CP1215 color alignment

I have this printer and gradually the colors are more and more out of vertical alignment. Otherwise works great.

All advice appreciated.

Hi all

First, make sure that you have the latest firmware for the printer. If you print a configuration under printer information page, you will find the version of the Firmware datecode (see the link below to print the configuration page). The latest version is 20100201 (1 February 2010). You can find the firmware here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3422476&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us.

If you have the latest version of the firmware and you still get a bad alignment, also known as the color plan for registration and cannot correct with a calibration may first need to perform initialization of the NVRAM and then perform a calibration. This can take up to 3 calibrations to bring it into alignment.

Here is a document that explains the steps for a the NVRAM initialization: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01530306

Here is a document on how to print a configuration page and perform a calibration: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01530414

I hope this helps.

  • CP1525nw color alignment is off

    I had my CP1525nw for a few years.  Good summer.  Today, I noticed some colors

    Shading on an image.  To illustrate the problem, I have printed 6 1 "circles;

    Red, green, blue, yellow, cyan and magenta.  The blue circle has a clear magenta

    the shadow of. 05 "in the lower right corner.

    I turned off the printer, deleted and reinstalled the drivers with no improvement.

    I did cleaning and calibration.  I will receive a response.  Thanks, Dave

    I have read that this may be caused by a toner cartridge is low.  Changing the low cartridge can allow alignment complete.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - color alignment problem

    I'm having a problem with the alignment of different colors with my HP CP1518ni printer. Essentially colors don't print really in the same place, as the impression of Red (Magenta) is never aligned with black / yellow / Blue (Cyan) (so I can have the text in red with a black text shadow 0.5 to 1 mm below or blue with a red shadow of 0.5 to 1 mm at the top for example).

    Troubleshooting always just irritates me to calibrate, but I have many, many times over many months, calibrated and it does not help.

    Does anyone know of other solutions? Or should I buy a new Magenta cartridge and see what happens?

    My cartridges are:

    Magenta - CB543a

    Cyan - CB541a

    Yellow - CB542a

    Black - CB540a

    Make sure that you update to the latest Firmware.   HP recently released a newer version which helped with a more concise calibration with the alignment of color plan.   Many people have reported these problems solved after running the update.

    Hi dsouleles,

    I see that you have problems with the dark printing. I'd love to help you.

    You can adjust the brightness in the application you are printing from, if this isn't a problem with the hardware with the printer.

    You use windows built in driver or did you download the Plug-and-Play drivers?

    HP Color LaserJet Plug-and-Play package.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Try and print a self-test on the printer hardware to see if it is a hardware or software problem.

    Solving print quality problems. Go to eight Solution: print a configuration page. Is it printed correctly then it would be software related. Let me know the results and how to print the configuration page. Please go well the steps contained in the document. Unfortunately, you'll skip the steps of the box tool.

    If the problem is still related software, you can continue with the following steps:

    Make sure that the correct paper type is selected in the print driver and he is not in default to unspecified.

    Here is a document for the different features in the print driver. Use features in the Windows printer driver.

    What kind of paper do you use?

    Print and Scan doctor, you may have the option in the upper part, in one of the menus to run a diagnostic test, possibly cleaning and calibration of the printer. Try printing Scan Doctor for Windows and HP. Under how to use diagnostic and printer cleaning services?

  • LaserJet CP1215-printing color out of alignment

    Hello

    We have a laserjet CP1215 color and (I think since the replacement of the black cartridge) print colors out of alignment. It seems that only black ink is out of proportion with the other colors. Have tried various recalibration etc, but nothing has worked so far. I've been advised by our IT support company that it's a hardware problem.

    I was wondering if it was just a case of a questionable cartridge that needs to be changed, but we do not have a spare part for the moment so I didn't spend the money on a new if someone could suggest anything!

    I would be grateful for any help or suggestion.

    Thank you

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless: HP Officejet Pro 8500 W (A909g) 'alignment failed, refer to devicedocumentation for more details'

    I get a lack of alignment. I have replace the printheads and ink cartridges, but it always fails to align...

    The print quality test page print well and seems good... the line calabrate page break will print and look good...

    But when he tries to do the alingment... He quickly spit a page with only a few color line worm at the top of emphasise the full alignment... page after I spit that... He's sitting there for a few minutes... making his usual noise, but said failure.

    I did all three levels of print heads clean... Despite them being new...

