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 prole, 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 136.
NOTE: Colors may not be accurate. This method is not recommended for high-quality prints.

NOTE: HP provides presets for HP paper types only. If you do not nd the paper preset you want on the
Web, you may nd that it has been added to the latest rmware for your printer. You can check the
rmware release notes for information, see Update the rmware on page 128.
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 , then , then Setup >
Printing preferences > Paper options > Printing paper info.
NOTE: Enabling this option slightly changes the paper loading and unloading procedures.
Move the paper
If the printer is idle (ready to print), you can move the paper forwards or backwards from the front panel. You
may want to do this in order to have more or less white space between the last print and the next one when
the cutter is disabled; or to increase top margin of the next print.
To move the paper, press , then , then Paper > Move paper.
