ENWW Chapter 1 Printer Basics 3
Printer Features
Fast Print
Speed
zPrints letter-size paper 19 pages-per-minute (ppm) or A4-size
paper 18 ppm (with Motorola RISC-based formatter).
Built-in Duplexing zPrinting on both sides of paper (two-sided printing) is a standard
feature of the printer. (See Printing on Both Sides of Paper
(Duplexing).)
Excellent Print
Quality
zTrue 1200 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) text and graphics.
zResolution Enhancement technology (REt) adjusts the size
and placement of each dot on the page to produce smooth
angles, curves, and edges (300 and 600 dpi only).
zAdjustable settings to optimize print quality.
zThe HP UltraPrecise toner cartridge has a finer toner formulation
which provides sharper text and graphics.
Flexible Paper
Handling
zAdjustable Tray 1 (pull-down) for letterhead, envelopes, labels,
transparencies, custom-sized media, postcards, and heavy paper.
See Loading Media into Tray 1.
zAdjustable Tray 2 or an Optional 250-sheet Tray (Tray 3) for
standard sizes of paper. See Loading Media into Tray 2 or Optional
250-sheet Tray 3.
zOptional 500-sheet Tray (Tray 3) for letter and A4-size paper.
See Loading Media into Optional 500-sheet Tray 3.
zTwo output bins: select either the top output bin or the rear
output bin for the most convenient output location.
zStraight-through paper path capability from Tray 1 to the rear
output bin.
zBuilt-in duplexing. (See Printing on Both Sides of Paper
(Duplexing).)
Expandability zOptional Tray 3 (250-sheet or 500-sheet), so you will not have to
add paper as often.
zEnhanced Input Output (EIO) cards. See Interface Ports.
zDual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) slots for adding memory
and fonts.
PCL Printer
Language and Fonts
zFast printing performance, built-in Intellifont and TrueType scaling
technologies, built-in HP-GL/2 vector graphics, and advanced
imaging capabilities are benefits of the PCL 6 printer language.
PCL 6 also includes 45 scalable TrueType fonts and one
bitmapped Line Printer Font.
4 Chapter 1 Printer Basics ENWW
PS Language and
Fonts
zPostScript Level 2 emulation with 35 built-in PS language
fonts included.
Automatic Language
Switching
zWhen optional printer languages (such as PostScript Level 2
emulation) are installed, the printer automatically determines
and switches to the appropriate language for the print job.
Wireless Printing zThe printer supports wireless printing from an IrDA-compliant
device, such as a notebook computer, camera, cell phone,
or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
zIrReady 2000
Interface Connections zBidirectional ECP type-B parallel port (IEEE-1284 compliant)
zUSB port
zEIO slot
zWireless Fast Infrared port (IrDA compliant)
Networking zThe printer provides an EIO slot for HP JetDirect EIO print servers
for fast and easy connectivity.
Enhanced Memory
and Memory
Expansion
zThe HP LaserJet 2200 series printers come with 8 MB of memory
and can be expanded to 72 MB with the two available memory
(DIMM) slots. (The HP LaserJet 2200dtn has 16 MB and one
available DIMM slot.) Most documents can be printed using the
standard amount of printer memory through the aid of Memory
Enhancement technology (MEt). MEt automatically compresses
data, virtually doubling the printer’s memory and allowing more
complex printing with available memory.
Energy Savings zThe printer automatically conserves electricity by substantially
reducing power consumption when not printing.
zAs an ENERGY STAR partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has
determined that this product meets ENERGY STAR guidelines
for energy efficiency.
Economical Printing zN-up printing and two-sided printing with the built-in duplexer saves
paper. (See Printing on Both Sides of Paper (Duplexing) and
Printing Multiple Pages on One Sheet of Paper (N-up Printing).)
zEconoMode saves toner.
zFor tips on reducing the amount of paper use or extending the life of
the toner cartridge, see Printing Tasks.

HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You
can print on a variety of print media, such as paper (including up to
100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, overhead
transparencies, and custom-sized media. Properties such as weight,
grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer
performance and output quality.
To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality,
copier-grade paper. See Media Specifications for more details.
Note Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities.
Your paper supplier should understand the requirements specified
in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. See Media
Specifications for more information. For ordering information, see
Supplementary Documentation, or go to http://www.hp.com/ljsupplies.

