The basket
The stacker is normally used to collect prints. If you decide not to use the stacker, you can send your prints to
the basket. You may decide to use the basket if the stacker is full, or if you want to separate a job from the
other jobs printed to the stacker.
The basket can accept up to 10 A1 or D-sized sheets of bond paper. Larger prints should be removed from the
basket immediately after printing.
TIP:
Ensure that you have routed all cables correctly, so that they do not interfere with paper falling into
the basket. Otherwise you may experience paper jams.

if it is not already highlighted, then the roll icon.

The same information is displayed in the HP Designjet Utility for Windows (Overview tab > Supplies tab) and
the HP Utility for Mac OS X (Printer Status > Supplies Details).
Paper presets
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes the
way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require a
longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each paper type. This
description is called the paper preset. The paper preset contains the ICC profile, which describes the color
characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other characteristics and requirements of the
paper that are not directly related to color. Existing paper presets for your printer are already installed in the
printer's software.
However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer only contains
paper presets for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which your printer has
no preset, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display.
There are two ways to assign a preset for a new paper type.
●
Use one of the existing HP factory paper presets by selecting the closest category and type in the front
panel or the printer driver. See
The paper type is not in the list on page 181
.
NOTE:
Colors may not be accurate. This method is not recommended for high-quality prints.

NOTE:
HP provides presets for HP paper types only. If you do not find the paper preset you want on
the Web, you may find that it has been added to the latest firmware for your printer. You can check the
firmware release notes for information, see
