HP LaserJet M1005 User Manual

							Scanner resolution and color
If you are printing a scanned image, and the quality is not what you expected, you might have selected 
a resolution or color setting in th e scanner software that does not match your needs. Resolution and 
color affect the following features of scanned images: 
● Image clarity 
● Texture of gradations  (smooth or rough) 
● Scan time 
● File size 
Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi).
NOTE: Scanning ppi levels are not interchangeable with printing dpi (dots per inch) levels.
Color, grayscale, and black and white define the number of colors possible. You can adjust the scanner 
hardware resolution to up to 1200 ppi. The software can perform an enhanced resolution up to 
19,200 ppi. You can set  color and grayscale at 1 bit (black and white), or at 8 bit (256 levels of gray or 
color) to 24 bit (true color). 
The resolution and color guidelines table lists simple  tips that you can follow to meet your scanning 
needs.
NOTE: Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files that take up a large amount 
of disk space and slow the scanning process. Before setting the resolution and color, determine how
you are going to use the scanned image.

							Managing supplies
Checking supplies status
If the supplies levels are low, you can order supplies through your local HP dealer, by telephone, or
online. See 
Accessories and ordering information on page 101 for part numbers. See www.hp.com/go/
ljsupplies to order online.
Storing supplies
Follow these guidelines for storing print cartridges:
●Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it.
CAUTION:To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light for more than a few
minutes.
●See Environmental specifications on page 112 for operating and storage temperature ranges.
●Store the supply in a horizontal position.
●Store the supply in a dark, dry location away from heat and magnetic sources.
Replacing and recycling supplies
To install a new HP print cartridge, follow the instructions that are included in the box that contains the
new supply, or see the getting started guide.
To recycle supplies, place the used supply in the box in which the new supply arrived. Use the enclosed
return label to send the used supply to HP for recycling. For complete information, see the recycling
guide that is included with each new HP supply item. See 
HP LaserJet printing supplies on page 118
for more information about HPs recycling program.
Redistribute toner
If faded or light areas appear on the printed page, you might be able to temporarily improve print quality
by redistributing the toner.
1.Remove the print cartridge from the printer.
2.To redistribute the toner, gently rock the print cartridge from front to back.
CAUTION:If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothing in cold
water. Hot water sets toner into the fabric.
3.Reinsert the print cartridge into the printer, and close the print cartridge door. If the print is still light
or unacceptable, install a new print cartridge.
