NOTE: The Windows software installer installs the HP Smart Device Agent Base service. The file size is less than 100 kb. Its only function is to check for printers connected via USB hourly. No data is collected. If a USB printer is found, it then tries to locate a Jet Advantage Management Connector (JAMc) instance on the network. If a JAMc is found, the HP Smart Device Agent Base is securely upgraded to a full Smart Device Agent from JAMc, which will then allow printed pages to be accounted for in a Managed Print Services (MPS) account. The driver only web packs downloaded from www.hp.com for the printer and installed through the Add Printer wizard do not install this service.
To uninstall the service, open the Control Panel, select Programs or Programs and Features, and then select Add/Remove Programs or Uninstall a Program to remove the service. The file name is HPSmartDeviceAgentBase.

To acquire cartridges, contact the managed service representative. Make sure to have the product model number, which appears on the product label on the back of the printer.
The printer uses four colors and has a different toner cartridge for each color: yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K). The toner cartridges are inside the front door.
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until it is time to replace it.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover the green imaging drum if the toner cartridge must be removed from the printer for an extended period of time.
CAUTION: Do not touch the developer roller. Fingerprints on the developer roller can cause print-quality problems.

  3. Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the printer control panel.

  4. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides to the appropriate indentation in the tray. The arrow on the tray guide should line up exactly with the marking on the tray.
    NOTE: Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or markings in the tray.
    The following images show examples of the paper-size indentations in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these.

  5. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer and that paper is being stored in unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry. In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack. In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray, and flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.HP Color LaserJet Managed E45028 - Control panel help button3

  6. Check the printer control panel to see if it is displaying a prompt to feed the paper manually. Load paper, and continue. The rollers above the tray might be contaminated. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with warm water. Use distilled water, if it is available.
    CAUTION: Do not spray water directly onto the printer. Instead, spray water on the cloth or dab the cloth in water and wring it out before cleaning the rollers.
    The following image shows examples of the roller location for various printers.

The printer picks up multiple sheets of paper
If the printer picks up multiple sheets of paper from the tray, try these solutions:

  1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray and flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, and flip it over. Do not fan the paper. Return the stack of paper to the tray.
    NOTE: Fanning the paper introduces static electricity. Instead of fanning the paper, flex the stack by holding it at each end and bringing the ends up to form a U shape. Then, rotate the ends down to reverse the U shape. Next, hold each side of the stack of paper and repeat this process. This process releases individual sheets without introducing static electricity. Straighten the paper stack against a table before returning it to the tray.HP Color

  2. Use only paper that meets HP specifications for this printer.

  3. Verify that the humidity in the room is within specifications for this printer, and that paper is being stored in unopened packages. Most reams of paper are sold in moisture-proof wrapping to keep paper dry.
    In high-humidity environments, paper at the top of the stack in the tray can absorb moisture, and it might have a wavy or uneven appearance. If this happens, remove the top 5 to 10 sheets of paper from the stack.
    In low-humidity environments, excess static electricity can cause sheets of paper to stick together. If this happens, remove the paper from the tray and flex the stack as described above.

  4. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.

  5. Make sure the tray is not overfilled by checking the stack-height markings inside the tray. If it is overfilled, remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray.
    The following examples show the stack-height markings in the trays for various printers. Most HP printers have markings similar to these. Also make sure that all sheets of paper are below the tabs near the stack-height marks. These tabs help hold the paper in the correct position as it enters the printer.HP

Follow these steps to inspect each toner cartridge:

  1. Remove the toner cartridge from the printer, and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.

  2. Check the memory chip for damage.

  3. Examine the surface of the green imaging drum.
    CAUTION: Do not touch the imaging drum. Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.

  4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner cartridge.

  5. Reinstall the toner cartridge and print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.

Check paper and the printing environment
Use the following information to check the paper selection and the printing environment.
Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications
Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications.

  • Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.
  • Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.
  • Use paper that has not been previously printed on.
  • Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.
  • Use paper that is designed for use in laser printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for use in Inkjet printers.
  • Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

Step two: Check the environment
The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause of print-quality or paper-feeding issues.
Try the following solutions:

  • Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.
  • Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications.
  • Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet.
  • Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
  • Remove anything that is blocking the vents on the printer. The printer requires good air flow on all sides, including the top.
  • Protect the printer from airborne debris, dust, steam, grease, or other elements that can leave residue inside the printer.

Step three: Set the individual tray alignment
Follow these steps when text or images are not centered or aligned correctly on the printed page when printing from specific trays.

  1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Settings menu.

  2. Select the following menus:
    a. Copy/Print or Print
    b. Print Quality
    c. Image Registration

HP policy on non-HP supplies
HP cannot recommend the use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new or remanufactured.
NOTE: For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or a refilled toner cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or refilled toner cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the product for the particular failure or damage.

HP anticounterfeit Web site

Go to www.hp.com/go/anticounterfeit when you install an HP cartridge and the control-panel message indicates
the cartridge is non-HP. HP will help determine if the cartridge is genuine and take steps to resolve the problem.
Your cartridge might not be a genuine HP cartridge if you notice the following:

  • The supplies status page indicates that a non-HP supply is installed.
  • You are experiencing a high number of problems with the cartridge.
  • The cartridge does not look like it usually does (for example, the packaging differs from HP packaging).

Data stored on the toner cartridge

The HP toner cartridges used with this product contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of the product.
In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product, which might include the following: the date when the toner cartridge was first installed, the date when the toner cartridge was last used, the number of pages printed using the toner cartridge, the page coverage, the printing modes used, any printing errors that might have occurred, and the product model. This information helps HP design future products to meet our customers’ printing needs.
The data collected from the toner cartridge memory chip does not contain information that can be used to identify a customer or user of the toner cartridge or their product.
HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from toner cartridges returned to HP’s free return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/recycle ). The memory chips from this sampling are read and studied in order to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling this toner cartridge might have access to this data, as well.
Any third party possessing the toner cartridge might have access to the anonymous information on the memory chip.

Where any supply of products or services is for business purposes, you agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply and that given the nature and value of the transaction, this is fair and reasonable.

Customer self-repair warranty service

HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period, HP identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts: 1) Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service. 2) Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for Customer Self Repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, this may be done at no additional charge under the type of warranty service designated for your product.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery.
Same-day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help you over the phone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.

B Environmental product stewardship program

Protecting the environment
HP is committed to providing quality products in an environmentally sound manner. This product has been designed with several attributes to minimize impacts on our environment.
Ozone production
The airborne emissions of ozone for this product has been measured according to a standardized protocol* and when these emissions data are applied to an anticipated high-use scenario in an office workspace**, HP has determined there is no appreciable amount of ozone generated during printing and the levels are well within current indoor air quality standards and guidelines.

  • Test method for the determination of emissions from hardcopy devices with respect to awarding the environmental label for office devices with printing function; DE-UZ 205 – BAM January, 2018
    Based on ozone concentration when printing 2 hours per day in 30.6 cubic meter room with a ventilation rate of 0.68 air changes per hour with HP printing supplies
    Power consumption**
    Power usage drops significantly while in Ready, Sleep, or Off mode, which saves natural resources and saves money without affecting the high performance of this product. HP printing and imaging equipment marked with the ENERGY STAR ® logo is qualified to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR specifications for
    imaging equipment. The following mark will appear on ENERGY STAR qualified imaging products:

Additional ENERGY STAR qualified imaging product model information is listed at: www.hp.com/go/energystar
Toner consumption
EconoMode uses less toner, which might extend the life of the print cartridge. HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable, consider replacing the print cartridge.
Paper use
This product’s duplex feature (manual or automatic) and N-up printing (multiple pages printed on one page) capability can reduce paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources.
Plastics
Plastic parts over 25 grams are marked according to international standards that enhance the ability to identify plastics for recycling purposes at the end of the product’s life.
