Multiroll printing
 

The uses of a multiroll printer
A multiroll printer can be useful in several different ways:
●The printer can automatically switch between di
fferent paper types according to your needs.
● The printer can automatically switch between different paper widths according to your needs. This
enables you to save paper by printi
ng smaller images on narrower paper.
● If you load two or more identical rolls into the printer, you can leave it printing unattended for a
long time, because it can switch from one roll...

Here are some settings that might be used in typical situations:
● With different paper types loaded:
◦
Type is : select the paper type you require
◦ Source is : Automatically sele ct / Predetermined
◦ Roll switching policy : doesnt matter
● With different paper widths loaded:
◦
Type is : Any
◦ Source is : Automatically sele ct / Predetermined
◦ Roll switching policy : Minimize paper waste
TIP:You can also save paper in some cases by rotating or nesting your images. See Use paper
economically on page...
