Your printer was calibrated at the factory to ensure that it operates with the 
greatest accuracy in normal environmental conditions. If you are operating 
under significantly different conditions, you should recalibrate the printer as 
explained here. You may also need to recalibrate the printer if you are using 
non-HP printing materials or if you are experiencing image quality problems 
for some other reason. Before recalibrating the printer, you should always 
use the 
image quality print to verify that you do actually have image quality 
problems caused by media advance problems.
Note: the accuracy calibration applies only to the media type currently 
selected in the front panel. Other media types will keep their original media 
advance settings.

environmental specifications.
To perform accuracy calibration, watch the animation below.
 
to restore the original calibration
If you notice after calibration that your image quality is worse than before, 
you can return to the original settings: choose Utilities > Calibrations > 
Accuracy > Restore Factory.
