ENWW Media paths 9
Media paths
Main input tray
The enclosed main input tray, located in front of the printer, holds up to 250 sheets of 20 lb paper,
multiple envelopes, or other media.
Priority input tray
You should use the priority input tray when feeding up to 10 sheets of 20 lb paper or when printing
single envelopes, postcards, labels, or transparencies. You can also use the priority input tray to
print the first page on different media than the rest of the document.
Note The printer automatically prints from the priority input tray before printing from the main input tray.
See Media for more information about media types.
Printer media guides
Both input trays have side media guides. The main input tray also has a rear media guide. Media
guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the printer and that the print is not skewed
(crooked on the media). When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the width and
length of the media that you are using.
10 Chapter 1 ENWW
Straight-through output path
The straight-through output path is useful when you are printing envelopes, transparencies, heavy
media, or any media that tends to curl when printed. Printed media exits in reverse order when the
straight-through output door is open.
Note Printed media does not stack when you use the straight-through output path. The media drops to
the surface below unless you remove each sheet as it exits the printer.
Output bin
The output bin is located on the top of the printer. Printed media is collected here in the correct
sequence when the straight-through output door is closed. Use the output bin when printing
normal and large, collated documents.
ENWW Print cartridge access 11
Print cartridge access
Print cartridge door
The print cartridge door is located on the front of the printer. You must open the print cartridge door
to access the print cartridge, clear jams, and clean the printer. To open the print cartridge door,
firmly grasp the left and right sides and pull the print cartridge door toward you.
Note You will feel some resistance when opening the print cartridge door. Opening the print cartridge door
conveniently lifts the print cartridge for easy removal.

Printer properties (driver)
Printer properties control the printer. You can change the default settings, such as media size
and type, printing multiple pages on a single sheet of media (N-up printing), resolution,
and watermarks. You can access the printer properties in the following ways:
●Through the software application that you are using to print. This only changes the settings
for the current software application.
●Through the Windows® operating system. This changes the default settings for all future
print jobs.
Note Because many software applications use a different method of accessing the printer properties,
the following section describes the most common methods used in Windows 98, 2000, Millennium,
and Windows XP.

Print setting priorities
There are three ways to change print settings for this printer: in the software application, in the
printer driver, and in the HP toolbox. For the HP LaserJet 1300 series printer, you can also change
print settings through the embedded Web server. Changes made to print settings are prioritized
according to where the changes are made, as follows:
●Changes made in the software application override settings changed anywhere else. Within a
software application, changes made in the Page Setup dialog box override changes made in
the Print dialog box.
●Changes made in the printer driver (Printer Properties dialog box) override settings in the
HP toolbox. Changes made in the printer driver do not override settings in the software
application.
●Changes made in the HP toolbox and the embedded Web server have the lowest priority.
If a particular print setting can be changed in more than one of the ways listed above, use the
method that has the highest priority.
Printer properties online help
The printer properties (driver) online help includes specific information about the functions in the
printer properties. This online help guides you through the process of changing your printer’s
default settings. For some drivers, online Help gives instructions on using context-sensitive Help.
Context-sensitive Help describes the options for the driver feature you are currently accessing.
To access the printer properties online help

