NOTE This topic applies to the HP Designjet 4000 Printer series only.
1. Make sure the printer wheels are locked (the brake lever is pressed down) to prevent the printer
from moving.
2. Lower the spindle lever.
3. Remove the right-hand end of the spindle (1) from the printer, then move it to the right in order
to extract the other end (2). Do not insert your fingers into the spindle supports during the
removal process.
The spindle has a stop at each end to keep the roll in position. The stop at the left-hand end can
be removed to mount a new roll, it slides along the spindle to hold rolls of different widths.
4. Remove the blue paper stop (1) from the left-hand end of the spindle.
5. If your roll has a three-inch cardboard core, ensure that the core adaptors supplied with the
printer have been installed. See below:
6. The roll may be very long; rest the spindle horizontally on a table and load the roll on the table.
Bear in mind that you may need two people to handle it.
