The HP ToolboxFX Figure 7-25 Print Density page The Print Density page contains the following settings: 274 ● 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.
● 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.

show a transfer defect while the simplex side does not. These adjustments allow duplex-side defects to be improved without affecting transfer performance on the simplex side (or vice versa). ● ● Dry paper. This setting increases transfer bias. Some papers (notably Chinese papers) become highly resistive in dry environments. To get enough transfer current into the paper to have good transfer, the transfer bias voltage needs to be increased.
● Trailing Edge Over-development (half-speed). The On setting selects optimized EP process parameters for decreasing trailing edge over-development in half speed (heavy and glossy media types). Trailing edge over-development is a jump-gap developer defect which causes excess toner at trailing edges of halftoned or solid areas. ● Mottle Prevention. The On setting selects optimized EP process parameters for decreasing developer mottle.

Summary of HP ToolboxFX known issues This section summarizes issues that are known to affect the version HP ToolboxFX released with the HP Color LaserJet 2605. The following topics are included: The HP ToolboxFX ● .NET Framework dependencies ● Device communication ● Obtaining debug information from HP ToolboxFX ● USB drivers are unsigned ● A need to enable or disable HP ToolboxFX arises .NET Framework dependencies The HP ToolboxFX is implemented using .
These communication errors might go away if you reboot your computer, but the only way to address this problem is to have the optimal system configuration described above. Another problem has been observed if you happen to have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your system at the time that you install the HP ToolboxFX software. The HP ToolboxFX software will still install the .NET Framework 1.1, since HP ToolboxFX will not utilize the .NET 2.0 Framework (due to other problems).
for the print driver needs to be configured correctly. In these cases, it is often necessary for you to reboot the computer after re-configuring the print driver in order for HP ToolboxFX to resume communication with the device. Obtaining debug information from HP ToolboxFX Although it is very unlikely, it is possible for HP ToolboxFX to encounter fatal errors, causing it to crash.
It is sometime helpful to obtain detailed debug information from HP ToolboxFX. In this case it is necessary to do the following: 1. Shut down HP ToolboxFX by executing HPTLBXFX.exe shutdown. See A need to enable or disable HP ToolboxFX arises. 2. Edit the file: C:\Program Files\HP\ToolBoxFX\defaults\manifest.
4. Browse to the location of the application, or type the path. Do not click OK yet. 5. Add the disabling option by typing -disable at the end of the path. The information in the Open field will appear as follows: "C:\Program Files\HP\ToolboxFX\bin\hptlbxfx.exe -disable" 6. Click OK. CAUTION Disabling the HP ToolboxFX will cause users to lose all HP ToolboxFX functionality.

Troubleshooting This section contains the following topics: ● Basic troubleshooting checklist ● Troubleshooting tools ● Known Issues for the HP Color LaserJet 2605 series printer Basic troubleshooting checklist Use the following steps when trying to solve a problem with the device. Table 8-1 Troubleshooting checklist Step number Verification step Possible problems 1 Is the power on? No power due to failed power 1. source, cable, switch, or fuse. Verify that the device is plugged in. 2.
Table 8-1 Troubleshooting checklist (continued) 4 Does the device print from the computer? Connect the network cable or USB cable to the device and the computer. Use a wordprocessing application to send a print job to the device. Software is not installed correctly or an error occurred during software installation. Uninstall and then reinstall the device software. Verify that you are using the correct installation procedure and the correct port setting. The cable is not connected correctly.
and attaches the files so that you can send them to your IT administrator, as shown in the following figure shows some of the attachments. If the File to E-mail utility is not successful for any reason (for instance, if you cancel the new message or you are using Web-based e-mail software), all the files are copied to a folder on the desktop that is named HpCCC, possibly with strings of 0's attached to the end. You can zip these files and e-mail them separately.
Cause: The issue occurs because the driver files are compressed in a .cab (cabinet) file on the HP Color LaserJet 2605 CD. Solution: The driver files must be extracted from the .cab file to the hard drive. Next the appropriate .inf (setup information) file must be copied to the same location as the extracted files. Then the “Additional Drivers” can be installed”. The steps below describe how to open the .
● 7. Next copy either hppbp602.inf (if installing the PCL6 driver) or hppbps02.inf (if installing the postscript driver) to the same location as the extracted driver files. 8. This location will now be used to install the Additional Drivers instead of the HP Color LaserJet 2605 series CD. Cause: The HP ToolboxFX is implemented using .NET technologies, and thus requires that the Microsoft .NET Framework be installed on the users system.
Device Communication The majority of problems observed with HP ToolboxFX involve a lack of communication with the device. In these cases, you should always check to see if the cables are plugged in, and the device is turned on. Also, please see the above section regarding .NET Framework dependencies. If communication problems are observed, particularly over a USB connection, the .NET Framework and Windows configuration should be checked and updated if necessary.
Solution: Open HP Marketing Assistant from the desktop icon or Start>All Programs>HP>HP Marketing Assistant and then click Start HP Marketing Assistant. ● Issue: HP Solution Center may not show second printer when two HP Color LaserJet 2605 series printers are installed on the same system. Solution: Both printers are accessible through HP ToolboxFX.
RecUsbReady=3 [SystemRequirements.Min] MinUsbReady=3 RecUsbReady=3 Hardware/Firmware ● Cause: CPR occurs when several color planes are misaligned. For example, if green text is printed, green is the combination of cyan and yellow toner. When the two color planes, cyan and yellow, are slightly misaligned it looks as if the print is fuzzy or ghosted. ● Cause: This is a mechanical limitation on the engine. There are no paper sensors in the duplex path.
● ERROR: limitcheck OFFENDING COMMAND: showpage STACK: (r) (Sys/Start) (Sys/Start) If the PCL6 job is allowed to continue to finish then the PS job will complete normally. The size does not seem to matter here. However, if a PCL6 job is canceled and a PS job is run afterwards, no matter how big the document, this error occurs. If a print job is run immediately after this error occurs it prints correctly. Solution: None. ● Solution: Perform an NVRAM initialization to return the printer to a Ready state.
● 6. Click OK to save and close the settings. 7. Click OK to print. Issue: .PDF files may take a long time to print. Engineering Detail Solution: Select the “Print as Image” checkbox inside of Adobe application. The “Print as Image” selection is typically found by clicking the “Advanced” button in the Print dialog that appears after clicking File>Print.
