HP Latex 3000 Printer - Manual (Page 35)

● The roll-to-free-fall configuration is suitable when you want to cut and remove one or more prints as
soon as they come out of the printer. The substrate is kept under tension between the input roll and the
tension roller; but it can be cut after the tension roller because then it is no longer under tension.
● The roll-to-collector configuration is suitable when you may want to cut the substrate and remove the
output roll before finishing the print job being done using a particular input roll. The substrate is kept
under tension between the input roll and the tension roller; but it can be cut after the tension roller
because then it is no longer under tension.
Prepare to print
The following steps must be followed before the printer can print:
1. Go to the Internal Print Server and select Substrate Load/Unload to open the Printer Configuration
window.
2. Select the printer configuration that you intend to use; the on-screen help will appear on the left.
NOTE: The Skip Substrate load check box should be checked only if the printer has just previously
had the same configuration (i.e. the same substrate, same profile), and because of a severe system
error, you had to restart the printer.
3. Load the substrate. Substrate loading instructions are displayed in the Internal Print Server window. For
more detailed instructions, see
Load a roll onto the spindle on page 43 and Load a roll into the printer
on page 45 .
