HP LaserJet P3005x User Manual

							
Print job is extremely slow.
Cause
Solution
The job might be very complex.
The maximum speed of the device cannot be exceeded even
when more memory is added.
Printing speeds might be automatically reduced when printing
on custom-sized media.
Note: Slower speeds are expected when printing on narrow
paper, when printing from tray 1, or when using the  HIGH 2
fuser mode.Reduce the complexity of the page or try adjusting the print-
quality settings. If this problem  occurs frequently, add memory
to the device.
You are printing a PDF or PostScript (PS) file but are using a
PCL device driver. Try using the PS device driver
 rather than the PCL device
driver. (You can usually do this from a software program.)
Print job prints on both sides of the paper. 
Cause
Solution
The device is set for duplexing. See Open the printer drivers  to change the setting, or see the
online Help.
Print job contains only one page but the device processes the back side of the page as well (the page comes part of
the way out, and then goes back into the device).
Cause
Solution
The device is set for duplexing. Even if the print job contains
only one page, the device also processes the back side. See Open the printer drivers
 to change the setting, or see the
online Help.
Do not try to pull the page out of the device before duplexing
is complete. Jamming might result.
Pages print, but are totally blank.
Cause
Solution
The sealing tape might still be on the print cartridge.Remove the print cartridge and pull out the sealing tape.
Reinstall the print cartridge.
The file might have blank pages. Check the file  to make sure that it does not contain blank
pages.
The device prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete.
Cause
Solution
The device cable is loose or defective.Disconnect the device cable and re connect it. Try a print job
that you know works. If possible, attach the cable and device
to another computer and try a print job that you know works.
Finally, try a new cable.

The device prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete.
Cause
Solution
The wrong driver was selected in the software.Check the software device selection menu to make sure that
an HP LaserJet P3005 device is selected.
The software program is malfunctioning. Try printing a job from another program.
The device does not respond when you select Print in the software. 
Cause
Solution
The device is out of media.Add media.
The device might be in the manual-feed mode.Change the device from manual-feed mode.
The cable between the computer and the device is not
connected correctly.Disconnect and reconnect the cable.
The device cable is defective.If possible, attach the cable to another computer and print a
job that you know works. You  might also try using a different
cable.
The wrong device was selected in the software.Check the software device selection menu to make sure that
an HP LaserJet P3005 device is selected.
The device might have a jam.Clear any jams, paying careful attention to the duplexer area
(if your model has a duplexer). See Clear jams .
The software for the device is not configured for the device
port.Check the software device selection menu to make sure that
it is using the correct port. If the computer has more than one
port, make sure that the device is attached to the correct one.
The device is on a network and is not receiving a signal.Check cable connections. Reinstall the printing software. Print
a job that you know works.
Clear any stopped jobs from the print queue.
The device is not receiving power.If no lights are on, check the power cord connections. Check
the power switch. Check the power source.
The device is malfunctioning. C heck the control-panel display for messages and lights to
determine if the device is indicating an error. Note any
message and see 
Control-panel messages .

Control-panel message types
Four types of control-panel messages can indicate the status of or problems with the device.
Message typeDescription
Status messagesStatus messages reflect the current state of the device. They inform you of normal device operation
and require no interaction to clear them. They  change as the state of the device changes. Whenever
the device is ready, not busy, and has no pen ding warning messages, the status message Ready
appears if the device is online.
Warning messagesWarning messages inform you of data and print  errors. These messages typically alternate with
the  Ready  or status messages and remain until the 
 button is pressed. Some warning messages
are clearable. If  CLEARABLE WARNINGS  is set to JOB on the device  CONFIGURE DEVICE  menu,
the next print job clears these messages.
Error messagesError messages communicate that some action must  be performed, such as adding paper or clearing
a jam.
Some error messages are auto-continuable. If  AUTO-CONTINUE is set on the menus, the device will
continue normal operation after an auto-c ontinuable error message appears for 10 seconds.
NOTEPressing any button during the 10-second auto-continuable error message overrides
the auto-continue feature, and the button function takes precedence. For example, pressing
the  Stop  button pauses printing and offers the option to cancel the print job.
Critical-error messages Critical error messages inform you  of a device failure. Some of these messages can be cleared by
turning the device off and then on. These messages are not affected by the  AUTO-CONTINUE setting.
If a critical error persists, service is required.
