Perform paper advance calibration
The printer is calibrated to advance correctly when printing all the papers that appear on the front
panel. When you select the type of loaded paper, the printer adjusts the rate at which it advances the
paper while printing. However, to fine-tune the image quality of your print, you might need to calibrate
the rate at which the paper advances. See
Troubleshoot print-quality issues on page 144 to determine
whether paper-advance calibration is the solution for your issue.
Accurate paper advance controls proper placement of dots on the paper. If the paper is not advanced
correctly, light or dark bands appear in the printed image and the grain in the image might increase.
To check the paper advance calibration status of the paper, select the
icon, then View loaded
paper. The status appears:
●
DEFAULT: this status appears when an HP paper is loaded. Unless you experience image-quality
problems in your printed image, such as banding or graininess, HP recommends that you do not
calibrate the paper advance.
●
RECOMMENDED: this status appears when you create a new paper. The paper advance values
for this paper are inherited from the family type. HP recommends that you perform a paper
advance calibration to optimize the values.
●
OK: this status indicates that the loaded paper has been calibrated previously. However, you
might need to repeat the calibration if you experience image-quality problems, such as banding or
graininess in your printed image.
NOTE: Whenever you update the printer firmware, the paper-advance calibration values are
reset to the factory default. See
Update the printer firmware on page 138.
NOTE: Colored papers, glossy canvas, and transparent materials such as translucent bond,
clear film, natural tracing paper, and vellum are not suitable for paper-advance calibration.
