Get full use of the color M475 MFP toner

On my M475 MFP, when the black toner cartridge is low, the printer tells me but keep while printing that reduces print quality.  Then change the black cartridge when I judge that the print quality has sufficiently decreased.  Being a frugal guy and a control freak, I like it.

It isn't the same way with the color toner cartridges.  When a color cartridge arrives at a certain low level (about?), the printer forces color to print grayscale images and forces me to change the cartridge color before it will print in color once again.

I have a few questions about this:

(1) is there a way I can force the printer to not convert to grayscale printing and rather keep printing in color and let me judge when the color quality decreases enough to change the color cartridge?

(2) how the color toner level report work - it is true measurement, or is it estimate?  The on-screen or printed report documentation speaks estimates developed during the first 20% of the use of the cartridge.  My question is more precisely, when the printer tells me a color cartridge is low, is this really low cartridge or it is just an estimate?

The reason why I have the second question is that I do the big flood of printing in black and white and I have the opportunity to print in color.  It seems that the color cartridges last as long as they should.  If the printer is the estimated level of toner of color based on the total number of printed pages, even when these pages do not use color, so it would seem that my printing in black and white is falsely causing a decline in the estimation of color toner remaining and ends by forcing me to prematurely replace colour cartridges before they really empty.

Also expensive that the toner cartridges are, if I can't go to a measuring system for color toner level or leave the cartridges of color to really run out as opposed to the printer forcing print in grayscale at a certain level of toner color estimated, then I prefer to buy a black printer only for printing in black and white and extend the life of the color cartridges of this way.

All expertise, ideas or suggestions welcomed.  Thanks in advance.

According to the manual this printer User Guide :

When a color cartridge becomes very low, the product prints black only to avoid interruptions of fax.

To configure the product to print in color and use the remaining toner in the print spent very low cartridge, follow these steps:

In the homescreen of the Control Panel, press the Setup button.

Open the following menus:

  • The system configuration
  • Power settings
  • Color cartridges
  • Very low setting
  • Continue

When you choose to replace the very small print cartridge, color printing automatically resumes.

Don't know how the level of toner detection, but I guess it's some sort of estimate.

  • How can I make Windows Media Center play 21-2 (CBS)? He gets full signal on the search, but does not play.

    The station sister 21 - 1 plays very well. He asks to "frequency" add channel, however, I can only assume that the frequency of 2 numbers is the same 21 found already. Now what? Microsoft sent to HP, which has no support for WMC questions... by their staff in India.

    It's Windows 7, Windows Media Center, the TV Tuner Hauppauge USB Q 950 running.

    I am in Dallas, Texas. The station reads like T2D KTXA and KTXA DT 21-1 to 21-2... which is what WMC pulls upwards with you run the installer for my zip code.

    However, 21-2 is in the CBS reality, KTVT, 11.

    There is some confusion in my mind, as to what the frequency should be, having once been 19 and then received 11 temporarily, etc..

    I tried to get 21, 19 and 11 as the frequency, but WMC will play whatever it is facing 19 or 11 and will play again only 21-1 when I get 21 as the frequency for 21-2 (when I try to add it).

    I don't know what the reason for this problem, but I know there are across the country, in other markets, with WMC did not play all of the signals that it recognizes, even when they are large network signals OTA.

    I hope anyone in the DFW area, has experienced this problem and know the exact fix so I can view the CBS programming, for which I seem to have perfect signal, but can not get of WMC to play.

    Thank you!

  • HP Color Laserjet M277n MFP: How to use the black cartridges only when the color toners are empty

    Hello team HP,

    I recently bought a HP Color Laserjet MFP M277n I printer I print black & white user only and really don't need color prints. How to set the printer options to print only black & white? How can I replace only the black cartridge when the color cartridges are empty? How many prints (approximate), we can take by toner?

    Kind regards

    Christèle

    Hi @Pavumba,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand you're wondering how to use black ink only on your HP Color Laserjet M277n MFP printer. I would be glad to help and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I see that you wonder if you need to replace the color cartridge when it is low. This printer is a printer AIO, therefore, you need to replace the ink cartridge when it becomes too weak to be able to resume printing. However, if you print mostly in black, you can configure a preset black only to print in black and white. This would help reduce the use of the color cartridges.

    NOTE: Composite black - for black and white images and photos, a mix of colors called 'composite black' can be used to achieve the quality significantly improved picture and soft gray tones that can be achieved with only black toner. For users who want to print images using just black toner, many HP printers color customer offer configurable options allowing the client to print using only black toner. For example, by selecting "print in grayscale" in the printer driver Specifies print using black ink only. For more information about the use of the toner cartridges, please see this article: how the Toner is used.

     
  • Using the color picker to the linear gradient does not

    Sorry for the bad English, I really don't know how to ask this question tbh.

    I'm doing a degraded, object using four colors that I put in place. I did four arrows to the linear gradient bar, but the second, I use the color picker to add the right color, changing the bar of solid colorand gradient bar disappear. I tried many things and scoured the internet to find answers, but can't find anything about this problem. I'm this Adobe Illustrator Gradient GOLD text, logo - YouTube video and this is the stage at 03:07 that does everything just for me. I would appreciate help!

    Thank you

    Rather than put into squares colors use color chart & global colors (indicated by a white triangle at the bottom of the swatch)

    To apply the nuance to a point of gradient is easy. You select the point of gradient (indicated by a black triangle above the point of gradient). ALT then click a color in the Swatches palette to fill this gradient.

