Resize paper frame
The Resize Paper Frame tool is especially useful for copying non-standard paper sizes.
When activated, the Resize Paper Frame Tool partitions the areas around the paper frame into
sections. When a section is touched, the closest frame side or corner is resized to the new position.

There are two ways to move the image:
●By dragging anywhere in the image window.

							There are three ways to move the frame:
●By dragging anywhere on the screen. Imagine you are gripping the frame and dragging it
around over the image.
●Touch a point on the screen, and that point then becomes the new center for the paper frame.
This method is especially useful when you are making spot test strips for printing. It lets you
continuously and rapidly reposition the frame on important areas that you want tested.
●Dragging the edges will resize the paper frame and is an alternative to the Resize Paper Frame
tool.
Align left and align right
The original appears crooked in the Preview Window. You do not need to reload the original. Press
the align buttons to align the image with the paper frame.
Alternatively, press the Settings button in the Copy tab or in the Scan tab, and select the Auto-align
option. This will align your image automatically. If you’re not satisfied with the result, press the Reset
alignment button, press OK, and align the image manually with the Align Left and Align Right buttons.

							Save files on a CD or DVD
Your HP Designjet is capable of writing to CDs or DVDs in the same easy way as it writes to any
other storage medium.
1.Insert a blank CD or DVD into the touch screen’s CD/DVD drive. You may also be able to write
to a partly-used CD or DVD, if the disc has not been ‘closed’.

ejected.
NOTEIf you have scanned an image to a file on the touch screens hard disk, you cannot
then copy the file to a CD or DVD using the touch screen. To do that, you must put the saved
file in the shared folder (D:\images) and copy it to the disc using a computer on the same
network (see 
Access the shared folder from my computer).
Access the shared folder from my computer
The scanner system provides a shared folder D:\images that can be accessed from other computers
over a network. For security reasons, no other folders on the scanner system can be accessed over
a network. Therefore, in order to access scanned images from other computers, you must save them
in D:\images.
In order to establish a connection over the network, you will need to know the IP address of your
scanner system. You can obtain this from the scanners touch screen, as follows:
1.Press the Setup tab on the touch screen.
2.In the Setup tab, press the Options button.
3.In the Options box, press the General button.
4.In the General box, press the About button.
5.You will find the scanners IP address among the information in the About box.

5.Enter your own choice of name by which you will refer to the folder on this computer, then click
Next.
To access the shared folder subsequently, double-click My Network Places, and you will see the
new folder in the Network Places window. You can, if you like, drag the folder to your desktop for
easier access.

							The paper cannot be loaded successfully [4000]
NOTEThis topic applies to the HP Designjet 4000 Printer series only.
●The paper may be loaded at an angle (skewed or mislocated). Check that the right-hand edge
of the paper is aligned with the half-circle on the right-hand side of the platen and, particularly in
the case of sheet paper, that the leading edge is aligned with the metal bar in the platen.
●The paper may be crumpled or warped, or may have irregular edges.
Rolls
●If the paper gets stuck in the paper path to the platen, it may be that the leading edge of the
paper is not straight or clean, and needs to be trimmed. Remove the initial 2 cm (1 in) from the
roll and try again. This may be necessary even with a new roll of paper.
●Check that the spindle is correctly inserted. The spindle lever on the right should be in the
horizontal position.
●Check that the paper is correctly loaded on the spindle, and that it loads over the roll towards
you.
●Check that the paper is wound tightly on the roll.
Sheets
●Check that the leading edge of the sheet is aligned with the cutter channel in the platen.
●Do not use hand-cut sheets, which may be of irregular shapes. Use only purchased sheets.
Here is a list of front panel messages related to paper loading, with the suggested corrective
action.
