Installation checklist
When setting up the MFP for the first time, perform the following tasks to ensure that the MFP is
installed correctly.
Table 3-1 Installation checklist
Task Details
Connect the MFP to an adequate power source. The MFP requires a minimum of 15 amps for 110-volt
models or 8 amps for 220-volt models. Do not connect
the MFP to a power strip or to an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS). Attaching other devices to the same
power source can cause intermittent problems.
Install the MFP in a location that has enough space. Make sure that all sides of the MFP are easily
accessible. For space requirements, see
Site
requirements. If the space around the MFP is too tight,
clearing jams and servicing the MFP are more difficult.
Place the MFP on a sturdy, level surface. Place the MFP on a hard surface so it does not shift
when opening and closing the MFP components. If the
MFP is on a cabinet/stand, make sure that the feet are
level and stable.
Install media in tray 2 and install the print cartridge. Use media that meets HP specifications. See the HP
LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide, which is
available for download in .PDF format at www.hp.com/
support/ljpaperguide.
Be sure to remove the sealing tape from the print
cartridge. It is possible to insert the print cartridge
without removing the sealing tape, but an error
message appears on the control-panel display.
Connect the network cable to the HP Jetdirect port on
the left side of the MFP. Also connect the fax line if an
HP LaserJet analog fax accessory 300 is installed.
See Connecting to a computer or network.
Move the scanner shipping lock to the unlocked position. Raise the ADF. The scanner shipping lock is to the left
of the scanner glass. Move the switch toward the front
of the MFP to unlock it.
Set the correct language, date, and time. The first time you turn on the MFP, it prompts you to set
the language, date, and time.
If the MFP does not prompt you to set the language,
use this procedure to change the language, if necessary.
1 Turn the MFP off and then on.
2 When the memory count appears on the control-
panel display, press and hold 6 until all three LEDs
flash once and then stay on. (This might take up to
20 seconds.
3 Release 6 and then press 6 again.
4 Wait while the MFP completes its initialization
sequence. When it is finished, the SELECT
LANGUAGE menu appears on the control-panel
display. Scroll to and touch the correct language.
