Reduced Margins
Reduced margins allow you to save media when you
send continuous run print jobs to an HP Designjet 5000
series printer with a Take Up Reel (TUR) installed and
loaded with roll media.
The distance of the reduced margins between the
trailing and leading edges of consecutive prints in a
continuos print jobs depends on which Margin setting
has been selected in the Page Setup menu. Two
options are available, Normal or Extended (see
). With Normal margins set the
distance is 7 mm (0.28in) and with Extended Margins set
is 15 mm (0.59in).
Using reduced margins does not change the
two side
margins.
To use reduced margins with roll media loaded on the
TUR, select the Reduced margins option from the
Device Setup menu.
NOTE: The Reduced margins option is only available
from the Device Setup menu if the TUR is installed and
it is loaded with roll media.
