Color Laserjet M476dw MFP: use of colour toner M476dw when printing in black only pages?

I bought a M476dw about a month ago.  After printing the demo page of color a few times and one or two color prints and then until I changed the default settings, there are a few pages with "accent color. Other that that, I've only been printing black pages since then.

Supplies report says I have 70% left on my estimated (printed pages: 310 750 remaining) black print cartridge and the remaining 90% on all color cartridges three ((printed pages estimated 33 remaining > 1000)

I realize, these are just estimates, but I'm surprised that 33 pages of printing almost all who were just the accent color resulted in 10% of the consumed color cartridges.

I have printer connected directly to the wall and leave it on all the time, so no excess cleaning cycles are generated, and my default print mode is: black & white / grayscale printing.

I know that provided cartridges are cartridges 'starter' but are there still other factors under MY control on colour toner consumption?

Thank you!

Jim

Hi Jim, The M476 turn all durning cartridges a print job mono-noir, even if the color toner is not applied to the page.  It's features of the motor to the drum cartridge luberciate and prevent damage.  The rotation is counted even if there is no toner applied to the page.  As you mentioned the status of supplies is an estimate and is controlled by the firmware of the engine, and levels of toner alerts can be set to low or very low, with other settings under each heading.  Basically, the State of cartridges supplies is an estimate, based on the use and rotations or print quality may continue until the age is observed or impression continued after the alert status.  A research on HP support/troubleshooting on this topic could provide additional resources.

Thank you

Norm

  • HP Color LaserJet M277dw MFP (: can't stop double-sided default printing)

    How can I disable the default duplex printing? I disabled it in system / paper Setup / Duplex. Is there somewhere else? Other posts here say to go into the settings of the device - where is that?

    Hello
    Follow these steps to disable two-sided printing:

    Open the file that you want to print. On the file menu, select print. The print window is displayed.

    NOTE: The print window might be minimized. Click Show details to display all available parameters.

    Click on the settings drop-down list, it usually appears under the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

    Select layout from the drop-down.

    Set the duplex as Off.

    You can save the settings as a preset by clicking preset > save current settings as preset.

    By default, the print job by completing these settings will remain until another preset is used in the future.

  • HP Color Laserjet M277n MFP: How to use the black cartridges only when the color toners are empty

    Hello team HP,

    I recently bought a HP Color Laserjet MFP M277n I printer I print black & white user only and really don't need color prints. How to set the printer options to print only black & white?

    Hi @Pavumba,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand you're wondering how to use black ink only on your HP Color Laserjet M277n MFP printer. I would be glad to help and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I see that you wonder if you need to replace the color cartridge when it is low. This printer is a printer AIO, therefore, you need to replace the ink cartridge when it becomes too weak to be able to resume printing. However, if you print mostly in black, you can configure a preset black only to print in black and white. This would help reduce the use of the color cartridges.

    NOTE: Composite black - for black and white images and photos, a mix of colors called 'composite black' can be used to achieve the quality significantly improved picture and soft gray tones that can be achieved with only black toner. For users who want to print images using just black toner, many HP printers color customer offer configurable options allowing the client to print using only black toner. For example, by selecting "print in grayscale" in the printer driver Specifies print using black ink only. For more information about the use of the toner cartridges, please see this article: how the Toner is used.

    No, I did not change the toner, but I found the solution.

    This solution worked for me and my printer works now. You also try MAC OS.

    Remove the printer in printers and Scanners.
    Click on the button +, select the Protocol IP on top, type the address IPv4 of the printer, select Jet Direct below and then apply.

    My HP Color Laserjet M476nw MFP made a crowing noise when printing envelopes.  Require lubrication?

    If you use non HP / recycled / fill the ink cartridges, then the first step that I would say is to replace these cartridges a genuine HP toner cartridges.

    If not the toner cartridge, then it would be one of the components of hardware printer that is at issue, where a Tech HP may need to perform a physical inspection of the aircraft and the error condition.

    Hi Christoph,

    The printer is not compatible with Snow Leopard, it is supported on Lion (10.7) or later versions.

    You can find the system requirements below:

    The update of the firmware utilitywas not desinged for your operating system and therefore does not work on it.

    As the connectewd printer to a network, follow these steps to update firmware directly from the menu of the printer:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Color-LaserJet-MFP-M277-series/7089945/model/7089949/document/c04517106/

  • Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP: A3 manual duplex Duplex on Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP taken in charge?

    Hello

    I hope someone can help to answer this question. I am trying to print a newspaper on the double-sided A3, but I get no prompt to reinsert the paper to print on the other side, as I do when I print A4.

    The parameters have been triple checked and still the A3 prints out sequentialy on one side.

    My question is the Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP support manual duplex Duplex A3?

    Thanks in advance

    JEAN

    The CM 6030 / 6040 CM User Guide manual States:

    «Duplex printing: provides printing automatic duplex (print on both sides of paper).» The range of paper size for automatic duplex printing is 175 to 320 mm (6.9 to 12.6 in.) x 210 to 457 mm (8.3 "to 18"). Media weight range is from 60 to 220 g/m2 (16 to 58 lbs.)"

    If you use manual duplex because the printer driver does not offer the automatic duplex option, it may be that the driver does not know that a duplex unit is equipped.

