HP 72SI, 98SI manual Loading Rigid Media

Loading Rigid Media The printer has two media load states:

◆Unloaded — the printer is ready to accept either roll-fed or rigid cut-sheet media

◆Loaded — the Media Wizard has stored parameters for the currently-loaded cut-sheet media, allowing you to reload multiple cut sheets without reentering the Media Wizard

Tip	If you are printing multiple copies of the same image
	on rigid cut-sheet media, you can skip much of the
	load process by using the Reload Media function for
	the second and subsequent prints. See “Reloading
	Rigid Media” on page 3-36 for details.

For optimal results when printing on rigid cut-sheet media:

◆Ensure that the printer has been correctly assembled and lev- eled, and operates on a flat, stable floor.

◆Ensure that the media input and output tables have been correctly assembled, are level left-to-right, and are at the same height as the printer platen.

◆Use only flat, unwarped or damaged sheets, with parallel opposite edges and 90° corners.

The control panel presents a list of media types. You can select a ColorSpan media from the list, or select Custom (at the end of the list) to specify a new media. The printer’s Media Wizard feature stores a set of parameters for each media type, which can be recalled and applied whenever

you change media types. (See “Media Wizard” on page 3-44 for details.)

2.Select the media type that most closely matches the media you are loading, or create a new media type.

The control panel displays the current settings for the media type you choose.
