HP Designjet Z6100 Printer Series - User's Guide

15.
If you have a take-up reel (a standard feature on the 60–inch printer and an optional accessory on
the 42–inch printer) and it is enabled, you will see the “Take-up reel enabled” message on the front-
panel Paper tab. In this case, a message will appear on the front panel asking if you want to load
paper into the reel. If you select No (or if you do not have a take-up reel) the front panel displays
the Ready message and the printer is ready to print. If you select Yes, a message will appear on
the front panel asking if you want to load the take-up reel now or during printing.
●
If you want to load the take-up reel now, select Load take-up reel now, read through the
introductory text in the section
Use the take-up reel on page 38, and then continue to step 3
of the procedure.
●
If you want to load the take-up reel during printing, select Load it during printing, read
through the introductory text in the section
Use the take-up reel on page 38, and then continue
to step 3 of the procedure.
NOTE: Familiarize yourself with the procedural steps, because loading the take-up reel
while printing requires you to complete the procedure while the printer is feeding and
printing paper. Loading the take-up reel during printing saves approximately 1 m (3 feet)
of paper.
If the take-up reel is not enabled and you would like to enable it, select the icon, and then
select Take-up reel > Enable.
NOTE: During the initial printer set up, printhead alignment and color calibration is performed
automatically after the roll is loaded into the printer.
Unload a roll from the printer
NOTE: If you used the take-up reel (a standard feature on the 60–inch printer and an optional
accessory on the 42–inch printer) during printing, unload the printed roll from the take-up reel
before attempting to remove the roll from the printer. See
Unload a roll from the take-up reel
on page 43.
Initiate the procedure for unloading a roll from the printer the front panel or by lifting the paper-load lever.
In either case, a front-panel animation guides you through the remainder of the procedure.
Before unloading a roll, check whether the end of the roll is still attached to the spindle, and follow the
appropriate procedure as described in the following sections.
