Use media edge guard (USE EDGE GUARD)

Use this option to activate or deactivate the media edge guards for the selected media type. The right and left print margins are 10 mm when the media edge guards are used, and 5 mm when they are not used. See How do I... Use the media edge guard.

Parameters:

YES — the edge guard is used.

NO — the edge guard is not used.

Media advance mode (MEDIA ADV MODE)

Use this option to set a media advance mode for the selected media type.

Parameters:

FWD ONLY — Media is fed through the printer in the standard way.

BACK & FWD — This setting checks that the media moves freely through the media path by feeding the media backwards and forwards before starting to print. This can be useful for media with adhesive coating that, in combination with the heat, may stick to the platen.

NOTE BACK & FWD can cause image banding.

Take-up reel mode (TUR MODE)

Use this option to set the take-up reel winding mode for the selected media type. You must set the take- up reel winding switch to the same setting as this option. See How do I... Define the take-up reel winding mode.

NOTE The HP Designjet High Speed Dryer is not usable with the take-up reel when in TENSION winding mode. Please use LOOSE mode when using the HP Designjet High Speed Dryer.

Parameters:

LOOSE — Media hangs loosely after printing and is then gathered on to the take-up reel.

TENSION — Media is gathered on to the take-up reel at the same time as printing.