●Choosing paper and other media
●Optimizing print quality for media types
●Loading media into the input trays
●Printing on transparencies or labels
●Printing on envelopes
●Printing on letterhead and preprinted forms
●Printing on custom-sized media and cardstock
24 Chapter 2 ENWW
Choosing paper and other media
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of
media, such as paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels,
transparencies, and custom-sized media. The following are the supported media sizes:
●Minimum: 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.)
●Maximum: 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in)
Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors that affect printer
performance and quality. To achieve the best possible print quality, only use high-quality media
designed for laser printers. See Printer media specifications for detailed paper and media
specifications.
Note Always test a sample of the media before you purchase large quantities. Your media supplier should
understand the requirements specified in the HP LaserJet printer family print media guide (HP part
number 5963-7863). See Printer media specifications for more information.
ENWW Choosing paper and other media 25
Media to avoid
The HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series printers can handle many types of media. Use of media
outside the printer’s specifications will cause a loss of print quality and increase the chance of
paper jams occurring.
●Do not use paper that is too rough.
●Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard 3-hole punched paper.
●Do not use multipart forms.
●Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid patterns.
Media that may damage the printer
In rare circumstances media can damage the printer. The following media must be avoided to pre-
vent possible damage:
●Do not use media with staples attached.
●Do not use transparencies designed for inkjet printers or other low temperature printers. Use
only transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.
●Do not use photo paper intended for inkjet printers.
●Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed for the temperatures of the
printer’s image fuser. Select media that can tolerate temperatures of 200° C (392° F) for 0.1
second. HP produces a selection of media that is designed for the HP LaserJet 1150 and
1300 series printers.
●Do not use letterhead paper with low temperature dyes or thermography. Preprinted forms or
letterhead must use inks that can tolerate temperatures of 200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second.
●Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, offsets, or discolors
when exposed to 200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second.
To order HP LaserJet printing supplies, go to http://www.hp.com/go/ljsupplies in the U.S. or to
http://www.hp.com/ghp/buyonline.html worldwide.
26 Chapter 2 ENWW
Optimizing print quality for media types
Media type settings control the temperature of your printer’s fuser. You can change the settings for
the media that you are using to optimize the print quality.
You can access the optimizing feature from the Paper tab in your printer driver or from
HP Toolbox.
Printing speeds are automatically reduced when printing special-sized media.
ENWW Loading media into the input trays 27
Loading media into the input trays
Main input tray
The main input tray holds up to 250 pages of 20 lb paper or fewer pages of heavier media (25 mm
or less stack). Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent
jams and skewing, always adjust the side and rear media guides.
Priority input tray
The priority input tray holds up to 10 pages of 20 lb paper or one envelope, transparency, or card.
Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and
skewing, always adjust the side media guides.
CAUTION If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might occur. See
Printer media specifications for more information.
Note When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through
the printer at one time, reducing media jams.
Specific types of media
●Transparencies and labels: Load transparencies and labels with the top forward and the
side to be printed facing up. See Printing on transparencies or labels for more information.
●Envelopes: Load envelopes with the narrow, stamp side forward and the side to be printed
facing up. See Printing on envelopes for more information.
●Letterhead or preprinted forms: Load with the top forward and the side to be printed facing
up. See Printing on letterhead and preprinted forms for more information.

Using HP print cartridges
HP policy on non-HP print cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP print cartridges, either new,
refilled, or remanufactured. Since they are not HP products, Hewlett-Packard cannot influence
their design or control their quality. Service or repair that is required as a result of using non-HP
print cartridges will not be covered under the printer warranty.
Note The warranty does not apply to defects resulting from software, interfacing, or parts not supplied by
Hewlett-Packard.
ENWW Storing print cartridges 49
Storing print cartridges
Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a
print cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2.5 years. The shelf life of a print
cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light.
50 Chapter 4 ENWW
Print cartridge life expectancy
The life of the print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When
printing text at 5 percent coverage, the print cartridge lasts for the following average amounts:
●HP LaserJet 1150 printer: 2,500 pages
●HP LaserJet 1300 series printer: 2,500 pages (a replacement cartridge that lasts for
4,000 pages is also available)
This life expectancy assumes that you set the print density to 3 and turn EconoMode off. (These
are the default settings.)
52 Chapter 4 ENWW
Redistributing toner
When toner is low, faded or light areas appear on the printed page. You might be able to
temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner, which means that you might be able to
finish the current print job before replacing the print cartridge.
Note You will feel some resistance when you open the print cartridge door. Opening the print cartridge
door conveniently lifts the print cartridge for removal.
1Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge from the printer.
CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover it with a sheet of paper.
2To redistribute the toner, gently shake the print cartridge from side to side.
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.
3Reinsert the print cartridge into the printer, and close the print cartridge door.
If the print is still light, install a new print cartridge. See Changing the print cartridge for
instructions.
ENWW Changing the print cartridge 53
Changing the print cartridge

