HP ColorSphere toner
HP designs the print system (printer, print cartridges, toner, and paper) to work together to optimize print
quality, product reliability, and user productivity. Original HP print cartridges contain HP ColorSphere
toner that is specifically matched to your printer so that it will produce a wide range of brilliant colors.
This helps you create professional looking documents that contain sharp, clear text and graphics and
realistic printed photos.
HP ColorSphere toner produces print-quality consistency and intensity you can depend on across a
wide range of papers That means you can produce documents that help you make the right impression.

and weights) are designed for the way you work.
HP ImageREt 3600
ImageREt 3600 provides 3600 dots-per-inch (dpi) color laser-class quality through a multi-level printing
process. This process precisely controls color by combining up to four colors within a single dot and by
varying the amount of toner in a given area. ImageREt 3600 has been improved for this product. The
improvements offer trapping technologies, greater control over dot placement, and more precise control
of toner quality in a dot. These new technologies, coupled with HPs multi-level printing process, result
in a 600 x 600 dpi printer that provides 3600-dpi color laser-class quality with millions of smooth colors.
Media selection
For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate media type from the software printer menu
or from the printer driver.
Color options
Color options automatically provide optimal color output. These options use object tagging, which
provides optimal color and halftone settings for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page.
The printer driver determines which objects appear on a page and uses halftone and color settings that
provide the best print quality for each object.
In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the printer
driver.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft developed as a
common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices
(printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems,
the World Wide Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the typical Windows
monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE:Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room lighting can affect the appearance
of colors on your screen. For more information, see 
Match colors on page 88.
90 Chapter 10   Color for Windows ENWW
 
						

							The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop®, CorelDRAW®, Microsoft Office, and many other programs
use sRGB to communicate color. Because it is the default color space in Microsoft operating systems,
sRGB has been adopted broadly. When programs and devices use sRGB to exchange color information,
typical users experience greatly improved color matching.
The sRGB standard improves your ability to match colors between the product, the computer monitor,
and other input devices automatically, and eliminates the need to become a color expert.

Scan to a memory card
This feature allows you to scan a document and save it to an inserted memory card.
Scan Details
You can scan from both the ADF and flatbed. The device will look for the presence of paper in the ADF.
If there is paper, then the ADF is used. Otherwise the flatbed is scanned. Only single-page scanning is
supported from the flatbed.
The following scan settings used are for a default 300dpi scan:
●Resolution: 300dpi
●Width: 2550
●Height: 3500
●Quality: ImagePipeNormalQuality
●Compression: JPEG compression
Image File Details
The scanned file is saved as a .jpg image. A separate file is created for each page scanned.
Scanned images are saved to a directory named HP at the root level of the memory
card.
The first scanned file is named HP0001.jpg. Each subsequent file name is incremented by one.
The date and time linked to the newly created file will match the date and time on the device when the
scan occurred. Therefore, the date and time must be set correctly in order for the date and time of the
file to be correct.
If the scan fails for any reason (ADF jam, cancel, etc…) the partial file is removed from the memory
card. However, if the memory card is removed while writing, a partial file may still exist on the card.
Error Conditions
Scanner Failures
If the paper jams in the ADF, or the paper is mispicked in the ADF, or the ADF door is opened while
scanning, then the scan to card is stopped. The partial file is removed from the memory card. All scanned
pages that were previously scanned remain on the memory card.
Cancel scan
If the user presses cancel while scanning to card, then the scan is stopped, and the partial file removed.
All scanned pages that were previously scanned remain on the memory card.
