7. Click Next. The printer performs a color calibration and prints a calibration chart. This can take up to 10
minutes.
NOTE: For more information on the processes available in the Color Center, for the Z6800 see A
summary of the color-management process on page 100, and for the Z6600 see A summary of the
color-management process on page 104.

Cancel the drying time
Press the Form Feed and Cut key on the front panel.
CAUTION: A print that has not dried sufficiently can suffer from quality problems.
Change the drying time
You can use the HP Designjet Utility to change the drying time for a particular paper type, to accommodate
special printing conditions.
1. Open the HP Color Center.
2. Select Paper preset management.
3. Select Change printing properties.
4. Select the paper category.
5. Select the paper type.
6. Choose a drying time from the Dry Time drop-down menu.
NOTE: The text box to the right of the drop-down menu will not display the time in seconds when the
Automatic option is selected (it is selected by default for all paper types). This is because the
Automatic option means that the printer will calculate the optimal drying time for you depending on
the temperature at printing time, and therefore it cannot be known in advance.
You can turn off all drying time for all paper types by selecting the icon, then Print retrieval > Select
drying time > Off.
For more information about drying time, see
Drying time on page 27.
