The printer’s internal prints

The internal prints provide various kinds of information about your printer. You can request these prints

from the front panel without using a computer.

Before requesting any internal print, make sure that paper is loaded and that the Ready message

appears on the front-panel display.

To print an internal print, select the

icon, then select the type of internal print that you want.

The following internal prints are available:

Demo: shows some of the capabilities of the printer

Menu map: shows details of all the front-panel menus

Configuration: shows all the current front-panel settings

Usage report: shows estimates of the total number of prints, number of prints by paper type,

number of prints by print-quality option, and total amount of ink used per color. The accuracy of

these estimates is not guaranteed.

HP-GL/2 palette: shows the color or grayscale definitions in the currently-selected color palette

PostScript font list: lists the PostScript fonts that are installed in the printer (with the PostScript/PDF

upgrade)

Service information: provides information that service engineers require

Turn the printer on and off

TIP:

The printer can be left powered on without wasting energy. Leaving it on improves response time

and overall system reliability. When the printer has not been used for a certain period of time (the

default time is determined by Energy Star), it saves power by going into sleep mode. However, any

interaction with the printer's front-panel display, or sending a new job to print, returns it to active mode,

and it can resume printing immediately. To change the sleep mode time, see

Change the sleep mode

setting on page 24

.

NOTE:

In sleep mode, the printer performs maintenance service to the printheads from time-to-time.

This avoids long preparation times after long idle periods. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to

leave the printer powered on or in sleep mode to avoid wasting ink and time.
