							Select paper mismatch action
If the paper currently loaded in the printer is not suitable for a  particular job, the printer can either put
the job on hold until some suitable paper is loade d, or it can ignore the problem and print the job on
the unsuitable paper. There are two ways in which the loaded paper may be considered unsuitable:
● The paper type is not as specified for the job
● The paper size is smaller than specified for the job
You can set the printers behavior in  such cases from the front panel.
● Select the Setup menu icon 
, then  Job management options  > Select paper
mismatch action  > Print anyway  if you want such jobs to print on whatever paper is
loaded. This is the default option.
● Select the Setup menu icon 
, then  Job management options  > Select paper
mismatch action  > Put job on hold  if you want such jobs to be put on hold. The printer will
send an alert whenever a job is put on hold.
When a job is put on hold for paper, it is kept in  the printer queue until some suitable paper is loaded
(in which case, all jobs waiting for that paper typ e can be printed). Meanwhile, other jobs with
different requirements  can continue printing.

							Overview
Paper is only a subset of the portfolio of printing materials that the printer can handle. You can also
print on a wide variety of films, textiles and fa brics, self-adhesive materials, and banner and sign
materials. Throughout this guid e, however, these materials are  generally referred to as paper.
NOTE:Because the front panel has limited space, the names of the HP paper might be abbreviated
and might not appear in the front panel exactly as they are shown on the packaging label.
NOTE: Because the complete list of  supported paper is very long,  only the most common paper types
appear in the front panel. If you wa nt to see an HP paper type that does not appear on the front panel,
download the paper preset from 
http://www.hp.com/go/Z6200/paperpresets/. See Download
paper presets on page 47.
NOTE: The automatic paper-cutter feature is disabled  for some of the heaviest paper types, because
some heavy paper ca n damage the cutter.
Use paper
Choosing the correct paper type for  your needs is an essential step in ensuring good print quality. For
best printing results, use on ly recommended HP paper (see 
Supported paper types on page 31), HP
papers have been developed and thoroughly tested  to ensure reliable performance. All printing
components (printer, ink system, and paper) have been designed to wo rk together to offer trouble-free
operation and ensure optimal print quality.
Here are some additional tips about paper usage:
● Allow all paper types to adapt to room condition
s, out of the packaging, for 24 hours before
using them for printing.
● Handle film and photo paper by the edges, or we
ar cotton gloves. Skin oils can be transferred to
the paper, leaving fingerprint marks.
● Keep the paper tightly wound on the roll thro
ughout the loading and unloading procedures. To
make sure that the roll stays tightly wound, consider using tape to stick th e leading edge of the roll
to the core just before removing the roll from  the printer. You can keep the roll taped during
storage. If the roll starts to unwind , it can become difficult to handle.
NOTE:The use of tape to attach the  leading edge of the roll is especially important for 76.2-mm
(3-in) cores, in which the inherent stiffness of th e printing material can cause the material to loosen
and unwind from its core.
● Whenever you load a roll, the front panel prompt
s you to specify the paper type that you are
loading. For good print quality, it is essential to  specify this correctly. Make sure that the paper
name that is printed on the packaging labe l matches the description on the front panel.
If you cannot find a spec ific paper on the front-panel display, go to 
http://www.hp.com/go/
Z6200/paperpresets/ to download the latest paper preset  to your printer, or select the paper
description that best matches the paper name printed on the packaging label.
● The quality of some images might 
be reduced if you use a paper type that is unsuitable for your
image. This is especially important to consider when printing on fiber-based papers such as HP
Universal Coated Paper, HP Coated Paper, HP  Heavyweight Coated Paper and HP Universal
Heavyweight Coated Paper.  Printing images that contain high-saturation area fills on fiber-based
papers can create unwanted wavy patterns as a  result of paper expansion. This can ultimately
contribute to more severe prob lems. Consider using Super Heav yweight Coated Paper and other
cockle-free papers when printing high-saturation area fills.

							●Make sure that the appropriate pr
int-quality setting (Best, Normal, or Fast) is selected. You can set
the print quality in the driver, in the Embedded Web Server, or on the front panel. Driver or
Embedded Web Server settings override front pa nel settings. The combination of paper type and
print-quality settings tells the printer how to pl ace the ink on the paper—for example, the ink
density and halfto ning method. See 
Select print quality on page 82.
● Although the ink systems that are supplied with th
is printer have good light-fastness, colors will
eventually fade or change if exposed to  sunlight over a long period of time
● If the paper type shown on the fr
ont panel does not correspond to  the paper that you intend to
use, take one of the following actions:
◦ Reload the roll into the printer an
d select the correct paper type. See 
Unload a roll from the
printer on page 37 and Load a roll into the printer on page 36.
◦ Use the Embedded Web Server or the HP Utili
ty to reconfigure the paper type for the roll.
◦ At the printers front panel, select the 
 icon, then Change active paper type .
NOTE:The paper advance calibration is not performed when the paper type is changed
from the front panel.
Drying time
With some paper types and under certain environmen tal conditions, the ink needs some time to dry
before the paper is unloaded. The following  settings are available for each paper type:
● Automatic : the printer automatically determines the  appropriate drying time, based on the paper
you have selected and the current  temperature. If any drying time is required, a “drying time to
go” countdown appears on the front panel.
● Extended : the default drying time is  extended. This can be used if  you find that the default
drying time is sufficient to dry the ink.
● Reduced : the default drying time is reduced. This can  be used if you want to get prints as fast as
possible, and you find that the reduced drying  time causes no significant problem in your
environment.
● None : no drying time is provided. This can be us ed, for example, if you are manually removing
the prints as quickly as the printer is producing them.
● Manual : this allows you to specify  the drying time (in seconds).
To change the drying time, see 
Change the drying time on page 49 .
Supported paper types
The following table lists the most common paper types  that are suitable for use with your printer, and
shows the name that you should select on the front  panel when loading each paper type. If you want to
use an HP paper that does not ap pear on the front panel, go to 
http://www.hp.com/go/Z6200/
paperpresets/ and download the appropriate paper preset.  You need to download a preset only once;
the printer stores it for future use and it  subsequently appears in the front panel .
For the part numbers, widths, and weights of these papers, see 
Order paper on page 50.
