Instructions

Installing the Printer

The plotter is an HP DesignJet t1100ps. It is connected to the network using an HP JetDirect EX interface. The printserver's IP address is 10.13.0.52. Please don't change the printserver's IP address or configuration, it is not at fault.

Drivers

Drivers for many O/Ss can be found here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-designjet-t1100-printer-series/3338887

How Much Does it Cost?

The printer will tell you the paper and ink used for each job. Please check the job online and contribute toward the consumables. This pays for both ink and paper. Put money in the box beside the printer and pat it on the back for a job well done.

Loading Paper

Loading Roll Paper

Please see the manual until it can be tested and summarized here.

Loading Sheet Paper

Please see the manual until it can be tested and summarized here.

Poster Printing

In Photoshop create a custom paper size matching the dimension of your poster. The dimension of the side of your poster you want parallel to the paper spool needs to be in the width section. Set the layout to landscape and keep an eye on the first few passes of the print head to confirm it is printing in the correct orientation!

Please see the manual until it can be tested and summarized here.

When You're Done

Before you walk away, make sure that the printhead is "parked" on the left side. Do not turn the machine off. It will go into sleep mode on its own. Turning it off will result in it doing a lengthy (20 minute) calibration when turned back on. Please see the manual until it can be tested and summarized here.

For More Information

The user manual for the printer is available here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00911766 The paper manuals are on the printer itself.

Useful user notes

You can submit jobs directly through the web interface. Make sure your print job is already saved to the size you want it to print out from what ever program you made it in(if you want the poster to be 35 in wide by 52 long, then save is as 32inx52in). Also make sure that it is saved in portrait direction. Whichever side is at the top of the screen will be what comes out of the printer 1st. If you try to rotate the image in Linux, the rotation will not be recognised in the web interface. Rotate it in Windows instead.
