Basic troubleshooting checklist If you are experiencing problems with the printer, use the following checklist to identify the cause of the problem: ●Is the printer connected to power? ●Is the printer on? ●Is the printer in the Ready state? ●Are all necessary cables connected? ●Do any messages appear on the control panel? ●Are genuine HP supplies installed? ●Were recently replaced print cartridges installed correctly, and was the pull tab on the cartridge removed? For additional information about installation and setup, see the printer getting started guide. If you cannot find solutions to printer problems in this guide, go to www.hp.com/support/clj2700. Factors that affect printer performance Several factors affect the time it takes to print a job: ●Maximum printer speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm) ●The use of special paper (such as transparencies, heavy paper, and custom-size paper) ●Printer processing and download time ●The complexity and size of graphics ●The speed of the computer you are using ●The USB connection ●The printer I/O configuration ●The amount of printer memory installed ●The network operating system and configuration (if applicable) ●Printer personality (PCL or PS) NOTEAlthough additional printer memory can resolve memory problems, improve how the printer handles complex graphics, and improve download times, it will not increase maximum printer speed (ppm). 88 Chapter 8 Problem solving ENWW
Control-panel messages The control-panel messages indicate the current printer status. In addition, alert, warning, and critical error messages indicate situations that might require action. Alert and warning messages appear temporarily and might require that you acknowledge the message by pressing OK to resume printing or by pressing X to cancel the job. With certain warnings, the job might not finish printing or the print quality might be affected. If the alert or warning message is related to printing and the auto-continue feature is on, the printer will attempt to resume printing the job after the warning has appeared for 10 seconds without acknowledgement. Critical error messages can indicate some kind of failure. Restarting the printer might fix the problem. If a critical error persists, the printer might require service.
