							Please bear in mind the following considerations.
●Any other users wishing to share your printer must install the printer software on their own
computers.
● Any other users sharing your directly connected printer will be able to send print jobs, but will not
be able to receive information from the printer—which affects printer alerts, printer status reports,
paper management, printer administration and troubleshooting.
● You may find that sharing your directly connected printer with other users will slow down your
computer unacceptably.
TIP:
The best way to share the printer over a network is to connect the printer not to any computer,
but to the network. See 
Connect to a network (Mac OS) on page 13 .
Connect to a network (Mac OS)
You can connect your printer to a local area network by using the following methods:
● Bonjour/Rendezvous
● TCP/IP
NOTE:
The printer does not support AppleTalk.
Before you begin, check your equipment:
●The printer should be set up and on.
● The Ethernet hub or router should be on and functioning correctly.
● All computers on the network should be on and connected to the network.
● The printer should be connected to the network.
Now you can proceed to install the printer software and connect your printer.
Bonjour/Rendezvous connection

							Introduction
This chapter describes various printer settings that the printer administrator may wish to control as soon
as a new printer is assembled and ready for use.
Turn alerts on and off
Printer alerts warn you when there is a printer problem that you can correct by taking action. The alerts
are displayed by the printers front panel, by the HP Printer Utility and by the printer driver.
You can tell the printer which kinds of alerts you would like to see (if any). To access the alert settings:
●Select 
Alert Settings  in the Device List page of the HP Printer Utility.
● Select 
Alert Settings  in any alert page displayed by the HP Printer Utility for Windows.
● Right-click the HP Printer Utility for Windows system tray icon, and select Alert Settings.
You can change the settings in the following ways:
● Turn all alerts on or off.
● Turn on or off printer alerts for problems that stop the printer from printing.
● Turn on or off printer alerts for problems that do not stop the printer from printing.
● Turn on printer alerts in all circumstances, or only when you are trying to print to the printer affected
by the problem.
Set Windows driver preferences
You can change some default settings in your printer driver according to your own preferences, for
instance to set color emulation or paper-saving options. To do this, press the 
Start button on your
computers screen, then select  Printers and Faxes. In the Printers and Faxes window, right-click on
your printers icon, and select  Printing Preferences. Any settings you change in the Printing
Preferences window will be saved as default values.

							Turn the printer on and off
TIP:The printer can be left powered on without wasting energy. Leaving it on improves response time
and overall system reliability. When the printer has not been used for a certain period of time (the default
time is determined by Energy Star), it saves power by going into sleep mode. However, any interaction
with the printers front-panel display returns it to active mode, and it can resume printing immediately.
To change the sleep mode time, see 
Change the sleep mode setting on page 20 .
NOTE: In sleep mode, the printer performs maintenance service to the printheads from time-to-time.
This avoids long preparation times after long idle periods. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to leave
the printer powered on or in sleep mode to avoid wasting ink and time.
The printer has three levels of power consumption.
● Plugged in: the power cord is plugged into the back of the printer
● Switched on: the switch at the back of the printer is in the on position
● Powered on: the Power
 key on the front panel shows a green light
If you wish to turn the printer on or off or reset the printer, the normal and recommended method is to
use the  Power key on the front panel.
However, if you plan to store the printer indefinitely or the  Power key does not seem to work, you are
recommended to power it off using the  Power key, and then also switch off the power switch at the rear.
To turn it back on, use the power switch at the rear.

							When the printer is powered back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize and check and prepare
the printheads. Preparing the printheads takes about one minute and 15 seconds. However, if the printer
has been off for six weeks or more, preparing the printheads could take up to 45 minutes.
Change the language of the front-panel display
There are two possible ways to change the language of the front-panel menus and messages.
●If you can understand the current front-panel display language, press the 
Menu key to return to the
main menu and select the Setup menu icon 
, then Front panel options  > Select language.
● If you cannot understand the current front-panel display language, start with the printer powered
off. At the front panel, press the 
OK key and hold it down. While holding the  OK key down, press
the  Power  key and hold it down. Continue to hold down both keys until the green light on the right
side of the front-panel display starts flashing, and then release both keys. You can expect a delay
of about one second. If the green light starts flashing without any delay, you may need to start
again.
Whichever method you used, the language selection menu should now appear on the front-panel
display. Highlight your preferred language with the  Up and Down  keys, then press the OK  key.
When you have selected your preferred language, turn off the printer with the  Power key and then turn
it on again. The front panel will appear in the selected language.
Access the HP Printer Utility
The HP Printer Utility enables you to manage your printer from a computer with a USB, TCP/IP or
Jetdirect connection.
● Under Windows,

Programs  > Hewlett-Packard  > HP Printer Utility  > HP Printer Utility. This launches the HP
Printer Utility, showing the printers installed on your computer.
● Under Mac OS,
 launch the HP Printer Utility from your dock shortcut or by selecting
STARTUP_DISK  > Library > Printers  > hp > Utilities  > HP Printer Utility . This launches the HP

Access the Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server enables you to manage your printer remotely using an ordinary Web
browser running on any computer.
To access the Embedded Web Server directly, you must have a TCP/IP connection to your printer.
However, you can access the Embedded Web Server indirectly through the HP Printer Utility, if you
connect to your printer with a USB connection.
The following browsers are known to be compatible with the Embedded Web Server:
● Internet Explorer 6 or later, for Windows
● Internet Explorer 5.2, for Mac OS X 10.3

specified a language that it cannot support, it works in English.
To change the language, you must change your Web browsers language setting. For example, in
Internet Explorer version 6, go to the  Tools menu and select  Internet Options, Languages. Then
ensure that the language you want is at the top of the list in the dialog box.
To complete the change, you must close and reopen your Web browser.
Change the sleep mode setting
If the printer is left switched on but unused for a certain period of time, it goes automatically into sleep
mode to save power. To change the time the printer waits before it goes into sleep mode, press the
Menu  key to return to the main menu and select the Setup menu icon 
, then  Front panel
options  > Sleep mode wait time . Highlight the wait time you want and then press the  OK key. You can
