of different paper types on different spindles. Extra spindles are available for purchase.
Load a roll into the printer [4520]
NOTE:This topic applies to the HP Designjet 4520 Printer series only.
To start this procedure you need to have a roll loaded on the spindle. See 
Load a roll onto the spindle
[4520] on page 31.
1.At the printers front panel, select the  icon, then Paper load > Load roll 1 or Load roll 2.
TIP:This step is optional. You may skip it and start the loading process without using the front
panel, by pulling out the drawer as shown below.
ENWW Load a roll into the printer [4520] 33

							2.Lift the drawer upwards a little, then pull it towards you.
3.Load the roll and spindle into the drawer. Hold the roll as shown by the paper stops at each end of
the spindle. Try to avoid touching the paper surface.
CAUTION:Two people may be needed to load a heavy roll.
4.Lift the paper load lever. Lift the upper lever if you are loading the upper roll, the lower lever if you
are loading the lower roll.
5.Make sure that the leading edge of the paper is free from wrinkles, tears and excessive curl, as
these defects may cause a paper jam. If necessary, trim the leading edge before loading (see 
Trim
the paper with the manual cutter [4520] on page 38).

							6.Feed the paper from roll 1 onto the drawer 1 platen. Align the paper parallel with the blue lines on
the right side of the platen. The paper edge does not need to be aligned exactly with a specific blue
line, but between the two outer lines.
7.Feed the paper for a few centimeters more after the printer beeps, then turn the roller backwards
to tension the paper correctly.
8.Lower the paper load lever.
9.Push the drawer back into position.

							10.Wind excess paper back onto the roll. Use the paper stop to turn the roll in the direction shown.
11.If the printer is unable to detect the paper type, the front panel displays a list of paper types.
Select the paper type you are using. If it is not clear which you should select, see Supported paper
types on page 200.
12.The front panel asks you to specify the length of the roll you are loading. After you have done so,
it will start to load the roll.
NOTE:Specifying the roll length is not obligatory (you can select Unknown) and has no effect
on the printers behavior. However, if you give the length, subsequently the printer will keep track
of how much paper is used, and will keep you informed of the remaining length (assuming that the
value you originally gave was accurate).
13.If the printers first attempt to load the roll is unsuccessful, it will automatically wind the paper
backwards and try again without requiring any assistance.
If this second attempt is unsuccessful, it will try a third time, but this time the front panel will request
your assistance.
14.The printer will perform a color calibration, if it has not already calibrated the paper type you are
using, and if color calibration is turned on. See 
Perform color calibration on page 68.
15.The front panel displays the Ready message and the printer is ready to print.

Trim the paper with the manual cutter [4520]
NOTE:This topic applies to the HP Designjet 4520 Printer series only.
The manual cutter can be used to trim the leading edge of the paper if it is dirty or uneven. This helps
to avoid paper jams during loading.
1.Open the drawer of the roll that you intend to trim.
2.With your left hand, pull the leading edge of the paper over the top of the roll and then down in front
of the drawer.
3.Find the manual cutter on the right side of the drawer.

View information about the paper
At the printers front panel, select the  or icon, then Paper information, then choose the paper
source on which you want information.
You will see the following information displayed on the front panel:
●The roll or sheet status
NOTE:The HP Designjet 4520 Printer series prints on roll paper only.
●The paper manufacturers name
●The paper type you have selected
●The width of the paper in millimeters (estimated by the printer)
●The length of the paper in millimeters (estimated by the printer)
If no paper is loaded, the message Out of paper is displayed.
The same information (apart from the manufacturers name) is displayed on the Embedded Web
Servers Supplies page.
Download media profiles
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes
the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may
require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each
paper type. This description is called the “media profile”. The media profile contains the ICC profile,
which describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other
characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related to color. Existing media profiles
for your printer are already installed in the printers software.
However, you would find it inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available for your printer,
so your printer contains media profiles for only the most commonly used paper types. If you buy a paper
type for which your printer has no media profile, you will find that you cannot select that paper type in
the front panel. To download the correct media profile, go to:
