14. If you are using them, attach the substrate edge holders at the rear.
15. Close the loading table.
16. Use the Internal Print Server to lower the carriage beam to its printing position.
17. Go to the Internal Print Server and press the Finish button. The printer rotates both rolls to check their
diameters, and it also checks the width of the roll, the winding direction, the vacuum, and the substrate
advance calibration (this takes about a minute).
NOTE: Some substrates (such as transparent substrates) cannot be measured by the printer in this
way. In such cases, you will be asked to enter the Left Edge and Width îželds yourself into the Internal
Print Server. Use the ruler on the spindle to check these values.
18. An alert about substrate-advance tracking may appear at this point. For more information on when you
might want to turn oîž« automatic tracking, see Substrate-advance compensation on page 146.
The printer is now ready to print.
Load a roll (dual roll-to-roll conguration)
HP Latex 3000/3100 and HP Latex 3500 have diîž«erent dual roll options. For the 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 more information.
The two substrate rolls are mounted on the rear dual-roll spindle and will be collected on the front dual-roll
spindle. The substrate goes from the input spindle over the main roller, over the platen, over the front
diverters and then to the output spindle.
NOTE: When using dual rolls, you are recommended to use the roll-to-roll conîžguration for best
performance.
