Media that can damage the printer
Do not use media that can damage the printer. Do not use media with staples attached. Do not use transparencies, labels, photo, or glossy paper designed for inkjet printers or other low temperature printers. Use only media that is specified for use with HP Color LaserJet printers. Do not use paper that is embossed or coated and is not designed for the temperatures of the fuser. Do not use letterhead paper with low temperature dyes or thermography. Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that are designed for the temperatures of heat of the fuser. Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or that melts, offsets, or discolors when exposed to the temperature of the fuser. Do not print on the back side of media that is designed to be printed on one side only.



To order HP LaserJet printing supplies, go to http://www.hp.com/go/ljsupplies/ in the U.S. or to http://www.hp.com/ghp/buyonline.html/ worldwide.

Media to avoid
Media outside the printer specifications will cause a loss of print quality and increase the occurrence of jams. Do not use paper that is too rough. Use paper less than 250 Sheffield smoothness tested. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard 3-hole punched paper. Do not use multi-part or multi-page forms. To ensure even color, do not use paper with a watermark if printing solid patterns.

Managing supplies
Life expectancies of supplies
The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at approximately 5% coverage, a cyan, magenta, or yellow print cartridge for the HP Color LaserJet CM1015/CM1017 MFP lasts an average of 2,000 pages, and a black print cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages. A typical business letter has 5% coverage.

Check and order supplies
Check the supplies status from the control panel by printing a Supplies Status page, or viewing the HP ToolboxFX. Hewlett-Packard recommends that placing an order for a replacement print cartridge when the Low message for a print cartridge first displays. For typical use, the Order message indicates that approximately two weeks of life remains. When using a new, authentic HP print cartridge, it is possible to obtain the following types of supplies information: Amount of cartridge remaining Estimated number of pages remaining Number of pages printed Other supplies information NOTE If the MFP is connected to the network, it is possible to set up HP ToolboxFX to send an e-mail notification when a print cartridge is low or is near the end of its useful life. If the MFP is directly connected to a computer, set the HP ToolboxFX to notify you when supplies are low.

Check supply status and order using the control panel
Do one of the following: Check the supplies status gauges on the control panel. These gauges indicate when a print cartridge is low or empty. The "?" also indicates when a non-HP print cartridge is first installed. To print the Supplies Status page from the MFP, select Reports Menu, then Supplies Status.

If the supplies levels are low, reorder supplies through the local HP dealer, by telephone, or online. See http://www.hp.com/go/ljsupplies to order online.

Check and order supplies using HP ToolboxFX
Order supplies from HP ToolboxFX by clicking the Shop for Supplies link in the top-right of the HP ToolboxFX window. Internet access is required to connect to the Web site.

Check and order supplies using HP Solution Center
In HP Solution Center, select the MFP. The device status page shows supplies information. To order use the HP ToolboxFX.

Follow these guidelines for storing print cartridges: Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until it is ready for use. CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Store the supply in a location where the temperature is within the recommended temperature range. Store the supply in a horizontal position. Store the supply in a dark, dry location away from heat and magnetic sources.

Replacing and recycling supplies
When installing a new HP print cartridge, follow the instructions included on the new supply's box, or see the Getting Started Guide. When recycling supplies: Place the used supply in the box in which the new supply arrived Complete the enclosed return label Send the used supply to HP for recycling

For complete information, see the recycling guide included with each new HP supply item.

HP policy on non-HP supplies
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP supplies, either new or remanufactured. When they are not HP products, HP cannot influence the product design or quality. Service or repair required as a result of using a non-HP supply is not covered under the MFP warranty. When inserting a supply into the MFP, the MFP displays whether or not the supply is a genuine HP supply. When a genuine HP is inserted and that supply has reached the low state from another HP MFP, the MFP identifies the supply as non-HP. Simply return the supply to the original MFP to reactivate HP features and functionality.

Reset the MFP for non-HP supplies
When a non-HP print cartridge is installed, a question mark appears in the displays above the cartridge that is non-HP. To print with this supply press OK the first time this non-HP supply is installed. The status gauges do not indicate when this type of supply is low or empty. CAUTION The MFP may not stop printing with non-HP supplies. MFP damage can occur if the MFP prints with an empty print cartridge.

Cleaning the MFP
During the printing process, paper, toner and dust particles can accumulate inside the MFP. Over time, this buildup can cause print-quality problems such as toner specks or smearing. This MFP has a cleaning mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.

Clean the paper path using HP ToolboxFX
NOTE Use the following procedure to clean the paper path using the HP ToolboxFX. To clean the engine when the computer is running an operating system that does not support HP ToolboxFX, browse to the \UTIL\CLEANPAGE directory on the MFP CD-ROM for instructions on cleaning the paper path. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ensure the MFP is turned on and in the Ready state. Open HP ToolboxFX. In the menu tree for the HP Color LaserJet CM1015/1017 MFP, expand the Help folder, and then click the Troubleshooting page. In the Cleaning Page section, click Print Page. A cleaning page prints. Insert the cleaning page in tray 1 with the printed side up. In the Cleaning Page section, click Clean. Follow the instructions on the control panel.

Clean the scanner glass
Dirty glass from debris may cause scan and copy image defects. 1. Turn device off, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket, and raise the lid.

Clean the glass by using a soft lint-free cloth that has been moistened with nonabrasive glass cleaner.

CAUTION Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, or carbon tetrachloride on any part of the device; these can damage the device. Do not place liquids directly on the glass. They might seep under it and damage the device. 3. To prevent spotting, dry the glass using a soft lint-free cloth.

Calibrating the MFP
The MFP automatically self-calibrates, but calibration settings can be manually adjusted by using the HP ToolboxFX. Environmental differences or aging print cartridges might cause fluctuations in image density. The MFP accounts for this with image stabilization control. The MFP automatically calibrates at various times to maintain the highest level of print quality. Also request a calibration by using the HP ToolboxFX. The MFP does not interrupt a print job to calibrate. It waits until the job is complete before calibrating or cleaning. While the MFP is calibrating, it pauses printing for the time that is required to complete the calibration.

Calibrate the MFP from the front control panel.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Press Menu. Press the navigation arrows until the display reads System setup. Press OK. Press the navigation arrows until the display reads Print quality. Press OK. Press the navigation arrows until the display reads Calibrate color. Press OK. Press the navigation arrows until the display reads Calibrate now. Press OK.

10. Press OK to confirm Calibrate now.

Calibrate the MFP from HP ToolboxFX
1. Open HP ToolboxFX in one of these ways: 2. 3. On the desktop, double-click the HP ToolboxFX icon. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to HP, point to HP Color LaserJet CM1015/1017 MFP Series, and click HP ToolboxFX.
