Single-cartridge printing mode
If one of your print cartridges runs out of ink before you can replace it, you can
still print with a single print cartridge.
If you do not have a replacement black print cartridge available, you can
remove the black print cartridge and print with only the tri-color print
cartridge.
If you do not have a replacement tri-color print cartridge available, you can
remove the tri-color print cartridge and print with only the black or photo
print cartridge. Documents will print in grayscale.
If you do not have a replacement photo print cartridge available, you can
remove the photo print cartridge and print with only the tri-color print
cartridge.
Calibrating color
Color calibration balances color tints on printed pages. It is only necessary if:
Printed colors have visibly shifted toward yellow, cyan or magenta.
There is a color tinge in the gray shades.
Low ink levels in the print cartridges may also produce incorrect colors.
For Windows
You can calibrate the color from the Toolbox or the printer driver.
1 Load plain paper into the input tray. The process uses one sheet of paper.
2 From the Toolbox click the Printer Services tab and then click Calibrate
Color .
-or-
To calibrate from the printer driver, click Start > Settings > Printers . Then
right-click the printer icon and select:
• Printing Preferences (Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
• Properties (Windows 98 and Windows Me)
• Document Defaults (Windows NT 4.0)
Click the Services tab and then click Calibrate Color .
Printing with one print cartridge may be slower, and colors will differ from those
when both print cartridges are installed. It is recommended to install both print
cartridges.
Calibrate the color only when the tri-color (HP No. 57) and photo (HP No. 58)
print cartridges are installed together. The photo print cartridge is available for
purchase as an optional accessory. See
HP Supplies and Accessories .
If you are using a PDA, please connect to a Windows or Macintosh operating
system and calibrate the color according to the instructions below.
