than 100 kb. Its only function is to check for printers connected via USB hourly. No data is collected. If a USB
printer is found, it then tries to locate a JetAdvantage Management Connector (JAMc) instance on the network. If
a JAMc is found, the HP Smart Device Agent Base is securely upgraded to a full Smart Device Agent from JAMc,
which will then allow printed pages to be accounted for in a Managed Print Services (MPS) account. The driver-
only web packs downloaded from hp.com for the printer and installed through the Add Printer wizard do not
install this service.
To uninstall the service, open the Control Panel, then select Programs or Programs and Features, then select
Add/Remove Programs or Uninstall a Program to remove the service. The le name is

1HP Maintenance/Long Life Consumables (LLC) life specications are estimations based on the LLC life test conditions listed below. Actual
individual life/yield during normal use varies depending on usage, environment, paper and other factors. Estimated life is not an implied
guarantee or warrantable.
The LLC life test conditions
●Print coverage: 5% evenly distributed across the page
●Environment: 17° to 25°C (62.6° to 77°F); 30%-70% relative humidity (RH)
●Media size: Letter/A4
●Media weight: 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain media
●Job size: 4 pages
●Short edge feed (A3) (i.e., Legal size media)
Factors that can reduce life from the conditions above:
●Media narrower than Letter/A4 widths (short edge feeds equal more mechanism activity per page)
●Paper heavier than 75 g/m2 (20 lb) (heavier media creates higher stress on printer components)
●Print jobs smaller than 4 image (smaller jobs mean more mechanism activity per page)

NOTE: For more information about creating shared network folders see Set up a shared folder
(c04431534).
1. If it is not already selected, select Save to a standard shared network folder.
2. In the UNC Folder Path eld, type a folder path.
The folder path can either be the fully-qualied domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \
\servername.us.companyname.net\scans) or the IP address of the server (e.g., \
\16.88.20.20\scans). Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP address.
NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via
DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster
because the printer does not need to use DNS to nd the destination server.
3. To automatically create a subfolder for scanned documents in the destination folder, select a
format for the subfolder name from the Custom Subfolder list.

(default is “Workgroup”), a user name and password must be entered in the corresponding
elds. However, if the folder is within a particular user’s folders and not Public, the user name
and password of that user must be used.
NOTE: An IP address might be necessary instead of a computer name. Many home routers do
not handle computer names well, and there is no Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case, it is
best to set up a static IP address on the shared PC to alleviate the problem of DHCP assigning a
new IP address. On a typical home router, this is done by setting a static IP address that is on
the same subnet, but outside the DHCP address range.
7. Click OK.
●Option two: Save to an FTP Server
NOTE: If an FTP site is outside the rewall, a proxy server must be specied under the network

For printers with fax capability
When the printer is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when
the printer resumes printing. This can occur if the printer has received more faxes than the memory can hold
while the printer is waiting.
The printer can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the Continue
option for the cartridge, but print quality might degrade.

Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds
Introduction
The following solutions can help solve problems if the printer is not picking up paper from the tray or is picking
up multiple sheets of paper at one time. Either of these situations can result in paper jams.
●The printer does not pick up paper
●The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper
●The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper
The printer does not pick up paper
If the printer does not pick up paper from the tray, try these solutions.
1. Open the printer and remove any jammed sheets of paper. Verify that no torn remnants of paper remain
inside the printer.
2. Load the tray with the correct size of paper for the job.
3. Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.
ENWW Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds 183
4. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the
appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the marking on
the tray.
NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or
markings in the tray.
The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most
HP printers have markings similar to these.
Figure 9-1 Size markings for Tray 1 or the multipurpose tray
Figure 9-2 Size markings for cassette trays
184 Chapter 9 Solve problems ENWW
5. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specications for this printer and that paper is being stored in
unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might
have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this
happens, remove the paper from the tray, and ex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the
ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the
stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static
electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.
Figure 9-3 Technique for exing the paper stack
12
6. Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper,
and continue.
7. The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with
warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.
CAUTION: Do not spray water directly on to the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth
in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.
The following image shows examples of the roller location for various printers.
Figure 9-4 Roller locations for Tray 1 or the multipurpose tray
The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper
If the printer picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions.
1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray and ex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and ip it over. Do not fan the
paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.
ENWW Printer does not pick up paper or misfeeds 185
NOTE: Fanning the paper introduces static electricity. Instead of fanning the paper, ex the stack by
holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse
the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper, and repeat this process. This process releases
individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before
returning it to the tray.

