Handle the substrate 8. At the front panel, select Turn input spindle to rewind the substrate onto the input roll. Press the Cancel key to stop rewinding. 9. Open the rear latches and remove the input roll from the printer. 10. Remove the spindle from the roll. The printer is now ready for new input and output rolls to be loaded. View information about the substrate Information about the loaded substrate is displayed at the bottom of the main screen of the HP Internal Print Server. To see more information, select the Substrate menu and then Settings. Substrate presets Each supported substrate type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes the way it prints on each different substrate type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require higher temperatures for drying and curing. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each substrate type. This description is called a substrate preset. The printer is supplied with substrate presets for some specific substrate types, and also with presets for some generic types. Each generic preset comes in three variations: with 100%, 150%, and 250% ink density. As it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all substrate types available, your printer contains substrate presets for only the most commonly used substrate types. For your convenience, substrate settings from many substrate vendors have been collected at http://www.hp.com/go/LX850/solutions/ and http:// www.hp.com/go/LX820/solutions/. You can check substrate availability using the Media Finder application that you will find there. To install a new substrate preset that you have downloaded, go to the HP Internal Print Server and select Substrate > Presets management. Create a new substrate preset Whenever you load a new substrate type into your printer, you must choose a substrate preset for it. 1. If possible, select a preset for the specific substrate type that you intend to load. 2. If no specific preset is available, select a generic preset that corresponds to the specific type that you intend to load. You may be able to get better results by creating a specific preset for your substrate type. 3. If no specific nor generic preset matches your substrate, select whatever preset seems to resemble it most closely. You will probably get better results by creating a specific preset for your substrate type. ENWW View information about the substrate 63
