Getting to Know the  
Product  
Introduction  
The HP LaserJet 3200 product, a powerful business tool, gives you  
the capabilities of a full range of office equipment. With this product,  
you can:  
l
Fax – Use the product as a standalone fax machine to send and  
receive laser-quality faxes, as well as to perform advanced tasks  
such as forwarding faxes to another location. See “Faxing” on  
page 53 for more information.  
l
l
Print – Easily print documents at 1200 dots per inch (dpi) with a  
print speed of nine pages per minute. See “Printing” on page 103  
for more information.  
Copy – Make superior laser-quality copies. You can make up to  
99 copies of a 30-page original. You can also adjust the contrast,  
enlarge or reduce the copies, collate, and more. See “Copying”  
on page 119 for more information.  
l
Scan – Scan important color or black-and-white documents to  
create electronic files of them. Scan documents and save them  
on a website. Use the scanner to make a fax cover sheet, or scan  
documents for use with other software. You can also scan a  
document and attach it to an e-mail message (if you have a  
compatible e-mail program). See “Scanning” on page 131 for  
more information.  
l
Use Software – Use the software to store and organize  
documents so you can quickly find that invoice, receipt, or  
business card from weeks ago. See the software Help for more  
information about using the software.  
This multifunction product helps increase your productivity by  
allowing you to do more than one task at a time. For example, send  
an electronic fax while the product makes copies, or scan a document  
while printing. See “What you can do with the product” on page 14.

Selecting media to print  
Selecting items for faxing, copying, or scanning  
Selecting media to print  
If available in your area, HP recommends that you use HP LaserJet  
or HP Multipurpose paper (because it has been designed specifically  
for use with your product), use or paper that meets HP’s  
specifications. You can use paper with up to 100% recycled fiber  
content if it meets HP’s specifications. To order HP paper or the Print  
Media Guide for HP LaserJet printers, see “Ordering parts” on  
page 257.  
Highly textured stock, such as linen, might not print evenly. Very  
glossy papers might jam or repel toner. Multipart forms can wrinkle or  
get jammed in the product. And paper in poor condition, such as  
paper with tears, wrinkles, or bent edges, can jam.  
Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, ones that have self-stick  
adhesives, or those with clasps or windows. Also avoid envelopes  
with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn,  
or otherwise damaged.  
Use a sturdy envelope of approximately 16 to 27 pounds (7.25 to  
12.25 kg) weight. Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure

Selecting items for faxing, copying, or  
scanning  
The product can scan items of various sizes, from 2 by 3.5 inches (51  
by 89 mm) (the size of a business card) to 8.5 by 14 inches (215 by  
356 mm), and can fax and copy items ranging from 2 by 3.5 inches  
(51 by 89 mm) to 8.5 by 35 inches (215 by 889 mm).  
The product accepts bond paper, onionskin paper, newspaper pages,  
magazine pages, recycled paper, transparencies, and photographs  
and other items in carrier sheets. Coarse papers scan more easily  
than smooth items. Slick papers can go through the product, although  
they may be more difficult to feed through. For best results, feed slick  
sheets one at a time and have the special media lever set correctly.  
Perform the following actions to minimize the possibility of jams:  
l
l
l
Remove self-adhesive notes.  
Remove staples and paper clips.  
Straighten any curls or wrinkles in documents before putting them  
into the document feeder tray.  
l
Do not insert any document with glue, correction fluid, or wet ink  
on it.  
l
l
Do not insert gum-backed paper or labels.  
Place documents with tears, perforations, or punch holes in a  
carrier sheet, which you can buy or make. (See “To load special

Whether you want to fax, copy, or scan, the procedure for loading the  
document is the same. If your document is on a standard-weight  
paper (from 12 to 28 lb, or 46 to 105 g/m2), see “To load normal print  
media” on page 26. If your document is a transparency, is in a carrier  
sheet, or is not on standard-weight paper, see “To load special items”  
on page 27.  
To load normal print media  
1
Adjust the guides in the document feeder tray to fit the size of the  
item you are loading.  
2
Place up to 30 pages top first, face down, into the document  
feeder tray.  
26 Chapter 2 - Getting to Know the Product

