You should set your printer Media Type to Thick1 or any of the other paper types that use  
Thick1 fuser mode for any paper that is from 106 gsm to 159 gsm. If your paper is 160 gsm to  
216 gsm, you should set your printer Media Type to Thick2 or Cardstock. If you do not get  
satisfactory results using Thick1 or Thick2 on some paper types with rough or uneven surfaces,  
it is possible you will get improved results using Thick3 on the DX-B450P because of the lower  
fuser temperature and slower paper speed in the printer.

Transparencies can be printed from all trays, but they can not be printed on two sides using the  
Duplex Module. Only use transparencies designed for laser printers so they can withstand the  
heat required for fusing. It is possible to damage your printer by using unsupported  
transparencies.  
Loading transparencies into the trays:  
1. Remove the tray from the printer.  
2. Remove all paper from a tray before loading transparencies.  
3. Fan the stack of new transparencies before putting them in the tray.  
4. Insert the transparencies into the tray.  
Place the transparencies in the input tray with the side to be printed facing up. Do not fully  
load a tray with transparencies. The printer supports loading 100 transparencies or less in  
a tray. Handle them by the edges with both hands and avoid getting fingerprints and  
creases on them.  
5. Adjust the paper guides to fit the transparencies.  
6. Insert the tray firmly into the printer.  
7. Using the Operator Panel or EWS, select the Transparency Media Type and correct Media  
Size for the tray to be used.

8. In the printer driver or the computer application program, select Transparency as the  
paper type you wish to use.  
Printing Envelopes  
Envelopes can be printed from all trays. There are 5 sizes of standard envelopes that can be  
used. They are COM10, COM9, C5, Monarch, and DL. All other envelope sizes must be  
specified as custom size. Only use envelopes designed for use in laser printers. The heat from  
the fuser can melt some adhesives and possible damage your printer.  
Caution: Never use padded envelopes or those with windows or metal clasps. These  
can damage your printer.  
Loading envelopes into the trays:  
1. Remove the tray from the printer.  
2. Insert the envelopes into the tray.  
3. Adjust the paper guides to fit the envelopes.  
All sizes of envelopes go in all trays with the printing side up, “flap-side down”, and the  
top of the envelopes toward the right side of the printer.  
Do not load more than 15 envelopes in Tray 1 or more than 80 in Trays 2 – 4.  
4. Insert the tray firmly into the printer.  
5. Using the Operator Panel or EWS, select the Envelope Media Type and correct Media  
Size for the tray to be used.  
6. In the printer driver or the computer application program, select Envelope as the paper  
type you wish to use, and select the size and orientation of the image to be printed.  
Printing Labels  
Labels can be printed from any tray. Use labels that were designed for use in laser printers. See  
section “Available Paper” on page 2-9 for recommendations.  
Insert the labels into the tray and adjust the guides to fit the sheets. Place the side to be printed  
facing up and the top of the sheets to be fed into the printer first. Do not load more than 100  
label sheets in Tray 1 or more than 290 in Tray 2 – 4, and do not fill any tray above the fill line  
marked inside the tray.  
Use the Operator Panel Paper>Media Size/Type Menu to select the Label Media Type and size  
for the tray in use. Then use your computer’s application software to print the labels. See  
section “Printing on Special Paper” on page 4-13 for further detail about using your computer  
to print labels.

default state, the printer will stop printing  
when it detects the toner is low. You can  
continue printing by pressing the START/  
STOP button. The printer will then continue  
printing indefinitely without operator  
intervention, even if it runs out of toner. The  
warning message remains displayed on the  
Operator Panel. If the printer is set to  
Continue after Toner Low, the printer will  
not stop and will continue to print even with  
no toner available.

the pamphlet parameters. It prints two pages per side and prints the pages in the order needed to  
accommodate a center fold. You can specify the binding edge (see “Finishing” on page 4-12) to  
specify the room left for binding your book.

paper type.  
Settings in the Operator Panel and in your Printer Properties are required to specify the special  
paper loaded in the specified tray. Paper type settings must match those of the actual paper  
loaded in the trays. Otherwise, image quality cannot be processed accurately. Toner may not  
fuse properly on the paper, resulting in dirty and poor quality printouts.  
To select the special paper types through your Printer Properties:  
1. Change media size at Operator Panel via the loaded tray’s Paper Menu’s Media size  
selection or using the EWS.  
2. Select the Paper Type from the pulldown in the Paper tab within your Printer Properties.

a tray other than the one indicated, then pressing the START/STOP key will allow the printer to  
resume printing if “Auto Tray Change” is enabled.  
When both Auto Resize and Media Check are ON, the paper size requested, via the driver, will  
not be enforced because Auto Resize overrides the paper size aspect of Media Check. If you  
want to enforce a specific paper size, then it is necessary to disable Auto Resize via the  
Operator Panel’s Paper Menu.  
To enable media check:  
1. Select the Paper tab within your Printer Properties.  
2. Check Media Check.  
3. Click OK.  
When Media Check is disabled:  
The printer will print from the default paper tray. The size or type of paper in the tray is not a  
factor in paper tray selection.

