Protect a paper type You can protect selected paper types to avoid printing on them unintentionally. A protected paper type will be printed on only when the paper type is explicitly specified in the job. To protect a paper type, go to the front panel and tap , then Job management > Roll policies > Protected paper types, then select the paper type that you want to protect. When a paper type is protected, the icon appears before the paper name. To print on a protected paper category, just select the paper type explicitly when submitting the job from a printer driver or other job submission software. NOTE: If a protected paper type is not explicitly selected, and no other paper types are available, an out-ofpaper message will appear. Unattended printing/overnight printing The printer is well suited to long, unattended print jobs, having multiple rolls plus robust and consistent image quality. Here are some recommendations to help you deal with a long queue of printing jobs. ● If feasible, use brand-new long rolls of paper. ● If you want to print on partly-used rolls, you can check the paper type and the remaining length in the Embedded Web Server or in the front panel, to confirm that you have enough paper to print all your jobs. NOTE: Information on the remaining length is available only if you told the printer the length of the roll when you loaded it, or if the printer read the length of the roll from the barcode printed on it. ● Load two rolls of paper suitable for your jobs. If the printer finishes one roll, it will automatically switch to the other. ● HP recommends the use of papers approved for your printer. See Accessories on page 140. ● Check that you have paper wide enough to print all of your jobs. Any jobs that are too wide may be put on hold for paper if the paper mismatch action is set to Pause and ask (see Solve paper mismatch on page 82). ● Check the ink levels remaining in your ink cartridges. ● When you have submitted your print jobs, you can use the Embedded Web Server from a remote location to monitor their status. ● Drying time should be set to Optimal. ● Tap , then Job management > Roll policies > Use most depleted roll > On. We recommend the following settings, depending on the paper type and what kind of prints you are making.
