2 Personalizing the printer

Turn printer on and off

TIP: The printer can be left powered on without wasting energy. Leaving it on

improves response time and overall system reliability. When the printer has not been used for a certain period of time (the default time is determined by Energy Star), it saves power by going into sleep mode. However, any interaction with the printer's front-panel display returns it to active mode, and it can resume printing immediately. To change the sleep mode time, see Using your printer.

NOTE: In sleep mode, the printer performs maintenance service to the printheads

from time to time. This avoids long preparation times after long idle periods. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to leave the printer powered on or in sleep mode to avoid wasting ink and time.

The printer has three levels of power consumption.

Plugged in: the power cord is plugged into the back of the printer

●

Switched on: the switch at the back of the printer is in the on position

●

Powered on: the Power key on the front panel shows a green light

●

If you wish to turn the printer on or off or reset the printer, the normal and recommended method is to use the Power key on the front panel.

Personal settings

ENWW

However, if you plan to store the printer indefinitely or the Power key does not seem to work, you are recommended to power it off using the Power key, and then also switch off the power switch at the rear.

Turn printer on and off

To turn it back on, use the power switch at the rear. When the printer is powered back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize and

check and prepare the printheads. Preparing the printheads takes about one minute and 15 seconds. However, if the printer has been off for six weeks or more, preparing the printheads could take up to an hour.

Access the HP Printer Utility

The HP Printer Utility enables you to manage your printer from a computer with a USB connection or TCP/IP.

Under Windows, start the the HP Printer Utility from your desktop shortcut or

●

from Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > HP Printer Utility > HP

Personal settings

Printer Utility. This launches the HP Printer Utility showing the printers

installed in the Printers and Faxes window. Under Mac OS, launch the HP Printer Utility from your dock shortcut or by

●

selecting STARTUP_DISK > Library > Printers > hp > Utilities > HP Printer Utility. This launches the HP Printer Utility Printer Selector showing the

printers installed in the Printer Setup Utility (Mac OS X 10.4) or Print & Fax (Mac OS X 10.5 or later).

Select your printer and click Select. This launches the HP Printer Utility.

If you have followed these instructions but failed to get through to the HP Printer Utility, see Using your printer.

Access the Embedded Web Server

The Embedded Web Server enables you to manage your printer remotely using an ordinary Web browser running on any computer.

NOTE: To use the Embedded Web Server, you must have a TCP/IP connection

to your printer.

The following browsers are known to be compatible with the Embedded Web Server:

3 Paper handling

Load a roll onto the spindle

CAUTION: Ensure the sheet tray is closed.

1. Remove the right-hand end of the spindle from the printer, then the other end.

WARNING! Do not insert your fingers into the spindle supports during the

removal process.

Paper handling

2. The spindle has a stop at each end to keep the roll in position. The blue stop

can be removed to mount a new roll; it slides along the spindle to hold rolls of different widths. Remove the blue paper stop from the end of the spindle.

8 Chapter 3 Paper handling ENWW

3. If your roll has a three-inch cardboard core, ensure that the core adaptors

supplied with the printer have been installed.

4. If the roll is long, rest the spindle horizontally on a table and load the roll on

the table.

TIP: You may need two people to handle a large roll.

5. Slide the new roll onto the spindle. Make sure the paper type is oriented as

shown. If it is not, remove the roll, turn it 180 degrees and slide it back on to the spindle. There are labels on the spindle showing the correct orientation.

NOTE: From the back of the printer, the blue stop is fitted onto the right-hand

end of the spindle.

Ensure both ends of the roll are as close to the spindle stops as possible.

6. Put the blue paper stop onto the open end of the spindle, and push it towards

the end of the roll.

ENWW

7. Ensure the blue paper stop is pushed in as far as it goes, until both ends are

against the stops.

If you are a regular user of different paper types, you can change rolls more quickly if you preload rolls of different paper types on different spindles. Extra spindles are available for purchase, see

Accessories on page 29.

Load a roll onto the spindle

Paper handling

Load a roll into the printer

There are two ways to load a roll. The easy loading procedure is recommended.

NOTE: To start these procedures you must have a roll loaded on the spindle.

Paper handling

3. With both hands, push the spindle into both roll holders at the same time. The

spindle snaps into place.

10 Chapter 3 Paper handling ENWW

4. If the edge of the roll is torn (sometimes due to tape used to hold the end of

the roll) or not straight, pull the paper slightly beyond the cutting groove and use a cutter to cut a straight edge.

TIP: Cut the paper as straight as possible, as uneven paper does not load

correctly.

5. Insert the edge of the paper into the feeder.

CAUTION: Do not push your fingers inside the printer's paper path.

ENWW

6. Roll the spindle into the feeder until you feel resistance. The printer detects

the paper and feeds it automatically into the printer.

Select print quality

The printer has various print-quality options because best-quality printing requires some loss of speed, while fast printing implies some reduction in print quality.

Therefore, the standard print-quality selector is a slider that allows you to choose between quality and speed.

Alternatively, you can select from the custom options: Best, Normal and Fast. There are also three supplementary custom options that may have an effect on print quality: Maximum detail, More passes and Gloss enhancer. See Using your printer.

Color calibration enables your printer to produce consistent colors with the particular printheads, inks and paper type that you are using, and under your particular environmental conditions. After color calibration, you can expect to get identical prints from any two different printers situated in different geographical locations.

Calibration should be done in any of the following circumstances:

Whenever a printhead is replaced

●

Whenever a new paper type is introduced that has not yet been calibrated with

●

the current set of printheads Whenever a certain amount of printing has been done since the last calibration

●

Whenever the printer has been turned off for a long period of time

●

Whenever the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) change

●

significantly

The printer driver usually reminds you with an alert whenever you need to perform color calibration, unless you have disabled the alerts. However, there will be no alert if the environmental conditions change.

You should calibrate a paper type before creating its color profile; however, you can later recalibrate without needing to recreate the color profile.

You can turn off color calibration from the front panel: select the Image Quality

Maintenance menu icon case, the printer will use a default calibration set in the factory for all paper types. If you later turn color calibration back on, it will still remember any calibrations that you performed earlier.

24 Chapter 5 Color management ENWW

, then set Enable color calibration to OFF. In this

Check calibration status

You can check the color calibration status of the currently loaded paper at any time by pressing the View loaded paper key on the front panel. The status may be one of the following:

PENDING: the paper has not been calibrated.

●

NOTE: Whenever you update the printer's firmware, the color calibration

status of all papers is reset to PENDING. See

on page 27.

OBSOLETE: the paper has been calibrated, but the calibration is now out of

●

date for one of the reasons mentioned above, and should be repeated. OK: the paper has been calibrated, and the calibration is up to date.

●

N/A: this paper cannot be calibrated. The following paper types cannot be

●

calibrated: plain paper, transparent materials, and textured glossy paper (such as HP Collector Satin Canvas). They can, however, be profiled.

Calibrate

You can start color calibration in the following ways:

From the printer driver alert that recommends calibration.

●

From the HP Color Center: select Paper Preset Management > Calibrate

●

Paper.

●

From the front panel: select the Image Quality Maintenance menu icon then Calibrate color.

The calibration process is fully automatic and can be performed unattended after you have loaded paper of the type you wish to calibrate—which should be A4, Letter or any larger size.

Update the firmware

Color management

ENWW

Color calibration

Color management

The process takes about 8–10 minutes and consists of the following steps.

1. A calibration test chart is printed, which contains patches of each ink used in

your printer.

2. The chart is allowed to dry for a period of time that depends on the paper type,

so that the colors have time to stabilize.

3. The chart is scanned and measured using the HP Embedded

Spectrophotometer.

4. From the measurements made by the spectrophotometer, the printer

calculates the necessary correction factors to apply for consistent color printing on that paper type. It also calculates the maximum amount of each ink that can be applied to the paper.

TIP: If color calibration fails, check whether a color is missing from the chart. A

missing color may be caused by a printhead problem: see Using your printer.

NOTE: Matte black is not used on glossy or satin papers, so that column of the

chart is not printed when calibrating those paper types.

6 Maintaining the printer

Clean the exterior of the printer

Clean the outside of the printer and all other parts of the printer that you regularly touch as part of normal operation with a damp sponge or a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner such as non-abrasive liquid soap.

WARNING! To avoid an electric shock, make sure that the printer is turned off

and unplugged before you clean it. Do not let water get inside the printer.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the printer.

Maintain the ink cartridges

During the normal lifetime of a cartridge, no specific maintenance is required. However, in order to maintain the best print quality, replace a cartridge when it reaches its expiration date. The printer's front panel notifies you when any cartridge reaches its expiration date.

You can also check a cartridge's expiration date at any time: see Using your printer.

Update the firmware

The printer's various functions are controlled by software that resides in the printer, otherwise known as firmware.

From time to time firmware updates will be available from Hewlett-Packard. These updates increase the printer's functionality and enhance its features.

Firmware updates can be downloaded from the Internet and installed in your printer in the following ways; you can choose whichever you find most convenient.

Using the HP Printer Utility for Windows, select your printer, the Support tab

●

and then Firmware Update. Using the HP Printer Utility for Mac OS, select Firmware Update in the

●

Support group. Using your printer's Embedded Web Server, select the Setup tab and then

●

Firmware update.

In each case, follow the instructions on your screen to download the firmware file and store it on your hard disk. Then select the downloaded file and click Update.

Printer maintenance

ENWW

Clean the exterior of the printer

If you experience very slow progress while uploading the firmware file to the printer, the reason could be that you are using a proxy server. In that case, try bypassing the proxy server and accessing the Embedded Web Server directly.

In Internet Explorer 6 for Windows, go to Tools > Internet Options >

●

Connections > LAN Settings, and check the Bypass proxy server for local addresses box. Alternatively, for more precise control, click the Advanced

button and add the printer's IP address to the list of exceptions, for which the proxy server is not used.

In Safari for Mac OS, go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and click the

●

Proxies: Change Settings button. Add the printer's IP address or its domain

name to the list of exceptions, for which the proxy server is not used.

