Recalibrating the Printer for Accuracy

When to Recalibrate the Printer

Your printer was calibrated at the factory using HP Matte Film, with a thickness of
0.12 mm (0.0048 in);

at 23

It will operate with greatest accuracy in similar environmental conditions. If you
are operating under significantly different conditions, you should recalibrate the
printer as explained here. The printer’s environmental specifications are given on
page 11-4. Also, if you are using a non-standard media type, you should first
recalibrate the printer for that media type. For supported media types, see
page 3-3. You may also need to recalibrate the printer if you have banding
problems, see page 9-20.
