Ensure that carriage position and paper finish remain the same. Printer printed on the wrong paper type If the printer prints your job before you were able to load your desired paper, you may have Use Printer Settings or Any selected for the Paper Type in the printer driver. When either of these is selected, the printer will print immediately on whichever paper is loaded. Load your desired paper, see Paper handling on page 25, and select your paper type specifically in the driver. ● In the Windows driver dialog: select the Paper/Quality or Paper tab (depending on the driver version), then select your paper type from the Paper Type list. ● In the macOS Print dialog: select the Paper/Quality panel, then select your paper type from the Paper Type list. NOTE: Use Printer Settings (Windows) or Any (macOS) is the driver default. Automatic cut not available Some paper types cannot be cut by the automatic cutter. When such a paper type is loaded and active, the printer cannot switch automatically to the other roll: the active roll must first be unloaded manually. On hold for paper Based on a set of conditions that you can set when sending a job (see Solve paper mismatch on page 82), the printer will decide which of the loaded rolls of paper is more suitable to print the job. If there is no roll of paper available that meets all the conditions, the printer will put the job on hold for paper. You can manually resume the job, forcing it to print on a paper other than the one originally specified, otherwise it will stay on hold. NOTE: When an uncuttable roll is active, every job sent to any other paper source is put on hold until you manually unload the uncuttable roll. Which criteria are used to decide on which roll a job will be printed? When a user sends a job, the desired paper type can be set in the driver. The printer will print the job on a roll of paper of the chosen paper type that is large enough to print the drawing without clipping. If there is more than one roll on which the job could be printed meeting all the criteria, the roll will be chosen according to your preferences. These can be set from the front panel: see Roll policies on page 81. When is a job put on hold for paper? If the paper mismatch action is set to Put job on hold (see Solve paper mismatch on page 82), a job is put on hold for paper in the following cases: ● The paper type that has been selected by the user is not currently loaded on the specified roll-or on either of the rolls, if no roll has been specified. ● The paper type that has been selected by the user is loaded on the specified roll, but the drawing is too large to fit on the roll-or on either of the rolls, if no roll has been specified.
