6. Printing
The quality of your color printing depends partly on how the four inks
— black, cyan, yellow, and magenta — are placed on the printed
page. Your HP OfficeJet uses HP’s ColorSmart technology to intelli-
gently analyze your documents at the time of printing to provide the
best color output. ColorSmart identifies each element on a page —
text, simple graphics, or complex graphics such as photographic
images — and automatically applies the appropriate color settings to
each element during printing.
Printing in grayscale
If you want to economize on the use of the color print cartridge, or if
you want to print significantly faster, print draft copies of your color
documents in grayscale.
To print in grayscale, select the
Print in Grayscale
option in the
Setup tab.
Using the Advanced tab settings
The Help system recommends that aligning or cleaning the print car-
tridges may solve some printing problems. If this corrective action is
recommended for your particular problem, click the appropriate but-
ton in the
Print Cartridge Maintenance
area in the
Advanced
tab.
If you print from DOS programs that run under Windows, you may
need to change the
Paper Size
,
Character Set
, or
Form Feed Time-
out
settings in the
Advanced
tab.
For detailed information about each setting, click the
Help
button at
the bottom of the dialog box, then click the
Reference
tab.
