5. Wait for the front panel to show an IP address. 6. Check the printer's network configuration from the HP Internal Print Server (see the Installation guide). Upgrade the HP Internal Print Server TIP: When you have to upgrade the firmware and the HP Internal Print Server, first upgrade the firmware and then the HP Internal Print Server. To upgrade the HP Internal Print Server, proceed as follows. 1. First uninstall the current version through the Control Panel. Doing so will delete the current job in the queue, but not the RIP files. 2. Unzip the .ZIP 2 file (two files to be extracted: HPIPS.msi and setup.exe) to a location on a physical hard drive (not to the Desktop). 3. Run the setup.exe program of the new version of the HP Internal Print Server. 4. Once installed, open the HP Internal Print Server, and select Tools > Preferences, then enter the printer's IP address.

Color calibration fails

, which can be caused by various different
problems.
Reflective color measurements of the printed target cannot be performed reliably on the current
substrate. Reflective color measurement can be unreliable or impossible on substrates that are
non-white, transparent or translucent, very glossy, or have a very rough or punched surface. For
these substrates, automated color calibration using the HP Embedded Spectrophotometer may
not be possible; see the table of supported substrate types in the
User's guide
. Adjustment of ink
restrictions is still possible using the HP Internal Print Server.
Some of the color measurements of the Closed-Loop Color Calibration and Ink Restriction Test
Chart are defective, or the scanning of the fiducial marks (the big black

These problems can be caused by:
Unwanted stains or printhead crash marks on the substrate, that can be easily seen by
