							NOTE:Each 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 HP 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.

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 HP 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 HP RTL driver.

							2.When you are ready to print, select File > Page and Print Setup, and select the HP-GL/2 and HP
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.

							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.
CAUTION:Do not try to remove an ink cartridge while printing.
CAUTION:Remove 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.