The firmware includes a set of the most commonly used paper presets. Extra paper presets can be downloaded separately; see Using your printer.

General advice

When you have any print-quality problem:

To achieve the best performance from your printer, use only genuine

●

manufacturer's supplies and accessories, whose reliability and performance have been thoroughly tested to give trouble-free performance and best-quality prints. For details of recommended papers, see

Make sure that the paper type selected in the front panel is the same as the

●

paper type loaded into the printer. To check this, use the View loaded paper key on the front panel. At the same time, check that the paper type has been calibrated. Also make sure that the paper type selected in your software is the same as the paper type loaded into the printer.

CAUTION: If you have the wrong paper type selected, you could experience

poor print quality and incorrect colors, and perhaps even damage to the printheads.

Check that you are using the most appropriate print-quality settings for your

●

purposes (see you have moved the print-quality slider to the 'Speed' end of the scale, or set the custom quality level to Fast.

Check that your environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) are in the

●

recommended range. See Using your printer. Check that your ink cartridges and printheads have not passed their expiration

●

dates: see Avoid touching the paper while printing is in progress.

1. Check that the paper type you have loaded corresponds to the paper type

selected in the front panel and in your software. To check on the front panel, use the View loaded paper key.

2. Check that you are using appropriate print-quality settings for your purposes

(see

Printing on page 19). In some cases, you can overcome a print-quality

problem merely by selecting a higher print-quality level. For instance, if you have set the Print Quality slider to Speed, try setting it to Quality; if you have already set it to Quality, try selecting custom options and then More Passes. If you change the print-quality settings, you may wish to reprint your job at this point in case the problem has been solved.

3. Print the Image Diagnostics Print. See Using your printer.

4. If the printheads are working correctly, go to the front panel and press the View

Colors are inaccurate

If the colors of your print do not match your expectations, try the following:

1. Check that the paper type you have loaded corresponds to the paper type

selected in the front panel and in your software. To check on the front panel, use the View loaded paper key. At the same time, check the color calibration status. If the status is PENDING or OBSOLETE, you should perform color calibration: see you may wish to reprint your job in case the problem has been solved.

2. Check that you are printing on the correct side of the paper.

3. Check that you are using appropriate print-quality settings (see

on page 19). If you have selected the Speed or Fast options, you may not get

the most accurate colors. If you change the print-quality settings, you may wish to reprint your job at this point in case the problem has been solved.

4. If you are using application-managed colors, check that the color profile you

are using corresponds to the selected paper type. If you have doubts about which color settings to use, see to create a color profile, see Using your printer.

5. If you select application-managed colors in your application and printer-

managed colors in the printer driver, your results will be wrong. You should manage colors in the application or in the printer, but not in both.

6. If the problem consists of color differences between your print and your

monitor, please follow the instructions in the “How to calibrate your monitor” section of the HP Color Center. At this point, you may wish to reprint your job in case the problem has been solved.

7. Print the Image Diagnostics Print. See Using your printer.

If the problem persists despite all the above actions, contact your customer service representative for further support.

Print-quality issues

If you have to use such files, try to ensure that the EPS, PDF or grayscale images are already in the same color space that you intend to use later on in Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. For instance, if your final goal is to print the job in a press that follows the SWOP standard, convert the image into SWOP when you create it.

The image is clipped

Clipping normally indicates a discrepancy between the actual printable area on the loaded paper and the printable area as understood by your software. You can often identify this kind of problem before printing by previewing your print (see

a print on page 22).

Check the actual printable area for the paper size you have loaded.

●

printable area = paper size – margins Check what your software understands to be the printable area (which it may

●

call "printing area" or "imageable area"). For example, some software applications assume standard printable areas that are larger than those used in this printer.

If you have defined a custom page size with very narrow margins, the printer

●

may impose its own minimal margins, clipping your image slightly. You may want to consider using a larger paper size, or borderless printing (see

margins options on page 21).

If your image contains its own margins, you may be able to print it successfully

●

by using the Clip Contents by Margins option (see

on page 21).

If you are trying to print a very long image on a roll, check that your software

●

is capable of printing an image of that size. You may have asked to rotate the page from portrait to landscape on a paper

●

size that is not wide enough. If necessary, reduce the size of the image or document in your software

●

application, so it fits between the margins.

There is another possible explanation for a clipped image. Some applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW, use an internal 16-bit coordinate system which means that they cannot handle an image of more than 32,768 pixels.

NOTE: An image 32,768 pixels long would print at a length of 54.61 in or 1.39 m

if you select Best or Quality in the driver, 109.23 in or 2.78 m if you select Fast, Normal or Speed in the driver.

38 Chapter 9 Troubleshooting print-quality issues ENWW

If you try to print an image larger than this from these applications, the bottom of the image may be clipped. To print the whole image, try these suggestions:

Try using the PostScript printer driver (Z3200ps only) to print your job, if you

have not already tried it. The Windows PCL3 driver dialog includes an option called Max. application

resolution, which enables you to print successfully in this situation. You will not normally need to change the default setting, which is Auto. However, you can find the option in the Advanced tab, under Document Options > Printer Features.
