How Do I Perform a Color Calibration?
To ensure that color consistency is maintained, you will need to perform a color 
calibration at various times (for example, when you change the printheads). For 
more information on when you should perform a color calibration, refer to “Tell 
Me About Color Calibration” on page 42. 
The calibration is performed for a given combination of printheads and paper 
type. After you have done the calibration, the calibration data is stored in the 
printer and is used the next time you print with the same type of paper loaded. 
Note that the color calibration is restricted to HP manufactured paper of certain 
types. Refer to the Using Your Printer CD for more details.
Note that different color calibrations apply for the default printer driver (RGB) 
and for the optional HP RIP (CMYK). This section describes how to perform a 
color calibration when using the default printer driver supplied with the printer. 
If you are using a RIP, to perform a color calibration refer to the documentation 
for your RIP.
For more general information about color calibration, refer to “Tell Me About 
Color Calibration” on page 42.
1. Make sure that you have a blank sheet of A4 or Letter paper, or a roll of 
paper of the relevant type at hand.
2. Double-click the HP Designjet Color Calibration icon on the desktop.
3. Choose the appropriate on-screen options.
The color calibration print will be produced. Once the calibration has finished, 
you do not need to keep the printout.

EnglishHow Do I Load Sheets of Paper? (General Guidance)
There are three ways of loading sheets of paper into the printer (note that the 
diagram below shows the printer with the Automatic Roll Feed installed):
The tray at the front of the printer for normal sheets of paper between 
76 x 142 mm (3 x 5.6 inches) and 457 x 610 mm (18 x 24 inches) (C+ or 
A2+); envelopes can also be loaded in the input tray.
The front path for paper between 110 x 205 mm (4.3 x 8.1 inches) and 
625x1625mm (24.6x63.9inches) (D+ or A1+);
The rear path, for single thick sheets of paper or other media between 
110 x 205 mm (4.3 x 8.1 inches) and 625 x 1625 mm 
(24.6 x 63.9 inches) (D+ or A1+). For printers with the Automatic Roll Feed 
installed, the upper slot is used for single-sheet input and the lower slot is 
used for roll input.
The extensions may be used to support large sheets of paper going into the 
front input path, and also act as supports for paper arriving in the output tray.
Important:If you wish to print to a sheet and there is a roll of paper loaded in 
the printer, the roll must be unloaded to allow printing to the sheet. This happens 
automatically when you send your print job to the printer. However, if you wish 
to print to a single sheet loaded via the front path, we recommend that you 
unload the roll manually before submitting your print job; see “How Do I Unload 
a Roll of Paper?” on page 10. The roll is automatically reloaded the next time 
printing to the roll is requested.

How Do I Load Paper Using the Front Path?
4. Place a piece of paper on the output tray, aligning it on the right of the 
output tray, with the side that is to be printed facing down. Do NOT stack 
paper.
5. Push the paper into the printer, pushing it firmly in as far as it will go, while 
maintaining its alignment to the right. Slide the tab on the left of the paper 
until it is holding the paper against the right side of the tray.
6. Press the OK key (the upper right key) on the front panel. The printer will 
check the alignment of the paper, and if it is misaligned, it will eject the 
paper; in that case you will have to reload the paper.
How Do I Unload Paper from the Front Path?
If you want to change or remove the paper that you have loaded before 
printing, for example to change the type of paper or to use a different input 
path:
 Press the Cancel and OK keys at the same time, to eject the paper.

EnglishHow Do I Load Paper in the Input Tray?
1. Remove the tray from the printer.
2. Remove the dust cover from the tray. Adjust the size of the tray if necessary. If 
the paper you are using is larger than Legal- or A4-size, extend the tray. For 
Legal- and A4-size or smaller paper, use the tray in its normal size. To adjust 
the size of the tray, slide the tray extension locking tab to the left until it 
clicks. This unlocks the tray extension. To lengthen the tray, pull the tray 
extension out as far as it will go. To make the tray shorter, push the tray 
extension in as far as it will go. The tray extension locking tab will click back 
to its normal position, locking the tray size.
3. Place the paper in the tray, to the right and towards the printer.

4. Push in the small tab on the right of the tray so that it fits snugly against the 
paper.
5. Move the larger tab on the left of the tray to the right so that it fits snugly 
against the paper. Replace the dust cover. Insert the tray into the printer, 
pushing it in as far as it will go. Note that if the paper tray is extended, it 
will project out from the printer and must be supported. Check that the tray is 
fully inserted.

EnglishHow Do I Load a Roll of Paper?
This section is only relevant if your printer has the Automatic Roll Feed installed.
Only one source of paper can be used by the printer at any one time, so if a 
roll of paper is loaded in the printer and you want to print to a sheet of paper, 
you must first unload the roll. The roll is automatically reloaded the next time 
printing to the roll is requested.
You can cut a roll without unloading it by pressing the OK key (top right key on 
the front panel); the paper first advances about 1 cm or 0.4 inch.
1. Set your application to pick paper from the roll feed.
2. Select Print from your application.
3. Load a roll of the required paper onto the spindle. Ensure that the roll is the 
right way round and that the blue stop on the spindle is pushed in against 
the paper.
4. Insert the spindle into its retaining slots, with the blue stop on the right and 
the black stop on the left as seen from the rear of the printer.
If the paper is glossy, we recommend that you wear gloves to avoid 
smearing the surface of the paper.
5. Make sure that the leading edge of the roll is straight and perpendicular to 
its side edges and has no irregularities.
