The problem is some paper types fail to be displayed

 

I want to print on a paper type that is not shown in the list of paper types in the Print settings panel

For every paper type / print quality combination, a separate table is available for an exact ink application control and for the spot color conversion. For this reason, the paper types available for selection are limited to some special HP paper types. You should always use one of these paper types for output on the HP Designjet 50ps (if necessary, visit the HP home page to obtain updated files that contain the latest paper type information).

If, however, HP paper types permitted for the HP Designjet 50ps fail to be shown in the scroll list, they may have been disabled on the server.

  • Start the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager on the HP Designjet 50ps server.
  • Switch to the Parameter tab and double-click the Output device parameters item to open it.
  • Check the Media Management panel to find out whether the desired paper type has been disabled for your system.
  • Note that you can use the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager to add media to the available set.

  • If so, the paper type can be enabled here (after consultation with the system administrator). Thus, the paper type will be available again when the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager is started the next time.

Note: Please remember that the paper type desired must be inserted at the printer and that the respective paper tray must be set to this type in the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager.

For further information, refer to the online help of the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager.
