HP Latex 210 Printer - Manual (Page 67)

Setting Description If too low If too high
Cutter The printer's built-in cutter can
cut the substrate automatically
between each print. Disable the cutter in the following cases:
● You want to increase the speed of printing.
● You want to use the take-up reel.
● You want to cut the substrate manually.
● The leading edge of the substrate tends to curl and cause
substrate jams.
In some cases, the cutter is automatically disabled.
Auto tracking
(OMAS) The substrate-advance sensor
(also known as the Optical
Media Advance Sensor, OMAS)
is located under the print platen;
it can track the substrate
advance automatically. Disable the sensor in the following cases:
● The substrate allows ink to pass through to the platen. Clean
the sensor after using this substrate.
● You are instructed to do so by the front panel, because the
sensor is dirty or unable to track this particular substrate.
Load the substrate and print the diagnostic plot
1. Load the substrate in the normal way, paying particular attention to the following points.
● The stop at the right-hand end of the spindle has two possible positions on the spindle.
Always use the leftmost position if possible. Use the rightmost position only if the substrate roll
requires the full width of the spindle.
● Turn off the substrate-advance sensor (OMAS) in the RIP if the substrate is transparent or
dark, or if the printer recommends you to do so.
● Align the printheads.
2. Open the HP diagnostic chart in the RIP. The chart is stored in your printer, at http://ip-addr/
hp/device/webAccess/images/new.tif, where ip-addr is the IP address of your printer.
You can also find it at http://www.hp.com/go/L26500/manuals/
3. Select a suitable number of passes for the substrate family. See Select the number of passes
on page 66 .
4. Print the plot.
