ADJUST PAPER TYPES
●  — List of
paper types  Sometimes you may need to adjust the product for
a particular paper type or environment in order to
improve print quality.
To override the factory-default print-mode settings
for a specific paper type, select it and apply any of
the three adjustments described below.
In addition, you can map non-HP media types to a
different print mode, although this is not
recommended.
 BEST GLOSS MODEOFF
 (default)
ONTurn this setting  ON to maintain stable gloss mode
performance. This setting decreases the print
speed.
  RESISTANCE MODE NORMAL (default)
UP
DOWN NORMAL
 is the default setting.
The  UP setting raises the se condary transfer bias.
Use this setting if you are seeing faded images or
scattered toner on certain paper types. These
problems might be worse on the second side of a
printed duplex page. These problems occur more
often in high-temperature and high-humidity
environments, or with coated paper.
Use the  DOWN setting if you are using light weight
or thin media in a low-temperature and low-
humidity environment and you are experiencing
highly mottled, distorted, or grainy images, or
images with toner miss ing. This setting reduces
the secondary transfer bias.

 DISCHARGE MODENORMAL (default)
ONSelect  ON if you are seeing clumps of toner or
toner spatter on print jobs. These problems can
occur in low-temperature and low-humidity
environments, with lightweight or thin paper. The
problems might happen more frequently with
duplex jobs.

TRANSPARENCY
MODE
Allows you to change the print mode for non-HP
paper types, which can affect print quality.
When AUTO SENSE MODE  is enabled, the

RESTORE MODES  Use this feature to return all paper type-mode
settings to the factory-default settings.
OPTIMIZEPAPER CURLNORMAL  (default)
REDUCEDTo help reduce paper curl, set this option to
REDUCED. This decreases full speed to 10 PPM
(instead of 40 ppm) and 3/4 speed to 7.5 ppm
(instead of 30 ppm).
 PRE-ROTATIONOFF  (default)
ONSet this feature to  ON if horizontal streaks appear
on pages. Using this feature increases the warm-
up time for the product.
 FUSER TEMPNORMAL  (default)
ALTERNATE 1
ALTERNATE 2
ALTERNATE 3Reduces the temperature of the fuser to prevent a
hot offset.
If you are seeing a faint image of the page repeated
at the bottom of the page or on the following page,
you should first make sure the Paper Type and
Print Mode settings are correct for the type of
paper you are using. If you continue to see ghost
images on your print jobs, set the Fuser Temp
feature to one of the Alternate settings. Try the
Alternate 1 setting first and see if it solves the
problem. If you continue to see the problem, try
Alternate 2 and then Alternate 3. With the Alternate
2 and Alternate 3 settings you may see an extra
delay between jobs.
 TRAY 1NORMAL  (default)
ALTERNATEIf you are seeing marks on  the back side of the
paper when printing from Tray 1, set the mode to
ALTERNATE . This increases the frequency of the
cleaning cycle.
 GLOSS MODENORMAL  (default)
HIGHChosen when stable high gloss is required.
Set this feature to  HIGH for glossy print jobs, such
as photos, if you notice the gloss finish decreasing
after the first page is printed. This setting reduces
the performance for all paper types.
  LIGHT MEDIA AUTO  (default)

 CLEANING FREQUENCYNORMAL  (default)
ALTERNATESet this feature to  ALTERNATE if you are seeing
defects in the printed output that repeat at 38 mm
(1.5 inch) intervals. This feature increases the
frequency at which the C roller is cleaned. Setting
this feature to Alternate might also reduce printing
speed and increase the frequency of consumable
replacement.
 D-BLADE BIASNORMAL  (default)
ALTERNATESet this feature to  ALTERNATE if you are seeing
short white vertical lines in the printed output. The
Alternate setting might also cause dark spots in the
printed output, so be sure to test this setting on a
few print jobs.

ALTERNATETry setting this feature to  ALTERNATE if you are
seeing lengthwise toner streaks in your printed
output, especially in jobs with low toner coverage.

CALIBRATE
NEUTRALSCALIBRATION SOURCETRAY 1 
TRAY 2 
TRAY  This menu item affects the toner mixture in order
to optimize neutral colors for color print jobs. A
special sensor measures color on three specially
printed pages from a selected tray and adjusts the
color parameters. This corrects for too much or too
little cyan, magenta, yellow, or black toner, which
improves color consistency.
Choose the source tray, paper type, and paper
size for the calibration page.
To run calibration on different paper types, load the
desired paper type in a tray, select this menu item,
and then specify the loaded tray.
CALIBRATION TYPEThis item is available only if the selected tray type
is set to ANY TYPE.
CALIBRATION SIZEThis item is available only if the selected tray size
is set to ANY SIZE or ANY CUSTOM.
UNIT OF MEASUREINCHES
MILLIMETERSThe unit of measure to describe a custom paper
size. This item is available only if the selected
paper size is set to CUSTOM.
X DIMENSION The X dimension of the custom paper size. This
item is available only if the selected paper size is
set to CUSTOM.
Y DIMENSION The Y dimension of the custom paper size. This
item is available only if the selected paper size is
set to CUSTOM.
AUTO CALIBRATE
NEUTRALS ON
OFFThis menu item controls whether the CALIBRATE
NEUTRALS  process is performed automatically. If
you select  ON, the product performs the calibration
automatically whenever environmental conditions
indicate that it is required. Three calibration pages
are printed. You can recycle these pages when the
calibration is complete.
RESOLUTION Image REt 4800
(default)
1200x600 dpiSets the resolution at which the product prints. The
default value is Image REt 4800. Try the
1200x600 dpi setting to improve printing for
detailed line work or small text.
EDGE CONTROL   OFF
LIGHT
NORMAL (default)
MAXIMUM The Edge Control setting determines how edges
are rendered. Edge control has two components:
adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive
halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping
reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by
overlapping the edges of adj
acent objects slightly.
● OFF
 turns off both trapping and adaptive
halftoning.
● LIGHT
 sets trapping at a minimal level, and
adaptive halftoning is on.
