HP Designjet 9000s Printer series - Manual (Page 160)

Hint TENSION is the recommended take-up reel mode particularly when printing on
long rolls. This helps to reduce the risk of media skew.
NOTE If you see banding, perform the Media Advance calibration in the mode that your
are using. See How do I...
Leading edge mode (LEADING EDGE)
This option allows you to define how the printer detects the position of the media when it is loaded or
make media settings on the front panel.
NOTE This setting is not applied
when you use the take-up reel.
Parameters:
● NORMAL — Detects the leading edge of the media when you replace or load the media, and then
completes media loading after checking for skew.
● REDUCED — Detects the leading edge of the media when you replace or load media, and then
completes media loading after detecting the edge of the media by rewinding.
NOTE The recommended setting is NORMAL. If you select REDUCED, follow these
instructions:
● Cut the edge of the media so that the edge of the media is parallel to the guide line and then
load the media. If the edge of the media is not straight, the printer will deposit ink on the
platen and that can cause a printhead crash.
● Load the media after checking that there are no wrinkles on the edge of the media. Wrinkled
media can cause a printhead crash.
● Load the media after checking that there is no tape or glue on the edge of the media. If using
media with tape or glue, it can cause a media jam.
Vacuum level setting (VACUUM LEVEL)
Use the VACUUM LEVEL option to set the suction force of the vacuum fan on the printing platen for the
selected media type.
