6 Working with two rolls Two rolls The uses of a multiroll printer A multiroll printer can be useful in several different ways: ● The printer can automatically switch between different paper types according to your needs. ● The printer can automatically switch between different paper widths according to your needs. This enables you to save paper by printing smaller images on narrower paper. ● If you load two identical rolls into the printer, you can leave it printing unattended for a long time, because it can switch from one roll to the other automatically when the first is exhausted. See Unattended printing/overnight printing on page 72. When working with multiple rolls, bear in mind that a protected roll is protected from use unless the roll number or its paper type are specifically requested. See Roll protection on page 72. The current status of both rolls is shown on the front panel if you press . NOTE: When you print from a USB flash drive or using HP Direct Print, multiroll printing is considerably simplified: either you specify manually which roll you want to use, or you can select Save paper, in which case the printer chooses the narrowest roll on which the print will fit. You cannot specify the paper type. How the printer allocates jobs to paper rolls NOTE: The information in this section applies only when printing from a printer driver, the Embedded Web Server or the HP Utility. When you submit a print job, you can specify (using the Paper type or Type is option) that you want it to be printed on a particular paper type; you can even specify (using the Paper source, Source is or Paper Feed option) that you want it to be printed on a particular roll (1 or 2). The printer will try to satisfy these requirements, and it will also look for a paper roll large enough to print the image without clipping. ● If both rolls are suitable for the job, the roll will be chosen according to the roll switching policy. See Roll switching options on page 32. ● If just one of the rolls is suitable for the job, it will be printed on that roll. ● If neither roll is suitable for the job, it will be held in the job queue with the status On hold for paper, or printed on an unsuitable roll, depending on the paper mismatch action. See Paper mismatch action on page 32. 54 Chapter 6 Working with two rolls ENWW
