Using the Edge-to-Edge calibration page

The following instructions that appear on the calibration page assist you in calibrating the

HP LaserJet 8150 printer’s paper trays for Edge-to-Edge printing.

Modifying the Shift Value:

1. Examine the lines placed on the left and right side of this page.

2. Find the picture below which is the closest match to the lines printed on this page

and note the shift value listed below the selected picture.

3. Press the Menu +/- key until "PAPER HANDLING MENU" appears on the control

panel.

4. Press the Item +/- key until "CONFIGURE EDGE TO EDGE=" appears.

5. Press the Value +/- key until the "CONFIGURE EDGE TO EDGE=YES" appears.

6. Press the Select key (to turn on the ability to configure the tray margins).

7. Press the Item +/- key until "TRAY n SHIFT=NONE" appears.

8. Press the Value +/- key until the value on the control panel matches the value

selected in Step 2.

9. Press the Select key (to save the new shift value).

NOTE: In step 7, the 'n' should be replaced with the number of

the paper tray from which the test page was printed.

Always On mode

Continuous or excessive use of the Edge-to-Edge feature might eventually result in toner

deposited off the page, accumulating inside the printer on rollers/gears, and causing print

quality issues. For this reason, the Edge-to-Edge feature is designed by default to be only

turned on for a single job, and then automatically turned off at the end of the job.

Edge-to-Edge settings in the printer drivers will always override the Edge-to-Edge

settings of the HP LaserJet 8150 control panel. An Edge-to-Edge override set to YES

should be used only when you cannot use the printer driver’s control of the feature, such

as in a UNIX operating environment.
