Task 4: Load Media

 

For advice on the availability and use of different media types, see the section

 

starting on page 3-2.

IMPORTANT

Because the next task is to load the cartridge(s) and carry out the automatic

 

cartridge alignment procedure, you must load opaque media at this stage ± for

 

example, opaque bond (plotter paper) for the DesignJet 700 or coated paper for the

 

DesignJet 750C Plus, as this necessary for the alignment procedure. A roll of

 

suitable HP Media is supplied with your plotter.

 

To load roll media, start with step 1 below.

 

To load sheet media, go to page 1-18.
