The following information is displayed on the front panel:

HP Utility for Mac OS X (Information group: Printer Status > Supplies Status) and the Embedded Web Server
(Paper tab > Paper Source, then click the card for the loaded paper to see the extra details of calibration and

Paper presets
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes the way it
prints on each dierent paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require a longer
drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each paper type. This description is
called the paper preset. The paper preset contains the ICC prole, which describes the color characteristics of the
paper; it also contains information on other characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly
related to color. Existing paper presets for your printer are already installed in the printer's software.
However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer contains paper
presets only for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which your printer has no
preset, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display.
You can download additional paper presets from the Web and install them: see To install a downloaded paper
preset on page 33.