Using the embedded Web server
The embedded Web server is available for HP LaserJet 1300 series printers with LIO network
connections. The embedded Web server provides the same functions as the Advanced Printer
Settings section of the HP toolbox. The main differences between using the embedded Web
server and using the HP toolbox are the following:
●You do not need to install any software on the computer. You only need to have a supported
Web browser. To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer
5.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.75 or later.
●The embedded Web server is available in English only.
●The embedded Web server does not provide e-mail or status alerts.
●The embedded Web server is supported by more operating systems than the HP toolbox,
including Windows 95, Windows NT, Linux, and UNIX®.
The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing
functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. Below are examples of
what you can do using the embedded Web server:
●view printer status information
●view and print internal pages
●determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones
●set the type of paper loaded in each tray
●view and change tray configurations
●view and change the printer default configuration settings
●view and change network configuration
The embedded Web server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The
embedded Web server does not support IPX- or AppleTalk-based printer connections.
Note You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server. However, if
you click a link in the Other Links area, you must have Internet access in order to go to the site
associated with the link.
To open the embedded Web server
1In a supported Web browser, type the IP address or hostname for the printer. To find the IP
address, print a Configuration page at the printer by pressing and holding Go for 5 seconds.
Note Once you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future.

ENWW Wireless printing 67
Wireless printing
Wireless networks offer a safe, secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wired network
connections. See Ordering supplies and accessories for a list of available wireless print servers.
IEEE 802.11b standard
With the wireless HP Jetdirect 802.11b print server, HP peripherals can be placed anywhere in the
office or home and connected to a wireless network running Microsoft, Apple, Netware, UNIX, or
Linux network operating systems. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing
solution without the physical constraints of wiring. Peripherals can be conveniently placed
anywhere in an office or home and can be easily moved without changing network cables.
Installation is easy with the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.
HP Jetdirect 802.11b print servers are available for USB and parallel connections.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth™ wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to
wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants, cell phones, and other devices.
Unlike infra-red technology, Bluetooth's reliance on radio signals means that devices do not have
to be in the same room, office, or cubicle with an unobstructed line of sight in order to
communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business
network applications.
The HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series printers have incorporated Bluetooth wireless technology.
Bluetooth adaptors are available for USB and parallel connections.

Toner scatter outline
Return to Finding the solution.
●If large amounts of toner have scattered around the characters,
the media might be resisting the toner. (A small amount of toner
scatter is normal for laser printing.) Try a different media type.
See Printer media specifications for more information.
●Turn over the stack of media in the tray.
●Use media designed for laser printers. See Printer media
specifications for more information.
ENWW Clearing jams 89
Clearing jams
Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include the
following:
●The input trays are loaded improperly or too full. See Loading media into the input trays for
more information.
●The media does not meet HP specifications. See Printer media specifications for more
information.
Note When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the
stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at
one time, reducing media jams.
You are notified of a media jam by an error in the software and the printer control panel lights. See
Status light patterns for more information.
Typical media jam locations
●Print cartridge area: See Removing a jammed page for instructions.
●Input tray areas: If the page is still sticking out of the input tray, gently try to remove it from the
input tray without tearing the page. If you feel resistance, see Removing a jammed page for
instructions.
●Output paths: If the page is sticking out of the output bin, gently try to remove it without
tearing the page. If you feel resistance, see Removing a jammed page for instructions.
Note There might be loose toner in the printer after a media jam. This toner clears up after a few sheets
print.
90 Chapter 6 ENWW
Removing a jammed page
CAUTION Media jams might result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them
in cold water. Hot water will permanently set the toner into the fabric.
1Open the print cartridge door and the straight-through output door.
2Rotate the green pressure release levers downward. If you can remove the media without
removing the print cartridge, do so, and continue with step 4.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light.
3Remove the print cartridge, and place it aside.
ENWW Clearing jams 91
4With both hands, grasp the side of the media that is most visible (this includes the middle),
and carefully pull it free from the printer.
5If no media is visible, grasp the tab on the right-hand side of the upper media guide and pull it
forward. Carefully pull the media up and out of the printer.
6When you have removed the jammed media, replace the print cartridge, and close the print
cartridge door and the straight-through output door.
Note The pressure release levers automatically close when you close the straight-through output door.
After clearing a media jam, you might need to turn the printer off and turn it back on.
Note When you add new media, remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of
new media.

