Part number Q3948-90947 Edition 1, 12/2004 FCC Requirements (United States) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase separation between equipment and receiver. Connect equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is located. Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician. Any changes or modifications to the printer that are not expressly approved by HP could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Use of a shielded interface cable is required to comply with the Class B limits of Part 15 of FCC rules. This equipment complies with FCC rules, Part 68. On the back of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area. This equipment uses the following USOC jacks: RJ11C. An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service. If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please see the numbers in the front of this manual for repair and (or) warranty information. If the trouble is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved. The following repairs can be done by the customer: Replace any original equipment that came with the device. This includes the print cartridge, the supports for trays and bins, the power cord, and the telephone cord. It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to avoid damage to the equipment caused by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges. Trademark Credits Adobe Photoshop® and PostScript are trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated.

NOTE Set up the device and use it on the network Using the embedded Web server or HP Toolbox Set my network password Using the printer control panel Supported network protocols TCP/IP configuration Using BOOTP Using DHCP Configuring for LPD printing TCP/IP Troubleshooting Configuring TCP/IP settings are complicated and should only be performed by experienced network administrators. BOOTP will require a (PC, Unix, Linux, and so on.) server to configure specific TCP/IP settings for the product. DHCP will also require a server, but the TCP/IP settings will not be fixed for the device. Finally, the manual method to configure specific TCP/IP settings can be done from the control panel or the embedded Web server. For additional help or network configuration, contact your network provider. ENWW 1 Set up the device and use it on the network Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use the HP software installer on the CD-ROMs that came with the device to set up printer drivers for the following network setups. To configure a network port-connected device configuration (direct mode or peer-to-peer printing) In this configuration, the device is connected directly to the network, and all computers on the network print directly to the device. NOTE This mode is the recommended network configuration for the device. 1. Connect the device directly to the network by inserting a network cable into the device network port. 2. At the device, use the control panel to print a Configuration page. 3. Insert the device CD-ROM into your computer. If you have already set up your device, click Install Software to start the software installer. If the software installer does not start, navigate to the hpsetup.exe file on the CD-ROM and double-click the file. 4. Click Install HP Color LaserJet Software. 5. On the Welcome screen, click Next. 6. On the Installer updates screen, click Yes to search for installer updates on the Web. 7. For Windows 2000/XP, on the Installation Options screen, choose the installation option. Hewlett-Packard recommends a typical installation, if your system supports it. 8.
