Paper presets
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes the way it
prints on each dierent paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require a longer
drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each paper type. This description is
called the paper preset. The paper preset contains the ICC prole, which describes the color characteristics of the
paper; it also contains information on other characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly
related to color. Existing paper presets for your printer are already installed in the printer's software.
However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer contains paper
presets only for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which your printer has no
preset, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display.
There are two ways to assign a preset for a new paper type.
●
Import a paper preset that you have downloaded from the Web. See To install a downloaded paper preset
on page 43.
●
Create your own paper preset using the HP Color Center. See To create your own paper preset
on page 44.
NOTE: You can use a maximum of 30 custom and additional paper types. To delete a custom or additional
paper preset, go to the Color Center and select Paper Preset Management > Delete Paper Preset. In the
HP DesignJet Utility for Mac OS X, select Paper Preset Management > Delete Paper Preset.
To install a downloaded paper preset
1. After nding the right paper preset at http://www.hp.com/go/Z2600/paperpresets,
http://www.hp.com/go/Z5600/paperpresets, or the paper manufacturer's Web site, click the Download
Now button and save the paper preset (an .oms le) on your computer.
NOTE: If you do not nd the paper preset you want on the Web, you may nd that it has been added to
the latest rmware for your printer. You can check the rmware release notes for information, see Update
the rmware on page 111.
2. Before starting to install the new preset, make sure that the printer is idle and the print queue is stopped.
Installing a new paper preset will interrupt any printing that is in progress.
