9. Roll the paper into the printer until you feel resistance and the paper flexes slightly. When the printer detects the paper, it beeps, then feeds it in automatically. 10. If the leading edge of the paper has a barcode, the printer reads and then cuts off the barcode; you should remove and discard the cut strip of paper. 11. If the leading edge of the paper has no barcode, the front panel prompts you to select the paper category and type. TIP: If you have loaded a paper type whose name does not appear in the paper list, see Paper type is not in the driver, HP Utility, or front panel on page 149. 12. If the Printing paper info option is enabled, the front panel may ask you to specify the length of the roll. See Printing paper info on page 37. 13. The printer checks the alignment and measures the width, then the front panel prompts you to close the roll cover. If the paper is not correctly aligned, the printer automatically proceeds to realign it. NOTE: If you have an unexpected issue at any stage of the paper loading process, see Paper cannot be loaded successfully on page 148. Unload a roll Before unloading a roll, check whether there is paper on the roll or if the roll is out of paper, and follow the appropriate procedure as described below. Quick procedure with paper on the roll If there is paper on the roll, just open the roll cover, and the roll is unloaded automatically-unless the roll is uncuttable; in which case, see Manual unload procedure on page 32. NOTE: When the roll is unloaded in this way, no barcode is printed on it, so the printer will not know the length of the roll when it is next loaded. See Printing paper info on page 37. NOTE: If you open the cover of any roll while a sheet is loaded, the sheet is also unloaded. Front panel procedure with paper on the roll If there is paper on the roll, you can unload it from the front panel. ENWW Unload a roll 31
