NOTE: When using HP Designjet 45XX, 40XX, or T11XX, you can only create
media profiles for paper types that are currently loaded in the printer. These
standard paper types are detected by the system and their names appear in the list
of media profiles. You can then select one of these and create a media profile for
it as described below. You can not change the names of the media profiles with
these printers.
When using Designjet 500, 800, 5X00, or 1000 you can create media profiles with
any name you want. The system prompts you to enter a name for the required
paper.
NOTE: You are required to create a media profile before you can copy and print.
You are also required to have at least one printer connected to the scanner before
you can copy and print. The printer can be connected to the scanner directly through
the panel PC, or through the local area network (LAN).
NOTE: To create a new media profile, you are required to have media loaded into

6. Define the scan quality and print-quality settings using the Quality dialog box.
Scan quality: Select one of the following scan quality settings:
●
Scan resolution: Manually set the scan resolution in dots per inch
◦
(dpi).
Auto: The system determines the best scan resolution based on the
◦
print quality (Fast, Normal, or Best) that you select. The resolution
setting (in dpi) is displayed next to the Auto checkbox (200 dpi in
the example above).
Descreen: The scanner scans with the optical resolution and relays
◦
the data to the system. The software then sets the optimal resolution
value.
NOTE: The Descreen setting gives the best results when
scanning raster images (non-vector images, such as .jpeg, .tiff,
and .pdf files), however the scanning speed is reduced.
Turbo: The Turbo setting increases the rate at which the paper is
◦
fed and reduces the amount of scanning data that is captured, which
means the scanning speed increases, but the image quality
decreases. To use the Turbo setting, first manually set the scan
resolution, and then select Turbo.

Black ink only: This setting is used to create true- and neutral-graytone
●
output from graytone image files.
NOTE: The use of this setting can result in output that is more grainy
than graytone output which was created with colored inks.
Optimize for drawing: This setting is recommended for text and
●
drawings.
NOTE: The use of this setting for documents which contain pictures can
result in reduced image quality.
Max detail: This setting is used for enhancing detailed graphics, such as
●
maps and certain CAD drawings.
NOTE: The use of this setting for documents which contain pictures can
result in reduced image quality.
