HP LaserJet 4100 Series Printers - Printer Control Panel Menus


Introduction
Most routine printing tasks can be accomplished from the computer through the HP LaserJet 4100 series printer driver or available software. This is the most convenient way to control the printer, and will override the printer control panel settings. See the help files associated with the software, or for more information on accessing the printer driver, see the Access the Windows Printer Driver section in the printer's User Guide .
Printer settings can also be adjusted through the printer’s control panel. Use the control panel to access printer features not supported by the printer driver or software.
Control panel menu map
Print a menu map from the control panel. For directions, see the Control Panel Menus section of the User Guide . The menu map lists configuration items and possible values for the printer.
Some menus or menu items appear only when certain items are installed in the printer. For example, the Quick Copy Jobs menu appears only if the printer contains a hard disk accessory.
Quick Copy Jobs menu
This menu provides a list of the quick copy jobs stored on the printer’s hard disk accessory. These jobs can then be printed or deleted from the control panel. See the Job Retention Features section in the User Guide for more information about using this menu.
NOTE: This menu appears only if a hard disk accessory is installed and quick copy jobs are stored on it.
Item Value Explanation
[JOBNAME ]   The name of the person who owns the quick copy job.
COPIES=1 1 to 999

For more information, see the User Guide section on Manually Feeding Paper from Tray 1 .
Item Values Explanation
DUPLEX=OFF OFF

ON
This item appears only when an optional duplexer is installed. Set the value to ON to print on both sides (duplex) or OFF to print on one side (simplex) of a sheet of paper.

For more information, see the User Guide section on Printing Both Sides of Paper (Optional Duplexer) .
BINDING=LONG EDGE LONG EDGE

SHORT EDGE
This item appears only when an optional duplexer is installed and the duplex option is on. Choose the binding edge when duplexing (printing on both sides of paper).

For more information, see the User Guide section on Layout Items for Printing Both Sides of Paper .
SMALL PAPER SPEED=NORMAL NORMAL

SLOW
Select SLOW when alternately printing envelopes (or small paper) and standard paper sizes and print problems appear.

Be sure to return the speed to NORMAL when finished.

When SLOW is selected, the printer briefly pauses between pages to reduce a repeating image defect (see the User Guide section on Repeating Image .

For more information, see the User Guide section on Printing Envelopes .
CONFIGURE FUSER MODE MENU=NO NO

YES
Configure the fuser mode associated with each paper type. (This is only necessary if loose toner problems occur in printing on certain types of paper.)

NO : The Fuser Mode menu items are not accessible.

YES : Additional items appear (see the next row).

NOTE: To see the default fuser mode for each paper type, select YES , scroll back to the Information menu, and print a menu map (see the Information Menu section above).
[TYPE ]=NORMAL NORMAL

LOW

HIGH 1

HIGH 2
This item appears only when CONFIGURE FUSER MODE MENU=YES . Most paper types are set to NORMAL fuser mode by default. The exceptions are as follows:
  • ROUGH=HIGH 1
  • TRANSPARENCY=LOW


NORMAL fuser mode provides a fuser temperature for optimum results on most typical papers.

LOW fuser mode provides a lower temperature, which can help reduce curl on light-weight paper. However, the toner might not adhere as well to the page.

HIGH 1 fuser mode provides a higher fuser temperature. HIGH1 should be used with rough-textured or heavy paper if excess toner adheres to the page.

HIGH 2 fuser mode uses the same higher temperature as HIGH 1, but it also slows printer throughput, which creates the best fusing for very rough paper. HIGH 2 is available only for A4, Letter, and Legal sizes.
