  3. The spindle has a stop at each end to keep the roll in position. The blue stop can be removed to mount a new roll; it slides along the spindle to hold rolls of different widths. Remove the blue paper stop from the end of the spindle.

  4. If the roll is long; rest the spindle horizontally on a table and load the roll on the table.
    note:
    You may need two people to handle a large roll.
  5. Slide the new roll onto the spindle. Make sure the paper type is oriented as shown. If it is not, remove the roll, turn it 180 degrees and slide it back on to the spindle. There are labels on the spindle showing the correct orientation.
    note:
    From the back of the product, the blue stopper is inserted into the right-side holder.

    Ensure both ends of the roll are as close to the spindle stops as possible.

  7. Ensure the blue paper stop is pushed in as far as it goes; until both ends are against the stoppers.
If you are a regular user of different paper types, you can change rolls more quickly if you preload rolls of different paper types on different spindles. Extra spindles are available for purchase, see Accessories in the HP Designjet T2300 eMFP Series - Using Your Product guide.
