Paper switching on a DOUBLE-roll printer model and Auto rotation

When ON is selected for Auto rotation, first a decision is made about performing Auto rotation and the paper with less margin in the width direction is selected and starts printing.

At this point, it is decided whether to apply Auto rotation and then the paper source is selected considering the condition such as whether the image is cut off or not, margin of paper width, and paper consumption.

This function is available when the paper settings of the printer are specified.

• Both upper and lower roll paper loaded, with paper fed from the upper roll.
• Identify size is selected for Device settings > Paper-related settings > Roll paper auto switching.
• Auto select is selected for Device settings > Print settings > HP-GL/2 print settings > Paper settings > Paper src.

When the output page is in portrait orientation, image rotation is done first to conserve paper.

For a rotated image that is in landscape orientation, either the upper or lower paper roll is selected for printing based on which roll results in the narrower side margins.

EXAMPLE OF PAPER SWITCHING ON A DOUBLE-ROLL PRINTER MODEL AND Auto rotation

Print data (image drawing range)

Image after auto rotation

Image printed on upper roll paper already fed (Not printed)

Image printed on lower roll paper already fed (Actually printed)

If the lower roll of paper has smaller margins than the upper roll of paper, from which the paper has been fed, then paper is switched automatically, and the image is printed on the lower roll paper.
