Troubleshooting

General Printer Information

1.Interaction between start printing and nesting.

Of the four possible combinations between "Start Printing = Optimized or After processing" and "Nesting = In order or OFF" only two are possible. For example, if you have nesting set to "In order" and you change start printing to "Optimized" the Printer will automatically change nesting to "Off". Likewise, if you have start printing set to "Optimized" and you change nesting to "In order" the Printer will automatically set start printing to "After Processing".

There is no problem. This is the way the Printer operates.

2.Printhead crashes and ink smearing with Coated Paper.

HP Coated Paper is very prone to Printhead crashes especially in high humidity conditions and high-density prints. The HP recommendation is as follows:

HP Coated Paper - For presentation-quality images: For a variety of everyday uses. Produces excellent line and color quality for medium ink-density illustrations and graphics, working comps, proofs and renderings.

HP Heavyweight Coated Paper - For durable, presentation- quality images; Designed for high ink-density and rugged use, and for final presentations and signs that are mounted and laminated.

3.Throughput

Maximum Throughput given in the Technical Data Sheet for HP Coated Paper is:

Print Mode Max Speed (60 inch model): 569 sqft/hour*

Print Mode Max Speed (42 inch model): 499 sqft/hour*

NOTE	These are maximum mechanical printing speeds and do not
	include, for example, printhead servicing at the beginning/end of
	the print, dry time at the end of the print, etc. So, the average
	throughput when you are printing a run of several plots will be
	lower.
	If you only want to maximize throughput, the following settings

	are recommended:
	– Dry time: NONE
	– Internal RIP settings > Start printing > Immediately
	– Print orientation: if possible use Landscape instead of Portrait
	to reduce Carriage stops.
	– Printhead status: OK to reduce servicing at the beginning/end
