● Paper type you have selected
● Width of the paper in millimeters (estimated)
● Length of the sheet in millimeters (estimated)
● Color calibration status
● Paper advance calibration status
If no paper is loaded, the message Out of paper  is displayed.
The same information is displayed in the HP Printer Utility for Windows, on the Supplies page.
NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched
on page 128.
Paper profiles
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print-quality, the printer changes
the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may
require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each
paper type. This description is called the “media” or “paper” profile. The paper profile contains the ICC
profile, which describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other
characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related to color. Existing paper profiles
for your printer are already installed in the printers software.
However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer only
contains paper profiles for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which
your printer has no profile, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display.
There are two ways to assign a profile for a new paper type.
● Use an HP factory paper profile by selecting the closest category and type in the front panel or the
HP Printer Utility, see 
The paper type is not in the driver on page 114
.
NOTE: Colors may not be accurate. This method is not recommended for high-quality prints.
●Download the correct paper profile from: http://www.hp.com/go/T620/paperpresets/
.
NOTE:HP only provides profiles for HP paper types. If you do not find the paper profile you want
on the Web, you may find that it has been added to the latest firmware for your printer. You can
check the firmware release notes for information, see 
Update the firmware on page 101.
Print on loaded paper
To print a job on whichever paper is loaded in the printer, select  Any in the Paper Type option of your
printer driver.
● In the Windows driver dialog: select the Paper/Quality tab, then select 
Any in the Paper Type
drop-down list.
● In the Mac OS Print dialog:
 select the Paper Type/Quality panel, then select  Any in the Paper
Type drop-down list.
NOTE: Any is the default Paper Type selection.

							Maintain paper
To maintain paper quality, follow the recommendations below.
●Store rolls covered by another piece of paper or cloth
● Store cut sheets covered and clean or brush them before loading them in the printer
● Clean input and output platens and cut sheet tray
● Always keep the window of your printer closed
NOTE:
Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched
on page 128.
Change the drying time
You may wish to change the drying time setting to suit special printing conditions such as multiple prints
where time is of higher importance or when you need to be sure ink is dry before handling.
Select the Setup menu icon 
, then  Print retrieval  > Select drying time . You can select:
● Extended, to set a longer than recommended time to ensure ink is completely dry
● Optimal, to set the default and recommended time for your selected paper
● Reduced, to set a shorter than recommended time when quality is of lower importance
● None, to disable the drying time and remove your print as soon as it finishes printing
CAUTION:
If the ink is not dry when the print is removed it could leave ink in the output tray and marks
on the print.
NOTE: If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper right
away due to the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the printer cuts
the paper and then performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is greater than zero,
the printer does not cut the paper until after the printhead maintenance has completed, even if you press
the  Form feed and cut  key 
.
Turn the automatic cutter on and off
To turn the printers paper cutter on or off, go to the front panel and press the  Menu key to return to the
main menu. Select the Setup menu icon 
, then  Print retrieval  > Enable cutter  and change the
cutter option.
NOTE: When cutting between jobs is disabled the paper can still be cut while it is loaded. To completely
disable the cutter, use the HP Color Center within the HP Printer Utility, and customize your paper to
make it uncuttable.
NOTE: To cut rolled paper while the automatic cutter is disabled, see Feed and cut the paper
on page 42.
Feed and cut the paper
To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled, press the  Form feed and cut
key 
 on the front panel. The paper advances and the printer makes a straight cut on the front edge.

							NOTE:The printer may not cut the paper directly after pressing the  Form feed and cut key , as
each time a print is printed the printheads are serviced and the paper cannot be cut until the process
completes.
Remove the cut piece from the output tray.
CAUTION: If strips or short prints are left in  the output tray the printer could jam.
NOTE:Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched
