HP warrants to you, the end-user customer, that HP hardware and accessories will be free from defects in materials and workmanship after the date of purchase, for the period specified above. If HP receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP will, at its option, either repair or replace products which prove to be defective. Replacement products may be either new or equivalent in performance to new. HP warrants to you that HP software will not fail to execute its programming instructions after the date of purchase, for the period specified above, due to defects in material and workmanship when properly installed and used. If HP receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP will replace software which does not execute its programming instructions due to such defects. HP does not warrant that the operation of HP products will be uninterrupted or error free. If HP is unable, within a reasonable time, to repair or replace any product to a condition as warranted, you will be entitled to a refund of the purchase price upon prompt return of the product. HP products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or may have been subject to incidental use. Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from (a) improper or inadequate maintenance or calibration, (b) software, interfacing, parts or supplies not supplied by HP, (c) unauthorized modification or misuse, (d) operation outside of the published environmental specifications for the product, or (e) improper site preparation or maintenance. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AND HP SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some countries/regions, states or provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation or exclusion might not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you might also have other rights that vary from country/region to country/region, state to state, or province to province. HP's limited warranty is valid in any country/region or locality where HP has a support presence for this product and where HP has marketed this product. The level of warranty service you receive may vary according to local standards. HP will not alter form, fit, or function of the product to make it operate in a country/region for which it was never intended to function for legal or regulatory reasons. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE REMEDIES IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. EXCEPT AS INDICATED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL HP OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFIT OR DATA), OR OTHER DAMAGE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. Some countries/regions, states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. THE WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT OR MODIFY AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THIS PRODUCT TO YOU.

Extended warranty
In most countries/regions, HP Care Pack provides additional coverage, beyond standard warranty for the HP device and for all HP-supplied internal components. This hardware maintenance can uplift the standard warranty, for example, from next-day to same-day service, and/or extend it up to 5 years. The HP Care Pack can provide Express Exchange or onsite service. For more information, see the support flyer that came with your device for the appropriate phone numbers and information.

Print cartridge information
The print cartridge is designed to simplify replacement of the major consumable parts. The print cartridge contains the printing mechanism and a supply of toner. At 5 percent page coverage, a standard print cartridge will print approximately 2,000 pages. However, a cartridge should print more pages if it regularly prints pages with less coverage, such as short memos. The cartridge might print fewer pages if heavy or bold print is used. For best results, always use a print cartridge before the expiration date stamped on the cartridge box.

Refilled print cartridges
While Hewlett-Packard does not prohibit the use of refilled print cartridges during the warranty period or while the product is under a maintenance contract, it is not recommended for the following reasons: Repairs resulting from the use of refilled cartridges are not covered under HewlettPackard warranty or maintenance contracts. Hewlett-Packard has no control or process to ensure that a refilled cartridge functions at the high level of reliability of a new HP LaserJet toner cartridge. Hewlett-Packard also cannot predict the long-term reliability effect on the product from using different toner formulations found in refilled cartridges. The print quality of HP LaserJet print cartridges influences the customer's perception of the product. Hewlett-Packard has no control over the actual print quality of a refilled cartridge. Parts that are critical to print quality may not be replaced when the cartridge is refilled with toner.





Recycling print cartridges
In order to reduce waste, Hewlett-Packard offers a recycling program. Cartridge components that do not wear out are recycled. Plastics and other materials are recycled. Hewlett-Packard pays the shipping costs from the user to the recycling plant (within the United States). To join this recycling effort, follow the instructions inside the print cartridge box. Refer to http://www.hp.com/recycle for more information.

Guidelines for using media
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality documents. You can print on a variety of media, such as paper (including up to 100 percent recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-sized media.

Paper and Transparencies
Paper must be of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, holes, and curled or bent edges. Check the label on the paper package for details about the type of paper (such as bond or recycled). Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer. Note Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography, raised letterhead, or colored paper or preprinted forms that use inks incompatible with the printer temperature [200° C (392° F) for 0.1 second]. Transparencies must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer's maximum temperature.

Common media problems table
Symptom Poor print quality or toner adhesion, or problems with feeding. Dropouts, jamming, or curl. Increased gray background shading. Excessive curl, or problems with feeding. Jamming, or damage to printer. Problems with feeding. Problem with paper Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed. Faulty paper lot. Stored improperly. Might be too heavy. Too moist, wrong grain direction, or short-grain construction. Cutouts or perforations. Ragged edges. Solution Try another kind of paper between 100 and 250 Sheffield and 4 to 6 percent moisture content. Store paper flat in its moistureproof wrapping. Use lighter paper. Use long-grain paper. Print using the straight-through output path. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Use good quality paper.

Labels
When selecting labels, consider the following factors: 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.

ENWW

Guidelines for using media

19



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. Never use a sheet of labels that has already been run through the printer.

Envelopes
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 on the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 lb), 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).

Store envelopes flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

Envelopes with double-side seams
An envelope with double-side-seam construction (vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams) is more likely to wrinkle. Make sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in top figure of the following illustration:

Should print well.

May jam or wrinkle.

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.

Card stock and heavy media
For optimum performance, do not use paper heavier than 157 g/m 2 (42-lb). Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.

20

Chapter 2 Installation and Operation

ENWW

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 to 180 Sheffield.

Card stock construction
Smoothness: 135-157 g/m 2 (36-to 42-lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100 to 180 Sheffield. 60-135 g/m 2 (16- to 36-lb) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100 to 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 in)



Card stock guidelines
Set margins at least 2 mm (0.08 in) away from the edges.

ENWW

Guidelines for using media

21

Loading media
Loading media in the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers is simple and straightforward.

Loading media to print
This section describes loading bulk media to print.

Main input tray
The main input tray holds up to 150 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper or a 25 mm (0.98 in) stack of heavier media. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skew, always adjust the side media guides.

Priority input tray
The priority input tray can be used to feed one page at a time of a recommended media for manual feeding and special operations. It can hold up to ten pages of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper, but is best used for feeding one page at a time of paper, heavier paper, envelope, transparency, or card stock. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skew, 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 the User Guide located on the product CD 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 paper 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 the User Guide located on the product CD for more information. Envelopes: Load envelopes with the narrow, stamp side forward and the side to be printed facing up. See the User Guide located on the product CD for more information. Letterhead or preprinted forms: Load with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. See the User Guide for more information. Cards and custom-sized media: Load with the narrow side forward and the side to be printed facing up. See the User Guide located on the product CD for more information.
