NOTE: Printing with one print cartridge might be slower and the print quality might

be affected. It is recommended to print with both print cartridges. For borderless printing, the tri-color print cartridge must be installed.

Calibrate color

If you are not satisfied with the appearance of colors, you can calibrate the colors manually to ensure the best print quality.

NOTE: Calibrate the color only when the tri-color and photo print cartridges are installed together. The photo print cartridge is available for purchase as an optional accessory. For more information, see HP supplies and accessories.

NOTE: If you are using a Pocket PC or Palm OS device, you can calibrate the color using the Toolbox software for PDAs. For more information, see Toolbox software for PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS).

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 might also produce incorrect colors.

Toolbox (Windows): Open the Toolbox. For more information, see Toolbox (Windows). Click the Printer Services tab, and then click Calibrate Color and follow the onscreen instructions.

HP Printer Utility (Mac OS): Open the HP Printer Utility. For more information, see HP Printer Utility (Mac OS). Click Calibrate Color and follow the onscreen instructions.

Maintain the device

The device does not require scheduled maintenance, except for replacing the ink service module. For more information, see Replace the ink service module. You should attempt, however, to keep the device free of dust and debris. This cleaning
