HP Latex 360 Printer - Manual (Page 81)

1.
On the printer's front panel, press , then Take-up reel.
The printer allows you to move the substrate to facilitate cutting.
2. Switch the winding-direction switch to the off position. The switch is in the off position when it is
centered (in other words, when the switch is neither in position 1 nor position 2).
3. To remove the tension bar, first lift the support, then press the lever.
4. Use the winding button on the take-up reel motor to wind the excess substrate around the take-up reel.
5. Cut the substrate with scissors.
6. While holding the substrate, use the winding button on the take-up reel motor to wind the remainder of
the substrate around the take-up reel.
7. Unlock the take-up reel by pushing its lever to the uppermost position.
8. Remove the take-up reel from the printer, pulling out the end on the right side of the printer first.
9. To remove the roll from the printer after you have unloaded the take-up reel, see Unload a roll from the
printer on page 66 .
Double-sided printing (360 only)
The printer can be used to print on both sides of the substrate, in the following way.
NOTE: The print should be at least 28 cm (11 in) wide, otherwise the printer will not be able to find the
reference line when printing the second side.
Outline
1. Tell the printer or the RIP that you intend to print on both sides.
Double-sided printing can be selected in your RIP software or at the printer's front panel. The RIP
setting takes precedence: if double-sided printing is explicitly turned on or off in the RIP software, the
front panel setting is ignored.
2. The printer prints the content that you want to appear on the first side. After each job, the printer prints
a black reference line that is used to align the matching job on the second side.
3. After all side A jobs have been printed, cut and unload the substrate.
4. Reload the cut substrate upside down and starting at the end. The reference line marking the end of the
first side should be face down and near the leading edge.
5. The printer finds the reference line, and uses it to start printing the second side in the right place.
NOTE: If you try to move the substrate while printing on either side, the front panel asks for confirmation,
because any such movement prevents correct alignment between the two sides.
