Setting up your printer Task 8: (Optional) Configure the printer
In the majority of cases, there is no need to change any of the printers default settings. This may be because: You prefer to change those settings that affect the appearance of your prints from your application software. The printers factory defaults, listed on page 122, are acceptable. However, if you do want to change the defaults, follow these steps, which explain how to print and use the Setup Sheet. Note. If you changed the language from English (see task 6 above), you already know how to use this sheet, but this time it will be in your chosen language. 1 Load a sheet of A-size or A4-size plain paper, in portrait orientation. For help on how to load a sheet, either refer to the pictures on the right-hand side of the printers media-entry slot, or see the section starting on page 29. Dont forget to check that the Media Source is set to Sheet. When the Ready light is on, you have loaded the sheet correctly.

Controlling your prints appearance Rotating a print

Rotating a print

Can you rotate any drawing using the Setup Sheet?
No. The Rotate option available in the Setup Sheet is applicable only if the file contains no raster data. The normal line drawings of most CAD software do not contain raster data, and therefore you can use this Rotate option. However, if you are using one of the Microsoft Windows drivers supplied with this printer, your files do contain raster data and therefore you cannot use this Rotate option.
To rotate a print using the printers Setup Sheet
Providing your print file does not contain raster data, you can rotate a print using the Setup Sheet, without changing the drawing in your software. The available options are:

Printing a mirror image

You can print a mirror image of a drawing, using the Setup Sheet, without changing the drawing in your software. The available options are:
Mirror off. With this setting, the printer will print as requested by your
software, without adding any mirroring. This is the default.
Mirror on. With this setting, the printer will produce a mirror image of a
drawing, relative to the drawings orientation in your software: Mirror off Mirror on

Controlling your prints appearance Changing the printers logical pen characteristics
Changing the printers logical pen characteristics
The characteristics of the printers logical pens, referenced by your software, can be set either by software or by the settings for pens 1 through 8 in the Setup Sheet. The default is to use settings from the software. Sometimes you may, for example, want to produce a set of drawings all with the same pen settings, but without having to change the software settings for the individual drawings. In this case you can choose to provide the pen settings from the printer. If you want to provide your own settings in the printer and use those, use the Pen Settings section in the Setup Sheet and select Use settings from tables below. Using this option, you can specify the Width and Color/Grayscale of logical pens 1 through 8.

MAINTENANCE

Maintaining your printer Replacing cartridges

Replacing cartridges

Replaceable print cartridges are used in the HP DesignJets 430, 450C and 488CA, greatly reducing the user maintenance requirements, as these are the components that suffer the greatest wear and tear.
When to replace cartridges
Replace cartridges in the following two circumstances. When you are troubleshooting print quality problems. See the section starting on page 912. When either poor print quality or the ink-level indicator on the cartridge indicates that the cartridge is out of ink. To check a cartridges ink level

Green = full

More than half-empty*

Black = empty

* When the ink-level indicator shows approximately half-black and half-green, be sure to have a replacement cartridge available. The ink-level indicator is not an exact gauge of the specific quantity of ink available over the life of the print cartridge.
To achieve the best lifetime for your pen cartridges, you should not remove them once they are installed, except to replace them.

Using genuine HP supplies
To ensure best performance, Hewlett-Packard Company recommends using only genuine HP supplies in HP inkjet printers. Refilling an HP print cartridge pushes the electronic and mechanical components of the cartridge past its normal life cycle, creating many potential problems, such as: Poor print quality. Non-HP ink can contain components that: 1) cause nozzles to become clogged, resulting in streaked copy and graying for fuzzy characters, and 2) corrode the print cartridge electrical components, resulting in poor printouts. Potential damage. If ink from a refilled cartridge leaks, the excess ink may cause damage to the service station that caps the cartridge while not in use. Because this service station maintains the health of the cartridge, quality problems may occur with the print cartridge. If ink from a refilled cartridge leaks onto the electrical components in your printer, severe printer damage can occur, causing downtime and repair costs.

d Insert the new cartridge in the stall. Press down lightly and push the cartridge away from you until it snaps into place. If it is installed correctly, the Ready light flashes three times.

