Enhanced I/O (EIO) configuration NOTEThis feature is available for the HP Color LaserJet 3000 and 3800 Series printers only. If you are adding a print server to a base mode l (HP Color LaserJet 3000 or HP Color LaserJet 3800), additional printer memory might be required. The enhanced input/output (EIO) slot holds compatib le accessory devices, such as the HP Jetdirect print server network cards or other devices. Plugging an EIO network card into the slot increases the number of network interfaces available to the printer. HP Jetdirect EIO print servers HP Jetdirect print servers (network cards) can be installed in EIO slots. These cards support multiple network protocols and operating systems. HP Jetd irect print servers facilitate network management by allowing you to connect a printer directly to your network at any location. HP Jetdirect print servers also support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which provides network managers with remote printer management and troubleshooting through the HP Web Jetadmin software. NOTE Configure the card either through the control panel, the printer installation software, or with HP Web Jetadmin software. Refer to the HP Jetdirect print server documentation for more information. 48 Chapter 3 I/O configuration ENWW
4 Printing tasks This chapter describes how to perform basic printing tasks: ● Controlling print jobs ● Selecting print media ● Configuring trays ● Automatic media type sensing (auto sense mode) ● Using features in the Windows printer driver ● Using features in the Macintosh printer driver ● Printing on special media ● Using 2-sided (duplex) printing ● Managing special printing situations ● Managing stored jobs ● Managing memory ENWW 49
Controlling print jobs In Windows, three settings affect how the printer driver pulls media when you send a print job. The Source, Type, and Size settings appear in the Page Setup, Print , or Print Properties dialog boxes in most software programs. If you do not change these settings, the printer automatically uses the default printer settings to select a tray. CAUTIONMake printer setup changes through the software program or the printer driver whenever possible, because changes that you make at the control panel become default settings for subsequent print jobs. Settings selected in the software or the printer driver override control- panel settings. Source Print by Source to specify a tray from which the printer will pull media. The printer tr ies to print from this tray, no matter what type or size is loaded in it. If yo u select a tray that is configured for a type or size that does not match your print job, the job does not proceed until you load the tray with the correct type or size. If you load the tray correctly, the printer begins printing. If you press , you can select another tray. NOTE If you have difficulties printing by Source, see Priority for print settings. Type and Size Print by Type or Size when you want to pull media from the first tray that is loaded with the type or size that you select. Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays and helps protect special media from accidental use. For exampl e, if a tray is configured for letterhead, and you specify that the driver print on plain paper, the printer will not pull media from that tray, but will pull paper from a tray that has plain paper loa ded and is configured for plain paper. NOTESelecting the Any setting negates the tray lock-out function. Selecting media by type and size re sults in significantly better print quality for heavy paper, glossy paper, and overhead transparencies. Using the wrong setting can result in unsatisfactory print quality. Always print by Type for special print media, such as labe ls or transparencies. Always print by Size for envelopes. ● If you want to print by Type or Size and the trays have not been configured for a certain type or size, load the media into tray 1. Then, in the printer driver, select the Type or Size in the Page Setup , Print , or Print Properties dialog box. ● If you often print on a certain type or size of me dia, the printer administrator (for a network printer) or you (for a local printer) can conf igure a tray for that type or size. Then, when you select that type or size as you print a job, the printer pulls from the tray config ured for that type or size. See Configuring trays. ● When you close tray 2 or optional tray 3, a message might appear prompting you to select a Type or Size for the tray. If the tray is already configured correctly, press to return to the Ready state. Priority for print settings Changes to print settings are prioritized depending on where the changes are made: 50 Chapter 4 Printing tasks ENWW
NOTEThe names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on your software program. ● Page Setup dialog box : Click Page Setup or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed here override settings changed anywhere else. ● Print dialog box : Click Print, Print Setup , or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed in the Print dialog box have a lower priority and do not override changes made in the Page Setup dialog box. ● Printer Properties dialog box (printer driver) : Click Properties in the Print dialog box to open the printer driver. Settings changed in the Printer Properties dialog box do not override settings anywhere else in the printing software. ● Default printer driver settings : The default printer driver settings determine the settings used in all print jobs, unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer Properties dialog boxes. ● Printer control panel settings : Settings changed at the printer control panel have a lower priority than changes made anywhere else.

