To ensure color consistency when reprinting the job, use the same paper type.

1.

Check that the color calibration is valid for the paper type that is loaded in both printers. On the
front panel, select the

icon, and then select View loaded paper. In the Paper

information window, check that Color Calibration is OK. If the status of the Color
Calibration is Pending or Recommended, perform a color calibration from the HP Color

Center, or on the front panel.

Print the jobs.

Use ESRI ArcGIS 9 to print a map

ArcGIS is a scalable system of software for geographic data creation, management, integration,

analysis, and dissemination for every organization, from an individual to a globally distributed network

of people.

The software always sends RGB data to the printer driver. Select from several different printer engines.

The printer engine determines the format and method that ArcMap uses to send the print job to the

printer. One to three options are available, depending on license and printer configurations.

Windows is the default and is always available, regardless of the printer that is in use. It allows

the software to use the installed HP-GL/2 and RTL driver

PostScript is available only if your printer supports PostScript and when the PostScript driver has

been selected in the Name section. This allows you to output the file as a PostScript file. This

option might be useful in certain specific cases, but in general it is not recommended.

ArcPress is an extension that can be purchased for printing from ArcGIS. It is a software RIP that

takes the original metafile and applies raster to it before sending it to the printer, so that the

printer does not need to. This is beneficial because some printers cannot apply raster or do not

have enough memory to process large jobs. Always use ArcPress with HP RTL (RGB) TrueColor.

Use the Windows printer engine

1.

Make sure that you have installed the HP-GL/2 and RTL driver.

2.

When you are ready to print, select File > Page and Print Setup, and select the HP-GL/2 and

RTL driver.
