HP 72SI, 98SI manual Example Document Design, Media Properties

◆If the printer reports that the media is skewed, but you can- not correct the skew, the sheet may not be perfectly square (90-degree corners with parallel sides). In this case, ensure that the right edge of the media (closest to the control panel) is parallel to the direction of media feed. (You can use the fence on the input (rear) table as a guide after squaring it to the platen.) Then use the procedures described previ- ously to ensure enough overprinting to account for the shape of the sheet. If insufficient overprinting occurs, the sheet may need to be trimmed for a bleed effect.

Example Document Design

◆Media size: 48x96 inches (4x8 feet)

◆Bleeds: Full bleed

◆Document size in application software: 48.5 inches x 96.0 inches, to include an overprint of 0.25 inches on the left and right edges (the printer will not overprint the leading edge, to avoid feeding the media over wet ink on the platen)

Media Properties

◆The operator selects a flat sheet of 4x8-foot media with opposite sides parallel and all four corners at 90 degree angles.

◆The operator attaches a trailer that is 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) long and 48 inches wide to the trailing edge of the media, applying the adhesive tape to the back side.
