Z6100 printer scenario
The HP Designjet Z6100 Printer series is the next-generation large format printer that allows you to reuse
the knowledge you’ve acquired using the HP Designjet 5000 printer. When designing the Z6100, our
engineers leveraged the best features and functionality from the 5000 series and then made it even more
robust and easier to use. The transition from your 5000 series printer to the Z6100 will not only be quick
and intuitive, it will provide greater flexibility, job assurance and image quality to your large format
printing business.
This scenario highlights some of the basic operations of large format printing, drawing attention to the
main differences between the Z6100 and the 5000 series printer.
Set up the printer
The Z6100 will fit nicely into the space formerly occupied by your 5000 series printer. The rear of the
printer is also similar to the 5000 series, with the same power cord attachments and options for connecting
your printer to a computer and LAN.

Front panel
The Z6100 is managed primarily via the front panel. The front panel has been designed to leverage what
you learned while using the 5000 series, with design advancements to improve usability.
The Z6100 front panel contains interactive animations to guide you through all the basic operations.
Furthermore, the front panel menu structure and enhanced text and graphics facilitate the configuration
and use of the various printer features.
