Special features
Printheads
●Printheads — variable drop size, piezoelectric printheads.
Ink system
●Off-Head System (OHS) — bulk ink boxes with integrated filters. No-drip quick connectors
simplify ink box replacement.
●Onboard vacuum system — provides vacuum to maintain negative printhead pressure.
●Patent-pending automated printhead service station — fully maintains the health of the
printheads while idle or in service, without...

Performance and ease-of-use
●Media Wizard — stores and recalls a set of operating parameters by media type and print mode,
for optimal printing performance. Includes a set of predefined settings for standard media. You
can also create and save custom settings for other media.
●Edge-to-edge printing — provides the look of “full bleed” prints without trimming.
●Stored jobs — stores print jobs on the printers internal hard disk drive for subsequent reprinting
without having to resend it from the RIP....

Download a printer events file
The printer maintains a continuous log of its operations and settings in plain text files, which it stores
on its internal hard disk drive. These files are useful for troubleshooting. To access these files, select
the Get Printer Events Files option from the Embedded Web Server menu. From the list of files, click
the link to the file you want to view or save to your computer.
Update the printer software
HP occasionally issues new versions of the embedded software (printer...

2 Configure and load media
Configure media
Before the printer will accept a print job, it must be configured for a specific media type. The currently-
configured media type, if any, is displayed on the Home page of the control panel.
1.If the control panel displays the media type you intend to load, press Load and go to 
Load rigid
media on page 12. Otherwise, continue to the next step.
2.In the Activity Tray on the control panel, press the Media icon. The Media screen appears.

Use the control panel...

For each media type, the Media Wizard stores the following settings (as indicated, some settings
apply to either roll-fed or sheet-fed media only):
●General Media Settings
◦Vacuum Fan Level — adjusts the amount of vacuum at the media drive belt. Observe the
media as the fan speed changes. If the media is lifting off the belt, increase the fan speed.
If the media advance seems impeded by the vacuum, decrease the fan speed.
◦Feed Method — Rollfed (with optional supply and takeup system installed) or Cut...

Work with the rigid media tables
Figure 2-1  Output (1) and input (2) tables
The printer includes a set of standard input and output tables for rigid media handling: one for the
input side of the printer, and one for the output side. These tables are assembled, installed and
leveled when the printer is installed. The tables are designed to be used only when the tabletop is in
the horizontal position and latched to the printer. The latches, see (1) 
Figure 2-2 Table latches and
release cable on page 11,...

safety, print quality, and to provide a ground path to discharge the electrostatic charge from synthetic
media. When not attached to the standard tables, the extension table tops are designed to pivot into
the storage position under their own weight.
CAUTION:The standard and accessory extension tables are intended for use only when attached
to the printer as described in these instructions. When not in use, the tables should be stored with the
table tops folded in the storage position. Use caution when...

4.On the control panel, enter the approximate or exact thickness of the media you are loading,
then press Proceed.
5.Load the sheet of media onto the input table, sliding it forward against the media alignment bar
(under the printhead carriage rail), then left along the media alignment bar until the media
touches the leftmost alignment pin.
6.Press Sheet Ready on the control panel, or Cancel to cancel the media load process.
TIP:Before you press Sheet Ready, you can press Turn On Lamps on the control...

When you select a Measure Media option, the Measure Media Type menu appears. This
enables you to select a trade-off between image placement accuracy and throughput.
●Minimal — measures the media width once, locates leading edge near the user side on
subsequent loads.
●Standard — measures the media width once, estimates skew by locating the leading edge
near the user and service sides on subsequent loads.
●One Edge — on first load, measures both edges; on subsequent loads, measures the left
edge only....
