Selecting print media
In this section you will find information on the following topics:
Selecting print media
Print Selection
The company recommends using paper or HP Multipurpose paper, if available in your area (because these types of paper were specifically designed for use with the product), or other paper that meets the specifications. You can also use 100% recycled fiber paper if it meets the requirements.
Canvas printing may be uneven. Very smooth paper may pick up or push ink. Mismatched media may be jammed or jammed in the device. Also, poor quality paper, such as torn, wrinkled, or bent paper, may jam.
Avoid using envelopes with too smooth finishes, self-adhesive areas, clasps, or see-through windows. Also avoid using envelopes with rough, irregular, or curly edges, or with wrinkles, tears, or other damage.
Use sturdy envelopes weighing approximately 7.25 to 12.25 kg. Envelopes should be carefully sealed and folded tightly.
Media size
The paper feed tray can hold up to 125 sheets of 75 g/m2. The page feed slot can hold one sheet. Both can be configured to accommodate media sizes from 76.2 x 127 mm to 216 x 356 mm. This includes the following partial list of sheet and envelope sizes:

Selecting Items for Faxing, Copying, and Scanning
The device can scan items of various sizes from 51 x 89 mm (business card size) to 215 x 356 mm, and can fax and copy items from 51 x 89 mm to 215 x 889 mm.
The machine accepts thick paper, tissue paper, newsprint, magazine paper, transparencies, and photographs and other items in carrier sheets. Also, rough papers are easier to scan than smooth ones. You can feed smooth paper into the printer, but it may be difficult to feed. For getting best results, feed plain sheets one at a time with the special media lever set to the correct position.
To minimize the possibility of jams, follow these guidelines:
Remove self-adhesive tags.
Remove staples and paper clips.
Smooth out any kinks or wrinkles on documents before placing them in the document feed tray.
Do not insert any documents that have glue, correction fluid, or wet ink on them.
Do not insert paper or labels with adhesive backing.
Place documents with rips, perforations, or punch holes in a carrier sheet that you can buy or make yourself. (See Loading Special Items.)
Avoid using multiple shapes when copying.
Loading print media
Selecting the paper output path
The procedure for loading a document is the same for faxing, copying, or scanning. If your document was printed on normal weight paper (46 to 105 g/m2), see "To load standard print media". If your document is enclosed on a carrier sheet, printed on transparencies, or not on regular weight paper, see Loading Special Items.
To load standard print media
1 Adjust the document feed tray adjusters to match the size of the item you are loading.
Place up to 30 pages up to 30 pages in the document feeder, top first, face down.
Loading Special Items
When loading items to be faxed, copied, or scanned, small, fragile, light (lighter than 46 g/m2) items, and irregularly shaped items such as receipts, newspaper clippings, photographs, and old or dilapidated documents should be protected.
1 Do one of the following:
Place the element on the carrier sheet. You can either buy a carrier sheet or make your own by sticking the transparencies and paper together along one of the short sides. Place the item to be faxed, copied, or scanned on the carrier sheet, and then insert it into the document feeder with the stapled side first.
Using transparent tape, attach the front and back edges of the element to a piece of Letter or A4 paper. If the element is not square or rectangular, attach all of its edges to the sheet.
If you are using copy machine standard sizes, first make a copy of the element, and then send it through the scanner.
2 Adjust the document feed tray adjusters to match the size of the item you are loading.
3 Locate the special media slider at the top of the control panel and slide it to the right.
Do not touch the slider after the machine has started sending the page to be scanned.
4 Load paper into the document feeder only one page at a time, top first, face down.
When loading a business card, insert it long side first.
5 After feeding the special items, slide the special media slider back to the left. When feeding a stack of standard sheets with the paper adjuster set to the right, sheets may pass by several pieces and jam.
Download items for printing
Print media can be loaded in the paper feed tray or the page feed slot.
You can load up to 125 sheets of 75 g/m2 at a time in the paper feed tray and one sheet in the page feed slot.
Insert all media vertically (portrait orientation) into the paper feed tray or page feed slot. If you want to print the sheet horizontally ( landscape orientation), change the appropriate settings in your program. Do not print on paper smaller than 76.2 *& 127
The machine prints documents, makes copies, and prints received faxes using media from the paper feed tray (or page feed slot).
To load paper in the feed tray
1 Adjust the paper feed tray controls to match the size of the media you are loading.
2 Insert up to 125 sheets of paper into the paper feed tray. Be careful not to overfill the tray.
When adding paper to an existing stack in the paper tray
feed, always remove all paper and align it with a new stack before loading to avoid multifeeds or paper jams.
When loading special media, be sure to select the bottom paper output path.
3 Align the stack by reinstalling the adjusters.
Using the page feed slot
With the page feed slot, you can print one sheet of media without using the paper feed tray. The machine takes media from the page feed slot before it takes media from the paper feed tray.
The page feed slot can be useful when the first page printed is different from the rest. For example, you may need to print the first page of your assignment on letterhead or print the envelope first.
To print using the page feed slot
1 Set the adjusters at the sheet feed slot to approximately match the size of the sheet you are using.
2 Place one sheet of media in the page feed slot. When loading special media or letterhead, insert the media with the top first and the front facing you.
3 Align the sheet by reinstalling the adjusters.
When loading special media, be sure to select the bottom paper output path.
