Using Roll Paper
You can use roll paper with a 2- or 3-inch core and a width of up to
24 inches (61 cm) for the Pro 7700, or 44 inches (112 cm) for the Pro 9700.
Manually switching rolls is a simple process.
Roll Paper Guidelines
When printing on roll paper, be sure to follow the media handling
guidelines on page 58, as well as these special guidelines for roll paper:
•
When storing roll paper, keep it in its original packaging—including the
bag, end caps, and box.
•
To avoid feeding excess paper, make sure the Sheet icon does not
appear on the LCD display. Press the
l
Paper Source button until the
or roll icon appears.
•
Choose if you want the paper to be cut automatically after each
page is printed.
•
Choose if you want to print a series of pages and keep them together
for cutting later on or use the Auto Take-up Reel (Pro 9700 only).
•
If you’re loading heavy paper, you may need to increase the paper
suction by pressing the
u
Paper Feed button. For lightweight paper,
decrease the suction by pressing the
d
Paper Feed button.
•
Do not leave roll paper loaded in the printer when it is not in use.
