HP Color LaserJet 2600n - Calibrating the printer
Calibrating the printer
The printer automatically calibrates at various times. Adjust the calibration settings
by using the HP Toolbox.
Environmental differences or aging print cartridges might cause fluctuations in image
density. The printer accounts for this with image stabilization control. The printer
automatically calibrates at various times to maintain the highest level of print quality. Also request a calibration by using the HP Toolbox.
The printer does not interrupt a print job to calibrate. It waits until the job is complete before
calibrating or cleaning. While the printer is calibrating, it pauses printing for the time that is
required to complete the calibration.
Calibrate the printer at the control panel of the printer
Press the 
(LEFT ARROW) or 
(RIGHT ARROW) button until the display
reads System setup

(SELECT). Press the
(LEFT ARROW) or
(RIGHT ARROW) button until the display reads Print quality
