Printer input trays
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 |

|
printing from the main input tray. |
|
|
See Media for more information about media types. |
|
|
16 Chapter 1 Getting to know the printer |
EN |
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.
|
EN |
Identifying the printer’s components 17 |
Printer output paths
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.
Pull out for long media.
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. |
|
|
18 Chapter 1 Getting to know the printer |
EN |

Identifying the printer’s components 19 |
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 Guidelines for Paper and Other Print Media (HP part number |
|
|
5963-7863). See Printer media specifications for more information. |
|
|
20 Chapter 1 Getting to know the printer |
EN |
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.
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.
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 transparencies and labels for more information.
●Envelopes: Load envelopes with the narrow, stamp side forward and the side to be printed facing up. See Printing envelopes for more information.
●Letterhead or preprinted forms: Load with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. See Printing letterhead or preprinted forms for more information.
●Cards and custom-sized media: Load with the narrow side forward and the side to be printed facing up. See Printing custom-sized media or cardstock for more information.
|
EN |
Loading media into the input trays 21 |
Turning the power off
If the printer requires 110-127 volts of power, you must unplug the printer to turn the power off. If the printer requires 220-240 volts, you can switch the printer off (the switch is located on the left side of the power plug) or unplug it.
WARNING! To ensure safety when working inside the printer for any reason, unplug the printer.
Understanding voltage conversions
Because of the different specifications, Hewlett-Packard does not offer a voltage conversion or support the voltage conversion of the U.S. version of the HP LaserJet family of printers for foreign use. If you plan on using the equipment outside of the United States, Hewlett-Packard advises you to purchase the products in the country/region where you will use them.
CAUTION Check your printer’s voltage requirement before you plug it in. Printers that require 110-127 volts of power will not work with 220-240 voltage outlets.

Understanding the print server’s features and benefits
If you purchased an HP JetDirect 175X with your
HP LaserJet 1200 printer, you can perform the following tasks:
●Enhance workgroup productivity by placing your printer at a convenient location on the network while improving network printer performance.
●Connect your printer directly to the network.
●Share scan and print functions with others on the network.
|
Note |
You can only attach one printer to the print server. Do not use a USB |
|
hub to attach more than one printer. |
|
Using network protocols
|
The HP JetDirect 175X supports the following protocols: |
|
|
● TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) |
|
|
● IPX/SPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) |
|
|
● AppleTalk |
|
|
Note |
IPX/SPX is not supported on Novell networks. You must configure the |
|
HP JetDirect print server for a direct peer-to-peer connection from the |
|
|
computer to the device rather than through a Novell server. This is |
|
|
sometimes called IPX direct mode. |
|
|
If you are setting up client-server printing on a Microsoft |
|
|
Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 network, you can use the |
|
|
installation software to configure your Windows 95, 98, NT, |
|
|
or 2000 print server and then share the printer with client |
|
|
computers. |
|
|
If you are setting up peer-to-peer printing on a Microsoft |
|
|
Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 network, you can use the |
|
|
installation software to configure each client to print directly to |
|
|
the printer. |

Installing and configuring the network software
The installation program on the printer CD-ROM provides the easiest and fastest way to set up your print server, along with your printer.
The CD-ROM contains software, documentation, and registration for your print server as well as your printer. Using this information, you can perform the following tasks:
●Quickly install the print server software
●View documentation for your print server
●Register your print server via the Internet
For additional options, see the appropriate sections in this chapter.
Install the software on a network |
|
|
The installation program on the CD-ROM guides you through the |
|
|
basic configuration of your print server, along with your printer. |
|
|
Note |
If you purchased a print server separately, make sure that you install |
|
the print server using the software found on the CD-ROM that came |
|
|
with your printer. Do not use the HP JetDirect CD-ROM that came with |
|
|
your print server. If you have already installed the printer using the |
|
|
“Direct Connect” option, you must uninstall the printer software and run |
|
|
the printer software again, using the “Connected to the network” option, |
|
|
to ensure that all print, copy, and scan features function properly. |
|
Note
Install the printer and server
1Quit all open applications.
2Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. When the welcome screen displays, follow the directions on the screen. When asked how the printer will be connected, select
Connected to the network, and click Next.
If the welcome screen does not display, click Start, and Run. Type x:setup (where x is the letter of your CD-ROM drive), and click OK. If it does not display in Macintosh, double-click the CD icon in the desktop, then double-click HP All-In-One Installer.

Installing and configuring the network software 47 |
3When the installation is nearly complete, a setup screen appears that asks if you want to print a test page. Click Yes.
|
Note |
If you purchased a print server separately, make sure that you install |
|
the print server software found on the CD-ROM that came with your |
|
|
printer. Reinstall the printer software to ensure that all print, copy, and |
|
|
scan features function properly. |
|
|
If your network uses the TCP/IP protocol, you can use additional |
|
|
tools to customize the print server’s configuration for your |
|
|
network environment. |
Using the embedded web server
Each HP JetDirect 175X print server contains an embedded web server that you can access through a compatible web browser on an intranet. The embedded web server provides access to configuration and management pages for the print server and the attached printer. The networking pages provide access to status and configuration information on the HP JetDirect 175X print server.
You can use the embedded web server to perform the following tasks:
●Monitor the status of the printer and the print server
●Make optional configuration changes for the print server to customize it for your network
●Link to HP’s Web site
●Scan images over the network without HP LaserJet 1220 software
Prerequisites
Computers with the TCP/IP protocol installed can use the embedded web server to monitor and configure the printers networked with an HP JetDirect print server. Use the installation program on the printer CD-ROM to set this up.
Before you can use the embedded web server, you must configure an IP address for the HP JetDirect print server. Use the installation program on the printer CD-ROM to configure the IP address.
