Performing printer tasks

In this section, you can find information about how to send documents to print, how to print on special media, and how to print on media of user-defined size.

Canceling a print job

You can cancel a print job in these ways:

Press the (cancel button) on the printer. [Pressing the (cancel button) clears the job that the printer is currently processing. It does not affect jobs waiting to be processed.]

For Windows, double-click the printer icon that appears in the lower right corner of the computer screen. Select the document you want to cancel. On the Document menu, click Cancel.

For the Mac OS, click the Print Center icon or the Printer Setup Utility icon. In the Printer List dialog box, double-click the printer icon. In the HP Business Inkjet 1000 dialog box, select the print job and click Delete.

Printing on both sides (duplexing)

You can print on both sides of a sheet of paper automatically using an optional auto-duplex unit. This is called automatic duplexing. To print on both sides of a page, you must specify duplex options in your application or in the printer driver.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page

When printing on both sides of the page using the optional auto-duplex unit, use the following guidelines:

The auto-duplex unit supports the following paper sizes: letter, legal, executive, A4, and ISO B5. It does not support smaller sizes or custom sizes.

Minimum width: 3 inches (100 mm)

Maximum width: 8.5 inches (216 mm)

Minimum length: 5 inches (148 mm)

Maximum length: 11.7 inches (292 mm)

To print on both sides of paper, make the selection from the application or printer driver. See Performing automatic duplexing.

The minimum top margin should be at least 0.5 inch (12 mm).

Do not print on both sides of transparencies, banner media, envelopes, plain premium inkjet paper, photo paper, brochure paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m2) or heavier than 24 lb bond (90 g/m2). Jams might occur with these types of media.

Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and prepunched holes. The auto-duplex unit prints the second side of paper first. For Tray 1, load the paper with the front side facing down.

1000 specifications

The HP 1000 was a series of minicomputers produced by Hewlett-Packard from the early 1970s through the late 1980s. Originally introduced in 1973, the HP 1000 aimed to provide high-performance computing capabilities within the reach of small to medium-sized businesses and specialized industries. This machine was distinctive not only for its advanced technology but also for the versatility it offered in various applications.

One of the standout features of the HP 1000 was its architecture. The system utilized a 16-bit word size, which allowed for efficient processing and execution of instructions. The HP 1000 employed a unique architecture known as the "Hewlett-Packard 1000 Microprogrammed System," which enabled it to execute a broad range of instructions efficiently. This made the HP 1000 particularly well-suited for data processing applications, scientific calculations, and high-level computing tasks.

The HP 1000 series was fully modular, allowing users to customize and expand their systems as needed. It supported various input/output devices, memory sizes, and even offered options for solid-state disk drives, which were cutting-edge for that time. The system’s modularity not only provided flexibility but also enhanced maintainability, enabling users to swap out components without significant downtime.

Another key aspect of the HP 1000 was its support for a wide range of programming languages, including FORTRAN, COBOL, and BASIC. This made it appealing to a variety of users, from engineers who needed to perform complex calculations to business analysts focused on data management. Additionally, the HP 1000 was designed to run multiple jobs simultaneously, making it a precursor to modern multitasking operating systems.

Networking capabilities were also an essential characteristic of the HP 1000. The system could be connected to various peripherals and terminals, increasing its functionality in a networked environment. This helped businesses leverage the power of shared resources, facilitating collaborative projects and data sharing across departments.

In conclusion, the HP 1000 series played a significant role in the evolution of computing technology. Its modular design, robust architecture, support for multiple programming languages, and networking capabilities made it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications. For over a decade, the HP 1000 series marked an important chapter in the history of computing, laying the groundwork for advancements in minicomputer technology that would follow.
