Changing printer control panel configuration settings
By using the printer control panel, you can make changes to general printer configuration default settings
such as tray size and type, sleep mode, printer personality (language), and jam recovery.
The printer control panel can also be accessed from a computer by using the Settings page of the
embedded Web server. The computer shows the same information that the control panel shows. For
more information, see
Using the embedded Web server.
CAUTION Configuration settings seldom need to be changed. Hewlett-Packard recommends
that only the system administrator change configuration settings.

Color/black mix
This item allows you to configure printer settings to optimize printer and cartridge performance for the
printing environment. If the printer is primarily used for black printing (over two-thirds of the pages are
black only), change the printer settings to MOSTLY BLACK PAGES. If the printer is primarily used for
color printing, change the printer settings to MOSTLY COLOR PAGES. If the printer is used for a mix
of black-only and color print jobs, it is recommended that you use the printer default of AUTO. To
determine the percentage of color pages, print a configuration page. See
Printer information pages to
learn how to print a configuration page. The configuration page shows the total number of pages printed
and the number of color pages printed. To determine the percentage of color pages printed, divide the
color page count by the total page count.
