Cool Down Mode

Hi everyone! I have an HP Laserjet Color 100 MFP M175a...I bought it two months ago and until now I've printed many documents of excellent quality ...I changed the toner and it has continued to print fine, until today ...after printing 100 page b/w and color, the display sign Printing Cool Down Mode...One page every 10 minutes...it's impossible to continue..Please, someone can help me...
Thank You!

Hi Notorius,
This is normal when you are printing this many pages at one seating. The fuser which bonds the toner to the paper needs to have a chance to cool down so that it doesn't over heat and cause damage to the paper or printer.
Printing... Cool-down mode - The product is too hot to continue printing at normal speed. The product will pause longer between printed pages until it cools down.
Overheating occurs when the product lacks air ventilation or when it prints continuously for a long period of time. To prevent overheating, place the product in a well-ventilated area, and divide very large print jobs into smaller print jobs.
Please refer to the document below for more details.

ALWAYS Display Printing.... Cool-Down mode

I need that private-message solution, too. My printer is on a table, set well away (8 inches) from the wall, and is plugged directly to the AC outlet. The paper is Office Max Laser Paper, 96 bright, 24 lb., 8 1/2 X 11. One page prints, then the printer stops and the "Printing. . . Cool-down mode" message appears on the panel; that message stays on the screen for about 3-5 minutes, then another page prints, and the cycle continues. "HP Update" reports "No new updates available." This just started today, right in the midst of my printing some needed material. Please help!

Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to reply to my plea.
     A confession: I found that I did not need to perform the NVRAM Programming Reset on my printer. Since, with the "Printing . . . Cool-down mode" pauses, the printer was taking so long to print each page, I left it working to go off and do some other chores. While I was away, the paper ran out, and naturally the printer stopped printing. By the time I got back and loaded more paper, quite a bit of time had passed. When I resumed the printing process, the printer worked fine.
     My guess: between the time the paper ran out and my starting it again, the printer had cooled enough that it no longer had to go into "cool-down mode" after each page. I used the printer again this morning, and it worked perfectly.
     So my suggestion to others who have this problem: try shutting down the printer for 15-20 minutes. When you turn it back on, it just may work correctly again.

HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw going cool down mood after printing every pages.

I have bought Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw before only 3days. From the very begining It says printing.... cooldown mood, and take a long paus. This issue occures after printing each page. I am using HP Toners. And my directly connected with wall socket(Electric). Please help me. It is urgent for me. Thanks in advance.

Afternoon , I found some information about the cool-down mode on your Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw. The product is too hot to continue printing at normal speed.
The product will pause longer between printed pages until it cools down.
Overheating occurs when the product lacks air ventilation or when it prints continuously for a long period of time. To prevent overheating, place the product in a well-ventilated area, and divide very large print jobs into smaller print jobs.Other than using it in a well ventilated room, you could see if there are any firmware updates available. You can click on this link to Getting Printer Updates for HP LaserJet Pro. If the issue continues, I would Contact HP Support for further assistance. Fill in the model number and the form to receive a case number. You can view all other ways of contacting HP from their list of Support Options. Thanks,

Phone stuck in cool down mode for 24 hrs and will not charge tried the reboot and got to the first menu and seleceted reboot and then the screen goes black and I cannot get the menu back so I cannot do the data reboot or the factory reset what can I do next

This will clear the cache partition on your phone and give you a clean reset to stop the cool down mode. This will not delete any information from your device.
Do the steps below listed below if you have not already tried this
1. Power up the phone by pressing the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .
2. The device will enumerate with different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL and VOL UP Key to SELECT
4. Select Recovery

6. Press the VOL UP and VOL DOWN Key together at this screen
7. The device will display BLUE Text on a Black background .
8. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll DOWN and the POWER Key to SELECT the option desired .
9. In this case , press the VOL DOWN key till the cache partition wipe is selected and press the POWER key to confirm the selection .
10. Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and press the POWER key to CONFIRM .
11. The device will then start performing the partition wipe
12. Once the Formatting is complete , press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT
13. The message rebooting is displayed on the phone.
14. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .
If you're still having the issue after this the next troubleshooting I can suggest is to perform factory reset. You can follow the instructions on how to reset your phone here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp....

Mac OS X 10.5 Printer Drop-down sheet problem. Copies set to 0 by default?

Whenever I go to print something (from any app), the drop-down print sheet always has "Copies" set to "0" instead of "1".
How did this happen and how can I set the default Copies back to 1 like it should be?

Hi there,
I would be inclined to try a Reset printing system.
How to Reset the Printing System
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your printer queues but not your printers drivers. So you will need to add your printer queues again.

