oading: this is recommended for rigid and narrow substrates

Assisted loading: this can be used to make loading exible
or wide substrates easier
NOTE: Assisted loading is not recommended with dual rolls.
If your printer is an HP Latex 3500, you have a diverter in the input side of the printer to help to
homogenize the tension of the paper. We strongly recommend to print with it installed. Check the
Installation Guide in case you need to uninstall it.
Load a roll (roll-to-roll conguration)
HP Latex 3000 / 3100 and HP Latex 3500 have dierent dual roll options. For HP Latex 3000 / 3100 you can
use a spindle with two rolls, but for HP Latex 3500, a split spindle system can be used. See HP Latex 3500
dual-roll split spindles center support on page 51 for more information.
The substrate roll is mounted on the input spindle (single or dual) and will be collected on the output spindle.
The substrate goes from the input spindle (1) over the main roller (2), over the platen (3), over the front
diverters (4) and then to the output spindle (5).
If your printer is an HP Latex 3500, between the input spindle and the main roller, you have to make use of the
diverter.
The above illustration shows the substrate loaded with the printed face outwards on both input and output
rolls. You can also load substrate with the printed face inwards on either or both rolls, in which case the
spindle will turn in the opposite direction. The printer asks you for the winding direction if it cannot detect it
automatically.