To load special items  
When loading items to be faxed, copied, or scanned, you need to  
2
protect small, fragile, lightweight (less than 12 lb. or 46 g/m ), or  
irregularly sized items such as receipts, newspaper clippings,  
photographs, and old or worn documents.  
1
Do one of the following:  
• Place the item in a carrier sheet. You can buy a carrier sheet,  
or you can make one by taping a transparency and piece of  
paper together along one of the short sides. Insert the item to  
be faxed, copied, or scanned into the carrier, and insert the  
carrier into the document feeder tray, taped edge first.  
• Using clear tape, tape the leading and trailing edges of the  
item to a sheet of letter- or A4-size paper. If the item is not  
square or rectangular, tape all edges of the item to the paper.  
• If you have use of a standard size copier, copy the item first  
and then send the copy through the scanner.  
2
Adjust the guides in the document feeder tray to fit the size of the  
item you are loading.  
3
Locate the special media lever (see “Identifying hardware parts”  
on page 21) on the top edge of the control panel and move it to  
the right.  
CAUTION  
Do not move the lever after the product has begun sending the page.  
EN  
Loading print media 27  
         
4
Load only one sheet at a time, top first, face down, into the  
document feeder tray.  
Note  
If you are loading a business card, load it long edge first.  
5
Move the special media lever back to the left after special items  
have been fed. A stack of regular pages sent with the lever to the  
right can go through in multiples, and can cause jams.  
Loading media to be printed  
You can load media to be printed in paper input tray or in the single-  
sheet input slot. See the instructions in this section for more  
information.  
Loading the paper input tray  
You can load up to 125 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m2) media into the paper  
input tray, or you can feed one sheet at a time into the single-sheet  
input slot.  
Note  
Insert all media vertically (portrait orientation) into the paper input tray  
or single-sheet input slot. If you want to print horizontally (landscape  
orientation), make that selection through your software. The product  
cannot print on paper smaller than 3 by 5 inches (76.2 by 127 mm).  
The product prints, copies, and prints received faxes using media  
from the paper input tray (or the single-sheet input slot).  
To load the paper input tray  
1
Adjust the guides on the paper input tray to fit the size of media  
you are loading.  
28 Chapter 2 - Getting to Know the Product  
EN  
           
2
Insert up to 125 sheets of paper into the paper input tray. Be  
careful not to overfill the tray.  
Note  
Note  
When adding paper to an existing stack in the paper input tray, always  
remove the existing paper and realign it with the new paper before  
loading to reduce multiple feeds or jams.  
If you have loaded special media, make sure to choose the lower paper  
output path. See “To select the output path” on page 31.  
3
Readjust the guides to center the stack.  
Using the single-sheet input slot  
Using the single-sheet input slot, you can print one sheet of media at  
a time without using the paper input tray. The product takes media  
loaded in the single-sheet input slot before it takes media from the  
paper input tray.  
Note  
The single-sheet input slot is helpful when the first page of your job is  
different from the rest. For example, you might want the first page of  
your print job on letterhead, or you might want to print an envelope first.  
To print using the single-sheet input slot  
1
Adjust the guides on the single-sheet input slot to the  
approximate size of the sheet you are using.  
EN  
Loading print media 29  
   
2
Insert one sheet of media into the single-sheet input slot. If

forward.

Note  
If you have loaded special media, make sure to choose the lower paper  
output path. See “To select the output path” on page 31.  
30 Chapter 2 - Getting to Know the Product  
EN  
Selecting the output path  
Selecting the output path determines whether printed media come out  
of the paper output bin or out of the front paper output slot. Choose  
the front paper output slot if you are printing on special media, such  
as 28 lb (100 g/m2) or heavier weight paper, envelopes,  
transparencies, or labels. This prevents wrinkling and paper curl.  
To select the output path  
l
To use the paper output bin, make sure that the front paper path  
door is closed.  
- Or -  
l
To eliminate curl, use the straight-through paper path by opening  
the front paper path door. All printed media coming out of the  
front paper output slot will be in reverse order.  
Note  
To avoid jams, keep the area in front of the front paper path slot clear  
so that media can easily exit the slot, and make sure the front paper  
path door is completely open.

Faxing  
Introduction  
All users can fax to and from the product. The product operates just  
like a regular fax machine; you do not have to install the software or  
have the computer on for it to work. From the control panel, you can  
send and receive paper faxes and adjust all settings needed for  
faxing.  
Normally, received faxes are printed at the product. However, you  
can choose to have incoming faxes routed to your computer if it is  
directly connected to the product, or to another fax machine.  
This section provides an overview of faxing capabilities from the  
control panel, as well as information about fax default settings.  
Hint  
You can findoutwhat product settings arecurrently selected by printing  
a configuration report (see “Printing a configuration report” on  
page 48).

