We recently acquired a couple of DesignJet 5500ps printers. Previously we where using DesignJet 800s. We have noticed slightly different behavior when working with cut sheets of paper vs. printing from a roll.
The behavior we see when printing on cut sheets is that the printer will add the 1.4 margin area to the leading edge before it starts printing the document. If you have allowed for the 1.4 margin on the leading edge in your document layout the print starts 2.8 inches from the leading edge. Even sending the document to be centered on the page produces the same result. On the DesignJet 800s we used the inked area only function of the printer to make all this work out correctly. The DesignJet 5500 seems to ignore the inked only setting (or any page setting for that matter) when dealing with cut sheets. When printing from a roll the printer behaves as we expect. Questions: 1. Does the DesignJet 5500 simply behave "differently" when handling cut sheets? Or is there some setting that needs to be adjusted in the printer settings. 2. Does anyone have a duplicatable workflow for using cut sheets on a DesignJet 5500 that doesn't involve strange margin settings? Or printing on an over sized sheet and trimming? - Karl Owens ----------------------------------------------- University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (541) 346-0576 ----------------------------------------------- Website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPDesignJet_Printers Post message: [email protected] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