To skip blank pages:  
1. Select the Paper tab within your Printer Properties.

Chapter 6: Embedded Web Server  
This printer comes with an Embedded Web Server (EWS).  
The EWS resides in the printer and requires no installation.  
In this Chapter...  
The EWS contains access to printer features and presents  
them as HTML web pages. The changes made via the EWS  
change the printer settings in the same manner as the  
Operator Panel. To change settings for specific documents,  
use your Printer Properties options within the driver.  
NOTE:  
If there is a conflict between settings in the Operator  
Panel, Printing Preferences, or Embedded Web Server  
and printer settings set via your application, the  
application settings supersede any other setting.  
Accessing the EWS  
To access the embedded web server, you must be on an  
IP-based network and have access to a web browser.  
In your web browser, type the IP address assigned to the  
printer. For example http://192.0.0.1 for IPv4 or http://  
[2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7348] for

Chapter 7: Networking  
The DX-B350P/B450P is a fast network capable printer  
and supports an Ethernet 10/100 Base-Tx network  
connection.  
In this Chapter...  
Initial Setting of the  
Protocols  
Address  
The following protocols are supported:  
TCP/IPv4, UDP, BOOTP, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, DDNS, WINS, LPR  
HTTP for Embedded Web Server  
IPv6, ICMPv6, Address Auto Configuration and Neighbor Discovery  
for IPv6  
Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514), MIB II (RFC 1213), Printer  
MIBv2 (3805), SNMPv1/v2  
Email SMTP client for alerts, POP3 for receiving print data  
Apple EtherTalk, Bonjour  
Netware V5.5, V6.5  
IPX (SPX/NCP)  
LPD  
Initial Setting of the Printer’s IP Address  
All devices on the network must have an IP address. The  
printer comes configured from the factory to obtain an  
address automatically from your network’s DHCP server.  
If your network does not support DHCP or you want to set  
the printer to a specific IP address, you must set it  
manually.  
Setting the IP Address through DHCP  
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration  
Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically  
programs an IP address into every terminal and printer on  
the network that is configured to use DHCP. A DHCP  
server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a  
cable or DSL router, see your the device documentation for  
information on IP addressing.

Configuring the Driver  
Networking  
Setting the Network Configuration Manually  
You can make changes to the printer’s default network configuration using the Operator Panel.  
Once the settings for DHCP or IP address are changed, the printer automatically re-initializes.  
To manually set the printer’s IP address:  
1. Navigate through the menus to the Interface> Network 1 Setup sub menu.  
2. Navigate through the Network 1 Setup items to set all of the following items:  
IP Address  
Subnet mask  
Disable DHCP  
Setting the IP Address through the Embedded Web Server  
The IP Address can also be changed from a computer by using the Embedded Web Server. Prior  
to using the Embedded Web Server, the printer must have a obtained a valid IP address either  
through DHCP or manually entered through the Operator Panel.  
1. Connect your printer to the network by plugging in the network connector.  
2. Turn on your computer and allow it to power up.

Notifications  
Automatic notifications of printer unavailability during printing can be sent in the following  
ways:  
SNMP monitoring  
E-mail configured via the EWS  
Status Monitor Utility.  
IP Filtering  
The purpose of IP filtering is to limit access to the printer to only those Host computers that  
have IP addresses within IP ranges predefined on the configuration page. The IP configuration  
page, accessible from the EWS (when logged in as administrator), has enable and disable  
parameters. When IP filtering is disabled, all network traffic is allowed.  
When IP filtering is enabled and incoming data is from an address that falls within the  
predefined range, it is allowed to print, if the “Printing” or “Config” checkboxes are checked. If  
the incoming data does not fall into a predefined range, it is rejected.  
In cases where IP ranges overlap but have different permissions (for example, one to print only  
and another to print and configure), permissions for the overlapping addresses are determined  
by IP Filter priority. Higher priority overrides lower priority permissions. If an administrator IP  
address is entered, it takes highest priority over any configured IP range.  
NOTE:  
Leaving IP ranges disables IP Filtering. The address 0.0.0.0 is not allowed.