Printing on Both Sides of Paper (Duplexing)
The HP LaserJet 2200d, 2200dt, 2200dn, and 2200dtn printers can
automatically print on both sides of paper. This is called duplexing or
two-sided printing. (The HP LaserJet 2200 printer supports manual
duplexing.)
The duplexer supports letter, A4, 8.5 x 13, and legal paper sizes.
If you want to duplex paper other than the supported sizes or weights
(for example, paper heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb) or very thin paper),
you will have to go to the printer and reinsert the paper manually after
the first side has printed. You will also have to reinsert the paper
manually if you select Straight Paper Path in your printer driver.
Follow the instructions in the driver.
CAUTION Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, or vellum.
Damage to the printer and paper jamming might result.
Automatic Duplexing (Printing Both Sides of Paper)
To print on both sides of paper, make the selection from your software
application or printer driver (select Print on Both Sides from the
Finishing tab). For non-Windows operating systems, this feature
may be available through HP Web JetAdmin (see HP Web JetAdmin).
Note When using the built-in duplexer, the paper you are printing will partially
come out of the top output bin. Do not grab the paper until duplexing
is complete.
Note For automatic duplexing, the duplexer will not function if the rear output
bin is open.
ENWW Chapter 2 Printing Tasks 47
Manual Duplexing (Printing Both Sides of Paper)
The duplexer prints the second side of paper first. Paper needs to be
oriented as shown in the illustration below.
zFor Tray 1, load the first side facing down with the bottom,
short edge toward the printer.
zFor all other trays, load the first side facing up with the top,
short edge toward the printer.
To print on both sides of paper, make the following selections in your
software application or printer driver:
1. In the Configure tab, select "Allow Manual Duplex."
2. In the Paper tab, select "Print on Both Sides."

for the first page, the settings in the application will override the driver.
ENWW Chapter 2 Printing Tasks 59
Language
Click the down arrow, then select the language (for example; English,
French, German) that you want used in device generated reports,
such as the configuration report and the demo page.
Tray Lock
Tray Lock is a feature that allows you to “lock” a tray so that the only
time the printer will draw from that tray is when it is specifically
requested, or if a tray override was requested and all unlocked trays
are empty. This is useful when you want to put special paper in a tray,
such as letterhead. For example, if you are using “First Available
Tr ay, ” for the paper source and you lock Tray 1, the printer will only
draw from the remaining trays, either Tray 2 or optional Tray 3, if it is
installed. You can still print from the locked tray, but you must specify
the source. See Selecting a Paper Source.
Note The feature will not allow you to lock all the trays. One tray must be
“unlocked.”
Windows
1. Run the HP LaserJet Device Configuration or HP Web JetAdmin.
2. From the Tray Setup tab, select the tray you wish to lock.
Macintosh
For Macintosh computers, this setting is available in the
HP LaserJet Utility. (See Accessing the HP LaserJet Device
Configuration or HP LaserJet Utility).
60 Chapter 2 Printing Tasks ENWW
Printing by Size of Paper
Note For printing by type of paper, see Tray Lock.
You can configure the printer to select paper by size (such as letter or
A4), as opposed to source (a paper tray).
If you frequently use several different sizes of paper, once trays are
set up correctly using the HP LaserJet Device Configuration, you do
not have to check which size is loaded in each tray before you print.
To print by size of paper, do the following:
1. Be sure to adjust and load the trays correctly. (See the sections
on loading paper, starting with Loading Media into Tray 1.)
2. From the Tray Setup tab in the HP LaserJet Device Configuration,
select the paper size for each tray.
3. From the software or printer driver, select the desired size of
paper. From a Windows application, click File and select Page
Setup (software) or click File and select Print and then Properties
(printer driver).
Note The size settings may also be configured from HP Web JetAdmin.
See HP Web JetAdmin.
Settings in the printer driver and software application override printer
settings made in the configuration utility. (Software application settings
override printer driver settings.)
Save Settings to a File
This feature allows the current device settings to be easily saved to a
file and later restored if desired. Click this button to save the currently
displayed settings on all of the tabs to a file.
Retrieve Settings from a File
Click this button to retrieve a set of previously stored device settings
from a file. After retrieving these settings, click OK or Apply to update
all of the settings on the device with the retrieved values.

