Introduction

The HP DesignJets 43￿, 45￿C and 455CA follow on from and replace the DesignJet 33￿ and 35￿C. The HP DesignJets 43￿, 45￿C and 455CA (like the DesignJets 23￿, 33￿, 25￿C and 35￿C) have inherited much of the system architecture and features of the DesignJet 22￿. Their writing system, however, is based on that of the DesignJet 65￿C.

This chapter describes some of the main features of the HP DesignJets 43￿, 45￿C and 455CA. Before reading it, read the functional overview of the DesignJet 22￿ ' •HP DesignJet 220 and HP DesignJet 200 Printers - Service Manual," part number C3￿8789￿￿￿￿.

(Information on the DesignJet 65￿C ' •HP C2858B/C2859B DesignJet 650C Service Manual," part number C285889￿￿￿￿ Rev B).

Roll Media

When a roll8feed assembly is installed on the Printer, roll media can be used. The roll8feed assembly consists of:

DTwo roll8feed components.

DA spindle.

DTwo media stops.

The roll8feed assembly is installed below the sheet media entry path, to allow the ease of loading for sheet media. When roll media is loaded into the Printer, it is passed around a diverter roll, which optimizes the infeed path to the Printer. Once a plot/print is completed, a built8in cutter automatically slides across the paper to cut the plot/print from the roll.

Removing Static Charge from the Media

An anti8static brush located under the entry platen prevents static charge from building up on the media. A charge can cause the media to stick to itself and jam the Printer.