Printer media specifications
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer accepts a variety of media, such
as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and
custom-sized paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors
affecting printer performance and output quality.
The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in
this user guide. Media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:
●Poor print quality
●Increased media jams
●Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot
recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or
control their quality.
It is possible for media to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce
satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and
humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
Before you purchase a large quantity of media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified
in this user guide and in Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media. (See Ordering supplies and
accessories for more information about ordering the guidelines.) Always test media before you
purchase a large quantity.
CAUTION Using media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard’s specifications might cause problems for the printer,
requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.
ENWW Supported media sizes 115
Supported media sizes
The following are the supported media sizes:
●Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.)
●Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in.)
116 Appendix B ENWW
Guidelines for using media
Paper
For best results, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m2) paper. Make sure that the paper is of good
quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or
bent edges.
If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the
label on the package of paper.
Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.
Note The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or
preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the printer temperature (200° C or 392° F for
0.1 second).
Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types
of thermography.
Do not use raised letterhead.
Do not use transparencies designed for inkjet printers or other low temperature printers. Use only
transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.
Paper usage
Symptom Problem with paper Solution
Poor print quality or toner
adhesion.
Problems with feeding.
Too moist, too rough, too
smooth, or embossed.
Faulty paper lot.
Try another kind of paper:
between 100-250 Sheffield
and 4-6 percent moisture
content.
Dropouts, jamming, or curl. Stored improperly. Store paper flat in its
moisture-proof wrapping.
Increased gray background
shading. Might be too heavy. Use lighter paper.
Excessive curl.
Problems with feeding. Too moist, wrong grain
direction, or short-grain
construction.
Use long-grain paper.
Print using the
straight-through output path.
Jamming or damage to printer. Cutouts or perforations. Do not use paper with cutouts
or perforations.
Problems with feeding. Ragged edges. Use good quality paper.
ENWW Guidelines for using media 117
Labels
Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following components:
●Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s
maximum temperature.
●Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off
sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
●Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) of curl in any
direction.
●Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
Transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s maximum temperature.
118 Appendix B ENWW
Envelopes
Envelope construction
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between
manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the
following components:
●Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 28 lb (105 g/m2), or jamming
might result.
●Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl
and should not contain air. Envelopes that trap air may cause problems.
●Condition: Make sure that the envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
●Sizes: From 90 x 160 mm (3.5 x 6.3 in.) to 178 x 254 mm (7 x 10 in.).
Envelopes with double-side seams
An envelope with double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope
rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Make sure that the seam
extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in the following illustration:
1acceptable envelope construction
2unacceptable envelope construction
Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use
adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer: 200° C (392° F). The extra flaps
and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.
Envelope storage
Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If
air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

ENWW Guidelines for using media 119
Card stock and heavy media
You can print many types of card stock from the paper input tray, including index cards and
postcards. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited
for feeding through a laser printer.
For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 42 lb (157 g/m2). Paper that is
too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print
quality, or excessive mechanical wear.
Note You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if you use
paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.
Card stock construction
●Smoothness: 36-42 lb (135-157 g/m2) card stock should have a smoothness rating of
100-180 Sheffield. 16-36 lb (60-135 g/m2) card stock should have a smoothness rating of
100-250 Sheffield.
●Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 in.) of curl.
●Condition: Make sure that the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
●Sizes: Only use card stock within the following size ranges:
•Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.)
•Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14.0 in.)
Card stock guidelines
Set margins at least 2 mm (0.08 in.) away from the edges.

problem might be related to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
In a DHCP environment, a DHCP server allocates IP addresses as computers and printers on the
network need them. DHCP-supplied addresses are dynamic and might cause problems for
computers and printers, which expect IP addresses to be static.
If your print server acquired its IP address via DHCP, the IP address might have changed after you
set up the printer. In this case, the printer is no longer available to the network. HP recommends
configuring the print server with a static IP address.
To assign a static IP address
Note Consult your network administrator before changing the print server’s IP address. Be sure to notify
other users of any changes.
1Open a Web browser and type the print server’s current IP address as the URL.
2Click the Networking tab.
3In the TCP/IP section, change the configuration method to Manual.
4Type a new IP address in the IP address box.
Note You will lose your connection to the embedded Web server when you change the IP address. To
re-establish the connection, type the new IP address in the browser’s URL field.
