HP DesignJet Z2600 Z5600 PostScript Printer - User guide

●
To stop people from accidentally printing unimportant jobs on expensive paper.
●
To avoid printing on a particular roll when printing from AutoCAD without interacting with the HP printer
driver.
To protect a roll, go to the front panel and press , then , then Setup > Printing preferences > Paper
options
> Roll protection.
NOTE: If you protect a roll, then later unload the current roll and load a new one, the new roll remains
protected. You are protecting the roll number, not one specic roll of paper. That roll number will remain
protected until you cancel the protection.
TIP: If you print without specifying a roll number or paper type, you will not be able to print on any protected
roll.
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 conrm 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 nishes one roll, it will automatically switch to
the other.
●
If you intend to use two rolls, avoid using uncuttable paper (such as canvas) for the rst roll, because then
the printer will be unable to switch to the other roll.
●
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 Put job on hold (see Paper mismatch action
on page 22).
●
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.
●
Press , then , then Setup > Printing preferences > Paper options > Roll switching options >
Minimize roll changes or Use roll with less paper.
We recommend the following settings, depending on the paper type and what kind of prints you are making.
