How do I load sheets of paper? (general guidance)

There are four ways of loading sheets of paper into the printer if you have the Automatic Roll Feed installed on your printer. There are three ways of loading paper if you have the manual roll feed or no roll feed installed:

extensions to support

paper

3.rear path

output tray

2. front path

1. input tray

(sheet/

manual

roll)

4. rear path

(auto.

roll)

1. The input tray at the front of the printer for multiple sheets of paper between

76×142mm (3×5.6inches) and 457×610 mm (18×24inches) (C+). Envelopes can also be loaded in the input tray.

2. The front path for single sheets of paper between:

• 152×229 mm (6×9inches) and 458×1625mm (18.03 × 63.9 inches) (A2 oversize). (70 printer)

• 110×205 mm (4.3×8.1inches) and 625×1625mm (24.6 × 63.9 inches) (A1 oversize). (110plus/110plus nr printers)

3. The rear path (upper slot) for single sheets of thick paper or other media

between:

• 76×205 mm (4×8.1inches) and 458×1625mm (18.03 × 63.9 inches) (A2 oversize). (70 printer)

• 110×205 mm (4.3×8.1inches) and 625×1625mm (24.6 × 63.9 inches) (A1 oversize). (110plus/110plus nr printers)

The rear path (upper slot) is also used for roll input if your printer has the manual roll feed installed.

4. The rear path (lower slot) is used for roll input if your printer has the Automatic

Roll Feed installed (HP Designjet 110plus nr only).

HP Designjet 70/110plus Printer series—Quick Reference Guide

How do I load sheets of paper? (general guidance) (continued)

The roll feed enables you to load roll paper into the rear path. When roll paper is loaded into the printer, it obstructs the paper path; therefore roll paper must always be unloaded before printing on sheet paper (see page 18).

However the paper is loaded, it should always be loaded in portrait mode: the leading edge of the paper should be the shorter edge.

The extensions may be used to support large sheets of paper going into the front input path, and also act as supports for paper arriving in the output tray.

HP Designjet 70/110plus Printer series—Quick Reference Guide

How do I load paper using the front path?

Note that the illustration below shows the HP Designjet 110plus Printer series.

1. Place a single sheet of paper in the output tray, aligning it on the right of the

output tray, with the side that is to be printed on facing down. Do not stack

multiple sheets here.

2. Push the paper as far as it will go into the printer, maintaining its alignment to

the right. Ensure that your hands are flat on the paper and close to the slot, and that the paper remains flat. If the printer does not “catch” the paper, try again, making sure that the leading edge of the paper is flat.

3. Press the OK key (the upper right key) on the front panel.

The printer will check the alignment of the paper, and if it is misaligned, it will eject the paper; in that case you will have to reload the paper.

How do I unload paper from the front path?

In case you want to change or remove the paper that you have loaded before printing, for example to change the type of paper or to use a different input path:

• Press the Cancel and OK keys at the same time to eject the paper.

Note that the illustration below shows the HP Designjet 110plus Printer series.

HP Designjet 70/110plus Printer series—Quick Reference Guide

How do I load paper into the input tray?

Note that the input tray should be extended only when necessary: when using paper larger than Legal- or A4-size.

1. Remove the input tray.

2. Lift up the tray cover.

3. If the paper you are using is larger than Legal- or A4-size, move the small tab in the center towards the left so that you can lengthen the tray. Then let go of the tab and pull the tray extension out as far as it will go.

4. Fan the paper by its short edge. This helps to prevent adjacent sheets of paper from sticking together.

HP Designjet 70/110plus Printer series—Quick Reference Guide

How do I load paper into the input tray? (continued)

5. Slide the paper into the tray under the tray cover, ensuring that it touches the sides of the tray on the right and on the printer side.

6. Push in the small tab on the right of the tray so that it fits snugly against the paper. Move the larger tab on the left of the tray to the right so that it too fits snugly against the paper.

7. Close the tray cover.

8. Lift up the output tray and insert the input tray into the printer, keeping it straight and pushing it in from both sides as far as it will go. The left inside corner must be aligned with the plastic paper tray guide and the right inside corner must be aligned with the sticker of the input tray.

9. Lower the output tray, pushing the tray slightly to the left. Note that if the input tray is extended, it will extend out beyond the output tray.

How do I load sheet paper using the rear path?

In order to print on sheet paper using the rear path, you must submit your print job to the printer before loading the paper.

1. Set the paper source to Rear Manual Feed. If you leave the paper source set to Auto Select (Windows) or Automatic (Mac OS), the printer will start printing on any paper that is already loaded. If you specify Rear Manual Feed, you do not need to remove paper from the tray before using the rear path.

2. Submit your print job, then wait for the Paper Status icon on the front panel to flash before you load the sheet into the rear path. See page 44 for more details about the icons on the front panel. The Paper Status icon is shown on the right.

• If the Automatic Roll Feed is installed on your printer and a roll of paper is

in the rear path, the roll will automatically be unloaded when you submit your print job. The Paper Status icon will then flash to indicate there is no longer any paper in the rear path. You can then load your sheet.

If other icons appear, such as the Roll icon with the Paper Jam icon, or the

Roll icon with the Paper Misalign icon, you may have to unload the roll manually before continuing to load a sheet.

• If the manual roll feed is installed on your printer and a roll of paper is in

the rear path, you will need to unload it manually before you can print on sheet paper. See “How do I unload a roll of paper? (70)” on page 17.

3. When you are ready to load the sheet, place the paper in the rear feed, to the left as seen from the rear of the printer, with the surface on which you wish to print facing up.

HP Designjet 70/110plus Printer series—Quick Reference Guide

How do I load sheet paper using the rear path? (continued)

If your printer has two slots, you must feed the sheet through the upper slot (the lower slot is for roll paper only).

Sheet paper

Roll paper

4. Align the left edge of the paper with the left mark on the rear feed. If you do not see a mark, align it with the paper stop near the left-hand end of the roll feed spindle. Make sure that the leading edge of the sheet is parallel to the slot, and not skewed.

5. Push the paper into the printer, pushing it as far as it will go. For best results you should push the paper in quickly rather than slowly.

How do I print on large sheets? (70)

The printer output system has several adjustable components. When printing on large sheets of paper, it is important that you use the correct printer output configuration. The following diagram shows adjustable parts of the printer output system:

The table on the next page gives the output system configuration required for various paper sizes.

Note:

• When using the input tray or roll feed as the paper source, make the necessary adjustments to the output system to enable output to be stacked.

• If the output tray has prints stacked in it and you want to print from the roll feed, empty the output tray and adjust it as necessary before printing.

How do I load a roll of paper? (70)

Roll paper can be used only if you have the roll feed accessory.

Note that only one source of paper can be used by the printer at any time. So if a roll of paper is loaded in the printer and you want to print to a sheet of paper, you must first unload the roll. If subsequent jobs require a roll to be used, the roll must be loaded again before they can be printed.

You can cut a roll without unloading it by pressing the OK key; the paper first advances about 1 cm.

1. Set your application to pick paper from the roll feed.

2. Select Print from your application.

3. Load a roll of the required paper onto the spindle. Make sure that the roll is turned the right way with the surface on which you wish to print facing up and that the blue stop on the spindle is pushed in against the paper.

4. Insert the spindle into its retaining slots, with the blue stop on the right (A) and the black stop on the left (B), as seen from the rear of the printer.

If the paper is glossy, we recommend that you wear gloves to avoid smearing the surface of the paper.

5. Make sure that the leading edge of the roll is straight and perpendicular to its side edges.

How do I load a roll of paper? (70) (continued)

6. Rewind any excess paper so that the paper is rolled tightly onto the spindle.

7. Insert the leading edge of the paper into the rear of the printer until it encounters resistance, keeping the sides of the paper rolled tightly so that the paper is properly aligned.

8. After emitting a ‘beep’ the printer will take up the paper.

9. The printer will check the alignment of the paper.

If the roll is properly aligned, the roll icon will appear on the display, indicating that the printer is ready to print.

If the roll is misaligned, the printer will eject the paper and the display will show the misaligned and roll icons; in that case you will have to reload the paper.