    It will print things very well, but I get a monotube color alignment page after each draw with message of misalignment.

    Hey @ataktos,

    Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

    I see that your Officejet 8500 W gives you alignment failure messages. I can help with that.

    I found a document that can help you with troubleshooting. The document was intended for a slightly different question, but the diagnosis is the same. You can find it by clicking on this link.

    If this still does not resolve your problem, then we can try a factory reset the printer. I will send you a private message on how to reset the printer shortly. If you still have problems after that then the printer will have to be replaced. You can contact the HP Support by clicking this link. If you scroll down on the next page and fill out the form you will find the telephone number of HP.

    I hope this helps and I hope you have a nice day!

  • How to print without yellow toner cartridge in a hp CP1215 laser printer. I broke the yellow cartridge.

    I accidentally broke my brand new hp CP1215 Laser printer yellow cartridge. I just want to use only other colors like magenta and cyan etc. But the printer is not printing at all because there is no yellow cartridge.

    Is there a way to print using other colors such as magenta or cyan? I want to type text only (development) using these colors. I use Windows 7 Ultimate and hp CP1215 Color Laser printer.

    I would like to underline a text using magenta or cyan to show important points. I want to use the colors black, magenta and cyan in the text. Changing the settings to print only black and white can not do this.

    Unfortunately, you'll have to buy a yellow toner cartridge to solve the problem.

  • Aligning the print cartridges

    Range of printers all in one HP PSC 1315

    Since receiving Microsoft updates, my computer is no longer offers me HP programs e.g. HP Director, through which I used to do analysis. I can scan with the Microsoft program, so that no problem, but when I change an ink cartridge on the HP, a color alignment page is printed automatically but seems I do not have access to the program that checks the alignment after that I have place the alignment page of color on the plate of the printer. As I am unable to perform this alignment, the printer now prints another page of alignment of color whenever I turn it on.
    How can I make the alignment, or failing that, stop the printer to automatically print a color alignment page whenever I turn it on?
    I can't reload the driver programs or other software that I got when I bought the printer, as they were on diskette, and computers do not have floppy drive.
    Troubleshooting: I checked the control panel for the printer settings.

  • How to change color in CS5 only the font that I pointed out

    Hello

    I am a guardian of the computer, not a web developer. But I know HTML and created my own website using Dreamweaver 8. I just installed Dreamweaver CS5 and am immediately having my first problem:

    I want to change the color of text that I have highlighted on my home page. First of all, the change of the color seems more difficult. In Dreamweaver 8, there was a touch of color in the Properties section on the bottom, but now it seems that I have to click on Format to go through a series of steps, fill out the information. Is in any way simply choose a color (as you would in MS Word)?

    The biggest problem, however, is that when I change the color of the highlight text, half of the text on the page changes color as well. This never happened in Dreamweaver 8. I'm doing something wrong. Is there a way to fix this problem. All I want to do is change a text color without changing the entire Web page.

    If it helps you can consult my Web site home page: http://www.karathecomputertutor.com

    Thank you!

    Kara

    The color is always in the Properties window.  On the left side, the property was split into HTML and CSS.  CSS controls the color, alignment, style, etc., while the HTML controls bind attributes and other actions like that.

    Also, be careful with the CSS classes.  If other elements on the page using the same CSS class it will change the color of these elements as well.

    Unfortunately, because of all the differences in browsers and web design rendering is not as print layout where you can drag-and - drop and just wait until it is.  But like InDesign, you can define the classes (styles in InDesign) to reuse the styles on a page if you need to use more than once which makes it extensible simpler designs while before you need to reselect the same styles of colors/now you can simply assign the class to this piece of code and you're good to go.

  • Dynamic text / text entry format font color

    I have a single variable called firstname, and two text fields on the screen, a dynamic text at the top right to display the user name in a small gray font and a larger field of seizure in the middle of the screen. Both have the variable value to firstname, but each field is formatted differently (for example, color, font size, alignment).

    When I type the text in the larger field, the size/color/alignment of policies changes abruptly in the smaller field. How can I keep the formatting, but update only the variable?

    Auto Kern has not been verified.

    I didn't know how to get Flash to stop copying of text formatting and the text, but I found a simple solution.

    Do not give the text field variable names. Give them names of instance instead and run this command when you want to update the value of one with the content of the other:

    myTextField1.text = myTextField2.text;

    Which copy the text, not the formatting.
