HP Designjet Z6100 Printer Series - Quick Reference Guide

Unload a roll from the printer

NOTE: If you used the take-up reel (a standard feature on the 60–in printer

and an optional accessory on the 42–in printer) during printing, unload the

printed roll from the take-up reel before attempting to remove the roll from the

printer. See

Unload a roll from the take-up reel on page 22.

Initiate the procedure for unloading a roll from the printer the front panel or by lifting

the paper-load lever. In either case, a front-panel animation guides you through the

remainder of the procedure.

Before unloading a roll, check whether the end of the roll is still attached to the

spindle, and follow the appropriate procedure as described in the following sections.

The normal procedure (roll attached to spindle)

If the end of the roll is still attached to the spindle, use the following procedure.

At the printer's front panel, select the

icon, and then select Unload

paper.

The paper is ejected from the printer.

If for some reason the paper is not automatically ejected from the printer, the

front-panel display prompts you to lift the paper-load lever and wind the roll by

hand until the paper leaves the printer. When you have finished, lower the

paper-load lever.

Turn the hub by hand, until the paper is fully wound onto the roll.

Press the OK button.

Remove the roll from the printer, pulling out the right end on the right side of the

printer first. Do not insert your fingers into the spindle supports during the

removal process.
