HP Latex 3000 Series

The basic congurations are illustrated below. These congurations can be used for single-roll or dual-roll
printing.
●
The roll-to-roll conguration is suitable when you do not intend to cut and take away some prints or
the output roll in the middle of a print job being done using a particular input roll. The substrate cannot
be cut in mid-roll, except during double-sided printing, and then it must be reloaded afterwards.
●
The r
oll-to-free-fall conguration is suitable when you want to cut and remove one or more prints as
soon as the
y come out of the printer. The substrate is kept under tension between the input roll and the
tension roller; but it can be cut after the tension roller because then it is no longer under tension.
●
The r
oll-to-collector conguration is suitable when you may want to cut the substrate and remove the
o
utput roll before nishing the print job being done using a particular input roll. The substrate is kept
under tension between the input roll and the tension roller; but it can be cut after the tension roller
because then it is no longer under tension.
