how do I set paneling and tiling options and assemble
panels
Paneling enables you to create huge enlargements. With Paneling you
print wide format sections of your image as "panels" and then glue the
panels together to reconstruct the image. In effect, the Paneling option
creates a virtual printer with unlimited width capabilities. The HP
Designjet scanner software makes Paneling easy by supplying precisely
placed cutting lines and guiding glue marks on the panel edges, so you
can connect your panels with near-invisible seams.
Tiling is also paneling — but gives you the option to make your panel
sections by dividing the image both horizontally and vertically.

options
1. Width: for setting the width of the panels.
The width includes the Overlap area. The panel width can at most be
as wide as the printer's printable area. For maximum sized panels,
set the panel width to the same value you set as the printer's Media
Width (through the Setup tab > Printer > Unprintable area) minus the
printer's left/right unprintable areas.
This value should correspond with the documented printable area for
your printer. The scanner software will calculate the size of the last
panel. When calculating special panel widths, for example for
dividing the image into equally wide panels, you must remember to
add extra space for panel overlap (see the example below).
2. Overlap: determines the width of the overlap areas — that is,
the edges that contain equal image data on two adjacent
panels.
Large, heavy panels will need wider overlap and gluing areas than
smaller panels.
3. Glue Marks: small gray arrows are printed on the panel's edges
to help guide you when you connect the panels.
The glue marks will hardly be distinguishable in your large copy. The
arrows vary in size: the larger the Overlap width, the larger the
arrows printed. Maximum arrow size is 1" high.
4. Tiling: allows you to determine the length of your panels. Select
the Tiling option when you want to determine the length of
each section and assemble multiple short sections vertically
