HP 2600n - Color LaserJet Laser Printer - Calibrating the Printer

Calibrating the printer
The printer automatically calibrates at various times. You can adjust the calibration settings by using
the HP Toolbox.
Environmental differences or aging print cartridges might cause fluctuations in image density. The
printer accounts for this with image stabilization control. The printer automatically calibrates at
various times to maintain the highest level of print quality. You can also request a calibration by using
the HP Toolbox.
The printer does not interrupt a print job to calibrate. It waits until the job is complete before
calibrating or cleaning. While the printer is calibrating, it pauses printing for the time that is required
to complete the calibration.
