7 HP Print Care
Print Care is a program that helps you to maintain your printer in optimal condition and advises you how to
solve any problems that occur. It can also give you full information about the current status and past history
of the printer.
The program is already installed in the printer's built-in computer; you can run it by clicking its icon in the
Windows Quick Launch toolbar, or by double-clicking some parts of the Internal Print Server (for instance,
Print Care status).
Its functions are divided into the following categories..
●
Production Information displays information about printer status and printing history (paper usage, ink
usage, jobs). The information can be displayed in graphical charts or text reports, all of which you can
lter to select dierent subsets of information.
●
Maintenance prompts you to perform maintenance tasks, and provides instructions on how to perform
them. It can also list the maintenance tasks that have been performed in the past, and the printer
messages that have been displayed in the past.
●
Diagnostics can run functional tests on printer systems and components to check for failures and
malfunctions. Each diagnostics run generates a report that provides detailed results and
troubleshooting instructions. It can also list the tests that have been run in the past. See Print Care
diagnostics on page 151 for more details.
