Ink handling and condensates
HP recommends that you wear gloves when handling ink system components and condensates.
Ventilation and air conditioning
As with all equipment installations, to maintain ambient comfort levels, air conditioning and ventilation in the work area
should take into account that the printer produces heat.
Air conditioning and ventilation should meet local environmental, health, and safety (EHS) guidelines and regulations.
For a more prescriptive approach to adequate ventilation, refer to the ANSI/ASHRAE (American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) 62.1-2013 Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. An example
minimum exhaust rate of 2.5 L/s.m² (0.5 cfm/ft²) of fresh air for “copy, printing rooms” is specied.
Note: The ventilation and air conditioning units should not blow air directly onto the printer.
Note: Maintaining positive air pressure in the print production room will help prevent dust from entering the room.
Printer software
The HP Internal Print Server is provided with your printer and is already installed in the printer’s built-in computer. It
displays printer alerts and a summary of printer status, manages print jobs, and must be used to interact with the printer
in various ways.
The HP Print Care program is provided with your printer and is already installed in the printer’s built-in computer. It
displays printer status and history in detail, and helps you to maintain the printer and solve any problems that may arise.
A Raster Image Processor (RIP) should be run on a separate computer; it cannot be installed on the printer’s built-in
computer. It is not provided with the printer and should be obtained separately.
Printer messages
Occasionally you may see messages such as the following in the Internal Print Server window. There are two types:
text messages, which are more informative, and messages containing numerical codes, which mean that the printer
has detected a problem or malfunction. When one of these messages appears, please follow any instructions provided
by the printer, and consult the table below. If you feel in doubt about the correct response, or if you have followed the
recommendation but the problem persists, call your service representative.
