After printing, the paper has wrinkles or there is too much ink

Reduce the quantity of ink, or use thicker paper. Matte paper categories from thinnest to thickest are:

Plain Paper

Coated Paper

Heavyweight Coated Paper

Super Heavyweight Plus Matte Paper

TIP:

If you load paper that is slightly thicker than the paper type you selected, the printer will use less ink

than usual for the loaded paper.

For other print-quality problems, see

Troubleshooting print-quality issues on page 157

The printer printed on the wrong paper type

If the printer prints your job before you were able to load your desired paper, you may have Any or Use

printer settings selected for the Paper Type in the printer driver. In this case, the printer will print

immediately on whichever paper is loaded. Load your desired paper, see

Paper handling on page 44

, and

select your paper type specifically in the driver.

In the Windows driver dialog: select the Paper/Quality tab, then select your paper type from the Paper

Type list.

In the Mac OS X Print dialog: select the Paper/Quality panel, then select your paper type from the

Paper Type list.

NOTE:

The driver default is Any for Mac OS and Use printer settings for Windows; they have the same

effect.

An “on hold for paper” message

Based on a set of conditions that you can set when sending a job to a two-roll printer (see

Paper mismatch

action on page 23

), the printer will decide which of the loaded rolls of paper is more suitable to print the job.

If there is no roll of paper available that meets all the conditions, the printer will put the job on hold for

paper. You can manually resume the job, forcing it to print on a paper other than the one originally specified,

otherwise it will stay on hold.

Which criteria are used to decide on which roll a job will be printed?

When a user sends a job, the desired paper type can be set (in the driver or in the Embedded Web Server). The

printer will print the job on a roll of paper of the chosen paper type that is large enough to print the drawing

without clipping. If there is more than one roll on which the job could be printed meeting all the criteria, the

roll will be chosen according to your preferences. These can be set from the front panel: see

Roll switching

options (T1500 series) on page 23

.

When is a job put on hold for paper?

If the paper mismatch action is set to Put job on hold (see

Paper mismatch action on page 23

), a job is put on

hold for paper in the following cases:

The paper type that has been selected by the user is not currently loaded on the specified roll—or on

either of the rolls, if no roll has been specified.

The paper type that has been selected by the user is loaded on the specified roll, but the drawing is too

large to fit on the roll—or on either of the rolls, if no roll has been specified.
