HP Latex 210 Printer User Manual

After each job, the printer prints a black reference line that is used to align the matching job on
the second side.
NOTE:
The chance of visible misalignment between the two sides increases with the length of
the job. For this reason, in double-sided printing you are recommended not to print any single job
that is longer than 3 m (10 ft).
4.
After printing, advance the substrate a little using the
Move substrate
key.
●
If you plan to attach the substrate to the take-up reel before printing the second side, advance
the substrate enough to achieve this.
●
If you plan to attach the substrate to the take-up reel while printing the second side, advance
the substrate about 10 cm (4 in).
5.
Cut the substrate, either manually or by going to the front panel and selecting the icon, then
Form feed and cut. Before cutting, ensure that the total length of the cut substrate is more than
2 m (6 ft 7 in), otherwise you may be unable to load it successfully.
NOTE:
The Form feed and cut command will not work if the substrate cannot be cut by the
cutter.
6.
Select the icon, then select Substrate unload.
7.
Reload the substrate with the first (printed) side facing up as it enters the printer, and with the
reference line near the leading edge. Reload if necessary until the printer finds less than 1 mm/m
skew.
TIP:
Although it is not strictly necessary, you may find it quicker to use the manual loading
procedure as an initial approximation, and then allow the printer to find the reference line more
Load a roll into the printer (manually) on page 30
. If you use only the automatic
loading procedure, the printer may take some time to find the reference line.
TIP:
You are recommended to use the edge holders when printing the second side, which means
using the manual loading procedure.
TIP:
If you have deliberately not attached the substrate to a spindle, and the front panel reports
that the substrate may be detached from the core, or that the feeding direction is not detected, you
can ignore the message and continue.
8.
The front panel asks, Would you like to load substrate for printing as side B? Select
Yes.
9.
The printer searches for the reference line on the substrate. If it fails to find it, the front panel asks
you to move the substrate using the
Up
and
Down
keys until the reference line is aligned with the
permanent line on the platen. You may find it useful to mark where the reference line is on the
other side of the substrate.

Handle the substrate
NOTE:
You are recommended to use the take-up reel to wind side A automatically, to avoid the
"telescopic effect" that leads to deformation of the substrate edges and printhead crashes while
printing side B.