Selecting print media You can use many types of paper and other print media with this printer. Before purchasing any paper or specialized forms in quantity, verify that your paper supplier has obtained and understands the print-media requirements that are specified in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide . See Supplies and accessories to order the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide . To download a copy of the guide, go to www.hp.com/support/clj3000 for the HP Color LaserJet 3000 Series printer, www.hp.com/support/clj3600 for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 Series printer, or www.hp.com/support/clj3800 for the HP Color LaserJet 3800 Series printer. Select Manuals. It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter or the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide and still not print satisfactorily. This can result from abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or other variables over which HP has no control (for example, extremes in temperature and humidity). Hewlett-Packard Company recommends testing any paper before buying it in large quantities. CAUTION Using paper that does not conform to the specifications listed here or in the print media guide can cause problems that require service. This service is not covered by the Hewlett- Packard warranty or service agreements. Paper to avoid The printer can handle many types of paper. Using pa per that does not meet specifications will cause lower print quality and increase the chance of jams. ● Do not use paper that is too rough. ● Do not use paper, other than standard 3-hole punche d paper, that contains cutouts or perforations. ● Do not use multipart forms. ● Do not use paper that has already been printed on, or that has been fed through a photocopier. ● Do not use paper that contains a watermark if you are printing solid patterns. Paper that can da mage the printer In rare circumstances, paper can damage the printe r. The following paper must be avoided to prevent possible damage to the printer: ● Do not use paper with staples attached. ● Do not use transparencies that are designed for Inkjet printers or other low temperature printers, or for monochrome printing. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP Color LaserJet printers. ● Do not use photo paper that is intended for Inkjet printers. ● Do not use paper that is embossed or coated, or any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, offsets, or disc olors when exposed to 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second. Also, do not use letterhead paper that is made with dyes or inks that cannot withstand that temperature. 52 Chapter 4 Printing tasks ENWW

Configuring trays You can configure the printer trays by type and size. Load different media in the printer trays and then request media by type or size in the software program. NOTE If you have used previous HP Color Lase rJet printers, you might be accustomed to configuring tray 1 to first mode or cassette mode . To mimic the settings for first mode, configure tray 1 for ANY SIZE and ANY TYPE. The printer will pull pa per from tray 1 first (if paper is loaded in that tray) when the print job does not specify another tray. This setting is recommended if you use different types or sizes of paper in tray 1. To mimic the settings from cassette mode, set either the size or type for tray 1 to a setting other than ANY SIZE or ANY TYPE . This setting is recommended if you are using the same size and type of paper in tray 1. NOTEIf you use 2-sided printing, be sure that the media meets the specifications for duplex printing. See Print-media specifications. The following instructions are for configuring the trays at the printer control panel. You can also configure the trays from your computer through the embedded Web server. See Using the embedded Web server . Configuring size 1.Press Menu. 2.

Configuring tray 1 for custom paper Use the ANY SIZE size setting when the selected media doe s not exactly match the size of the paper specified in the document you are printing. If no source tray is specified, the printer looks first for paper that exactly matches the document, and then it looks for and prints from a tray set to ANY SIZE or ANY TYPE . Use the ANY CUSTOM setting when you want to be able to print a number of custom sizes from the tray without defining a set size for each job. Use the CUSTOM setting when you want to print a specific print size from a particular tray. When you print a custom job, the printer looks for an exact size match. If it does not find an exact match to the custom size specified, it looks for a tray set to ANY CUSTOM. Finally, the printer looks for and uses media from a tray set to ANY SIZE. 54 Chapter 4 Printing tasks ENWW
There are three steps to set up custom paper. When all are completed, the display returns to the PAPER HANDLING menu. After a custom size is set for a tray, the printer retains the sett ing until you change it in the control panel. x y y 1 2 1X dimension 2Y dimension Unit of measure 1.
