HP Color LaserJet 2605 User Manual

							
RGB Color
The RGB Color  option determines how colors are rendered.
● Select  Default (sRGB)  for most printing needs. This setting instructs the printer to interpret
RGB color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web
Organization.
● Select 
AdobeRGB  for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. For
example, some digital cameras capture images in AdobeRGB, and documents that are
produced with Adobe PhotoShop use the AdobeRGB color space. When printing from a
professional software program that uses AdobeRGB, it is important that you turn off the color
management in the software program and allow the printer software to manage the color space.
● Photo Image
 interprets the RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital mini-
lab. It is designed to render the deeper, more saturated colors differently than Default mode.
Use this setting for printing photos.
● Device
 sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs properly
when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working or
in the operating system.
● Vivid
 instructs the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects
are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics.
Neutral Grays
The  Neutral Grays  setting determines the method for creating gray colors that are used in text,
graphics, and photographs.
● Black Only
 generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This option
guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast.
● 4-Color  generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner. This option produces
smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible
black.

Changing print cartridges
When a print cartridge approaches the end of useful life, the control panel displays a message
recommending that you order a replacement. The printer can continue to print using the current print
cartridge until the control panel displays a message instructing you to replace the cartridge.
The printer uses four colors and has a different print cartridge for each color: black (K), cyan (C),
magenta (M), and yellow (Y).
Replace a print cartridge when the printer control panel displays one of the following messages:
Replace yellow cartridge, Replace magenta cartridge , Replace cyan cartridge , Replace black
cartridge . The control panel display also indicates the color that should be replaced (unless a
genuine HP cartridge is not currently installed).
To change the print cartridge
1. Open the front door.
CAUTION Do not place anything on the transfer belt (ETB), which is located on
the inside of the front door.
2. Remove the used print cartridge from the printer.
