Most process swatch books will have a note on what process standards were used to print the swatch book. In most cases, they will be SWOP, EURO, or DIC. To get optimal color matching to the process swatch book, select the corresponding ink emulation from the printer menu. If you cannot identify the process standard, use SWOP ink emulation.

The following topics are covered: Managing supplies Replacing supplies and parts Cleaning the printer Configuring e-mail alerts ENWW 107 Managing supplies Using, storing, and monitoring print cartridges can help ensure quality printer output. Supplies life The life of the print cartridge depends on usage patterns and the amount of toner that print jobs require. For example, when printing text at 5 percent coverage, an HP print cartridge lasts an average of 4, 000 or 6, 000 pages, depending on the printer model. (A typical business letter is about 5 percent coverage. ) Cartridge life expectancy is reduced by frequently printing many 1- or 2-page jobs, heavy coverage, and automatic duplexing. At any time, you can verify the life expectancy by checking the print cartridge life. See Checking the print cartridge life for more information.
