Embedded Web Server settings override front panel settings. The combination of paper type and

print-quality settings tells the printer how to place the ink on the paper—for example, the ink

density and halftoning method. See

Select print quality on page 79

.

Although the ink systems that are supplied with this printer have good light-fastness, colors will

eventually fade or change if exposed to sunlight over a long period of time

If the paper type shown on the front panel does not correspond to the paper that you intend to

use, take one of the following actions:

Reload the roll into the printer and select the correct paper type. See

Unload a roll from the

printer on page 34

and

Load a roll into the printer on page 30

.

Use the Embedded Web Server or the HP Utility to reconfigure the paper type for the roll.

At the printer's front panel, select the

icon, and then select View loaded paper >

Change paper type.

NOTE:

The paper advance calibration is not performed when the paper type is changed

from the frnt panel.

Drying time

With some paper types and under certain environmental conditions, the ink needs some time to dry

before the paper is unloaded. The following settings are available for each paper type:

Automatic: the printer automatically determines the appropriate drying time, based on the paper

you have selected and the current temperature. If any drying time is required, a “drying time to

go” countdown appears on the front panel.

Extended: the default drying time is extended. This can be used if you find that the default

drying time is sufficient to dry the ink.

Reduced: the default drying time is reduced. This can be used if you want to get prints as fast as

possible, and you find that the reduced drying time causes no significant problem in your

environment.

None: no drying time is provided. This can be used, for example, if you are manually removing

the prints as quickly as the printer is producing them.

Manual: this allows you to specify the drying time (in seconds).

To change the drying time, see

Change the drying time on page 37

.

Supported paper types

The following table lists the most common HP paper types that are suitable for use with your printer,

and shows the name that you should select on the front panel when loading each paper type. If you

want to use an HP paper that does not appear on the front panel, go to

http://www.hp.com/go/

designjet/supplies

and download the appropriate paper preset. You only need to download a preset

once; the printer stores it for future use and it subsequently appears in the front panel .

For the part numbers, widths, and weights of these papers, see

Order paper on page 39

.

NOTE:

This list is likely to change over the course of time. For the latest information, visit