Laserjet pro MFP M176n keeps rebooting

Hi,
I have a Color laserjet Pro MFP M176n printer. It ha snot been used for sometime.2 weeks ago when I printed something it had constant paper jam. I open the front door to remove the jam problem was not solved, I removed the ink cartridge to see if there was any piece of paper .Switch the apparatus off and when i switch it on again it just wnt switch on and now it just keep rebooting and wont display anything.
I would liek to know how to solve this problem or if the printer has to be thrown out.
Regards

Hi @widadr,
I see that you are experiencing issues with the printer constantly rebooting. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Temporarily disconnect any cables from the printer, except the power cord, just to make sure there isn't any interference for the next few steps.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
Try and update the printer's firmware by a USB connection if the issue persists. Software and Drivers.
I will send you another step to try in a private message.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw Print missing/faded down centre of every page

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw. Operating on Windows 7 from my laptop wirelessly. Just bought this new a few day's ago and each page of print has about 20mm wide streak missing print running down the centre. what can I do to correct this problem? I have tried printing a cleaning page a couple of times and calibrating color from the Print Quality Menu also a couple of times but this has made no difference. I'm using a Premium quality paper for use in laserjet printer's. Could someone please advise me what I can do. Thanks in anticipation.
This question was solved.

Hi Watcher35,
I see that the new Laserjet Pro 100 MFP M175NW is missing print down the center of the pages, you have ran cleaning and color calibration but the issue is not resolved.
Would this be an accurate example of the issue: but with the "Bb" would be completely missing?
This HP document: Resolving Print Quality Issues may take you though some of the same steps you have already done, I suggest not skipping any steps.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here.

Hello @ Averus89,
Welcome to the HP forum. 
I understand you have done quite a lot to resolve your M176n and its connection to the ePrint service. 
I would like to help you with this issue. 
If the printer is not printing the web services info sheet, or allowing you to add it to HP Connected, I
would set a manual DNS. 
I wont go into great detail about setting this up. From your post, I feel you know your way around the printer and your network. If I am mistaken, let me know. I will go into detail. 
The DNS to try is:
Primary: 209.244.0.3
Secondary: 209.244.0.4
Set the DNS then try printing the web services info page again.
Let me know if this helps.

Problem with computing Font width while printing in Landscape mode

I have an application which prints a table and fills it with some text. I render it on a JComponent using the drawString(theStr, xPos, yPos) and the drawLine(rigtX, topY, rigtX, botY) methods in Graphics2D object. I want to take print-out of the table and also store the image of the table in, say, jpeg format. The print can be in Landscape or Portrait format depending on the size of the JComponent, which the user sets depending on the table size and the font size.
I have a paintTable( ) method which contains all the drawString( ) and drawLine( ) methods. This method is called from the paint( ) method of the JComponent to achieve normal rendering. The same method is called to get a BufferedImage of the Table. The same method is further called from the implementation of print( ) method from the Printable interface.
In the paintTable( ) method, I compute the pixel coordinates of the table grid lines and the texts positions in the tables depending on the font width and height obtained as shown below:
        // Set the Font
        Font theFont = graphics.getFont();
        theFont = theFont.deriveFont((float)TableFontSize); // TableFontSize is an int of value 8,9,10 etc.
        graphics.setFont(theFont);
        // Get the Font Size
        FontRenderContext frc = graphics.getFontRenderContext();
        float width = ((Rectangle2D.Float)theFont.getMaxCharBounds(frc)).width;
        float height = ((Rectangle2D.Float)theFont.getMaxCharBounds(frc)).height;
       System.out.println("FONT WIDTH HEIGHT [" + width + "," + height + "] ");I am getting the following value of width and height when the above print statement is executed with a value of 9 for TableFontSize. FONT WIDTH HEIGHT [18.0,11.3203125]
The problem I face is :
While Printing in Landscape mode the value of the 'width' variable printed as given above is becoming negative. Kindly see the values: FONT WIDTH HEIGHT [-9.37793,11.3203125]. This is happening ONLY DURING PRINTING IN LANDSCAPE MODE. This makes my calculation of table grid line coordinates and text positions completely wrong and the table goes out of place.
Kindly note that, there is no problem during normal rendering and BuffereredImage creation and also while printing in Portrait mode. The problem happens irrespective of Linux or Windows. The value of 'height' is always correct.
Kindly let me know: If the method I use to get the 'width' and 'height' is correct ? Is there any better way which will work fine in all platforms under all circumstances.
Kindly help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards
