Configuration Correction

Before attempting the image quality diagnostic procedures contained in this section it is important to first check that the printer is correctly configured to print what you want. Many problems concerned with image quality can be solved by correcting the way the printer is configured.

1.	To achieve the best performance from your printer, only use genuine HP accessories and supplies, whose
	reliability and performance have been thoroughly tested to give trouble-free performance and best-quality prints.
	For details of HP media, see Paper Types.
2.	Make sure that the Type of paper selected in the front panel is the same type of paper loaded into the printer. To
	check this go to the Roll or Sheet menu in the front panel and press Enter.
3.	To ensure the maximum print quality use HP certified media only. For details of HP media see Physical
	Characteristics of Paper Types. You can also look at the web page http://www.hp.com/go/designJet for the most up
	to date information.
4.	Make sure that the Print quality (Fast, Normal, Best) used for your printer is correct. This is set in the Print Setup
	dialog box of the printer driver or in the front panel from the Set-up menu. The printer driver setting overrides the
	front panel setting.
5.	Select Best print mode for maximum￿	print quality.
6.	For Non-HP drivers, set front panel media settings to match the media type loaded in the printer. The
	documentation that came with your software should provide information about media type/print quality settings.
7.	If your image quality problem is color accuracy related, go to Color Accuracy for further configuration help.
