Handle the paper
The Z6100 requirements for handling the paper, loading and unloading the paper and using the take-up
reel is similar to those for the 5000 series printer. All of the basic paper-handling procedures start from
the front panel.
What is new in paper handling?
● There is no spindle lever on the Z6100 series printers. To remove the spindle, simply lift it from the
printer when you are prompted by the front panel.
● New hub design for improved loading and unloading of paper
● You can now leave the printer window open while loading media
● While the portfolio of printing materials has grown, sheet paper is not supported in the Z6100; only
roll paper is supported
See the following sections for more detailed information on supported paper types and ordering paper:
● Supported paper types on page 28
● Order paper on page 49
Paper profiles
When you load a new roll into the printer, the front panel prompts you to select the type of paper you are
loading and enter the length of the roll. For every paper type listed in the front panel, there is a paper
profile (containing an ICC profile) already stored in the printer software.
If you want to use a paper that is not listed in the front panel, choose one of the following options:
● Select the paper that matches most closely the paper you intend to use, via the front panel
● Download the profile from the Internet. The printer automatically performs color calibration and
paper advance calibration for every downloaded profile.
You can easily view information on the currently loaded paper. To do so, select the icon, in the front
panel and then select View information about the paper.
