printed?
When a user sends a job, the desired paper type can be set (in the driver or in the Embedded Web
Server). The printer will print the job on a roll of paper of the chosen paper type that is large enough to
print the drawing without clipping. If there is more than one roll on which the job could...

printer needs to add margins, and the drawing needs 925 mm (36.4 in) of paper to be printed;
this would cause the job to be put on hold if the paper that is loaded on the printer is only 914

Troubleshooting print-quality issues
on page 164 for steps to determine if paper advance calibration will solve your issue.
