HP Designjet 8000 Printer series - Manual (Page 184)

Parameters:
● YES — the edge guard is used.
● NO — the edge guard is not used.
Media advance mode (MEDIA ADV MODE)
Use this option to set a media advance mode for the selected media type.
Parameters:
● FWD ONLY — Media is fed through the printer in the standard way.
● BACK & FWD — This setting checks that the media moves freely through the media path by feeding
the media backwards and forwards before starting to print. This can be useful for media with adhesive
coating that, in combination with the heat, may stick to the platen.
NOTE BACK & FWD can cause image banding.
Take-up reel mode (TUR MODE)
Use this option to set the take-up reel winding mode for the selected media type. You must set the take-
up reel winding switch to the same setting as this option. See How do I…
Use the take-up reel .
Parameters:
● LOOSE — Media hangs loosely after printing and is then gathered on to the take-up reel.
● TENSION — Media is gathered on to the take-up reel while printing is going on.
Tip TENSION is the recommended take-up reel mode particularly when printing on long
roll media. This helps to reduce the risk of media skew.
NOTE If you see banding, perform the Media Advance calibration in the mode that you
are using. See How do I calibrate my printer .
