Managing printer color options on Macintosh computers
Setting the color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for the most common printing requirements. However, for some documents, setting the color options manually can enhance the way the document appears. Examples of these documents include marketing brochures that contain many images or documents that are printed on a media type that is not listed in the printer driver. Print color as gray or change the color options by using the Printer Features and Color Options 2 pop-up menu in the Print dialog box. For more information about how to gain access to the printer drivers, see Gaining access to the printer drivers.

Print Color as Gray

Selecting the Print Color as Gray option from the printer driver prints a document in black and shades of gray. This option is useful for previewing preliminary copies of slides and hardcopy output, or for printing color documents that will be photocopied or faxed.
Advanced color options for text, graphics, and photographs
Use manual color adjustment to adjust the Color (or Color Map) and Halftoning options for a print job.

Halftone options

Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can select halftone settings independently for text, graphics, and photographs. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail. The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option when uniform and smooth area fills are the top priority. The Detail option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option when sharp edges and details are the top priority. NOTE Some software programs convert text or graphics to raster images. In these cases, the Photographs settings also control text and graphics.

Neutral Grays

The Neutral Grays setting determines the method that the printer uses to create gray colors in text, graphics, and photographs. Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting: Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors that do not have a color cast. 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and it produces the darkest black.
NOTE Some software programs convert text or graphics to raster images. In these cases, the Photographs settings also control text and graphics.

RGB Color

The RGB Color option determines how colors are rendered. Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the printer to interpret RGB color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Organization. Select AdobeRGB for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. For example, some digital cameras capture images in AdobeRGB, and documents that are produced with Adobe PhotoShop use the AdobeRGB color space. When printing from a professional software program that uses AdobeRGB, it is important that you turn off the color management in the software program and allow the printer software to manage the color space. Photo Image interprets the RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital minilab. It is designed to render the deeper, more saturated colors differently than Default mode. Use this setting for printing photos. Device sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs properly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working or in the operating system. Vivid instructs the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics.

Edge Control

The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has three components: adaptive halftoning, Resolution Enhancement Technology (REt), and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of incorrect color alignment by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. The color REt option smooths the edges.
NOTE If you notice white gaps between objects, or if you notice areas that have a slight shadow of cyan, magenta, or yellow at the edge, choose an edge-control setting that increases the trapping level. Four levels of edge control are available: Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on. Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on. Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning and color REt settings are on. Off turns off trapping, adaptive halftoning, and color REt.

Features in the printer driver
Some printer drivers and some operating systems do not support all of these printer features. Setting a custom paper size Printing in grayscale Changing the color settings Creating and using watermarks Printing multiple pages on one sheet of paper (N-up printing) Creating and using Quick Sets Reducing or enlarging Printing on different paper for the first page Changing the print quality Restoring the default printer-driver settings
For printing using the Print on Both Sides (manually) feature, see Printing on both sides. Setting a custom paper size Use the Custom Paper feature to set up the printer to print to sizes other than standard ones. Try to set this setting from one of these locations, in this order: the Page Setup dialog box in the program, the Print dialog box in the program, or the Paper tab in the printer driver. Printing in grayscale If you have a document that you created in color, it will automatically print in color. Or, you can set the printer to print a color document in grayscale (black and white) only. Select the Print In Grayscale option on the Color tab of the printer driver. Changing the color settings When you are printing in color, the printer driver automatically sets the optimal color settings for you. However, you can manually make adjustments to how the printer prints in color for text, graphics, and photographs. See Printing on special media for more information. On the Color tab of the printer driver, click Settings. Creating and using watermarks Use the Watermark options to specify that text be placed "underneath" (in the background of) an existing document. For example, you might want to have large gray letters reading "draft" or "confidential" placed diagonally across the first page or all pages of a document. You can change color, position, and wording of the watermark. Gain access to the Watermark options on the Effects tab in your printer driver.
NOTE If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, you must have Administrator privileges to create watermarks. You do not need Administrator privileges to add existing watermarks to documents. Printing multiple pages on one sheet of paper (N-up printing) N-up printing is the ability to print multiple pages on one sheet of paper. The pages will appear decreased in size. You can specify up to nine pages per sheet, and they will be arranged on the sheet as shown in the following figures if you use the default arrangement. You can also choose whether a border appears around each page or not. Gain access to Pages per Sheet on the Finishing tab in the printer driver.

NOTE The HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn memory card reader recognizes only files in.JPEG file format when printing from the printer control panel. To print other file types, you must use the software, such as HP Image Zone, provided on the CD-ROMs that came with the printer. See the software online Help for information about how to print photos from your computer. Windows operating system users also can use Windows Explorer to move other file types to their computer and then print the files from the computer. Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on the HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn printer. To determine in which slot your memory card needs to be inserted, see the illustration below.

As illustrated in Table 8-7 Example: Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 applied to class A network, the Class A IP network address 15 has been assigned to company ABC. To allow additional networks at company ABCs site, the subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 is used. This subnet mask specifies that the second byte of the IP address will be used to identify up to 254 subnets. Using this designation, each device is uniquely identified on its own subnet, but company ABC can incorporate up to 254 subnetworks without violating their assigned address space.