IPv6 Implementation  
Networking  
IPv6 Implementation  
Specifications  
The IPv6 implementation conforms to the following IETF documents:  
RFC 2460: Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification  
RFC 2461: Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6)  
RFC 2462/4862: IPv6 Stateless Address Auto Configuration  
RFC 1981: Path MTU Discovery for IP Version 6  
RFC 2463/4443: Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6)  
RFC 2710/3810: Multicast Listener  
Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2)  
Operational Information  
IPv6 enabled devices can auto configure their IPv6 address. This happens automatically  
whenever there is an IPv6 enabled router on the subnet to which the device is connected. The  
printer unique ID is obtained from the Ethernet MAC address. The router may advertise  
multiple network prefixes, depending on the network configuration. The Network summary  
page displays all the above addresses, if they exist. If only the Local Link address (starting with  
“xFE80...”) is displayed, that is an indication that the link is not connected to a router  
(gateway). No manual configuration of IPv6 addresses is supported, nor is there support for  
DHCPv6, and the printer does not register its IPv6 address with DNS.  
Upper Level Protocols such as UDP, TCP run with either IPv4 or IPv6. For instance, a print job  
can be sent to the printer over IPv4 or IPv6. Similarly the EWS or SNMP can be accessed over  
IPv4 or IPv6. IPv6 and IPv4 coexist independent of each other. They can be Enabled/Disabled  
in any combination. They are both enabled by default. In cases where a particular network is  
configured to run only one IP version, it makes sense to disable the other one (for better  
resource utilization).  
SNMP  
SNMP can be used to manage any network device. SNMP is a protocol that allows an SNMP  
manager (the controller) to control an SNMP agent (the controlee) by exchanging SNMP  
messages. The main purpose of an SNMP message is to control (set) or monitor (get) the  
parameters in a network device.  
In SNMP, a parameter is an instance of a more generic object. For example, an SNMP agent  
may have several instances of an object. An SNMP manager can set or get the value for each  
object instance (each parameter).

SNMP  
Networking  
In an SNMP agent, parameters are arranged in a tree. SNMP uses an Object Identifier (OID) to  
specify the exact parameter to set or get in the tree. An OID is a list of numbers separated by  
periods. An OID is a combination of two values. The first value is the OID of the generic object  
and the second is the instance value, which specifies the particular instance of the object.  
Every SNMP agent has an address book of all its objects, called the MIB or Management  
Information Base. The MIB provides the name, OID, data type, read/write permissions, and a  
brief description for each object in an SNMP agent. Armed with information about an object  
from the MIB, and the instance value, an SNMP manager can send an SNMP message to set or  
get one of the parameters on an SNMP agent.  
Supported Object Identifiers  
The printer can be managed via a standard SNMP management station. The printer supports  
SNMP-v1, SNMP-v2c, MIB-II, Host Resources MIB, and Printer MIB.  
Traps  
The printer sends generic traps at power up and online and offline traps. Traps are sent on all  
printer status changes such as: paper out, cover open, tray missing, and jams. The Trap Host ID  
must be set via the EWS for traps to be enabled.  
Hewlett Packard Web Jet Administrative Compatibility  
This product operates with HP WebJet Admin in a basic mode where WJA provides generic  
support for any printer that has Printer MIB implemented. There is no special recognition of  
this printer by WJA other than that supported by Printer MIB.  
SNMP Alerts  
Support for SNMP alerts is based on Printer MIB (RFC 1759) requirements. All outstanding  
alerts are logged into the Printer MIB alert table. Whenever critical alert is entered into the table  
trap is generated to the Host application. Traps are sent only if Trap Host IP address is defined.  
It can be set through the EWS under the SNMP setup menu.

Chapter 10: Clearing Paper Jams  
When there is a paper jam, refer to the following  
procedures and follow the instructions.  
In this Chapter...  
CAUTION: Never touch areas labeled as “High  
Voltage.” Never touch a labeled area found on or  
near the heat roller. If a sheet of paper is wrapped  
around the heat roller, do not try to remove it by  
yourself to avoid injuries or burns. Switch off the  
machine immediately, and contact your service  
provider.  
NOTE:  
Paper jams could be due to the printer installation  
environment and type of paper used.  
The diagram below shows the printer with the two optional  
tray modules, duplex module, and Offset Catch Tray  
installed.  
NOTE:  
If the jammed paper is removed without opening the  
top cover, you still need to open and close the top  
cover. Doing this will remove the error message.

Status Monitor Utility  
Windows Utilities  
Status Monitor Utility  
The printer Status Monitor utility runs on the Windows XP, Win2K, or Vista system to which  
the printer is connected via a Parallel, USB, or network port. This utility communicates  
bi-directionally with the printer to obtain status information about error conditions and status.  
These conditions are reported using “pop-ups” on the screen.  
PCL5 Tray Mapping Utility  
This utility allows you to reassign the PCL5 tray ID selection sequences so an existing  
application can be used to select the desired paper trays. The Tray Mapping Utility changes the  
PCL5 tray IDs to custom values. This is useful to programs that generate printer data directly  
without going through the Windows Printer Driver. Older MS-DOS programs are typically the  
programs that require tray ID remapping. Once the tray IDs are changed, the new mapping  
affects all users of the printer.