450C 488CA 430

4 When you have finished replacing cartridges, lower the cover. If you wish, you can now check your cartridge alignment by running the Black Cartridge Alignment Routine (see page 54). However, this is normally only required for troubleshooting.

Maintaining your printer Cleaning the cartridge nozzles (priming)
Cleaning the cartridge nozzles (priming)
To prime a cartridge is to clear clogged print nozzles manually, by using the colored plunger at the left side of the printer. Some of the circumstances in which it is useful to prime a cartridge are explained in Chapter 9, Troubleshooting, but essentially, if you suspect that the nozzles of a cartridge are clogged, try priming that cartridge, as explained here. 1 Leave the printer switched on. If the print in which you noticed the problem is still being printed, you will be able to check the result of the priming in the latter part of the same print. So simply go to step 2 to interrupt the print.
If you try to prime a cartridge while the printer is switched off, you could damage the cartridges. 2 Open the cover. If necessary, wait for the cartridge carriage to move to the service station (the area on the left of the printer).
Plunger Selectors (450C and 488CA only)
Dont touch the plastic strip that runs the length of the printer behind the cartridge carriage. Keep hair, jewelry, clothing, and foreign objects away from the printer mechanisms. 77

3 Press the small colored selector in front of the cartridge which you want to prime.
4 Firmly press the large colored plunger fully down once, and then release it.
The plunger should return to its original position.
450C/488CA 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other cartridges to be primed.
Note. It is not necessary to return the selectors to their original positions. 6 Lower the cover. 7 If you interrupted the print, the printer now resumes it. Ignoring that part of the drawing immediately after the interruption (where print quality cannot be guaranteed), check the rest of the print to see if the problem has been resolved.

Pen Settings/Grayscale %. At the same time, make sure that Pen Settings are
set to Use settings from tables below, so that your softwares settings are overridden. Alternatively, replace the print cartridges (see page 72).
If ink smears after you remove a print
Be sure the ink is dry before you remove the sheet. For recommended ink-drying times, see page 225. When loading media, select the appropriate Media Type on the front panel. The printer may be operating in an area where the temperature and humidity are too high. For environmental specifications, see page 105.

Troubleshooting Solving miscellaneous problems
Handle media by the edges. If possible, wear gloves when you handle film. Skin oils can interact with ink and cause it to smear. Be careful not to get fiber particles onto the edge of the nozzle plate.
Solving miscellaneous problems
If the printer does not print
You may have a power problem. If there is no activity at all from the printer, and there are no lights on the front panel, check that the power cable is connected correctly and that there is power available at the socket. You may have a problem with your application driver. Is your software configured for this printer? For general advice, see Connecting to your application software on page 124. For advice specific to your software, see either the documentation supplied with the driver or a relevant Software Application Notes supplied with your printer. Is the Data light flashing on the printers front panel? If so, the file is too big for the printers memory.
Look at your computer screen for any error message: some drivers, for
example the Microsoft Windows driver supplied with your printer, enable you to choose a different printing mode and try to send the file again. In the case of the Microsoft Windows 95r driver shipped with the printer, the relevant field is called Process document in the Advanced dialog box.
If no other printing mode is available, or if your file still doesnt print, you
may need to consider obtaining a memory expansion module. For information on memory expansion modules, see page 1018. If you continue to have problems, see Getting help on page 917.
If the printer seems too slow
Ensure that the Media Type and Print Quality front-panel settings are appropriate. For an explanation of these settings, see page 28. If you are using the Microsoft Windows 95 driver shipped with the printer, search for help on Print speed, which will direct you to the Process document field in the Advanced dialog box. If you are using the Microsoft Windows 3.1 driver shipped with the printer, check the settings in the Print Setup / Options dialog box, where some of the settings impact printing speed, again referring to the on-screen help system for more advice. 916
