    PostScript error  option is turned on, the PostScript error page automatically prints when PostScript
    errors occur.
    NOTE You must click  Apply before your changes take effect.
    Print quality
    Use the HP ToolboxFX print-quality options to improve the appearance of your print jobs. These are
    the same options that are available on the  System setup and Print quality  menu on the control
    panel. For more information, see 
    Control panel menus .
    The following options provided for controlling print  quality are Color Calibration and Grayscale
    Printing.
    ● Color Calibration. The following options are available.
    ●Power On Calibration
    ● Calibration Timing
    ● Calibrate Now
    ● Grayscale Printing. The following options are available.
    ●Resolution
    . Select 600 resolution for average print jobs and Fast Res 1200 for higher-
    quality print jobs. Select ProRes 1200 for the highest-quality print job, but a longer printing
    time.
    ● REt. You can turn on REt, which HP provides for improved print quality.
    ● Economode . Turn Economode on when you are printing average print jobs. Economode
    reduces print quality, but increases the life of your print cartridge. To increase print quality,
    turn Economode off. HP does not recommend full-time use of Economode.
    NOTE You must click  Apply before your changes take effect.
    Print density
    The print density settings allow you to make fine adjustments of the density (amount) of Cyan,
    Magenta, Yellow, and Black toner in your images, pages, and documents.
    ●Contrasts
    . Contrast is the density difference between light (highlight) and dark (shadow) colors.
    To increase the difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a negative highlight
    adjustment and a positive shadow adjustment), use a positive contrast setting. To decrease the
    difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a positive highlight adjustment and a
    negative shadow adjustment), use a negative contrast setting.
    ● Highlights
    . Highlight colors are colors near white. To make highlight colors darker, use a
    positive highlight setting, and to make highlight colors lighter use a negative highlight setting.
    This adjustment does not affect midtone or shadow colors.

    ●Midtones
    . Midtone colors are about halfway between white and solid density. To make midtone
    colors darker, use a positive midtone setting, and to make midtone colors lighter use a negative
    highlight setting. This adjustment does not affect highlight or shadow colors.
    ● Shadows  Shadow colors are colors near solid density. To make shadow colors darker, use a
    positive shadow setting, and to make shadow colors lighter use a negative shadow setting. This
    adjustment does not affect highlight or midtone colors.

    Using the embedded Web server
    When the printer is directly connected to a computer, use the HP ToolboxFX to view Web pages for
    the printer status.
    When the printer is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is automatically available.
    You may access the embedded Web server from any supported browser.
    The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing
    functions from your computer instead of using the printer control panel. Below are examples of what
    you can do using the embedded Web server:
    ●View printer status information.
    ● Set the type of paper loaded in each tray.
    ● Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones.
    ● View and change tray configurations.

    ● Mozilla 1.6 or later
    ● Safari 1.2 or later
    The embedded Web server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The
    embedded Web server does not support IPX-based or AppleTalk printer connections. You do not
    need Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server.
    To access the embedded Web server using a network connection
    In a supported Web browser on your computer, type  the IP address for the printer in the address/
    URL field. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information about printing a
    configuration page, see 
    Configuration page .)
    NOTE If you are unable to access the embedded Web server using the IP address, you can
    use the host name.

    Supplies life
    The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text
    at approximately 5% coverage, a cyan, magenta, or yellow print cartridge for the HP Color LaserJet
    2605 series printers lasts an average of 2,000 pages, and a black print cartridge lasts an average of
    2,500 pages. A typical business letter has 5% coverage.
    Checking and ordering supplies
    You can check the supplies status by using  the printer control panel, printing a Supplies Status page,
    or viewing the HP ToolboxFX, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you place an order for a
    replacement print cartridge when you first receive the Low message for a print cartridge. For typical
    use, the Order message indicates that approximately two weeks of life remains. When you use a
    new, authentic HP print cartridge, you can obtain the following types of supplies information:
    ● Amount of cartridge remaining
    ● Estimated number of pages remaining
    ● Number of pages printed
    ● Other supplies information
    NOTE If the printer is connected to the network, you can set the HP ToolboxFX to notify you
    by e-mail when a print cartridge is low or is near  the end of its useful life. If the printer is
    directly connected to a computer, you can set HP ToolboxFX to notify you when supplies are
    low.
    To check status and order using the control panel
    Do one of the following:
    ● Check the supplies status gauges on the printer control panel. These gauges indicate when a
    print cartridge is low or empty. The lights also indicate when a non-HP print cartridge is first
    installed.
    ● To print the Supplies Status page from the printer, on the printer control panel, select  Reports
    Menu , and then  Supplies Status . See 
    Supplies Status page for more information.
    If the supplies levels are low, you can order supplies through your local HP dealer, by telephone, or
    online. See 
    Accessories and ordering information  for part numbers. See http://www.hp.com/go/
    ljsupplies to order online.
    To check and order supplies using HP ToolboxFX
    You can configure HP ToolboxFX to notify you when  the supplies are low. You can choose to receive
    alerts by e-mail or as a pop-up message or taskbar icon. To order supplies by using the
    HP ToolboxFX, in the  Other Links area, click Order supplies . You must have Internet access to
    connect to the website.
