Tell Me About Hardware Error Information 
When the hardware error icon is flashing, the six icons that normally display the 
amount of ink in the ink cartridges are used instead to give more information 
about the hardware error.
When the hardware error icon flashes, make a note of the pattern of squares 
displayed in the ink cartridge icons, including any squares that are flashing, and 
then press the Power key.
See “The Problem is there is a Hardware Error” on page 36.
If the problem persists, run the HP Designjet System Maintenance utility, as 
described in “How Do I Use HP Designjet System Maintenance?” on page 22. 
You will need the information from the ink cartridge icons that you noted 
previously.

EnglishTell Me About Color Calibration
Your printer is designed to give prints of an excellent quality. To ensure that 
color consistency between prints is maintained, you will need to perform a color 
calibration at various times. 
Color calibration improves color consistency between prints, and from one 
printer to another. The printer calibrates color by printing a calibration strip 
and then scanning the strip with a built-in optical sensor. The printer will then 
calculate the color correction required, which is then applied to all subsequent 
prints. Color calibration must be performed whenever a printhead is replaced 
and for each newly introduced paper type that has not previously been 
calibrated for the current set of printheads. 
After you have done the calibration, the calibration data is stored in your printer 
and is used the next time you print with the same type of paper loaded and the 
same print quality selected.
You must perform the color calibration procedure... 
 When you install one or more new printheads.
 
 When you use a new paper type for the first time. 
 Whenever environmental conditions change (for example, temperature or 
humidity). 
 Whenever you note a deterioration in the quality of prints. 
Depending on the amount of use made of the printer, we recommend that you 
recalibrate it every two weeks or so.
To perform a color calibration, refer to “How Do I Perform a Color Calibration?” 
on page 3.
Important:Different color calibrations apply for the default printer driver 
(RGB) and for the optional HP RIP (CMYK). If you are using a 
RIP, to perform a color calibration refer to the documentation 
for your RIP.
For downloadable tips and guidelines on color management specifically for the 
application you use, go to the HP Designjet Online web site and see the 
Technical documents.
