Six-color ink sets Four-color ink sets | HP 0706124 REV B specs

Selecting a Print Mode Before installing ink, report to the printer how you will use the ink you will install (the “print mode”). This is necessary because although the printer can detect which inks are installed, a given ink set may be usable in several different modes.

For example, consider an installation of two six-color (C2M2YK) sets of ink. By changing the color map selected at the control panel, and without moving or removing any of the ink reser- voirs or printheads, these twelve inks may be used as:

◆2 six-color ink sets

◆1 six-color ink set

◆2 four-color ink sets

◆1 four-color ink set

See “Switching Between Ink Sets” on page 3-10 for further details.

To configure the print mode:

1.From the Front Page screen on the control panel, press the Print Mode key.

The control panel displays the Current Selection screen. This shows the current settings for the options you are about to specify.

2.Press the (Proceed) key.