    If you use global colors, you can easily double, click a shade and change colors and all uses of the color update.

    Here, I've added 44 black to make the Green darker.

    World Vision automatically adjusts the point of gradient.

  • Color Laserjet MFP M277DW Pro: scan to pdf corrupted

    I use Nitro PDF, and every time that I scan to PDF it is said the first page was damaged and has been repaired.   But it is empty, no content on page 1. This will happen if I use the shipper of record or the screen.  I just bought a new laptop, and there was this problem on my old laptop as well.  Scan to JPEG works but then have to take the extra step to convert the JPEG to PDF and it's a hassle.  Why the first page is always corrupt?

    Hello

    Do you have installled of Adobe Reader on your PC? (even if not used as the default viewer)?

    As you can find the system requirements below, it is part of the configuration required to make full use of the printer:

  • Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro: MFP M277dw unable to connect to wifi

    I just bought the Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro, and I can't connect to wifi. I have it connected via a USB cable and it works fine, it's just that I can't seem to connect to my wifi. The wifi seems fine, just connect my existing devices right (MacBook, iPhone, iPad). It finds the network, but it seems to expire when I put the password to connect.

    Hi @StephanieB2,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you are having problems with the networking of the printer. I want to help you solve this problem. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    It's really weird that the printer is expire when you put the network password.

    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.

    You can also configure the printer on the wireless network, thanks to the Wi - Fi Direct connection.

    Tap the icon on the screen of the printer wireless.

    Select the Wi - Fi Direct connection.

    Turn it on, if it isn't already, and if there is a code it marks down.

    Then on the Mac, go to the airport icon and connect to the network printer. (Direct 69 HP Laserjet M277)

    If requested a code or password, put the one you noted.

    Then open Safari and type 192.168.223.1.

    He will be responsible: the printer Web server integrated.

    Click the network tab.

    On the left side of the window, select Wireless Network Configuration and fill your information.

    Apply the settings.

    Can connect you to your network.

    Then add the printer.

    Click on the Apple menu, click System Preferences.
    Scanners & printers, then click the plus sign +.

    Select the printer in the list.

    Select your printer from the drop-down and click on the Add button.

    Test the printer.

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.

  • Other driver for the LaserJet Pro MFP printer

    Can anyone suggest another driver for a Mac Mini (OS X 10.4.11) print on a LaserJet MFP M127fw PRO?

    Hi @suckerfish1,.

    I understand that you are looking for drivers for the 10.4 to use with the PRO LaserJet MFP M127fw. I can help you with this.

    Unfortunately 10.4, is not a supported operating system, there are no drivers available.

    Here are the supported Mac OS X operating systems: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X v10.7 Lion, v10.8 OS X Mountain Lion.

    HP LaserJet Pro MFP Color LaserJet MFP printers specifications M177fw Pro and M127fw.

  • 'Save for web' and PS issues touch the color?

    Thanks to those who help on my last request.

    Another thing I couldn't see, is how I can maybe 'save for web', similar to that in the full program of the elements. A handy feature that I can't not far back in the Touch program.

    Maybe this isn't a feature included, because I do not know there had to be several Cup back to facilitate the price of the touch program.

    I use the installation of 'filler' for the background to get the color as close to my site I can get.  The problem is that when I format the following image on my list, the color, I selected previously is no longer listed, so have to use the slider to get to back to the color.

    Is there a way I can save my colors, or better yet use colors 'web '?

    I think the thing about web colors in the elements is so that the color is the same view of any monitor, for example a customer looks at one of my Web site? Or of course I could be very wrong here!

    Thanks for any input.

    Post edited by: blackleyk

    In elements I use 'Save for web' and select the background color as CC99CC - for example, it would be the same thing every time.

    Whereas it is in contact, this does not seem possible?

    Customize your color to 1

    Once finished, press 2

    Press 3 to add color to your palette. This color should be available next time. (Don't forget to type 2. This is where your custom colors are stored).

    As far as the "web safe" colors go, the best thing to do is to use the icon between 1 and 2 and specify RGB and enter the values associated with the colors of the secure web. You can then create a palette using the method above. (TIP: to get rid of colors in a palette, just off flick.)

  • How can I change the colors of fonts that I add to my movies?

    Hi all

    I have a simple question. I have a loot of VHS tapes I've had since Adam was a boy. I've been working my way through them and their conversion into DVD. This is probably very different from what most people use the software for. I've been using iMovie HD until it was more compatible, then Final Cut Express.

    Did not go for a while and decided that I should start using Final Cut Pro. After a few days of fiddling, I'm at the stage where I'm ready to try to make a film I did before (do not take risk). The only thing I can't work on is to know how to change the color of all fonts that I use. So far, all I can use is the color that comes with the model. I want to change because I use my own back grounds. A white font on a light background is a bit difficult to read.

    It was not hard to get that I did. One of the most polite things said about it was when Apple released it it should have been called iMovie HD Pro. I do not disagree with that.

    That's people, thanks for any help you can give. If there are textbooks that would be useful any suggestion would be appreciated.

    See you soon,.

  • Not created using AI PMS colors

    1. I had a designer to create a logo with I. I sent the source file of the logo on a printer to use for business cards and stationery. I learned that the colors of the logo cannot be exactly replicated for more information on maps and fixed, because they weren't the PMS colors. It's hard for me to believe because there the source file and the software HERE. I need to find a better printer or is it correct? Thank you

    Yes.  By selecting items in the logo itself and get a reading in the color palette.