2. Use only paper that meets HP specications for this printer.
3. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specications for this printer, and that paper is being stored in
unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might
have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this
happens, remove the paper from the tray, and ex the stack as described above.
4. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a dierent package.
186 Chapter 9 Solve problems ENWW
5. Make sure the tray is not overlled by checking the stack-height markings inside the tray. If it is overlled,
remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten the stack, and then return some of the paper to
the tray.
The following images show examples of the stack-height markings in the trays for various printers. Most
HP printers have markings similar to these. Also make sure that all sheets of paper are below the tabs near
the stack-height marks. These tabs help hold the paper in the correct position as it enters the printer.

The document feeder jams, skews, or picks up multiple sheets of paper
NOTE: This information applies to MFP printers only.
●The original might have something on it, such as staples or self-adhesive notes, that must be removed.
●Check that all rollers are in place and that the roller-access cover inside the document feeder is closed.
●Make sure that the top document-feeder cover is closed.
●The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the paper guides to center the
stack.
●The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work correctly. Make sure that the paper
stack is straight and the guides are against the paper stack.
●The document feeder input tray or output bin might contain more than the maximum number of pages.
Make sure the paper stack ts below the guides in the input tray, and remove pages from the output bin.
●Verify that there are no pieces of paper, staples, paper clips, or other debris in the paper path.
●Clean the document-feeder rollers and the separation pad. Use compressed air or a clean, lint-free cloth
moistened with warm water. If misfeeds still occur, replace the rollers.
●From the Home screen on the printer control panel, scroll to and touch the Supplies button. Check the
status of the document-feeder kit, and replace it if necessary.

5. Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the Print dialog box, click Print or OK to
print the job.
Check paper and the printing environment
Complete the following steps to check the paper that you are using and the printer’s physical environment.
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specications. Problems could
include curled paper, light or faded printing, ink specks or smears, and misshapen characters. Follow these
guidelines when selecting paper:
●Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.
●Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids,
staples, and curled or bent edges.
●Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
●Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
●Use paper that is designed for HP PageWide printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for laser
printers.
●Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.
NOTE: For this printer, HP highly recommends using papers with the ColorLok® logo, based on HP internal
testing using a range of plain papers. For details, go to: www.hp.com/go/printpermanence.
Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly aect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding
issues. Try the following solutions:
●Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
●Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specications.
●Do not place the printer in a conned space, such as a cabinet.
ENWW Improve print quality 231
●Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
●Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air ow on all sides,
including the top.
●Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue
inside the printer.
Visually inspect the cartridge
Follow these steps to inspect each cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the gold-colored metal contacts on the edge of the cartridge. Fingerprints on the metal
contacts can cause print-quality problems.
1. Remove the cartridge from the printer, and verify that there is no debris in the cartridge path.
2. Check to see whether you are using a genuine HP cartridge. A genuine HP cartridge has the word “HP” on it,
or has the HP logo on it. For more information on identifying HP cartridges go to www.hp.com/go/
learnaboutsupplies.
3. Look at the gold-colored metal contacts on the cartridge.
●If you see any scratches, or other damage on the metal contacts, replace the cartridge.
●If the metal contacts do not appear to be damaged, push the cartridge gently back into its slot until it
locks in place. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
If you determine that you need to replace a cartridge, look on the cartridge or print the Supplies Status Page to
nd the part number for the correct original HP cartridge.
Relled or remanufactured cartridges
HP cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or remanufactured. Because they are not HP
products, HP cannot inuence their design or control their quality. If you are using a relled or remanufactured
cartridge and are not satised with the print quality, replace the cartridge with an original HP cartridge.
NOTE: If you replace a non-HP cartridge with an original HP cartridge, the printhead will still contain non-HP
ink. The print defect may remain until the printhead is depleted of that ink and is supplied with ink from the
newly installed, original HP cartridge. Depleting the ink may require printing as many as several thousand pages
of normal text.
232 Chapter 9 Solve problems ENWW
Clean the printer
During the printing process, paper and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer and can cause print-
quality issues such as smears, streaks, lines, or repeating marks. Begin by printing the Print Quality Report, and
then continue to the appropriate cleaning procedure.

