To help out with the Large Format Printer, post your ideas and comments on Slack.
Our Large Format Printer does not have a Take Up Reel (TUR).
Tips
- If printer reports "Print Head Path Error 2", check the (Illustrator) file to see if it has elements that need to be trimmed to fit within the artboard.
- Leave the "Language" set to "Automatic" (on the front panel: Setup > Device setup ... > Lang > Automatic),
otherwise you may get the message "Error processing job / Flushing rest of job".
- The media profile for "Hewlett-Packard/Studio Canvas" does not include cutting canvas at the end of the job, just use a pair of scissors instead.