Managing the UltraPrecise Toner Cartridge
HP Policy on Non-HP Toner Cartridges
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend use of non-HP toner
cartridges, either new, refilled, or remanufactured. Because they
are not HP products, HP cannot influence their design or control
their quality.
Toner Cartridge Storage
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are
ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package
is approximately 2.5 years. The shelf life of a cartridge in an opened
package is approximately 6 months.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that
print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, an HP LaserJet
2200 series toner cartridge lasts an average of 5,000 pages.
This assumes the print density is set to 3 and EconoMode is off.
(These are the default settings.)
Recycling Toner Cartridges
To install a new HP toner cartridge and recycle the used cartridge,
follow the instructions included in the new toner cartridge box.
See HP LaserJet Printing Supplies for more information on recycling
toner cartridges.
64 Chapter 3 Printer Tips and Maintenance ENWW
4Reinsert the toner cartridge into the
printer and close the top cover.
If the print remains light, install a new
toner cartridge. (Follow the instructions
provided with the new toner cartridge.)

ENWW Chapter 3 Printer Tips and Maintenance 65
Cleaning the Printer
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedure on the
following pages every time the toner cartridge is changed or
whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible,
keep the printer free from dust and debris.
zClean the outside of the printer with a lightly water-dampened
cloth.
zClean the inside with a dry, lint-free cloth.
CAUTION Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the printer. While
cleaning the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located
underneath the toner cartridge). Skin oils on the roller can cause print
quality problems.
Using the Printer Cleaning Process
During the printing process, paper, toner and dust particles can
accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print
quality problems such as toner specks or smearing. This printer has a
cleaning mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.
Engine Cleaning
This process uses a transparency from Tray 1 to remove dust and
toner from the paper path. Use this process if toner specks or dots
appear on printouts. This process will provide a blank page which
should be discarded.
ENWW Chapter 3 Printer Tips and Maintenance 67
Internal Cleaning Procedure
Over time, particles of toner and paper
will begin to accumulate inside the
printer. This may cause print quality
problems during printing. Cleaning the
printer will eliminate or reduce these
problems.
WARNING!
Before cleaning the printer, turn the
printer off and unplug the power cable.
1Open the top cover.
2Remove the toner cartridge.
CAUTION
To prevent damage, do not expose the
toner cartridge to light. Place a piece of
paper over the top of the toner cartridge
to shield it while it is out of the printer.
3With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any
residue from the paper path area
and the toner cartridge cavity.
4Replace the toner cartridge
and close the top cover. Plug in
the power cable, and turn the

zThe toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend
the toner cartridge life. See Redistributing the Toner. If this does
not improve the print quality, install a new HP toner cartridge.
zThe paper may not meet HP’s paper specifications (for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough). See Media Specifications.
zIf the whole page is light, the print density adjustment is too light
or EconoMode may be on. Adjust the print density and
EconoMode within the software driver. See Using EconoMode or
Draft Printing. For non-Windows operating systems, this feature
is also available in HP Web JetAdmin.
Toner Specks
zThe paper may not meet HP’s paper specifications (for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough). See Media Specifications.
zThe transfer roller may be dirty. See Internal Cleaning Procedure.
zThe paper path may need cleaning. See Engine Cleaning.
Dropouts
If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:
zA single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.
zThe moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has
moist spots on its surface. Try paper from a different source.
See Media Specifications.
zThe paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause
some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
See Media Specifications.
zThe toner cartridge may be defective. See Vertical Repetitive
Defects.
zIf these steps do not correct the problem, contact an HP-
authorized dealer or service representative. See HP Customer
Care (Service and Support).
ENWW Chapter 4 Problem Solving 87
Vertical Lines
If black or white vertical streaks appear on the page:
zThe photosensitive drum inside the toner cartridge has probably
been scratched or is worn out. Install a new HP toner cartridge.
Gray Background
If the amount of background toner shading becomes unacceptable,
the procedures described below may help to clear the condition:
zDecrease the density setting through the HP LaserJet Device
Configuration (Windows) or from the HP LaserJet Utility
(Macintosh). This will decrease the amount of background
shading.
zChange the paper to a lighter basis weight. See Media
Specifications.
zCheck the printer’s environment; very dry (low humidity)
conditions can increase the amount of background shading.
zInstall a new HP toner cartridge.
Toner Smear
zIf toner smears appear on the leading edge of the paper, the
paper guides are dirty. See Internal Cleaning Procedure.
zCheck the paper type and quality. See Media Specifications.
zTry installing a new HP toner cartridge.
Loose Toner
zClean the inside of the printer. See Internal Cleaning Procedure.
zCheck the paper type and quality. See Media Specifications.
zTry installing a new HP toner cartridge.
zIn the printer driver, select the Paper tab and set Optimize for:
to match the type of paper you are printing. Print speed may be
slower if you are using heavy paper. For non-Windows operating
systems, this feature is also available in HP Web JetAdmin.
ENWW Chapter 4 Problem Solving 89
Wrinkles or Creases
zMake sure that paper is loaded properly.
zCheck the paper type and quality. See Media Specifications.
zOpen the rear door and try printing to the rear output bin.
zTurn over the stack of paper in the tray or try rotating the paper
180° in the input tray.
Toner Scatter Outline
zIf large amounts of toner have scattered around the characters,
the paper may have high resistivity. (Small amounts of toner
scatter is normal for laser printing.) Try a different paper type.
See Media Specifications.
zTurn over the stack of paper in the tray.
zUse paper designed for laser printers. See Media Specifications.
Random Image Repetition
If an image that appears at the top of the page (in solid black) repeats
further down the page (in gray field), the toner may not have been
completely erased from the last job. (The repeated image may be
lighter or darker than the field it appears in.)
zChange the tone (darkness) of the field that the repeated image
appears in.
zChange the order in which the images are printed. For example,
have the lighter image at the top of the page, and the darker
image further down the page.
zFrom your software application, rotate the whole page 180° to
print the lighter image first.
zIf the defect occurs later in a print job, turn the printer off for ten
minutes, and then turn the printer on to restart the print job.

