HP Designjet Z6100 Printer Series - Hold for preview feature

Preview a print on the screen to check the layout of the print before printing, which can help you to avoid wasting paper and ink.
Hinweis:
If the nesting feature is enabled, the preview image might not accurately reflect the actual print job.

Use the Embedded Web Server

  1. Go to the Submit Job page on the Main tab.
  2. In the Job Settings tree, select Basic settings.
  3. On the Hold for a preview drop-down menu, select Yes.
  4. Click the Print button to submit the job.
    In the print queue, you can see that the job has an “on hold” status.
  5. To preview the job, click the icon in the Preview column.
Hinweis:
The printer can store up to 64 pages for preview. If the job that you selected for preview contains more than 64 pages, the job will be canceled and purged without notification when the printer starts to process the sixty-fifth page. If you want to preview a job that has more than 64 pages, click the Continue button before the printer starts to process the sixty-fifth page. Because the preview image is ready as soon as the first page is processed, you should have enough time to check the preview image.

Use a driver

You cannot actually preview a print in the printer drivers. However, selecting the preview option in the driver opens the Embedded Web Server. You then see the image in the Embedded Web Server preview window.
  • To select the preview option in the Windows HP/GL-2 or PS drivers, go to the Printing shortcuts tab and select the Show preview before printing check box.
  • To select the preview option in the Mac OS driver, go to the Finishing panel and select the Show print preview check box.
  • You can also use your software program's print preview option.
