The printer’s internal prints
The internal prints provide various kinds of information about your printer. You can request these prints
from the front panel without using a computer.
Before requesting any internal print, make sure that paper is loaded and that the Ready message
appears on the front-panel display.
To print an internal print, select the
icon, then select the type of internal print that you want.
The following internal prints are available:
●
Demo: shows some of the capabilities of the printer
●
Menu map: shows details of all the front-panel menus
●
Configuration: shows all the current front-panel settings
●
Usage report: shows estimates of the total number of prints, number of prints by paper type,
number of prints by print-quality option, and total amount of ink used per color. The accuracy of
these estimates is not guaranteed.
●
HP-GL/2 palette: shows the color or grayscale definitions in the currently-selected color palette
●
PostScript font list: lists the PostScript fonts that are installed in the printer (with the PostScript/PDF
upgrade)
●
Service information: provides information that service engineers require
Turn the printer on and off
TIP: The printer can be left powered on without wasting energy. Leaving it on improves response time
and overall system reliability. When the printer has not been used for a certain period of time (the
default time is determined by Energy Star), it saves power by going into sleep mode. However, any
interaction with the printer's front-panel display, or sending a new job to print, returns it to active mode,
and it can resume printing immediately. To change the sleep mode time, see
Change the sleep mode
setting on page 24.
NOTE: In sleep mode, the printer performs maintenance service to the printheads from time-to-time.
This avoids long preparation times after long idle periods. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to
leave the printer powered on or in sleep mode to avoid wasting ink and time.
