Roll switching policy
If the printer has two rolls of paper and it receives a job that could be printed on either roll, it will normally
print on the currently loaded roll because there is no reason to change.
However, if the current roll is much wider than the job requires, to print on the current roll will mean some
waste of paper. If the other roll is narrower, but wide enough for the job, then paper can be saved by
printing the job on the other roll.
In these circumstances, the roll switching policy determines whether the printer changes to the narrower
roll or continues to print on the wider roll.
To set the roll switching policy at the printer's front panel, select the icon, then Paper handling
options > Roll switching options. There are two options:
● Minimize paper waste means that, in the above circumstances, the printer will change to the
narrower roll.
● Minimize roll changes means that, in the above circumstances, the printer will continue to print
on the current roll.
