● Paper type you have selected ● Roll or sheet status ● Width of the paper in millimeters (estimated) ● Length of the paper in millimeters (estimated) If no paper is loaded, the message Out of paper is displayed. The same information is displayed in the HP Utility for Windows (Overview tab > Supplies Status tab), the HP Utility for Mac OS X (Information group > Printer Status > Supplies Details) and the Embedded Web Server (upper-right corner). Paper presets Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each paper type. This description is called the paper preset. The paper preset contains the ICC profile, which describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related to color. Existing paper presets for your printer are already installed in the printer's software. However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer contains paper presets only for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which your printer has no preset, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display. There are two ways to assign a preset for a new paper type. ● Import a paper preset that you have downloaded from the Web. See To install a downloaded paper preset on page 43. ● Create your own paper preset using the HP Color Center. See To create your own paper preset on page 44. NOTE: You can use a maximum of 30 custom and additional paper types. To delete a custom or additional paper preset, go to the Color Center and select Paper Preset Management > Delete Paper Preset. Paper presets provided with your printer cannot be deleted. To install a downloaded paper preset 1. After finding the right paper preset at http://www.hp.com/go/Z5400ps/paperpresets or at the paper manufacturer's Web site, click the Download Now button and save the paper preset (".oms" file) on your computer. NOTE: If you do not find the paper preset you want on the Web, you may find that it has been added to the latest firmware for your printer. You can check the firmware release notes for information, see Update the firmware on page 108. 2. Before starting to install the new preset, make sure that the printer is idle and the print queue is stopped. Installing a new paper preset will interrupt any printing that is in progress. 3. Start the HP Utility or the Embedded Web Server. ● In the HP Utility, select the Color Center and then Import Paper Preset. ● In the Embedded Web Server, select the Setup tab, then Paper preset management, then the Import tab. 4. On the Import page, select the paper preset file that you downloaded in step 1. ENWW Paper presets 43
