Owners manual

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 146.

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

●

Download the correct paper preset from: http://www.hp.com/go/T920/paperpresets or

http://www.hp.com/go/T1500/paperpresets.

NOTE: HP provides presets for HP paper types only. If you do not find the paper preset you want on

the Web, you may find that it has been added to the latest firmware for your printer. You can check the

firmware release notes for information, see Update the firmware on page 138.

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
