characters
●IP address: specify the IP address on the print server, duplicate IP addresses on a TCP/IP network
are not allowed
NOTE:If you change the current IP address and click Apply, the browser loses the current
connection to the print server because it is pointing to the old address. To reconnect, browse to
the new IP address.
●Subnet mask: specify a subnet mask, which is a 32-bit number applied to an IP address to
determine which bits specify the network and subnet and which bits uniquely specify the node
●Default gateway: specify the IP address of a router or computer that is used to connect to other
networks or sub-networks, if none exist, use the IP address of the computer or the IP address of
the print server
●Domain name: specify the name of the DNS domain that the print server resides in, for example,
support.hp.com, note that it does not include the host name; it is not the fully qualified domain
name, such as printer1.support.hp.com
●Idle timeout: specify the number of seconds that an idle connection is allowed to remain open,
270 is the default value, if set to zero, the timeout is disabled and TCP/IP connections remain open
until closed by the other node (such as a workstation) on the network
●Default IP: specify the IP address to use when the print server is unable to obtain an IP address
from the network when powered on or when reconfigured to use BOOTP or DHCP
●Send DHCP requests: specify whether DHCP requests are transmitted when a legacy default IP
address or a default Auto IP is assigned
To configure the same network settings from the front panel, select the Connectivity menu icon 
,
then Fast Ethernet > Modify configuration.

							General advice
TIP:Before starting a paper loading process, make sure you have enough room around the printer,
both in front and behind.
CAUTION:Make sure the printer wheels are locked (the brake lever is pressed down) to prevent the
printer from moving.
NOTE:All paper must be 11 inches (28 cm) or longer. A4 and US Letter paper cannot be loaded
landscape.
TIP:For photo paper wear cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils onto the paper.
CAUTION:Keep the basket closed throughout the loading process.
Load a roll onto the spindle
CAUTION:Ensure the sheet tray is closed.
ENWWGeneral advice 23
Paper handling
 
						

							1.Remove the right-hand end of the spindle from the printer, then the other end.
WARNING!Do not insert your fingers into the spindle supports during the removal process.
2.The spindle has a stop at each end to keep the roll in position. The blue stop can be removed to
mount a new roll; it slides along the spindle to hold rolls of different widths. Remove the blue paper
stop from the end of the spindle.
3.If your roll has a three-inch cardboard core, ensure that the core adaptors supplied with the printer
have been installed.
4.If the roll is long, rest the spindle horizontally on a table and load the roll on the table.
24 Chapter 4   Paper handling ENWW
Paper handling
 
						

							TIP:You may need two people to handle a large roll.
5.Slide the new roll onto the spindle. Make sure the paper type is oriented as shown. If it is not,
remove the roll, turn it 180 degrees and slide it back on to the spindle. There are labels on the
spindle showing the correct orientation.
NOTE:From the back of the printer, the blue stop is fitted onto the right-hand end of the spindle.
Ensure both ends of the roll are as close to the spindle stops as possible.
6.Put the blue paper stop onto the open end of the spindle, and push it towards the end of the roll.
7.Ensure the blue paper stop is pushed in as far as it goes, until both ends are against the stops.
If you are a regular user of different paper types, you can change rolls more quickly if you preload rolls
of different paper types on different spindles. Extra spindles are available for purchase, see
Accessories on page 101.
Load a roll into the printer
There are two ways to load a roll. The easy loading procedure is recommended.
To start these procedures you must have a roll loaded on the spindle. See 
Load a roll onto the
spindle on page 23.
ENWWLoad a roll into the printer 25
Paper handling
 
						

							Easy loading procedure
1.Standing behind the printer, rest the spindles black end on the left side roll holder. Do not put the
end completely into the roll holder.
2.Rest the blue end of the spindle on the right side roll holder.
3.With both hands, push the spindle into both roll holders at the same time. The spindle snaps in
place.

							4.If the edge of the roll is torn (sometimes due to tape used to hold the end of the roll) or not straight,
pull the paper slightly beyond the cutting groove and use a cutter to cut a straight edge.
TIP:Cut the paper as straight as possible, as uneven paper does not load correctly.
5.Insert the edge of the paper into the feeder.
CAUTION:Do not push your fingers inside the printers paper path.
6.Roll the spindle into the feeder until you feel resistance. The printer detects the paper and feeds it
automatically into the printer.
7.Once the paper is fed into the printer, the front-panel display asks whether you are loading a roll
or a sheet. Select Roll with the Up and Down keys and press OK.

							8.Select your paper category and type.
TIP:If you have loaded a paper type whose name does not appear in the paper list, see The
paper type is not in the driver on page 113.
9.The printer checks the alignment and measures the width. It cuts a strip off the leading edge of
glossy or satin paper to ensure perfect quality; other paper types are not cut.
10.Look at the front panel; you may find some instructions there.
11.When the roll is aligned, the front panel displays the Ready message and the printer is ready to
print. If the roll is not aligned, follow the instructions on the front-panel display.
12.If the paper is loose on the roll, lightly rewind from the end of the spindle until tight.
NOTE:If you have an unexpected issue at any stage of the paper loading process, see The paper
cannot be loaded successfully on page 112.
TIP:When prints fall into the basket, they can be torn or marked by ink from other prints. To avoid this,
catch your prints as they are cut from the roll and do not stack prints in the basket. Alternatively, turn
off the automatic cutter, see 
Turn the automatic cutter on and off on page 40, and use the Form feed
and cut key to release your print.
