Cut to standard size

Specifies standard size as the output page size when printing on roll paper.

Select this setting item from Device settings > Print settings > HP-GL/2 print settings > Paper settings.

  • If OFF (Initial setting) is selected:

    Cutting according to standard size is not performed.

  • If ON is selected:

    Cuts to standard size in accordance with the roll paper width.

    When there are two lengths/widths applicable for a given roll paper width, the optimum size is selected automatically.

    Note

    • Nesting cannot be performed while ON is selected.
    • If ON is selected for Conserve paper and there is blank space above/below the image, the size will not be standard size.
    • When ON is selected for Print centered, printing will be in the center of the standard size.
    • If there is no standard size corresponding to the roll paper width, operation is the same as if OFF is selected. No message is displayed.
    • When there are multiple width/length candidates in the roll 1 (upper) and roll 2 (lower) in a double-roll printer model, the optimum standard size is selected automatically under the following conditions.

      • When any of the candidates accommodates the output page size, the standard size closest to the minimum image range is selected for efficient printing.
      • When none of the candidates accommodates the output page size, the largest standard size is selected to expand the print range.
    • For information about supported standard sizes, see the appendix at the back of this manual.
