To switch to the Ink page, press the Ink icon in the Activity Tray at the bottom of the screen.
1 Ink levels and status — displays the amount of ink remaining in a bar graph and numerical display, the capacity of the ink
supply, and ink status.
2 Check Jet Health — fires all jets by printing a test pattern. This is a good way to inspect and prepare the jets for printing
after they have been idle.
3 Purge — purges the printheads to help recover missing jets. You can purge all colors or any combination of colors,
Standard or enhanced Performance purges, and print a prime bars pattern to see whether jets are recovered after each
purge.
4 Maintenance — displays the Maintenance menu (see 
Maintenance menu on page 35).
Maintenance menu
●Check Jet Health — prints a test pattern that shows working and non-working jets.
●Perform An Air Purge — purges the printheads with air to clear ink clogs. You can select the
printheads to purge, and whether to perform a Standard or Performance purge (the Performance
purge is more effective but expels more ink).
ENWWInk page 35
 
						

							●Access Printheads — moves the printhead carriage to the center of the rail for inspection.
●Print Recover Jets Pattern — prints a special pattern designed to recover missing inkjets. After
printing this pattern, the prime bars are printed.
●Printhead Procedures
◦Load Ink in All Heads — fills all printheads with ink. Typically used only when installing a
new printer.
◦Fill Heads with Ink — fills the printheads that you select with ink.
◦Empty Heads (Fill With Air) — fills the printheads that you select with air.
●Ink Filter Counts — the printers ink filters will eventually become clogged and need to be
replaced. You can view the volume of ink that has passed through each filter by selecting this
option. The service technician will reset these counts after replacing the ink filters.
●Purge Type — sets the purge type used when you press Purge on the Home Page screen:
Standard or Performance. Performance is more effective, but uses more ink than Standard uses.
●Low Ink Warning — defines the amount of ink remaining at which the printer will display a “low
ink” message on the control panel.
●Set Auto Purge & Wipe Interval — you can set the number of prints after which the printer will
automatically perform a purge and wipe of the printheads. This is intended to keep the jets
working during an extended period of unattended printing on roll-fed media (for example,
overnight).
●Idle Spit While Printing (white ink only) — you can choose whether to have the white ink spit ink
into the service station when printing non-white areas. The default is “off,” since most white print
jobs include flood fills with white throughout and will not need idle spitting.
●Upgrade Printer For White Ink Use — this option is displayed before the white ink upgrade
option has been installed. It enables you to install the white ink upgrade. Refer to the instructions
that are included in the white ink option accessory kit for details.
●Change Color Set — this option is displayed after the white ink upgrade option has been
installed. It enables you to convert the printer from six-color printing to four-color plus white
printing.

User Diagnostics
User Diagnostics presents an interactive troubleshooting program to diagnose problems before
calling technical support. It walks you through a series of tests and checks for certain printer
functions. The printer asks you to make observations or run simple tests to help it diagnose problems
and suggest corrective actions. It has the following sections:
●Carriage Motion
●Rail Motion
●Calibration
●Verify H2H Y Alignment
●Print Quality
●Service Station
●Vacuum Pressure
●Hard Drive
●LVDS
●Printhead Jet Statistics
●Warnings and Actions List — table of all actions and warnings with cause and recovery
●Error History — displays a list of errors that have occurred since the printer was last powered up.
●Log Error History — writes all of the error messages that have occurred on the printer since the
printer was put into service to the printers log file. The file can be downloaded from the printer
via the printers Embedded Web Server (enter the IP address shown on the System page into a
web browser).
●Log System Info — writes general system events, including head motion failures and printhead
purges, into the printers a log file. The file can be downloaded from the printer via the printers
Embedded Web Server (enter the IP address shown on the System page into a web browser).
Alternatively, the log can be printed and mailed or faxed (from the System page, press Tools
and select Service Printer > Print Info Pages from the menu).
Service Printer
These functions are primarily for factory, service, and technical support use.
You can save troubleshooting data to a file for technical support personnel (System page > Tools >
Service Printer > Save Troubleshooting Data to File). To access the file, open the HP Embedded
Web Server, click Get Printer Events Files, then click InfoSettingsFile.txt. The file will open in the
web browser. From there you can save the file for reference or transmission to technical support
personnel.

●UV Lamps Idle Time — sets the amount of time the lamps will stay on after printing before they
are automatically turned off by the printer. The idle time can be set from 1 to 15 minutes.
Increase the idle time if you are printing several jobs and waiting for the lamps to warm up
between prints. Decrease the idle time if printing single jobs.
●Attention Sorting — enables you to sort the attention message display by Severity or
Chronologically.
●Auto Maintenance Time — defines the time of day at which automatic maintenance is
