3.7 Ink-backup mode

In the ink-backup mode, the printer operates by using only one print cartridge. The ink back-up mode is initiated when a print cartridge is removed from the print cartridge cradle.

To remove a print cartridge, see the print cartridge installation page.

Ink-backup mode output

Printing in ink-backup mode slows the printer and affects the quality of printed documents.

Installed print cartridge		Result
Black print cartridge.		Colors are printed as grayscale.
Tri-color print cartridge.		Colors print but black is grayed and is not a true black.
Photo print cartridge.		Colors are printed as grayscale.

Gray photo print cartridge. Colors are printed as grayscale.

Note: It is recommended that you do not use the photo print cartridge or the gray photo print cartridge for ink-backup mode.

Exiting ink-backup mode

Install two print cartridges in the printer to exit the ink-backup mode. To install a print cartridge, see the print cartridge installation page.

3.8 Automatic Paper-Type Sensor

The Automatic Paper-Type Sensor automatically selects the appropriate print settings for the media that is being printed on, particularly HP media.

When the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor is engaged, the printer scans the first page of a document with a red optical sensor light to determine the best paper-type setting. After the printer determines the paper-type setting, the page is printed.

Do not place the printer in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can interfere with the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor.

To use the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor, see the paper-type selection page.
