HP DesignJet T2500 Multifunction Printer Series - User guide
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.
Maintain paper
To maintain paper quality, follow the recommendations below.
●
Store rolls covered by another piece of paper or cloth
●
Store cut sheets covered and clean or brush them before loading them in the printer
●
Clean input and output platens
●
Keep the scanner lowered unless you need to lift it for some reason
NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched
on page 188.
Change the drying time
You may wish to change the drying time setting to suit special printing conditions such as multiple prints
where time is of higher importance or when you need to be sure ink is dry before handling.
Press , then , then Setup > Print retrieval > Drying time. You can select:
●
Extended, to set a longer than recommended time to ensure ink is completely dry
●
Optimal, to set the default and recommended time for your selected paper (this is the default setting)
●
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 finishes 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.
Change the retrieval time
You may wish to add some time after drying in which you can pick up the print before the next job starts.
Press , then , then Setup > Print retrieval > Retrieval time.
