If you experience very slow progress while uploading the firmware file to the printer, the reason could
be that you are using a proxy server. In that case, try bypassing the proxy server and accessing the
Embedded Web Server directly.
●
In Internet Explorer 6 for Windows, go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN
Settings, and check the Bypass proxy server for local addresses box. Alternatively, for more
precise control, click the Advanced button and add the printer's IP address to the list of exceptions,
for which the proxy server is not used.
●
In Safari for Mac OS, go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and click the Proxies: Change
Settings button. Add the printer's IP address or its domain name to the list of exceptions, for which
the proxy server is not used.
The firmware includes a set of the most commonly used paper presets. Extra paper presets can be
downloaded separately; see
Paper presets on page 35.
Update the software
You are recommended to use HP Proactive Support (see HP Proactive Support on page 154) to keep
your printer driver and other printer software up to date. Alternatively, go to

drivers/.
Change the battery
When the front panel announces that the real-time clock is not working, you must change the battery.
You need a lithium battery, model CR2032. To replace the battery, follow these steps.
1. Turn the printer off and unplug the cable. Unplug any network or USB cables.
2. Loosen the screws that attach the formatter to the printer with your fingers, or with the help of a flat
screwdriver.
3. Locate the round, flat battery in the formatter.
4. Push the battery slightly to one side and then pull it up. A little force may be required.
5. Insert the new battery by pressing it down.
6. Insert the formatter into the printer by pressing it down, and tighten the screws.
7. Reconnect the cables and turn the printer on.
Printer maintenance kits
Three maintenance kits are available for your printer, containing components that may need to be
replaced after long use. When one of them is needed, a message is displayed on the front panel and
by the HP Printer Utility.
When you see the message, you should contact HP Support (see
Contact HP Support on page 154)
and request the maintenance kit. Two of the kits are installed by service engineers only; the third consists
of a replacement cutter, which you can install yourself (see
Replace the cutter on page 93).
Secure Disk Erase
The printer's hard disk is used as a temporary storage area for print jobs. The Secure Disk Erase facility
can completely erase your information from the hard disk to protect it from unauthorized access. You
can choose to erase particular files, or the whole hard disk.
