paper. You can manually resume the job, forcing it to print on a paper other than the one originally
specified, otherwise it will stay on hold.
Which criteria are used to decide on which roll a job will be
printed?
When a user sends a job, the desired paper type can be set (in the driver or in the Embedded Web
Server). The printer will print the job on a roll of paper of the chosen paper type that is large enough to
print the drawing without clipping. If there is more than one roll on which the job could be printed
meeting all the criteria, the roll will be chosen according to your preferences. These can be set from the
front panel: see Roll switching options on page 27 .
When is a job put on hold for paper?
If the paper mismatch action is set to Put job on hold (see Paper mismatch action on page 26 ), a job
is put on hold for paper in the following cases:
● The paper type that has been selected by the user is not currently loaded on the specified roll—or
on either of the rolls, if no roll has been specified.
● The paper type that has been selected by the user is loaded on the specified roll, but the drawing
is too large to fit on the roll—or on either of the rolls, if no roll has been specified.
If I load a new roll of paper, will jobs that were on hold for paper
be automatically printed?
Yes. Every time a new roll of paper is loaded, the printer will check if there are any jobs on hold for
paper that could be printed on the loaded roll.
I don’t like jobs being put on hold for paper. Can I prevent it?
Yes, this can be done from the front panel: see Paper mismatch action on page 26 .
I set the option “Paper mismatch action” to Print anyway, but
some jobs are still put on hold
If the Show print preview option is selected in the driver or the Embedded Web Server, jobs are
put on hold until you have checked the preview and resumed the job. Check that the Show print
preview option is not checked in the driver, and that there are no pending preview windows waiting
for confirmation to continue printing.
My job is exactly as wide as the roll of paper that is loaded on the
printer, but is put on hold for paper
Margins are managed in different ways depending on the file type:
● For HP-GL/2 and HP RTL files, by default, margins are included inside the drawing, so a 914 mm
(36 in) HP-GL/2 and HP RTL file can be printed on a 914 mm (36 in) roll of paper and will not be
put on hold for paper.
● For other file formats, such as PostScript, PDF, TIFF or JPEG, the printer assumes that margins need
to be added outside the drawing (as, in many cases, these formats are used for photographs and
