Single-cartridge printing mode

If one of your print cartridges runs out of ink before you can replace it, you can still print with a single print cartridge.

Printing with one print cartridge may be slower, and colors will differ from those when both print cartridges are installed. It is recommended to install both print cartridges.

￿If you do not have a replacement black print cartridge available, you can remove the black print cartridge and print with only the tri-color print cartridge.

￿If you do not have a replacement tri-color print cartridge available, you can remove the tri-color print cartridge and print with only the black or photo print cartridge. Documents will print in grayscale.

￿If you do not have a replacement photo print cartridge available, you can remove the photo print cartridge and print with only the tri-color print cartridge.

Calibrating color

Calibrate the color only when the tri-color (HP No. 57) and photo (HP No. 58) print cartridges are installed together. The photo print cartridge is available for purchase as an optional accessory. See HP Supplies and Accessories.

If you are using a PDA, please connect to a Windows or Macintosh operating system and calibrate the color according to the instructions below.

Color calibration balances color tints on printed pages. It is only necessary if:

￿Printed colors have visibly shifted toward yellow, cyan or magenta.

￿There is a color tinge in the gray shades.

Low ink levels in the print cartridges may also produce incorrect colors.

For Windows

You can calibrate the color from the Toolbox or the printer driver.

1Load plain paper into the input tray. The process uses one sheet of paper.

2From the Toolbox click the Printer Services tab and then click Calibrate Color.

-or-

•Printing Preferences (Windows 2000 and Windows XP)

•Properties (Windows 98 and Windows Me)

•Document Defaults (Windows NT 4.0)
