6P r i n t i n g ● Create a print job ● Select print quality ● Select paper size ● Select margins options ● Print with shortcuts ● Rescale a print ● Change the treatme nt of overlapping .
Create a print job In order to print something, you must send it to the prin ter. This constitutes a pr int job, which is entered into the printer' s print queue. There are two main ways of sen ding a print job to th e printer: ● To print directly from a progra m, use the p rogram's Print command as usual .
If you need to specify printing settings, go to the Job settings secti on and select the options you need. Each option has explanatory text on the right, so tha t you can understand the beh avior of each settin g. Remember that, if you leave the setting as Default , the setting saved in the job will be used.
NOTE: The paper size specified here sho uld be the pap er size in which the document was created. It is possible to rescale the d ocument to a different size fo r printing. See Rescale a print on page 64 . ● In the Windows driv er dialog: select the Paper/Quality tab, then Document Size .
NOTE: Under Mac OS, the ava ilable margins optio ns depend on the paper size selected in the Page Setup dialo g. For instance, for borderless p rinting you must select a paper size name that includes th e words “no margins”.
TIP: Check at least th e settings that you can see in the Printing Sh ortcuts tab: the document size, orientatio n, etc. The Factory Def aults shortcut co ntains the prin ter's default sett ings. When you click on it, it sets all options to their default values.
If you are printing to a single sheet, you mu st ensu re that the image can actuall y fit onto th e sheet, otherwise the image will be clipped. Change the treatment of overlapping lines NOTE: This topic a pplies only when printing an HP-GL/2 job . The merge option controls th e overlapping lin es in an image.
Print a draft You can specify fast draft-quality printing in the following ways: ● In the Windows driv er dialog: go to the Paper/Quality tab and look at the Print Quality section. Move the print-qualit y slider to the extreme left ('Speed').
NOTE: If the print quality is set from your computer, it overrides the print-quality settin g in the front panel. If you have a high -resolution image If your image has a resolution greate r than the .
● In the Mac OS Page Setup dialog (T1100 ps): select a paper size name that includes the words “no margi ns”. Then , in the Print dialog, sele ct Finishi ng > Layout > Border less . ● On the Embedded Web Server 's Submit Jo b page: select Advanced settings > Paper > Layout/Margins > Borderless .
Use paper economically Here are some recommendatio ns for making economical use of pa per: ● If you are printi ng relatively sm all images or do cume nt pages, you ca n use nesting to print th em side by side instead o f one after another. See Nest jobs to save roll paper on page 69 .
What pages can be nested? All pages can b e nested, unless they are so larg e that two of them cannot fit side by side on the roll, or unless there are too many of them to fit into the re maining length of the roll. A single group of nested pages cannot be split between two rolls.
● Leave the printer perm anently turned on so that it can maintain the printheads in good conditio n automatically. This regu lar printhead maintena nce us es a small amo unt of ink. However, if it is not done, the printer ma y need to use much more ink later to restore the h ealth of the printh eads.

12 Maintaining the printer ● Check printer status ● Clean the exterior of th e printer ● Replace the cutter ● Maintain the ink cartridges ● Move or store the printer ● Update the firmware .
Check printer status You can check the current status o f the printer in various wa ys: ● If you start HP Easy Printer Care under Windows or HP Printer Utility under Mac OS, and select your printer, you see a page o f information describing the status of the p rinter and its paper and ink supplies.
4. Lift the ink cartridge cover on the left-hand side of the printer. 5. Press the button b ehind the ink cartrid ges to release the cove r of the left-han d end of the printer.
7. Unscrew and remov e the cutter stop using the TORX PLUS screwdriver prov ided with the ne w cutter. The screw is capt ive and will not fall out. 8. Remove the old cutter. 9. Take the new cutter from th e maintenance kit and move the plunger a t the top slowly back and forth within its housing to check t hat it moves freely.
10. Slide the new cutter into p osition on the cutter rail. The two wheels on the bottom of the cutter should engage the cen tral ridge on the cu tter rail, and the two bush ing guides should fit into the groove i n the upper part of the cutter rail. Check that the cutter run s smoothly up and down the rail.
11. Fit the cutter sto p onto the end of the cutter rail, ho lding it there with one hand while yo u tighten the screw with the screwdriver in your other hand. 12. Put the left end cover b ack on the printer, aligning the protrusions with the holes in the pri nter.
Maintain the ink cartridges During the normal li fetime of a cartridg e, no spec ific maintenan ce is required. Ho wever, in order to maintain the best print quality, replace a cartridge wh en it reaches its expiration date. The printer's front panel notifies you when any ca rtridge reaches its expiration date.
TIP: Because preparing an d purging the pri ntheads uses both time and ink, you are strong ly recommended to lea ve the printer always on or in sleep mode, whenever possibl e, to maintain the health of th e printheads. In both cases, the prin ter wakes up from time to time to maintain the printheads.
When you see the message, yo u should contact HP Support (see Contact HP Support on page 196 ) and request the main tenance kit. Thr ee of the kits are installed by service e ngineers only; the fourth consists of a repla cement cutter, which you can install yourself (see Replace the cutter on page 132 ).
NOTE: If you choose to erase the whole hard disk, you may be asked to restart the printer several times during the process, which will ta ke about 6 hours with Secure Disk Erase or 24 hours with Secure Sanitizing Erase.
