The paper preset name will appear in the printer driver and the front panel.

To create a paper preset, you can follow this simple procedure:

Go to the Color Center tab in the HP Printer Utility for Windows, or to the HP Color Center group
in the HP Printer Utility for Mac OS.

Enter your paper's name.

TIP:
