Installation checklist
When setting up the MFP for the first time, perform the following tasks to ensure that the MFP is
installed correctly.
Table 2-1 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. 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
http://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.
The fax should be connected to a single analog
telephone line that will be used for the fax only and not
shared with a telephone or other device.
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. During initial setup, follow the directions on the control
panel when prompted to set the language, date and time.
To change the language after initial setup, touch
Administration, Device Behavior, and Language. Then
select the desired language from a list.
To change the current date and time after initial setup,
touch Administration, Time/Scheduling, and Date/Time.
Prepare the MFP for digital sending by configuring the
e-mail gateways.
From the Home screen, touch Administration, Initial
Setup, E-mail Setup, Find Send Gateways, and OK. If
auto-discovery does not find the e-mail gateways,
obtain the addresses from your network administrator
and manually configure these on the MFP.
If a fax accessory is installed, configure it for sending
and receiving faxes.
Use the Fax Wizard to set up the fax for the first time.
To make changes later, use the following procedure:
From the Home screen, touch Administration, Initial
Setup, Fax Setup, and Required Settings. Provide the
