							4.In the Default Source Profiles you must set the default profiles for solid colors and images that
dont have embedded profiles. The following default profiles are recommended: RGB: Adobe
RGB 1998, CMYK: SWOP for the USA and Euroscale Coated v2 for the rest of the world. Also
select the rendering intent, which QuarkXPress uses for all conversions; if in doubt, select
Relative Colorimetric. See 
Set the rendering intent.
5.Check the box Color Manage RGB sources to RGB destinations in the RGB Default Source
Profiles and Color Manage CMYK sources to CMYK destinations in the CMYK Default
Source Profiles.
6.The Display Simulation tells QuarkXPress how the display simulation should behave:
●None means that it doesnt simulate anything on the display.
●Monitor Color Space means that it converts from the source profile to the display profile
for display only.
●Composite Output Color Space makes the display simulate a composite printer: that is, a
printer without separate plates for different colors, such as an inkjet printer.
●Separation Output Color Space makes the display simulate a separations printer: that is,
a printer with separate plates for different colors, such as a digital press.
You can select Monitor Color Space if you want to display only, or you can select the
Separation Output Color Space if you also want to see the simulation of the output device on
the monitor. You can simulate the final output with the printer (hard–proofing) and with the
monitor (soft-proofing ).
7.Open and retouch the document as you like.
8.Select File > Print > Setup > Printer Description, and select your printer.
9.Select File > Print > Profiles.
●Select the appropriate Separation Output Profile (emulation) and Composite Output Profile
(printer).
●Check the Composite Simulates Separation box, then Quark will perform the simulation.

							NOTEEach object in QuarkXpress has its own color management. The solid colors use the
color profile and rendering intent selected in the default source profiles for Solid Colors (RGB,
CMYK, or Hexachrome) of the Color Management Preferences dialog box. The imported
objects have their own assigned profile and rendering intent. QuarkXPress will use the
rendering intent assigned to the image for both conversions, from the image color space to the
simulation color space, and from the simulation color space to the printer color space.
Driver settings
The PostScript driver is the best choice for page-layout applications because it can color–manage
CMYK data, RGB data, or both simultaneously.
In the Image Quality panel, set Print Quality to Best.
In the Color Options panel, select Application Managed Colors and check the Automatic
PANTONE Calibration box. When the application performs color conversion to the printers color
space, the printer should accept these colors without changing them. Make sure you have selected
the right media profile in Composite Output in the Preferences dialog box.
Printer settings
Ensure that the Paper Type setting on the front panel corresponds to the paper you intend to use.

AutoCAD has no color management settings, so the best you can do is to configure the driver
correctly. If you are using the HP-GL/2 and RTL driver, click the Properties button and configure the
driver as follows.
●In the Paper/Quality tab, set Print Quality to Best.
●In the Color tab, ensure that the Print In Grayscale box is unchecked, and set Color Matching
Method to sRGB.

Microsoft Office has no color management settings, so the best you can do is to configure the driver
correctly. If you are using the HP-GL/2 and RTL driver, click the Properties button and configure the
driver as follows.
●In the Paper/Quality tab, set Print Quality to Best.
●In the Color tab, ensure that the Print In Grayscale box is unchecked, and set Color
Management to sRGB.

ArcGIS is a scalable system of software for geographic data creation, management, integration,
analysis, and dissemination for every organization, from an individual to a globally distributed
network of people.
The application always sends RGB data to the printer driver; you can choose between several
different printer engines. The printer engine determines the format and method used by ArcMap to

							send the print job to the printer. There are from one to three options available, depending on license
and printer configurations.
●Windows is the default and is always available, regardless of the printer in use. It allows the
application to use the installed HP-GL/2 and RTL driver.
●PostScript is available only if your printer supports PostScript and the PostScript driver was
selected in the Name section. This allows you to output the file as a Postscript file. This option
may be useful in certain specific cases, but in general it is not recommended.
●ArcPress is an extension that can be purchased for printing from ArcGIS. It is a software RIP
that takes the original metafile and rasterizes it before sending it to the printer, so that the
printer does not need to rasterize it. This is beneficial because some printers are not capable of
rasterization or do not have enough memory to process large jobs. Use ArcPress always with
HP RTL (RGB) TrueColor.
Printing with the Windows printer engine
1.Ensure that you have installed the HP-GL/2 and RTL driver.
2.When you are ready to print, select File > Page and Print Setup, and select the HP-GL/2 and
RTL driver.
3.Click the Properties button and configure the driver as follows.
●In the Paper/Quality tab, set Print Quality to Best.
●In the Color tab, ensure that the Print In Grayscale box is unchecked, and set Color
Matching Method to sRGB.
4.Click the OK button.

							5.Select File > Print.
●Printer Engine: select Windows Printer (it will use the selected raster driver).
●Output Image Quality (Resample Ratio): this setting alters the number of pixels sampled
when an ArcMap print file is generated; it determines how many pixels in the map
document will be used to create the file sent to the printer.
●Fast = 1:5
●Normal = 1:3
●Best = 1:1 (as is)
The Best choice requires a lot of resources to process the print job, and could cause long
processing times and perhaps out–of–memory messages, depending on the map size. If
you have these problems, select an Output Image Quality lower than Best. Bear in mind
that you will gain no advantage in print quality by sending an image whose resolution is
higher than the printers input resolution.
6.You can print now (click the OK button).
Printing with the ArcPress printer engine
1.You must have the driver you need installed, although it will function only as a port.
2.When you are ready to print, select File > Page and Print Setup, select the driver (the driver
settings have no effect), and click the OK button.
3.Select File > Print.
●Printer Engine: select ArcPress.

							●Click the Properties button, select the HP RTL (RGB) TrueColor driver, and select the
resolution that will be sent to the printer.
●Select the Color Adjustment tab if you want to adjust gamma, brightness, contrast, or
saturation. You can preview the changes.
4.You can print now: click the OK button in this dialog box and in the Print dialog box.

							Remove an ink cartridge
There are two types of ink cartridge removal.
●The ink cartridge is very low and you want to replace it with a full cartridge for unattended
printing (you can use up the remaining ink in the first cartridge at a more convenient time).
●The ink cartridge is empty or faulty, and you must replace it to continue printing.
CAUTIONDo not try to remove an ink cartridge while printing.
CAUTIONRemove an ink cartridge only if you are ready to insert another one.
WARNING!Make sure the printer wheels are locked (the brake lever is pressed down) to
prevent the printer from moving.
1.
At the printers front panel, select the  icon, then Replace ink cartridges.
2.The ink cartridge door is on the left-hand side of the printer.