Sending faxes to one recipient  
This procedure details how to send a fax to one recipient.  
Hint  
If you want to improve the quality of a paper document before faxing  
it, scan the document first and straighten or clean the image. Then,  
send it as a fax from the software. See the software Help for more  
information.  
To send a fax  
1
Dial the fax number using one of the following methods:  
• Use the numeric keys.  
• If the fax number you are calling has been assigned to a one-  
touch key, press that key.  
• If the fax number you are calling has a speed-dial code, press  
SPEED DIAL, enter the speed-dial code using the numeric keys,  
and press ENTER/MENU.  
Note  
When dialing using the numeric keys, include any pauses or other  
needed numbers, such as an area code, an access code for numbers  
outside a PBX system (usually a 9 or 0), or a long-distance prefix. See  
“Using dialing characters” on page 78 for more information.

Load the document into the document feeder tray.  
Adjust any options, such as contrast or resolution.  
After the last page of the fax has exited the product, you can start  
sending another fax, copying, or scanning.  
Hints  
To fax to numbers you use regularly, you can assign a one-touch key  
or speed-dial code. See “About speed-dial codes, one-touch keys, and  
group-dial codes” on page 70 for instructions.  
If you have electronic phone books available, you can use them for  
selecting recipients. Electronic phone books are generated with third-  
party applications. See the software Help for more information.

Sending faxes to multiple recipients  
You can send a paper fax to several fax numbers at once. If you want  
to send a fax to a group of fax numbers you have assigned to a  
group-dial code, see “To send a fax using a group-dial code.” If you  
want to send to up to 20 numbers that do not have a group-dial code,  
see “To send a fax to an ad-hoc group.”  
In the rare instance that your document does not fit into memory, you  
will need to send the document to each fax number one at a time, or  
use the HP LaserJet Director.  
Note  
Hint  
The HP LaserJet Director is not supported for Microsoft Windows 95.  
If you want to improve the quality of a paper document before faxing  
it, scan the document first and straighten or clean the image. Then,

Sending a fax at a future time  
You can schedule a fax to be sent automatically at a future time to  
one or more people. When you complete this procedure, the product  
scans the document into memory and returns to the Ready state so  
you can do other tasks.  
Note  
If the product cannot transmit the fax at the scheduled time, it is  
indicated on the fax call report (if that option is turned on) or logged in  
the fax activity log. This can happen in the case of a no answer or if a  
busy results in the failure of redial attempts. (See “Setting when the  
fax call report prints” on page 45 or “Printing the fax activity log” on  
page 43 for more information.)  
Hint  
If you have set a fax to send at a future time but need to add something  
to it, you can send the additional information as another job. All faxes  
scheduled to go to the same fax number on the same date and time  
are delivered as individual faxes.  
If a power failure occurs, any pending faxes will need to be  
rescheduled.

Programming a one-touch key for alternate  
long distance

touch key to dial the service’s access number before a fax number.  
When you need to use this one-touch key, press it, enter the fax  
number, and then press FAX/SEND. Both the access number and the  
fax number are then dialed together.  
If the access number is used almost every time you dial a fax, it might  
be easier to program the access number as a dialing prefix (see  
“Inserting a dial prefix” on page 84). Use the procedure on this page if  
the access number has more than 10 numbers or if you only need to  
use the access number occasionally.  
Hint  
This procedure is more easily accomplished from the software.  
To program a one-touch key for alternate long  
distance

number, enter one or more three-second pauses by pressing  
REDIAL/PAUSE.

When you are finished entering the access number, press  
REDIAL/PAUSE. A pause at the end of the string tells the product  
not to dial this number until you dial the fax number.

the remaining speed-dial codes with group-dial codes. Group-dial  
codes using numbers 1-10 are also associated with the  
corresponding one-touch key on the control panel. Any individual can  
be added to a group.  
Each group member must have a programmed speed-dial code or  
one-touch key assigned to them before being added to the group-dial  
code. To print a list of which one-touch keys and speed-dial codes  
are programmed, see “Printing a one-touch, speed-dial, and group-  
dial report” on page 47.

