HP DesignJet T790 and T1300 Printer Series - Using your printer
●
Reduced, to set a shorter than recommended time when quality is of lower importance
●
None, to disable the drying time and remove your print as soon as it nishes printing
CAUTION: If the ink is not dry when the print is removed it could leave ink in the output tray and marks on the
print.
NOTE: If you cancel the drying time during a print, the printer may not feed and cut the paper right away due to
the printhead maintenance, which runs in parallel. If the dry time is zero, the printer cuts the paper and then
performs the printhead maintenance. However, if the dry time is greater than zero, the printer does not cut the
paper until after the printhead maintenance has completed.

Feed and cut the paper
If you go to the front panel and press , then , then Paper > Form feed and cut, the printer advances
the paper and makes a straight cut across the front edge. There are several possible reasons why you might
want to do this.
●
To trim the leading edge of the paper if it is damaged or not straight.
●
To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled.
●
To cancel the waiting time and print the available pages immediately, if the printer is waiting to nest more
pages (T1300 series only).
NOTE: The printheads are serviced after each print, and the paper cannot be cut until the process completes, so
you may notice a delay.
CAUTION: Remove the cut piece from the output tray. If strips or short prints are left in the output tray the
printer could jam.