Gateways

Gateways (routers) are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators between systems that do not use the same communication protocols, data formatting, structures, languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match that of the destination system. When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are required to connect one subnet to another.

Default gateway

The default gateway is the gateway or router that, if not specified, will be used to move packets between networks. It is specified by an IP address. If multiple gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway is typically the address of the first, or nearest, gateway or router. If no gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway will typically assume the IP address of the network node (such as the workstation or printer).

TCP/IP configuration

To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the printer must be configured with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network. CAUTION Changes to these settings might result in a loss of functionality with your printer. For example, HP Web JetAdmin might stop working with certain settings changes.
Server-based, AutoIP, and manual TCP/IP configuration
When in a factory-default state and powered on, the printer will first try to obtain its TCP/IP configuration using a server-based method, such as BOOTP or DHCP. If the server-based method fails, the printer will then be configured using the AutoIP protocol. The printer may also be configured manually. Manual-based tools include a Web browser, the printer control panel, or the HP ToolboxFX utility. TCP/IP configuration values assigned manually will be retained when the printer is powered off/ on. The printer can also be reconfigured to use either server-based only (BOOTP and/or DHCP), and/ or AutoIP only, or manual configuration of TCP/IP settings at any time.

Print density

The print density settings allow you to make fine adjustments of the density (amount) of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black toner in your images, pages, and documents. Contrasts. Contrast is the density difference between light (highlight) and dark (shadow) colors. To increase the difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a negative highlight adjustment and a positive shadow adjustment), use a positive contrast setting. To decrease the difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a positive highlight adjustment and a negative shadow adjustment), use a negative contrast setting. Highlights. Highlight colors are colors near white. To make highlight colors darker, use a positive highlight setting, and to make highlight colors lighter use a negative highlight setting. This adjustment does not affect midtone or shadow colors.
Midtones. Midtone colors are about halfway between white and solid density. To make midtone colors darker, use a positive midtone setting, and to make midtone colors lighter use a negative highlight setting. This adjustment does not affect highlight or shadow colors. Shadows Shadow colors are colors near solid density. To make shadow colors darker, use a positive shadow setting, and to make shadow colors lighter use a negative shadow setting. This adjustment does not affect highlight or midtone colors.

Paper types

Use these HP ToolboxFX Paper types options to configure print modes that correspond to the various media types. When you select Restore Modes, all of the modes are reset to the factory settings. NOTE You must click Apply before your changes take effect.
Memory card (HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn)
Use the HP ToolboxFX memory card options to configure print settings when using memory cards. Three options are available for configuring the printer when using memory cards. Photo image size. Select the size photos to print from the drop-down list. Photo number of copies. Type the number of copies from 0 to 99 to print for each image. Photo output color. Select either Color or Monochrome from the drop-down list.

NOTE If the printer is connected to the network, you can set the HP ToolboxFX to notify you by e-mail when a print cartridge is low or is near the end of its useful life. If the printer is directly connected to a computer, you can set HP ToolboxFX to notify you when supplies are low.
To check status and order using the control panel
Do one of the following: Check the supplies status gauges on the printer control panel. These gauges indicate when a print cartridge is low or empty. The lights also indicate when a non-HP print cartridge is first installed. To print the Supplies Status page from the printer, on the printer control panel, select Reports Menu, and then Supplies Status. See Supplies Status page for more information.
If the supplies levels are low, you can order supplies through your local HP dealer, by telephone, or online. See Accessories and ordering information for part numbers. See http://www.hp.com/go/ ljsupplies to order online.
To check and order supplies using HP ToolboxFX
You can configure HP ToolboxFX to notify you when the supplies are low. You can choose to receive alerts by e-mail or as a pop-up message or taskbar icon.

Cause The media tray might be overloaded. The paper-length adjustment control in Tray 2 or optional Tray 3 is set at a length that is greater than the media size. The pickup roller might be dirty or damaged.
Solution Remove some of the media from the tray. See Loading trays. Adjust the paper-length adjustment control to the correct length.
Contact HP Customer Care. See HP Customer Care or the support flyer that came in the printer box.

Performance problems

Try the tips in this section if pages exit the printer, but have nothing printed on them, or when the printer does not print any pages.
Problem Pages print but are totally blank. Cause The sealing tape might still be in the print cartridges. The document might contain blank pages. The printer might be malfunctioning. Pages print very slowly. Heavier media types can slow the print job. Complex pages will print slower Solution Verify that the sealing tape has been completely removed from the print cartridges. Check the document that you are printing to see if content appears on all of the pages. To check the printer, print a Configuration page. Print on a different type of media. Proper fusing may require a slower print speed to ensure the best print quality. See Media-handling problems. Clear the jam. Other devices are running on your computer. Disconnect the USB cable at both ends and reconnect it. Try printing a job that has printed in the past. Try using a different USB cable.

Pages did not print.

The printer might not be pulling media correctly. The media is jamming in the printer. The USB cable might be defective or incorrectly connected.
The device might not share a USB port. If you have an external hard drive or network switchbox that is connected to the same port as the printer, the other device might be interfering. To connect and use the printer, you must disconnect the other device or you must use two USB ports on the computer.
