How to install HP Universal Bond Paper, 3-in Core - 36"x575'

• Prepare the printer: Power down the HP PageWide XL printer, open the media cabinet, and verify that the roll path and take-up reels are clean and free of debris to prevent feed problems.
• Unload and load: Remove any remaining media from the printer’s current roll carriage. Insert the HP Universal Bond Paper roll with the edge feeding from the correct direction, ensuring the 3-inch core is seated securely on the spindle or core holder.
• Align the lead edge: Gently guide the leading edge of the media into the platen or feed path, ensuring it lies flat and square to prevent skewing during printing. Use alignment guides if your model provides them.
• Set printer parameters: In the printer driver, select 36" width and 575' length, choose Bond Paper as the media type, and enable ColorPRO settings for optimal color fidelity. If available, enable edge-to-edge printing and adjust for any color calibration recommendations.
• Calibrate color and test: Run a small job or a calibration page to verify color accuracy and line sharpness. Check for any smearing, curl, or misfeeds. If needed, adjust print quality and ink density to achieve clean, consistent output.
• Begin production: Once the test print meets expectations, proceed with your full print run. Maintain a steady feed and monitor for occasional media fluctuations during long jobs, scheduling intermittent checks if necessary.
