HP LaserJet 1020 Printer PDF User Guide

Priority feed slot
You should use the priority feed slot when feeding one sheet of paper, envelope, postcard, label, or transparency. You can also use the priority feed slot to print the first page on different media than the rest of the document. Media guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the printer and that the print is not skewed (crooked on the media). When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the width of the media that you are using.

Main input tray
The main input tray, accessed from the front of the printer, holds up to 150 sheets of 20-lb paper or other media. For information about media specifications, see Printer capacities and ratings on page 75. Media guides ensure the media is correctly fed into the printer and the print is not skewed (crooked on the media). The main input tray has both side and front media guides. When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the length and width of the media that you are using. Output bin The output bin is located on the top of the printer. Printed media is collected here in the correct sequence. The output media support provides improved stacking for large print jobs.

You can access the printer properties in the following ways:
* Through the software application that you are using to print. This only changes the settings for the current software application.

and Windows XP.

Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (using the default Start menu view): Click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.

Print setting priorities

Printer information page If a particular print setting can be changed in more than one of the ways listed above, use the method that has the highest priority.

Printer media considerations
HP LaserJet printers produce excellent print quality. The printer accepts a variety of media, such as cut-sheet paper (including recycled paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, vellum, and custom-size paper. Properties such as weight, grain, and moisture content are important factors affecting printer performance and output quality. The printer can use a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this user guide. Media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:
* Poor print quality
* Increased media jams
* Premature wear on the printer, requiring repair

For best results, use only HP brand paper and print media. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands. Because they are not HP products, HP cannot influence or control their quality. It is possible for media to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which HP has no control. Before purchasing a large quantity of media, make sure that it meets the requirements specified in this user guide and in the HP LaserJet printer family print media guide. Always test media before you purchase a large quantity. CAUTION: Using media that does not meet HP’s specifications might cause problems for the printer, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the HP warranty or service agreements.

Canceling a print job
You can cancel a print job from a software application or a print queue. To stop the printer immediately, remove the remaining paper from the printer. After the printer stops, use one of the following options.
* Software application: Typically, a dialog box appears briefly on your screen, allowing you to cancel the print job.
* Windows print queue: If a print job is waiting in a print queue (computer memory) or print spooler, delete the job there. Click Start, Settings, and Printers or Printers and Faxes. Double-click the HP LaserJet 1020 icon to open the window, select your print job, and click Delete or Cancel.
If the status lights on the control panel continue to blink after you cancel a print job, the computer is still sending the job to the printer. Either delete the job from the print queue or wait until the computer finishes sending data. The printer will return to the Ready state.
