Jetdirect print server.

CAUTION

Restoring memory during a print job cancels the print job.

Turns PowerSave mode on or off. PowerSave mode does the following: minimizes the amount of power consumed by the printer when it is idle reduces wear on electronic components in the printer

(turns off the display backlight, but display is still readable)

The printer automatically comes out of PowerSave mode when you send a print job, press a printer control panel button, open a tray, or open the top cover.

You can set how long the printer remains idle before it enters PowerSave mode. (See

“ POWERSAVE TIME ” on page 154 .)
