HP Designjet 4500 Printer series - Manual (Page 206)

Whenever you insert a new printhead and cleaner, the printer will normally perform a printhead
alignment and color calibration. Both are recommended for best print quality. In some cases, you
may decide to postpone printhead alignment until after some further printing has been done.
NOTE If you prefer to save some time at the expense of print quality, you can turn off these
automatic procedures from the front panel, by selecting the
icon, then Printer
configuration > Auto printhead alignment > Off and Printer configuration > Color
calibration > Off.
The front panel may request that you load paper that is suitable for printhead alignment. The
printhead alignment procedure requires a roll of opaque paper: not a single sheet, and not any kind
of transparent or translucent material.
When the front panel displays Ready, you are ready to print.
NOTE Make sure the printer window and the right-hand door are closed after you replace
the supplies. The printer will not print while these are open.
Check the status of the ink system
1. Access the Embedded Web Server (see Access the Embedded Web Server).
2. Go to the Supplies page.
The Supplies page shows you the status of the ink cartridges (including the ink levels), the
printheads, the printhead cleaners, and the loaded paper.