    The function "automatic detection" used by some drivers on the install (or update) does not always; make sure the driver knows that a duplex unit is present on the printer (assuming that a single is present):

    • For the instance of the printer in question, bring up the printer properties dialogue.
    • Select the device settings tab.
    • Make sure the duplex unit is set to installed and not installed.

    You will probably need to be logged in with administrator credentials in order to change the settings of the device.

    Hello @JljoThomas!

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I understand that you have a problem of activation of the functionality of web services on your MFP HP LaserJet Pro M277n. I'd love to help you with this.

    First of all, you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have used a surge protector/power bar this whole time and you feel that this is not the case, please connect to a wall outlet so that we can eliminate the source of energy as the primary cause. Issues when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power
    In this document you will see, QUESTION: questions or problems may arise when a HP LaserJet printer is connected to a UPS (UPS), a power strip or a surge protector
    ↑ This is not limited to the Laserjet printers.

    If this does not resolve the issue, we are going to let the router and unplug the power cable (NOTE: do not reset the router...), then do the same with the printer and shut down the computer. After a minute, plug in the router, wait to fully turn on, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light become solid. Once the router and the printer are on, go ahead and re - turn on the computer. This will refresh the network connection.

    If you are still unable to connect to web services after trying these steps, we can try to set a manual DNS server of your printer to connect to.

    On the front panel of the printer, press the wireless icon. Select it wireless TO get the wireless summary. Do not your IP address.

    1. on your computer, open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the printer in the address bar. This will bring up the embedded Web server (EWS) page.

    2. at the top of the page, select Networking.

    3. in the left side, select Identification network.

    4. in article for DNS, under primary (IPv4) enter 8.8.8.8, under secondary (IPv4) enter 8.8.4.4.

    5. Select Apply at the bottom of the screen.

    6. try to activate the web services again.

    If it is still unable to connect, try to enter 209.244.0.3 for the primary (IPv4) and 209.244.0.4 for secondary (IPv4)

    Hope this helps!

  • HP Color LaserJet M477fnw MFP: Scan to computer button disappeared

    Hello, I saw similar comments of the same issue, but none with a solution.  The closest is this: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/How-to-fix-missing-quot-scan-to-computer-quot-touchsc...

    Problem: We have a new printer that we have Setup.  During the installation process, on the touch screen, provided the message to "Scan to Computer".  We used the option to make sure it worked and took part in the computer we wanted.  We restarted the printer, and the option is now missing!  The option "Scan to Computer" has completely disappeared.  Where it was once a touchscreen button / option, no longer exists.

    Printer: HP Color LaserJet M477fnw MFP

    OS: Mac OS X 10.8.xx

    I downloaded the firmware update, but that doesn't work either.  I tried using the verification of updates of the touch screen of the printer, it can never connect.  I connected to the internet, I connected directly on a hard line, still no connection.  I literally just bought this printer yesterday, with a 2-year service plan, drove an hour to the next closest store that had it in stock and it gives me nothing else problems.

    I have unplugged and waited a minute.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and the software from my computer.

    I'm out of ideas.

    Hello @gfrd3489

    If you talked about scanning to the icon post from work or option after pressing the icon of the scan on the printer itself that one has been dropped by HP since she had so many questions with that like on some devices will only scan flat and not of ADF.

    If you notice you still have other options such as scanning to USB key, scan to e-mail or scan in network on the printer folder of are next to the HP scanning app on the PC for windows and mac

    Devices most recent are not supposed to have this option on the first place and the firmware and normal updates which will remove devices more alumni who have it

    There were a few M477 which were sold to vendors when it first came out which was which, but as soon as he gets the first update will be deleted

    hope that clarifies the question

  • Windows Vista Ultimate Edition with HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP

    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, the computer was bought in 2008, 32-bit.  I also use HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP - about once a year, I have a major problem with the scan software & Windows Vista.  Both machines are in good working condition.  This time, I actually uninstalled the HP software and bought a new CD from HP specfically for Vista and installed the Vista software for the HP mfp - however, the scan option does not appear in the center of HP solutions as a button.  This is a feature I've always used.  What is the HP Solution Center is the scanner is not installed - although in the installed software.  Last night, I downloaded a patch and that did not correct the problem.  In addition, the HP LaserJet CM 1015 is in 'scanners and cameras' in the Panel configuration, but not in the HP Solution Center...

    Hello

    Try to install the following package to make sure that your drivers are perfectly up-to-date:

    https://support.Apple.com/kb/DL907?locale=en_US

    Then restart your Mac and try to scan the image.

    If the same persisnts open the JSCA-Packard folder and move the HP scanning application to the trash.

    Then install the HP Easy Scan app instead (which is the latest version of HP scanning):

    https://iTunes.Apple.com/us/app/HP-easy-scan/id967004861?MT=12

    Now try scanning using the application and check for the difference.

I asked HP about this problem and they can't help me because it is a software problem and not hardware related

    Edit: I have a program of snooper network called Netscan indicates the printer working group is "WORKGROUP" and my working group is "MSHOME". This would cause problems? I can't find a way to change the workgroup printers.

    Hello
     
    Perform the check and the boot if the problem persists.
     

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: perform step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
