HP 0706124 REV B - Manual (Page 48)

2-14 Menu
◆ OFF — no quality check is performed, all jobs will print.
◆ Print Position — positions the print in the horizontal (x-axis)
direction, either in the center or flush right.
◆ Media Supply Loop — the supply loop is the slack portion of
the media between the platen and supply spool. When the
media is backed up to reduce the amount of blank
(unprinted) space between print jobs, the result is a supply
loop. A supply loop can cause printing anomalies if not
removed. The printer provides three options to handle the
supply loop:
◆ Prevent Supply Loop — use this mode to ensure opti-
mal quality and speed (see Tip below). The media is not
backed up and no supply loop is created. Prints will
move completely through the dryer before the next print
begins.
◆ Allow Supply Loop — use this mode for optimal print-
ing speed or to manually remove the supply loop after
each print. Prints will move completely through the
dryer, then the media is backed up, and the user is
prompted to remove the supply loop by manually
rewinding the slack portion onto the supply spool. Print-
ing resumes after the user presses the Proceed key, or
after 60 seconds, whichever occurs first.
◆ Unattended Supply Loop — use this mode to remove
the supply loop as in Allow Supply Loop mode, or the
printer will do it and printing proceeds as in Prevent
Supply Loop mode. Printing proceeds as in Allow Supply
Loop, but if the user does not press Proceed after 60 sec-
onds, the media is advanced to its location after drying
and printing proceeds.
Tip Use the ColorSpan print server’s MediaSaver or N-Up
features to group separate print jobs into a single
job. This conserves media and speeds printing by
eliminating the blank space between jobs, without
creating a supply loop.
