The HPDJ500 plotter in the Pappalardo lab can print
rolls up to 42 inches wide. Please check what type of paper is in the plotter
before using it. Only print on the expensive, glossy, photo paper
for final presentation materials (not drafts). If you need help changing
the paper please ask for assistance.
The 2.009 computers in the Pappalardo lab are configured to print
to the plotter.
- Make sure that the document size is set to what you want. (For
example, in Photoshop, go to Image, then Image Size… Change
the unit in document size to inches. The width and height of the
actual document will be displayed.)
- Select HP DJ 500 42 (plotter) as the printer.
- Click on Properties...
- Make sure that Paper is set to Roll and 42 inch roll. (This should
already be set as default). You can set the paper size to match
your document size and then choose the scale to fit option. Under
the scale option you will again need to set the paper size. Although
bizarre, this seems to be the most reliable way to obtain a plot
of the correct size.
- Set preferred Quality and Orientation.
- Print.
