HP Designjet T620 Printer series - Manual (Page 47)

The following information is displayed on the front panel:
● Roll or sheet status
● Paper type you have selected
● Width of the paper in millimeters (estimated)
● Length of the sheet in millimeters (estimated)
● Color calibration status
● Paper advance calibration status
If no paper is loaded, the message Out of paper is displayed.
The same information is displayed in the HP Printer Utility for Windows, on the Supplies page.
NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched
on page 128 .
Paper profiles
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print-quality, the printer changes
the way it prints on each different 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 “media” or “paper” profile. The paper profile contains the ICC
profile, 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 profiles
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 only
contains paper profiles for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which
your printer has no profile, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display.
There are two ways to assign a profile for a new paper type.
● Use an HP factory paper profile by selecting the closest category and type in the front panel or the
HP Printer Utility, see
The paper type is not in the driver on page 114 .
NOTE: Colors may not be accurate. This method is not recommended for high-quality prints.
● Download the correct paper profile from: http://www.hp.com/go/T620/paperpresets/ .
NOTE: HP only provides profiles for HP paper types. If you do not find the paper profile you want
on the Web, you may find that it has been added to the latest firmware for your printer. You can
check the firmware release notes for information, see
Update the firmware on page 101 .
Print on loaded paper
To print a job on whichever paper is loaded in the printer, select Any in the Paper Type option of your
printer driver.
● In the Windows driver dialog: select the Paper/Quality tab, then select Any in the Paper Type
drop-down list.
● In the Mac OS Print dialog: select the Paper Type/Quality panel, then select Any in the Paper
Type drop-down list.
NOTE: Any is the default Paper Type selection.