Using Manual Dial  
Normally, the product dials after you press FAX/SEND. At times,  
however, you might want the product to dial each number as you  
press it. For example, if you are charging your fax call to a calling  
card, you’ll need to dial the fax number, wait for the acceptance tone  
of your telephone company, and then dial the calling card number.  
When dialing internationally, you might need to dial part of the  
number and then listen for dial tones before continuing to dial.  
To use Manual Dial

Place the document in the document feeder tray.  
Press FAX/SEND.  
Begin dialing. The fax number dials as you press each digit. This  
allows you to wait for pauses, dial tones, international access  
tones, or calling card acceptance tones before continuing to dial.  
Sending a fax by dialing from a telephone  
At times, you might want to dial a fax number from a telephone  
connected to the same line as the product. For example, if you are  
sending a fax to a person whose product is in Manual mode, you can  
call first to let that person know the fax is coming.

Inserting a pause or wait into a fax number  
You can insert pauses into a fax number you are dialing or  
programming to a one-touch key, speed-dial code, or group-dial  
code. Pauses are often needed when dialing internationally or  
connecting to an outside line.  
To insert a pause or wait  
Press REDIAL/PAUSE to enter a three-second pause in your dialing  
sequence. A comma appears on the control panel display, indicating  
that the pause will occur at that point in the dialing sequence.  
Using dialing characters  
When using the control panel to type your name in the header or type  
a name for a one-touch key, speed-dial code, or group-dial code, you  
press a numeric key repeatedly until the letter you need appears.  
Then, you press > to select that letter and move to the next space.

Using fax forwarding  
You can set your product to forward incoming faxes to another fax  
number. When the fax arrives at your product, it is stored in memory.  
Then, your product dials the fax number you have specified and  
sends the fax.  
If it cannot forward a fax after repeated attempts because of an error,  
such as the number being busy and redials failing, your product will  
print the fax. If it runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it will  
terminate the incoming fax and only forward the pages and partial  
pages already stored in memory.  
When using this feature, the product must be the one receiving  
faxes (not the computer) and the answer mode must be set to  
Automatic (see “Changing how the product answers incoming faxes”  
on page 90).

Changing answer ring patterns  
If you subscribe to ring pattern service with your telephone company,  
enable the product to detect ring patterns. If you do not have ring  
pattern service, and you change this setting, the product will not be  
able to receive faxes.  
What is ring pattern service?  
Ring pattern service, such as distinctive ring, is available from some  
local telephone companies. It allows you to have two or three phone  
numbers on one line. This costs less than paying for two or three  
separate lines. Each of the phone numbers has a different ring  
pattern. Ring patterns allow you to answer voice calls and allow the  
product to answer fax calls.  
How do I get the service?  
Call your local telephone company to check the availability and to  
subscribe. The service might not be available in all areas. Also, your  
telephone company might use a different name for this service.  
If ring pattern service is available and you choose to subscribe to it,  
keep in mind the following:  
l
Determine which ring pattern is used for phone calls and which is  
used for fax calls.  
l
Make sure the telephone company assigns the correct ring  
pattern to the fax number. In New Zealand, it should be a double-  
ring pattern with long pauses. The product ignores other ring  
patterns.  
l
Important! If you have an answering machine or computer  
voicemail on this line for the other phone number, make sure  
the product’s rings to answer is set to a lower number than the  
rings to answer on the answering machine or voicemail. In the  
case of ring pattern detection, the product must answer calls first  
in order to be able to receive fax calls.  
EN  
Advanced receive fax features and settings 91  
           
How will I know if it’s working?  
After product installation is complete, ask someone you know to send  
you a fax. Make sure you provide the correct fax number.  
To change answer ring patterns  
Note  
Do not change the All Rings default setting if you do not have ring  
pattern service from your telephone company. If you do not have ring  
pattern service, and you change this setting, the product might not be  
able to receive faxes.

during the transmission and the Error Correction setting is on, the  
product can request that a portion of the fax be resent.  
The factory default for this setting is On. Only change it to Off if you  
are having trouble sending or receiving a fax and want to accept the  
errors in the transmission. Turning the setting off might be useful  
when you are trying to send or receive a fax overseas or using a  
satellite telephone connection.

If you have a phone line receiving both fax and voice calls (a shared  
line) and an answering machine or computer voicemail on the line,  
you must turn off the answering machine or voicemail to receive faxes  
to the computer. If you do not, either the answering system answers  
all calls, or the PC fax program does. Because of this limitation, most  
users choose to receive faxes to the product.  
The Receive to PC setting can only be activated from the computer.  
If for any reason that computer is no longer available or accessible,  
you can use the procedure below to turn the Receive to PC setting  
off from the product control panel.

