5. Click the Update button and wait for the update process to finish. It may take some time. The printer
will automatically restart when the update is complete; wait until it has restarted and the front panel
indicates that it is ready.
6. Check that the new paper type appears in the Additional paper or Custom paper category in your
printer's front panel.
7. Under Mac OS X only, synchronize the new paper type with the driver by opening the HP Utility. Select
your printer, then the Color Center tab, then Paper Preset Management and Synchronize Paper
Presets (
button).
Now that you have imported the paper preset, you can select the paper type from the front panel and from
the Mac OS X driver. The ICC profile for the new paper type is ready to use by your application.
To create your own paper preset
Before using a custom paper type with your printer, you should add a paper preset for the new paper. You
can create a new paper preset using the HP Color Center in the HP Utility.
The paper preset name will appear in the printer driver and the front panel.
To create a paper preset, you can follow this simple procedure:
1. Go to the Color Center tab in the HP Utility for Windows, or to the HP Color Center group in the HP Utility
for Mac OS.
2. Select Create New Paper Preset.
3. Enter your paper's name.
TIP: The paper's commercial name is likely to be the most understandable for other users of the
printer.
4. Select a paper category from the drop-down menu. The paper category determines the amount of ink
used and other basic printing parameters. For more information, see the online help
in the Color
Center, and
http://www.hp.com/go/Z5400ps/paperpresets. The available categories are:
●
Bond and Coated Paper: Fiber-based, thin papers with a matte surface. These papers use matte
black ink, relatively low ink limits and high carriage position.
●
Photo Paper: Photo-base, relatively thick papers with a variety of finishing from matte to satin to
glossy. These papers use photo black ink, with the exception of Photo Matte Papers, relatively
high ink limits and low carriage position, with the exception of Baryte and Photo Matte Papers.
Generally they will print with the starwheels up.
●
Proofing Paper: A variety of papers from matte to satin and glossy used to simulate commercial
printing with high color accuracy requirements.
●
Fine Art Material: Canvas, matte and paper-base photo materials used for high-quality fine art
printing. These papers use matte black ink, with the exception of Canvas Satin and Pearl papers,
which use photo black. They all use high carriage position with high ink limits.
●
Film: Synthetic film-base materials that generally use photo black, with relatively low ink limits
and high carriage position.
●
Backlit: Synthetic translucent materials that use photo black with high ink limits, high carriage
position and starwheels up.
