Printing with a single print cartridge
If one of the print cartridges runs out of ink before you can replace it, you can still print with a single print
cartridge.
NOTE: Printing with one print cartridge might be slower and the print quality might be affected. It is
recommended to print with both print cartridges. For borderless printing, the tri-color print cartridge must
be installed.
Calibrating color
If you are not satisfied with the appearance of the colors, you can calibrate colors manually to ensure the
best print quality
NOTE: Calibrate the color only when the tri-color and photo print cartridges are installed together. The
photo print cartridge is available for purchase as an optional accessory. See HP supplies and accessories .
NOTE: If you are using a Pocket PC or Palm OS device, you can calibrate the color using the Toolbox
software for PDAs. See Toolbox software for PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS) .
Color calibration balances color tints on printed pages. It is only necessary if:
• Printed colors have visibly shifted toward yellow, cyan or magenta.
• There is a color tinge in the gray shades.
Low ink levels in the print cartridges might also produce incorrect colors.
