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 Printer 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 Printer Utility for Windows, or to the HP Color Center group
in the HP Printer 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
