•Port 9100: The printer supports raw IP printing through TCP Port 9100. This
HP-proprietary TCP/IP port on the printer is the default port for printing. It is
accessed by HP software (for example, the HP Standard Port).
•LPD: Line Printer Daemon (LPD) refers to the protocol and programs
associated with line-printer spooling services that may be installed on various
TCP/IP systems.
NOTE:The LPD functionality can be used with any host implementation of
LPD that complies with the RFC 1179 document. The process for
configuring printer spoolers, however, might differ. See your system
documentation for information about configuring these systems.
•Bonjour: Bonjour services (which use mDNS, or Multicast Domain Name
System) are typically used on small networks for IP address and name
resolution (through UDP port 5353), where a conventional DNS server is not
used.
•SLP: Service Location Protocol (SLP) is an Internet standard network protocol
that provides a framework to allow networking applications to discover the
existence, location, and configuration of networked services in enterprise
networks. This protocol simplifies discovery and use of network resources such
as printers, Web servers, fax machines, video cameras, files systems, backup
devices (tape drives), databases, directories, mail servers, calendars.
•Microsoft Web Services: Enable or disable the Microsoft Web Services
Dynamic Discovery (WS Discovery) protocols or Microsoft Web Services for
Devices (WSD) Print services supported on the printer. Disable unused print
services to prevent access through those services.
NOTE:For more information about WS Discovery and WSD Print, visit
www.microsoft.com.
•SNMP: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used by network
management applications for device management. The printer supports
SNMPv1 protocol on IP networks.
•WINS: If you have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on
your network, the printer automatically obtains its IP address from that server
and registers its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name
services as long as a WINS server IP address has been specified.
5. Connected PC(s): Lists the computers connected to this printer, as well as the last
time these computers accessed the printer.

Clear jams
Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a job. Try the following remedies to
reduce jams.
• Make sure that you are printing with media that meets specifications. For more
information, see 
Media specifications.
• Make sure that you are printing with media that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
• Make sure that the printer is clean. For more information, see 
Maintain the printer.
• Make sure that the trays are loaded correctly and are not too full. For more
information, see 
Load media.

Clear paper jams
If the paper was loaded in the main tray, you might need to clear the paper jam from
the rear door.
Paper can also jam in the automatic document feeder (ADF). Several common actions
can cause paper to jam the ADF:
• Placing too much paper in the ADF tray. For information on the maximum number
of sheets allowed in the ADF, see 
Load an original on the scanner glass.
• Using paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer.
• Trying to add paper to the ADF tray while the printer is feeding pages.
To clear a jam
Use these steps to clear a paper jam.
1.Grasp the right end of the duplexer and slide to the left, and then pull the duplexer
towards you.

CAUTION:Trying to clear a paper jam from the front of the printer can
damage the print mechanism. Always access and clear paper jams through the
duplexer.
2.Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.
CAUTION:If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check
the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside
the printer. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more
paper jams are likely to occur.
3.Replace the duplexer or the rear access panel. Gently push the door forward until it
snaps into place.
4.Touch OK to continue the current job.
To clear a paper jam in the automatic document feeder (ADF)

3.Close the cover of the ADF.
Avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
• Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
• Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable
bag.
• Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or
torn.
• Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire
stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
• Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make
sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
• Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.
• Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. For more information, see
Media specifications.
NOTE:Humidity may cause paper to curl and hence paper jam.
