The situation describes how to produce an HP-GL/2 file (also known as a PLT file) with the HP-GL/2 driver
installed for one printer that you intend to send to another printer.
1. Check that both printers have the most recent firmware version. See
Update the printer firmware
on page 143.
2. Make sure that Color Calibration is turned on. At the front panel of the HP Designjet Z6800, select the
icon, then Printer configuration > Color calibration > On.
3. Load the printers with the same type of paper.
4. Check that the Paper Type setting on the front panel corresponds to the paper you have loaded.
5. If you have an HP-GL/2 file for an HP Designjet 5500 and you want to print it on an HP Designjet Z6800,
use the Embedded Web Server or the front panel.
●
Through the Embedded Web Server: leave the color options set to Default.
●
On the front panel: select the
icon, and then select Printing preferences > Color options >
Emulate printer > HP Designjet 5500 Series.
For other HP Designjet printers, set both printers to match the screen colors (sRGB, if that is available),
as when printing with separate HP-GL/2 drivers.

If the front-panel graphic language setting is Automatic (the default), try the other settings: PostScript for a
PostScript file, HP-GL/2 for an HP-GL/2 file, and so on. Then send the file again.
When you have finished this particular print, remember to reset the graphic language to Automatic.
The output contains only a partial print
●
If you pressed Cancel before the printer received all the data, you ended the data transmission and will
have to print the page again.
●
The I/O timeout setting might be too short. This setting determines how long the printer waits for the
computer to send more data, before deciding that the job is finished. On the front panel, increase the
I/O timeout setting to a longer period and then send the print again by selecting the Connectivity menu
icon
, then Advanced > Select I/O timeout.
●
A communications problem between your computer and the printer might exist. Check your network
cable.
