What is a .OMS file?
An .OMS file is a type of file used by HP printers, specifically models like the Latex and Scitex series. This file contains important settings called substrate presets, which help the printer understand how to print on different materials such as paper, textiles, parchment, and plastic. These settings include information like color profiles (ICC profiles), how much ink to use, how long to dry the ink, and settings for using a gloss enhancer.
To use an .OMS file, you can open it through the printer's embedded web server if your printer is connected to the internet. Here’s how you can do it: 1. **If your printer is connected to the internet:** - You can directly search, download, and install .OMS files using the printer's touchscreen interface.
2. **If your printer is not connected to the internet:** - First, you need to download the .OMS file from the HP Media Solutions Locator webpage on a computer that is connected to the internet. On this webpage, you can find various .OMS files that match your printer model and the type of material you are using. - Once the .OMS file is downloaded, you need to transfer it to your printer. Make sure your computer and printer are connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN). - Find your printer’s IP address by pressing the "Networking" icon on the printer’s front panel. - Enter this IP address into your web browser’s address bar and press Enter. This will bring up the printer’s embedded web server. - Click on the "Setup" tab, then select "Substrate presets management" and click on the "Import" tab. - Click on "Browse...", find the .OMS file you downloaded, select it, and then click "Open" followed by "Update".
These steps will load the new printing presets into your printer, allowing it to adjust its settings automatically for the best printing results on different materials. Remember, if you download .OMS files, they might be found in your computer's downloads folder.
