Switching Rolls According to Page Size

If you frequently print drawings of various sizes, you can set the printer to automatically switch the roll paper according to the page size of the print job.
Note: The appearance of the print window may differ slightly from those shown here, depending on the Windows or Mac version you are using.
  1. Load paper of the same type and different size into Roll 1 and Roll 2.
  2. Select > General Settings > Printer Settings > Paper Source Settings > Roll Paper Setup > Roll Switching > Auto > Paper Width from the printer’s control panel.
  3. Choose from the following:
    • Select Optimize Margins to print on the roll paper with smaller margins.
    • Select Width Match to print on the roll paper with the same paper width as the print job.
      Note: Select Disable to print regardless of the paper width.
  4. Choose from the following:
    • Windows: Display the printer driver's Printer Settings screen, and then select Roll Auto as the Source setting.


      Select Document Size > Settings > Page Size and set the paper size set in the software.


    • Mac: Display the Print screen on your computer, make sure roll paper is selected as the Paper Size, and then select Auto as the Paper Source setting.


  5. Select other settings as necessary, then print.
The printer will automatically switch to the roll that has the same paper size as the print job.
