Media types, material and sizes on the printer
Introduction
One of the features of the Océ PlotWave 900 printer is the automatic media change
function. This function enables the printer to switch to another roll of the same media
when there is not enough media on the current roll to finish the print run. Specify media
type and the media size after you load media, as described in
‘Replace/Load a roll of media’
on page 264 . The Océ PlotWave 900 supports both DIN and ANSI media formats. See
‘Preferred Océ media types and sizes’ on page 374 for an overview of all materials that can
be used on the Océ PlotWave 900 printer.
