Automatic measures only 1 color ink (modification of the script)
Hi all
I need to modify this script as well as bring the measure already in are... PANTONE Pantone 485 (solid coated),
I need to change this string, but do not know how...
Thank you very much
line color measurement
var color = new RGBColor; How to change it, to the ink pantone...?
255 = Color.Green;
0 = Color.Blue;

As a first step, you must necessarily swatches Pantone in your document.
Then it's easy:
Change this:
// measurement line color var color = new RGBColor; color.green = 255; color.blue = 0;
to do this:
// measurement with Pantone line color var color = doc.swatches.getByName('Pantone 485 C').color
That's all.

JavaScript is not a standard feature, so you'll have to make your own:

OfficeJet Pro 8600 always in color ink
I have 4 computers, printing on this printer and I put printing preferences on all levels of grey: black ink only, yet I am still uses ink of color for a reason any. All faxes and copies that are made on the machine are in BLACK. Please help me understand this. Y at - it a setting I'm missing?
There are a few things to check. Some ink will be used to keep the "plumbing" and clear print heads. If you never run cleaning cycles (in the front panel or computer palette) ink will use black and all colors. If the printer is off of an external switch that will serve the most ink - the printer must always be connected to a live outlet. Finally, when you automatically print duplex some color ink will be used on the first page to set the ink more quickly so that the ink will not smear when the page is pulled back into the printer.
The document described here how the ink is used. In the terminology of this document the 8600 Officejet Pro is an IIC printer.

Is it possible to embed a color profile when using the assets to generate?
I'm looking for a command to integrate the profile of my production of images with generator anywhere and I'm not having any luck. Anyone know if this is possible? So far, my only work-around is to assign the script profile, but what to do with thousands of png is taken way too long. Please tell me there is a simple bit of syntax, that I can add to my folder names.
Thank you!
I don't think that the format file used by the generator code can currently include a color profile.

How to use out of the black cartridge for everything I print (I do not want to use ANY) color ink.
Hi TJBar,
This link should give you the information you need to explain the menu print, print menus. In order to print in black only, you can select "print in black and white." Note, however, that color will be used during maintenance of your printer. This is necessary to prevent the healthy color ink for when you do not need to use it.
Please let me know if it helps.
Thank you very much

Is it possible to print with the cartridge color only if the black cartridge is low or outside? I have the HP Envy 4500 e All in One... What can I do?
Hello
You can use the color ink only by removing the small black cartridge.
You can find the next steps in his guide of the user as a reference:
Use single-cartridge
Use single-cartridge use the HP ENVY 4500 series with only one cartridge. The
mode Single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of ink cartridges.

HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415 can only you by default for all print in black to save color ink?
My impression is text I want to print using black ink only. I tried using shades of gray, but ran out of all my color cartridges and still have 70% of black left! Is there a way to get the printer to use only black ink, unless I said to use the color (for photos) so that my color ink will last longer?
If you use the "Print in grayscale" checkbox in the properties of the printer, which will force the printer to use only the black toner. You can check by looking at the page printed under magnification.
Of course if your photos are full page that will use much more ink than, say, 5 x 7. If you are printing photos on glossy paper rather than the typical plain paper, which will tend to use a little more toner. Keep in mind that yields of the cartridge is based on the coverage is low (such as text), and the photos have a much higher than the text coverage. I'm curious about how many photos and what size, don't you think that you have printed this year?

Only 1 HP Officejet Pro 8000 color ink prints

Hello RobertHuntley.
The last option would be to contact Customer Service to see if there is something else that the printhead causing the problem. I've included a link to the contact information for your printer.
I wish you the best. Sorry I couldn't do more to help.

all ink has expired. can I buy only black ink and print n & b with hp Vivera printer, photosmart 3210 all-in-one
and black and white printing only with color expired ink in there?
Hi @peanut7949,
I believe, with this model, you can continue printing with inks has expired. That being said, if you replace only the black ink and continue to print with others (expired), it should be fine.
Here's what I could find on the subject:
Each ink cartridge has an expiration date to protect the printing system and ensure a good quality ink. The cartridge expiration date appears on line 53 of the free test report. -
OfficeJet Pro 6830: color ink is not printing
We just received our 6830 Officejet Pro a few months ago and feel sometimes but not often. Yesterday when I tried to print, printed only black things on the page. None of the colorful text printed at all - not even in a different color or a shade - so it appears none of the color ink cartridges has been used. The printer indicates that all four cartridges are about 50% full.
Things that I've checked or tried:
The computer has the choice of the color selected.
Color copy gives the same result - no color.
I checked the vents and they don't seem to be blocked. I stuffed them with a needle just to be safe.
I hit the bottom of the cartridges where the ink comes out and ink on my fingers. They are not dry.
I'd clean the print heads.
I tried putting the printer off, and then restarting the computer.
The "test page" and the "print quality diagnostics page" do not print with any color either.
The printer indicates that it not there no new updates.
Color printing perfectly fine a few weeks ago, no sign cartridges drying up. It is under warranty, but it's our third of these printers and really, I prefer not to be yet another replacement if it is possible to solve this problem! (The first two were a high pitched noise all the time while it is plugged). Thanks in advance for advice.
After the execution of the cycle 'cleaning print head' repeatedly, the color ink is now working!

Color ink cartridge exhausted more quickly
Hello
I recently bought 2515 HP color inkjet printers. The color cartridge is depleted fast [60 printed pages] even under fast draft with impressions of color cover 25%. While HP promises 160 pages per color cartridge when purchasing this product. In fact, this model is known ink printer advantage!.
Can someone help me?
Hello
That is expected for a 25% coverage of color print, HP promises about 200 printing pages with a tricolor 650 ink cartridge color based on ISO 24711, which is equivalent to an average of 5% coverage per page, taking into account the high ink coverage you described quite should be terminated after fewer pages.You can learn more about how ink usage is measured in the following article:

Tek MSO4104 - Programatically display automatic measurements
I am trying to program my MSO4104 Tek to display programmatically automatic measures, such as the peak-to-peak amplitude, etc.. I can do on the front panel of the range, and I can read back the values I want via VISA, however, I can't find the command to add measures to the screen on the field programmatically.
Let me rephrase... I think that the only way that would work to simulate the front and button keys running using the VISA controls: "FPanel: Press ' and 'FPanel:Turn'... but it's medium heavy... it seems that it MUST be a single command to add an automatic measurement of the Pk2Pk to the screen!
