Paper presets
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print-quality, the printer changes
the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may
require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each
paper type. This description is called the “paper” preset. The paper preset contains the ICC profile, which
describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other characteristics and
requirements of the paper that are not directly related to color. Existing paper presets for your printer
are already installed in the printer's software.
However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer only
contains paper presets for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which
your printer has no preset, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display.
There are two ways to assign a preset for a new paper type.
●
Use an HP factory paper preset by selecting the closest category and type in the front panel or the
HP Utility, see
The paper type is not in the driver on page 145.
NOTE: Colors may not be accurate. This method is not recommended for high-quality prints.
●
Download the correct paper preset from:
http://www.hp.com/go/T770/paperpresets/ or
http://www.hp.com/go/T1200/paperpresets/.
NOTE: HP provides presets for HP paper types only. If you do not find the paper preset you want
on the Web, you may find that it has been added to the latest firmware for your printer. You can
check the firmware release notes for information, see
Update the firmwareon page 131.
Printing paper info
Enable the Printing paper info option to record the printer’s estimate of the remaining roll length, paper
width and type. The information is a combination of barcode and text that is printed on the leading edge
of the roll when the paper is unloaded from the printer.
NOTE: The paper-length estimate is available only if the printer registered the amount of paper that
was on the roll when you loaded it. To provide this information to the printer, specify the roll length on
the front panel when loading the paper, or load a roll that has the paper-data barcode printed on it.
NOTE: The barcode and text are printed on the roll only when the loading and unloading processes
are started from the front panel's Paper menu.
NOTE: This option can be expected to work only with papers that are completely opaque. It may fail
with transparent or translucent papers.
To enable the Printing paper info option, go to the front panel and select the Setup menu icon ,
then select Printing preferences > Paper options > Enable printing paper info.
Move the paper
If the printer is idle (ready to print), you can move the paper forwards or backwards from the front panel.
You may want to do this in order to have more or less white space between the last print and the next
one.
To move the paper, select the Paper menu icon
and then Move paper.