The connection cannot be
established or the
transmission seems to be
taking longer than usual
(continued).
Bright lights are interfering
with the signal.
Make sure that no bright light
is shining directly into either IR
port. Bright light of any kind
(sunlight, incandescent light,
fluorescent light, or light from
an infrared remote control,
such as those used for TVs
and VCRs) shining directly into
one of the IR ports may cause
interference. Position the
device closer to the IR port on
the printer.
The printer prints only part of a
page or document.
The connection has been
interrupted during
transmission.
IrDA-compliant devices are
designed to recover from
temporary connection
interruptions. Re-establish the
connection. (Depending on the
device you are using, it can
take anywhere from 3 to 40
seconds to re-establish the
connection.)
The print job has been
properly sent to the printer, but
the printer will not print.
The connection may have
been disrupted or broken.
If the connection is broken
before the print job has
started, the printer may not
print any of the job. If the
Ready (middle) light is on,
press JOB CANCEL to clear the
printer memory. Position the
device within the range of
operation and print the job
again.
The FIR status light turns off
during transmission.
The connection may have
been broken.
If the Ready (middle) light is
on, press JOB CANCEL to clear
the printer memory. Position
the device within the range of
operation and print the job
again.

Attention with the Ability to Continue
The Attention (red) light is blinking and the GO (green) light is on. An
error has occurred that has caused the printer to halt the current print
job. There are three possible causes for the Attention with the Ability
to Continue message:
zManual feed with pause
Press GO to print from Tray 1 or from another tray if Tray 1 is
empty.
zPaper out (requested tray)
Add paper to the requested tray to cause the printer to start the
print job from that tray. Press GO to print from another tray.
zContinuable error
Press GO to cause the printer to attempt to recover from the error
and print whatever data it can. If the attempt to recover from the
error is successful, the Ready light will blink while the printer
completes the job. If the printer cannot recover, it will display the
Attention with the Ability to Continue message.
Press and hold GO and JOB CANCEL simultaneously to display a
secondary light pattern that will indicate the error code corresponding
to the current error condition. Release both buttons to display the
Attention with the Ability to Continue message. See Continuable
Attention Errors.
Pressing JOB CANCEL will cancel the print job and the printer will
return to the ready state (Ready light on) if the cause of the error has
been fixed.
Note The printer can be configured to automatically recover from an error
using the Input Auto Continue settings in the HP LaserJet Device
Configuration.
Service Error
All lights are on. An error has occurred that has caused the printer to
halt the current print job. Pressing GO or JOB CANCEL with this
message has no effect.
To clear the error, turn the printer off and then on again. If the problem
persists, leave the printer off for 15 minutes to reset the formatter. If
the problem continues, contact HP Service. See HP Customer Care
(Service and Support).