Selecting the paper output path
The output path selection determines whether the printed media exits from the paper feed slot or from the front paper output slot. Use the front paper output slot when printing on special media such as 100 g/m2 or heavier paper, envelopes, transparencies, or labels. This will prevent wrinkling and curling of the paper.
To select the paper output path
To use the front paper output slot, make sure the front paper output cover is closed.
To prevent curl, use a straight paper path by opening the front paper output cover. Any media exiting the front paper output slot will be printed in reverse order.
To avoid paper jams, make room at the front paper output slot to allow media to exit freely, and make sure the front paper output cover is fully open.

For all types of work the Guarantee is provided. Moreover, in the event of a warranty case, you do not have to bring the equipment to our hospital, all problems will be eliminated by our engineers, having gone to your office, if it is impossible to eliminate it on the spot, we will deliver the equipment to the hospital at our own expense, for carrying out warranty repair, and after the work is done, we will deliver it back.
HP LaserJet 3200 Diagnostics- this is work to identify faulty units, units of devices, parts, or to determine the amount of work needed to eliminate the malfunction, during which additional diagnostics may be required at the copier's operating site (MFP) or in a hospital. As a rule, this is the most difficult and responsible component of the repair of office equipment.
HP LaserJet 3200 Prevention- standard work, the volume and frequency of which depends on the design of the device and is defined in the service documentation from the manufacturer. Prevention is not a repair procedure, it does not eliminate malfunctions caused by worn or damaged parts, blocks, assemblies.
Work to eliminate the malfunction of the apparatus with the replacement of parts and disassembly of one or more components of the apparatus.
MFP- a multifunctional device that combines a fax, printer and scanner. This is extremely practical for modern offices where documents need to be constantly processed, as well as for home use. If it is necessary to work exclusively with the A4 sheet format, then the MFP is also extremely bargain, because its cost is an order of magnitude lower than copiers.
Despite all the advantages of MFPs, their reliability and durability, such products can fail. There can be a large number of reasons for this]: non-compliance with the operating rules, lack of proper care, wear of consumables, factory defects, prolonged use of the device, etc.
The most common failures of the HP LaserJet 3200
HP LaserJet 3200 won't turn on
In 90% of cases, these are malfunctions of the power supply or control module. Fix it with your own hands this problem difficult. A specialist visit is required.
MFP does not scan, writes "scanner error"
When turned on, the machine starts to check all its blocks in order to exit the ready state. The scanner assembly test is performed as follows: the lamp and the optics system detect a white stripe (special reference point) to check the performance of the scanning and reflective ability of the MFP to perceive reflected light. If the optics are dirty, then the brightness of the light reflected from these surfaces is perceived to be reduced, due to which the device is unable to determine the white band and generates an error.
HP LaserJet 3200 won't pick up paper from tray
There can be two reasons for this: a broken paper tray, or wear on the surface of the rubber roller responsible for feeding paper. In both cases replacement of spare parts is necessary. It should also be noted that the rubber paper feed roller has a certain resource for each model of the machine. This information indicated, as a rule, either on the MFP itself or in the technical documentation.
Broken stove
Almost every MFP at the last stage of the printing process has a thermal unit, the purpose of which is to bake the toner on paper. The thermal unit (stove) consists of two shafts:
teflon shaft - warms up to high temperature and upon contact with the paper melts the toner and "bakes" it into the paper. So that the paper with the image does not stick and does not wrap around the shaft, separators are used - small "paws" that separate the paper from the Teflon shaft after thermal contact.
rubber shaft - presses paper with toner against the Teflon roller.
Signs of a malfunctioning stove:
- The paper sheet comes out of the device with a characteristic rustle;
- The sheet may jam (usually only one of its corners);
- The occurrence of duplicates of an image or text that should be printed;
- In the oven, paper sheets begin to jam, while the MFP gives an error "Jam";
- Vertical streaks, spots, or smear appear in the image.
A very common stove malfunction is a breakdown of one or more separators. This causes the paper to wrinkle and jam. The main reason for the breakdown is incorrect removal of paper jams (the user breaks the separators himself) and the ingress of foreign objects into the machine during printing (staples, etc.). Another malfunction is a breakdown of the heating lamp or temperature sensors. Repair will consist only in their replacement.
HP LaserJet 3200 prints black sheet
There is no clear reason for this phenomenon. A black sheet occurs due to a disturbance in the imaging process. As a rule, this is a breakdown of such components as the development unit (cartridge), high-voltage unit, scanner. The first thing a user can do is change the cartridge. If this does not help, a BESTCOM service center specialist is called.
Printed image is blurry, not clear
In this case, the problem may be a malfunction of the paper feed mechanism or a breakdown in the optical system of the HP LaserJet 3200 copier. To fix the problem, you need to replace the broken mechanism and clean the mirrors. But such work must be done with extreme caution, and it is better to entrust a specialist.
HP LaserJet 3200 picks up multiple sheets from tray
In the paper feed tray of each MFP model, there is a special separation platform to slow down sheets from a pack, because the gripping mechanism pulls not one sheet, but several at once. However, the surface of the pad may wear off, causing the machine to draw in a large amount of paper (2-5 sheets). It is unlikely that such a problem can be prevented. The rubber from which the platform is made is consumable. To reduce the frequency of its replacement, you should purchase only high-quality paper.
"Paper jam" in the HP LaserJet 3200 MFP
The main reasons are:
contamination of optosensors due to the use of low-quality paper and the occurrence of paper dust
breakage of the paper path recorder flag when the user incorrectly removes the paper jam
