Accuracy Calibration

 

The printer is calibrated at the factory to ensure that it operates with

 

the greatest accuracy in normal environmental conditions. If the

 

printer is operated under significantly different conditions, it should

 

be recalibrated as explained here. The printer should also be

 

recalibrated if non-HP printing material is being used or if Image

 

Quality problems are being experienced for some other reason.

 

Before recalibrating the printer, the Image Quality print should

 

always be used to verify the appearance of any Image Quality

 

problems caused by media advance problems.

 

The Accuracy Calibration applies only to the media type

NOTE

 

currently selected in the front panel. Other media types will keep

 

their original media advance settings.

 

 

To perform the Accuracy Calibration:

1.At the printer’s front panel, choose the printer icon, then Utilities > Calibrations > Accuracy > Recalibrate > Create Pattern.

2.Once the Accuracy Calibration print is completed, choose the printer icon, then Utilities > Calibrations > Accuracy > Recalibrate > Measure Pattern. Then reload the print back into the printer.