Printer drivers  
Printer drivers access the product’s features and allow the computer  
to communicate with the printer. This section discusses the printer  
drivers installed with the product software.  
Choosing a printer driver  
Choose a printer driver based on the way you use the product.  
l
l
l
Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the product’s  
features. Unless complete backward compatibility with previous  
PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6 driver is  
recommended.  
Use the PCL 5e driver if you need print results to look consistent  
with those from older HP LaserJet printers. Certain features are  
not available in this driver. (Do not use the PCL 5e driver  
provided with this printer with older printers.)  
Use the PostScript (PS) driver for compatibility with PS needs.  
Certain printer features are not available in this driver.  
Note  
If your printer has PS capabilities, the printer automatically switches  
between PS emulation and PCL printer languages depending on the  
driver you have selected.  
If you need help accessing your printer driver, see “Gaining access to  
the printer driver” on page 105.

Printing on special media  
The product is designed to print on a variety of media, including  
transparencies, envelopes, and custom-made paper. See “Selecting  
media to print” on page 23 for more information.  
It is recommended that you use HP media or media that meets HP’s  
specifications. See “Ordering parts” on page 257 to order HP’s  
special media or refer to the Print Media Guide for HP LaserJet  
printers.  
Note  
To avoid transparency curl, remove the transparency as it comes out  
of the product and set it on a flat surface to cool.  
EN  
Printer tasks 109  
     
To print on special media  
1
Open the front paper path door. This is important when printing  
media such as postcards, transparencies, labels, envelopes, and  
heavy paper (28- to 42-lb [100- to 157-g/m2] bond weight).

pressing STOP/CLEAR on the control panel.  
CAUTION  
Pressing STOP/CLEAR clears the job currently being processed by the  
product.  
Saving toner when printing drafts  
EconoMode (Save Toner) allows the printer to use less toner on each  
page. Selecting this option might extend the life of your toner  
cartridge and reduce your cost per page but will reduce print quality,  
so be sure to use it for drafts. You can select the EconoMode option  
from the printer driver. See “Gaining access to the printer driver” on  
page 105.

Printer tasks 111  
       
Printing on both sides of paper  
Note  
When using a Windows-compatible computer or a Macintosh-  
compatible computer, this option is not available with the PostScript  
printer driver that is provided with the product.  
To print on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing), you must run  
the paper through the printer twice. You can print using the paper  
output bin or the straight-through output path. HP recommends using  
the paper output bin for light-weight paper. Use the straight-through  
output path for any heavy media or media that tends to curl when  
printed, such as envelopes and card stock.  
Note  
Manual duplexing can cause the printer to become dirty more quickly  
and reduce print quality. See “Cleaning the printer” if the printer  
becomes dirty.  
The four print orientation options are shown below. These options are  
available when Print on Both Sides (Manually) is selected from the  
printer driver.

sheet of paper. If you choose to print more than one page per sheet,  
the pages will appear decreased in size and arranged to fit on the  
sheet. You can specify up to 16 pages per printed sheet.  
Creating and using watermarks  
The Watermark option allows you to specify that text be placed in the  
background of an existing document. For example, you might want to  
have large gray letters reading “draft” or “confidential” placed  
diagonally across the first page or all pages of a document. See the  
example below.

Do not print on media smaller than 3 inches (76.2 mm) wide or 5  
inches (127 mm) tall.  
l
l
Set margins of at least 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) in your software.  
Always insert media vertically (portrait orientation) into the  
product. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this  
selection through your software.  
Tips for printing envelopes  
l
Low operating humidity (less than 50 percent relative humidity)  
often results in a background gray cast. (This is often most  
noticeable during the winter months.) For best results, print  
envelopes in an environment with humidity of 50 percent or more.  
Also, try to store envelopes in that same condition for at least 24  
hours before printing. (Note that background gray cast is  
sometimes also evident just after installing a new toner cartridge.)  
l
l
l
If possible, verify that envelope adhesive can withstand  
temperatures up to 392° F (200° C). This is the temperature of  
the fusing assembly during printing.  
If envelopes are coming out wrinkled, try flattening the edges of  
the envelope with a ruler or other flat object before feeding it  
through the product. Or, try using a different brand of envelope.  
Keep the printer clean. Contaminants such as loose toner and  
paper dust can interfere with the printing process.

