The Embedded Web Server also allows you to export one or more paper presets from your printer for use with another printer of the same model. To export more than one paper preset at a time, click the paper presets you want to export while pressing the Ctrl key. All exported presets will be saved in the same paperpresets.oms file. When importing a previously exported paper preset, you may see a message warning you that the package is not signed (only packages downloaded from the HP Media Locator Internet database are digitally signed, as a form of authentication); you can either ignore the warning and continue with the installation, or abort the installation. If you get an error message while exporting: ● Check that you have enough disk space available. ● Check whether importing multiple paper presets will exceed the maximum permitted for the printer (10 presets). To install a downloaded paper preset 1. After finding the right paper preset at https://www.printos.com/ml/, or the paper manufacturer's website, click the Download now button and save the paper preset (an .oms file) on your computer. NOTE: If you do not find the paper preset you want on the Web, you may find that it has been added to the latest firmware for your printer. 2. Before starting to install the new preset, make sure that the printer is idle and the print queue is stopped. Installing a new paper preset will interrupt any printing that is in progress. 3. Start the HP DesignJet Utility or the Embedded Web Server. In the Embedded Web Server, click the Paper tab. In the Paper Management section, click the Paper preset tab. 4. On the Import page, select the paper preset file that you downloaded in step 1. 5. Click the Import button and wait for the update process to finish. It may take some time. 6. Check that the new paper type appears in the Additional paper or Custom paper category in your printer's front panel. Now that you have imported the paper preset, you can select the paper type from the front panel and from the driver. The paper preset for the new paper type is ready to use by your application. To create your own paper preset Before using a custom paper type with your printer, you should add a paper preset for the new paper. You can create a new paper preset directly from the front panel. The paper preset name will appear in the printer driver and on the front panel. To create a paper preset, follow this simple procedure: 1. Go to the installed papers inside the paper library in the front panel. 2. Tap the Add new paper button. 3. Select a paper category from the drop-down menu. The paper category determines the amount of ink used and other basic printing parameters. 4. Enter your paper's name. TIP: The paper's commercial name is likely to be the most understandable for other users of the printer. 5. Select the appropriate settings: drying time, horizontal cutter, and so on.
