Setting Up Your HP DesignJet 1055cm Plotter
The HP DesignJet 1055cm is a robust, professional-grade plotter optimized for high-quality color output and speed. A successful installation involves careful physical preparation, connecting it to your office network, and installing the specific drivers required for large-format media management.
1. Initial Plotter Setup (For All Users)
Due to the size and weight of this professional equipment, take care during assembly.
- Unbox and Assemble: The 1055cm is a very large unit. Assemble the stand and the media catch basket as per the instructions. Place the plotter unit securely onto the assembled stand.
- Install Printheads and Ink Cartridges: Open the ink system access panel. The 1055cm uses separate, large-capacity Ink Cartridges and replaceable Printheads for each of the four colors (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow).
- Install Supplies: Insert the four ink cartridges into the supply slots, followed by the four printheads into their corresponding carriage slots. The plotter will run an automatic alignment sequence to prime the system.
- Load Paper (Roll Media): Load your paper roll onto the spindle. Insert the roll into the feed path, ensuring the media is straight and loaded correctly. Use the front panel to confirm the media type and roll size.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cable into the back of the plotter and into a dedicated, reliable wall outlet. Press the Power button on the front panel to turn the plotter on.
