The printer is calibrated at the factory to ensure that it operates with the greatest accuracy in normal environmental conditions. If the printer is operated under significantly different conditions, it should be recalibrated as explained here. The printer should also be recalibrated if non-HP printing material is being used or if Image Quality problems are being experienced for some other reason. Before recalibrating the printer, the Image Quality print should always be used to verify the appearance of any Image Quality problems caused by media advance problems.

To perform the Accuracy Calibration:

1. At the printer’s front panel, choose the printer icon, then Utilities > Calibrations > Accuracy > Recalibrate > Create Pattern.

2. Once the Accuracy Calibration print is completed, choose the printer icon, then Utilities > Calibrations > Accuracy > Recalibrate > Measure Pattern. Then reload the print back into the printer.
