What are the main differences between the HP LaserJet Professional P1560 and P1600 printer series?

The P1560 series prints at 22 A4 ppm or 23 letter-size ppm and supports manual duplexing only, while the P1600 series prints faster at 25 A4 ppm or 26 letter-size ppm and supports automatic duplexing. The P1600 also includes on-board networking capability in addition to USB connectivity, whereas the P1560 only has USB. Both models have the same tray and output bin capacities (10-sheet priority slot, 250-sheet main tray, and 125-sheet output bin).

2

How do I install the printer driver using HP Smart Install?

Turn the product on, connect the USB cable, and the HP Smart Install program should start automatically—follow the onscreen instructions to install the software. If the program does not start automatically, AutoPlay might be disabled; in that case, browse the computer and double-click the HP Smart Install drive to run the program. Do not insert the software installation CD during a Smart Install.

3

What Windows operating systems are supported by this printer?

The printer supports Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit).

4

What paper sizes and types does this printer support?

The printer supports standard sizes including Letter, Legal, A4, Executive, A5, A6, B5, and custom sizes from 76 x 127 mm to 216 x 356 mm. Paper types include plain, recycled, vellum, letterhead, labels, envelopes, transparencies, and cardstock. The main-input tray holds up to 250 sheets of 75 g/m² (20 lb) bond paper or fewer sheets of heavier media, while the priority input slot holds up to 10 sheets.

5

How do I set up the printer on a wired network?

Connect a CAT-5 Ethernet cable to an available port on your Ethernet hub or router and to the Ethernet port on the back of the printer. Verify that a network light is illuminated on the network port. Then use either HP Smart Install or the installation CD to configure the product for network printing. You can use the embedded Web server by typing the printer's IP address (found on the configuration page) into a web browser.

6

What should I do if paper jams occur repeatedly?

You can change the jam recovery setting on the product to help prevent repeated jams. The manual also recommends checking for common causes of jams and reviewing jam locations. If you continue to experience issues after changing settings, refer to the specific jam-clearing procedures for different areas (input trays, duplexer, output areas, or inside the product) described in the troubleshooting section.

    Understand paper and print media use This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased jams, and premature wear on the product. For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do not use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality. It is possible for paper 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/or humidity levels, or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.

    Caution:

    Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements. 32 Chapter 5 Paper and print media

Labels ● Use only labels that have no exposed backing between them. ● Use labels that lie flat. ● Use only full sheets of labels. ● Do not use labels that have wrinkles or bubbles, or are damaged. ● Do not print partial sheets of labels. Transparencies ● Use only transparencies that are approved for use in laser printers. ● Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the product. ● Do not use transparent print media not approved for laser printers. Letterhead or preprinted forms ● Use only letterhead or forms approved for use in laser printers. ● Do not use raised or metallic letterhead. Heavy paper ● Use only heavy paper that is approved for use in laser printers and meets the weight specifications for this product. ● Do not use paper that is heavier than the recommended media specification for this product unless it is HP paper that has been approved for use in this product.

    Load paper trays

    Caution:

    If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might occur. See Clear jams on page 85 for more information. Priority input slot The priority input slot holds up to ten sheets of media or one envelope, one transparency, or one sheet of labels or cardstock. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side media guides before feeding the media. Main-input tray The main-input tray holds 250 pages of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper, or fewer pages of heavier media (a 25 mm (0.9 in) stack height or less). Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side and front media guides.

    Note:

    When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the entire stack. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the product at one time, reducing media jams. Paper orientation for loading trays Only use media that is recommended for laser printers. See Supported paper sizes on page 35. If you are using paper that requires a specific orientation, load it according to the information in the following table.

    Economy settings EconoMode This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less toner and decrease the cost per page. However, using EconoMode can also reduce print quality. HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge. Enable or disable EconoMode in any of these ways: ● In the Windows Printer Properties, open the Paper/Quality tab, and select the EconoMode option. ● In the embedded Web server (HP LaserJet Professional P1600 printer series only), open the Settings tab and select the PCL Settings option. Use the Settings drop-down list to select On or Off.

    Note:

    Disabling EconoMode by using the embedded Web server only effects print jobs that use the PCL 5 universal Printer Driver (available for download from the Web). To deselect EconoMode for print jobs that use the printer driver that comes on the product CD, you must deselect EconoMode in the printer driver. ● In the HP Printer Utility for Macintosh, click Print Settings, and then click Economode & Toner Density.

    Solve paper-handling problems The following problems with media cause print-quality deviations, jams, or damage to the product. Problem Cause Solution Poor print quality or toner adhesion The paper is too moist, too rough, too heavy, too smooth, or it is embossed or from a faulty paper lot. Try another kind of paper, between 100 and 250 Sheffield, with 4% to 6% moisture content. Dropouts, jamming, or curl The paper has been stored incorrectly. Store paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping. The paper has variability from one side to the other. Turn the paper over. Excessive curl The paper is too moist, has the wrong grain direction, or is of short-grain construction Use long-grain paper. The paper varies from side to side. Turn the paper over. Jamming, damage to product The paper has cutouts or perforations. Use paper that is free of cutouts or perforations. Problems with feeding The paper has ragged edges. Use high-quality paper that is made for laser printers. The paper varies from side to side. Turn the paper over. The paper is too moist, too rough, too heavy or too smooth, has the wrong grain direction, or is of short-grain construction or it is embossed or from a faulty paper lot. Try another kind of paper, between 100 and 250 Sheffield, 4% to 6% moisture content. Use long-grain paper. Print is skewed (crooked). The media guides might be incorrectly adjusted. Remove all media from the tray, straighten the stack, and then load the media in the tray again. Adjust the media guides to the width and length of the media that you are using and try printing again. More than one sheet feeds at one time. The tray might be overloaded. Remove some of the media from the tray. The media might be wrinkled, folded, or damaged. Verify that the media is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. Try printing on media from a new or different package. The product does not pull media from the tray. The product might be in manual-feed mode. Verify that the product is not in manual feed mode, and then print the job again. The pickup roller might be dirty or damaged. Contact HP Customer Care. See Service and support on page 113 or the support flyer that came in the box. The paper-length adjustment control in the main-input tray is set at a length that is greater than the media size. Set the paper-length adjustment control to the correct length.

    Customer self-repair warranty service HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period, HP identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts: 1) Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service. 2) Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for Customer Self Repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, this may be done at no additional charge under the type of warranty service designated for your product. Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery. Same-day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help you over the phone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.