Making black and white copies  
Use this procedure to make copies from the product. You can make  
up to 99 copies of a document that has as many as 30 pages  
(depending on the thickness of the pages). If pages of the document  
are longer than what is selected as the default paper size for the  
paper input tray, the copies will print on multiple sheets of paper. See  
“Changing the default paper size for the paper input tray” on page 38.  
If you are copying small, fragile, lightweight (less than 12 lb. or 46 g/  
2
m ), or irregularly sized items such as receipts, newspaper clippings,  
loading special items. See “To load special items” on page 27.  
Note  
The factory default for collation is On. With the collation on, multiple  
copies print in sets. For example, if you are making two copies of a  
three-page document, the copies print in this order: 1,2,3,1,2,3. See  
“Changing the default copy collation” on page 128 for more information  
and instructions on changing this setting.  
You can change the default number of copies to any value from 1 to  
99. See “Changing the default number of copies” on page 129.  
In the rare instance that the document does not fit into memory when  
making multiple copies, only one copy will print and the control panel  
will notify you of the problem. To resolve the problem, try the following  
alternatives:

About OCR software  
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that recognizes  
letters in a scanned image and converts them into ASCII characters,  
or editable text. OCR programs convert some text more accurately  
than other text. Because OCR technology is never perfect, proofread  
all converted text carefully to ensure the characters have been  
correctly interpreted.  
These types of text convert most accurately:  
l
l
l
l
text in standard fonts  
text in 9-point font or larger  
crisp, clear text  
black text on a white background  
These types of text might convert less accurately:  
l
l
l
text close to non-text elements, such as bullets, lines, or graphics  
text in spreadsheets, tables, or forms  
letters that have gaps, that “bleed” along their edges, or that  
touch other letters  
l
l
underlined text  
text on colored paper  
Note  
Handwriting cannot be converted.  
If you have problems with your OCR software, see "Problem Solving  
and Product Maintenance," or the OCR software Help for more  
information.

Clearing feed jams in the paper input areas  
If most of the jammed media is visible from the paper input tray or  
single-sheet-input slot, carefully pull the jammed media straight up  
and out of the product using both hands. Realign the media, and  
reload it.  
Note  
Be sure to center media between the paper guides. Also, verify that  
the paper guides are adjusted snugly, but that they do not crinkle or  
bend the media.  
The product, in most cases, reprints the jammed page and finishes  
the remainder of the job. Once your job has finished printing, check it  
to make sure all pages printed.  
To clear a jam from the interior area  
1
If the jam is not visible in the input area, use the two printer door  
release latches to pull open the printer door (the front paper path  
door opens automatically whenever the print door is opened).

2
Remove the toner cartridge. Be sure to protect it from light while it  
is outside the product.  
CAUTION  
Avoid touching the long, black, sponge roller inside the product.  
Touching it can degrade output quality.  
3
If the jam is in the toner cartridge area but has not reached the  
fuser and roller area, reach inside and carefully pull the sheet  
straight forward and out.  
CAUTION  
CAUTION  
Do not pull the sheet straight up. This can damage the printer.  
Only use your hands to remove jammed media. Using other objects  
can damage internal parts.

If the jam is between the rollers, grasp the sheet with both hands  
and slowly pull it straight up and out.  
EN  
Resolving paper feed problems 175  
 
5
If the jam has entered the front output slot, grasp the sheet, and  
carefully pull it straight up and out.  
6
If the jam is only visible from the front of the front output slot, raise  
the front cover part way with one hand. With the other hand,  
grasp the sheet and pull it toward you.

After removing all sheets and fragments of media, replace the  
toner cartridge, and close the printer door and the front paper  
path door.  
The product, in most cases, reprints the jammed page and finishes

Cleaning the scanner path  
You might need to clean parts of the scanner if the ink on items you  
are scanning can be smudged with your hand, or if the items have  
excessive amounts of dust or dirt on them. You might also need to  
clean these parts if there are smudges or other marks on documents  
or scans of documents.  
WARNING!  
Before cleaning the HP LaserJet 3200 product, disconnect it from the  
power source.  
To clean the scanner path  
1
Press the two printer door release latches, and open the printer  
door.  
2
If the long, white strip on the inside of the document release door  
is dirty, clean it with a dry cotton swab. If there is still something  
on the strip, dab a swab in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol,  
and gently clean the strip.  
WARNING!  
Alcohol is flammable. Keep it away from any open flame. Allow alcohol  
to dry completely before closing the printer and plugging in the power  
cord.  
EN  
Product Maintenance 213  
       
