HP Designjet Z3100 Photo Printer series - Manual (Page 159)

If the sheet is not caught by the printer, the front-panel display asks you to push paper further into the
printer, and tries to feed the paper again.
If the sheet is caught by the printer but is not inserted straight, the front panel displays the following
instructions.
1. When prompted by the front-panel display, lift the blue lever on the left.
2. Adjust the sheet to align with the front and right side blue lines.
3. Once the sheet is aligned, press OK on the front panel.
4. When prompted by the front-panel display, lower the blue lever. The printer checks the alignment.
If the sheet is aligned, the printer measures the sheet and feeds it out the back into the roll feed. You
are now ready to print.
If the sheet is still not aligned, the front panel displays an error and instructions to start again.
If you would like to start the load process again, cancel the process on the front panel and the printer
ejects the sheet out the front.
Paper loading error messages
Here is a list of front-panel display messages related to paper loading, with the suggested corrective

process. See Functional specifications on page 204 .
Lever lifted During the load process the blue lever was lifted. This prevents the printer from

The paper type is not in the driver
To work with a paper not in the driver, you can add new paper to your driver, See Add a custom paper
type on page 40 . Adding your paper to the driver is recommended as it allows you to store custom
parameters, such as a profile, for your paper.
You can use your paper as one of the profiles already in the driver, however, you must identify whether
your paper is transparent or translucent, glossy, matte, or HP Banners with Tyvek®.
NOTE: For glossy paper, it is important to use a glossy paper type, as matte black ink does not
print well on glossy paper.