256 Chapter 9 Solve problems ENWW
Reduce interference on a wireless network
The following tips can reduce interference in a wireless network:
●Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as ling cabinets, and other
electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones. These objects can disrupt radio
signals.
●Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures. These objects
can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.
●Position the wireless router in a central location in line of sight with the wireless printers on the network.
ENWW Solve wireless network problems 257
Solve fax problems
●Checklist for solving fax problems
●General fax problems
Checklist for solving fax problems
Use the following checklist to help identify the cause of any fax-related problems you encounter:
●Are you using the fax cable supplied with the fax accessory? This fax accessory has been tested with the
supplied fax cable to meet RJ11 and functional specications. Do not substitute another fax cable; the
analog-fax accessory requires an analog-fax cable. It also requires an analog phone connection.
●Is the fax/phone line connector seated in the outlet on the fax accessory? Make sure that the phone jack is
correctly seated in the outlet. Insert the connector into the outlet until it "clicks."
NOTE: Verify that the phone jack is connected to the fax port rather than to the network port. The ports
are similar.
●Is the phone wall jack working properly? Verify that a dial tone exists by attaching a phone to the wall jack.
Can you hear a dial tone, and can you make or receive a phone call?
What type of phone line are you using?
●Dedicated line: A standard analog fax/phone line assigned to receive or send faxes.
NOTE: The phone line should be for printer fax use only and not shared with other types of telephone
devices. Examples include alarm systems that use the phone line for notications to a monitoring
company.
●PBX system: A business-environment phone system. Standard home phones and the fax accessory use an
analog phone signal. Some PBX systems are digital and might not be compatible with the fax accessory.
You might need an interfacing Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) to connect the fax machine to digital PBX
systems.
●Roll-over lines: A phone system feature where a new call "rolls over" to the next available line when the
rst incoming line is busy. Try attaching the printer to the rst incoming phone line. The fax accessory
answers the phone after it rings the number of times set in the rings-to-answer setting.
Are you using a surge-protection device?
A surge-protection device can be used between the wall jack and the fax accessory to protect the fax accessory
against electrical power passed through the phone lines. These devices can cause some fax communication
problems by degrading the quality of the phone signal. If you are having problems sending or receiving faxes
and are using one of these devices, connect the printer directly to the phone jack on the wall to determine
whether the problem is with the surge-protection device.
Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering machine?
If the rings-to-answer setting for the messaging service is lower than the rings-to-answer setting for the fax
accessory, the messaging service answers the call, and the fax accessory cannot receive faxes. If the rings-to-
answer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service, the fax accessory answers all
calls.
258 Chapter 9 Solve problems ENWW
Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?
If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in
progress, which causes a communication error. Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on the fax
telephone line.
Check fax accessory status
If the analog-fax accessory does not appear to be functioning, print a Conguration Page report to check the
status.
1. From the Home screen, scroll to and select Reports.
2. Open the following menus:
●Conguration/Status Pages
●Conguration Page
3. Touch the Print button to print the report, or touch the View button to view the report on the screen. The
report consists of several pages.
NOTE: The printer IP address or host name is listed on the Jetdirect Page.
On the Fax Accessory Page of the Conguration Page, under the Hardware Information heading, check the
Modem Status. The following table identies the status conditions and possible solutions.
NOTE: If the Fax Accessory Page does not print, there might be a problem with the analog fax accessory. If you
are using LAN fax or Internet fax, those congurations could be disabling the feature.
Operational / Enabled1The analog-fax accessory is installed and ready.
Operational / Disabled1The fax accessory is installed, but you have not congured the
required fax settings yet.
The fax accessory is installed and operational; however, the
HP Digital Sending utility has either disabled the printer fax feature
or has enabled LAN fax. When LAN fax is enabled, the analog-fax
feature is disabled. Only one fax feature, either LAN fax or analog
fax, can be enabled at a time.
NOTE: If LAN fax is enabled, the Scan to Fax feature is unavailable
on the printer control panel.
Non-Operational / Enabled/Disabled1The printer has detected a rmware failure. Upgrade the rmware.
Damaged / Enabled/Disabled1The fax accessory has failed. Reseat the fax accessory card and
check for bent pins. If the status is still DAMAGED, replace the
analog-fax accessory card.
1ENABLED indicates that the analog-fax accessory is enabled and turned on; DISABLED indicates that LAN fax is enabled (analog fax is
turned o).