CAUTION  
If you must use alcohol, only use a very small amount. Exposing  
internal parts to dripping alcohol can damage them.  
3
If the long strip of glass opposite the long, white strip is dirty,  
clean it with a dry cotton swab. If there is still something on the  
glass strip, dab a swab in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and  
gently clean the glass.  
4
Inspect each of the six rollers in the scanner area for dirt or  
debris. Clean any dirty rollers with a lint-free cloth (such as lens  
tissues) dampened with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol.  
CAUTION  
Do not spray alcohol or any other liquid directly into the HP LaserJet  
3200 product. Doing so can damage the product.  
214 Chapter 8 - Problem Solving and Product Maintenance  
EN

Product Maintenance 215  
Recalibrating the scanner  
The HP LaserJet 3200 product was calibrated at the factory.  
However, you may need to recalibrate the scanner if you notice that  
white lines running through them.  
To recalibrate the scanner  
1
Clean the HP LaserJet 3200 product before recalibrating it. (See  
“To clean the scanner path” on page 213.)

4
On the control panel, press ENTER/MENU.  
Press the < key once to display SERVICEand press ENTER/MENU.  
Use the < or > key to select SCAN CALIBRATIONand press  
ENTER/MENU. After a few moments, the product prints a  
calibration report.  
It is recommended that you use HP LaserJet toner cartridges. HP has  
designed the product, toner cartridge, and toner formula to work  
together to give you optimal image quality and reliability from your  
product. To order an HP LaserJet toner cartridge, see “Ordering  
parts” on page 257.  
You can expect a toner cartridge to print approximately 2,500 pages  
when you are printing typical business letters with text covering about  
5 percent of the page. A page containing graphics uses more toner  
and shortens the life of the cartridge.  
It is very important to replace the toner cartridge when it is near the  
end of its life, which is often indicated by areas of faded print. If the  
toner runs out while faxes are being received, the faxes print as blank  
pages and you can lose the faxes. You can attempt to reprint these  
faxes. See “To reprint faxes” on page 66 for instructions about  
attempting to reprint.  
Recycling toner cartridges  
To reduce landfill waste, HP has adopted a recycling program for  
empty toner cartridges. A postage-paid shipping label can be found  
inside the new HP LaserJet toner cartridge box. Since 1990, the  
HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has collected more  
than 25 million used HP LaserJet cartridges that otherwise may have  
216 Chapter 8 - Problem Solving and Product Maintenance  
EN  
         
been discarded in the world’s landfills. To join this recycling effort,  
follow the instructions provided in the box that contains the new toner  
cartridge.  
Extending toner life by redistributing toner  
Areas of faded print are often an indicator that the toner cartridge is  
near the end of its toner life. You can temporarily reestablish print  
quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. (This is  
typically successful only twice.)  
EN  
Product Maintenance 217  
 
To redistribute toner  
1
Press the two printer door release latches and open the printer  
door.  
2
Using the handle on the toner cartridge, remove the toner  
cartridge from the product.  
3
Shake the toner cartridge from side to side about two times per  
second to distribute the toner evenly.  
218 Chapter 8 - Problem Solving and Product Maintenance

Paper weight equivalence table (approximate)  
The following table shows equivalent weights for different grades of  
paper you load for printing, copy output, and incoming faxes. Use this  
table to determine equivalent points in weight specifications other  
than U.S. bond weight. For example, to determine the equivalent of  
20 lb. U.S. bond weight paper in U.S. cover weight, locate the bond  
weight in the second column and scan across the row to the cover  
weight (fourth column). The equivalent is 28 lb.  
Shaded boxes indicate a commonly available standard weight for that  
grade. Text and book grades marked with an asterisk (*) actually  
calculate to 51, 61, 71, and 81 but are rounded to standard book/text  
weights of 50, 60, 70, and 80.  
Note  
For best results, use the paper paper output slot and special media  
lever when printing heavier paper. See “Selecting the output path.”

Environmental product stewardship program  
Hewlett-Packard Company is committed to providing quality products  
in an environmentally sound manner. This HP LaserJet printer has  
been designed with several attributes to minimize impacts on our  
environment. Please visit HP’s Commitment to the Environment  
website at http://www.hp.com/abouthp/environment for more  
information.  
This HP LaserJet printer design eliminates:  
Ozone production  
This product generates no appreciable ozone gas (O ).

