The same information is displayed in the HP DesignJet Utility for Windows (Overview tab > Supplies tab) and the HP Utility for Mac OS X (Information group > Supplies Status). Paper presets Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each paper type. This description is called the paper preset. The paper preset contains the ICC profile, which describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related to color. Existing paper presets for your printer are already installed in the printer's software. However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer only contains paper presets for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which your printer has no preset, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display. There are two ways to assign a preset for a new paper type. ● Use one of the existing HP factory paper presets by selecting the closest category and type in the front panel or the printer driver. See The paper type is not in the list on page 170. NOTE: Colors may not be accurate. This method is not recommended for high-quality prints. ● Download the correct paper preset from http://www.hp.com/go/T2500/paperpresets. NOTE: HP provides presets for HP paper types only. 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. You can check the firmware release notes for information, see Update the firmware on page 151. Printing paper info Enable the Printing paper info option to record the printer's estimate of the remaining roll length, paper width and type. The information is a combination of barcode and text that is printed on the leading edge of the roll when the paper is unloaded from the printer. NOTE: The paper-length estimate is available only if the printer registered the amount of paper that was on the roll when you loaded it. To provide this information to the printer, specify the roll length on the front panel when loading the paper, or load a roll that has the paper-data barcode printed on it. NOTE: The barcode and text are printed on the roll only when the loading and unloading processes are started from the front panel's Paper menu. NOTE: This option can be expected to work only with papers that are completely opaque. It may fail with transparent or translucent papers. To enable the Printing paper info option, go to the front panel and press Printing preferences > Paper options > Printing paper info. , then , then Setup > NOTE: Enabling this option slightly changes the paper loading and unloading procedures. 64 Chapter 6 Paper handling ENWW