This HP LaserJet printer design reduces:  
Energy consumption  
Energy usage drops to as little as 7 W while in low-power  
(PowerSave) mode. Not only does this save natural resources, but it  
also saves money without affecting the high performance of this  
product. This product qualifies for ENERGY STAR, which is a voluntary  
program to encourage the development of energy-efficient products.  
ENERGY STAR is a U.S. registered service mark of the U.S. EPA. As  
an ENERGY STAR partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has determined  
that this product meets ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy  
efficiency.  
240 Chapter A - Specifications  
EN  
           
Toner consumption  
Depending on the type of printer driver you have, you may be able to  
select a “draft” mode, which uses about 50% less toner, thereby  
extending the life of the toner cartridge. This is only available using  
printer driver properties when printing or making copies from the  
software.  
Paper use  
Depending on the type of program you use, you may be able to print  
two or four document pages on each printed page. This “N-up”  
printing practice and the printer’s manual duplex capability (two-sided  
printing) reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural  
resources.  
Plastics  
Plastic parts over 25 grams are marked according to international  
standards to enhance the ability to identify plastics for recycling  
purposes at the end of the product’s life.  
LaserJet Printing Supplies  
In many countries, this product's printing supplies (e.g., toner  
cartridge, drum, fuser) can be returned to HP through the HP Planet  
Partners Printing Supplies Environmental Program. An easy-to-use  
and free takeback program is available in more than 25 countries.  
Multilingual program information and instructions are included in  
every new HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge and Consumables package.  
HP Printing Supplies Environmental Program Information  
Since 1990, the HP Printing Supplies Environmental Program has  
collected more than 31 million used LaserJet toner cartridges that  
otherwise may have been discarded in the world's landfills. The HP  
LaserJet toner cartridges and consumables go to a collection center  
and bulk-shipped to our recycling partners who disassemble the  
cartridge for recycling. Materials are separated and converted into  
raw materials for use by other industries to make a variety of useful  
products.  
For more information on the HP Printing Supplies Environmental  
Program, please contact your local HP Sales and Service Office.

printer language (such as PostScript, PS, or PCL), and then sends  
the print file to the product.  
Private Branch Exchange (PBX)  
A small telephone switching system that typically is used by large  
businesses or universities to connect all telephone extensions within  
the organization. A PBX also connects to the public switched  
telephone network (PSTN) and may be either manual or dial,  
depending on the method used by extensions to place incoming or  
outgoing calls. Normally, the equipment is owned by the customer  
rather than leased from the telephone company.  
public switched telephone network (PSTN)  
The worldwide dial-up telephone network or a portion of that network.  
Users are assigned unique phone numbers, which allow them to  
connect to the PSTN through local telephone exchange companies.  
Often, this phrase is used when referring to data or other  
non-telephone services carried over a path initially established using  
normal telephone signaling and ordinary switched long distance  
telephone circuits.  
resolution  
The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The  
higher the dpi, the greater the resolution.  
RJ45  
A network connector that looks much like a standard telephone  
connector, except it is wider (it houses 8 wires instead of 4). Both  
Ethernet (10/100BaseTX) and Token Ring networks use this type of  
network connector.  
shared line  
A single telephone line that is used for both voice and fax calls.  
sticky note  
An annotation that is a multiline, resizable note. Similar to a paper  
sticky note, it covers the item information beneath it. You can move a

the HP LaserJet 3200 product to work on the network, you must have  
the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX network protocol running in addition to  
NetBEUI.  
.tif  
Stands for Tagged Image File Format. A .tif (or TIFF) is a graphic file  
format that was developed to capture scanned images. It is a format  
used on IBM-compatible computers, Macinstosh computers, and  
UNIX computers. Many graphic programs accept the .tif file format.  
Token ring  
A local area network in which transmission conflicts are avoided by  
the granting of “tokens” that give permission to send. A network node  
keeps the token while transmitting a message, if it has a message to  
transmit, and then passes the token on to the next node. IEEE 802.5  
is the most common type of token-ring network.  
TrueType fonts  
TrueType fonts use what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG)  
technology, which means that the printed output of TrueType fonts is  
identical to what appears on the screen.  
TWAIN  
An industry-standard for scanners and software. Using a TWAIN-  
compliant scanner with a TWAIN-compliant program, you can initiate  
a scan from within the program.  
Twisted pair  
A type of network cable commonly used in Ethernet networks.  
Watermarks  
A watermark adds background text to a document being printed. For  
example, you can print text in the background of your document  
stating that the document is "Confidential."  
You can select from a set of predefined watermarks. Once you select  
a watermark, you can change the font, size, angle, and style, as well  
as determine whether the printer will place the watermark on the first  
page only or all pages.  
268 Chapter - Glossary
