complete print job. This credit should be in place before any
printing takes place. Large format costings are as follows;

• Large format print charges are based on a cost of £4.20 per
square metre of print.
• It is the same cost for printing in black and white or colour.
• Price is based on the assumption that your page is on automatic
rotation in the print properties option – this is the default.

Follow this procedure to print a large format poster/banner;
SETTING UP THE PRINTER
1. Log on to a PC in the library or the PC adjacent to the printer.
The PC adjacent to the printer is a more powerful PC capable of
dealing with larger files and has several design related software
packages already installed. This is the best option if you are
struggling with the printing process.
2. Firstly you will need to add the Colorwave 700 large format
printer to your printer list. You do this by selecting the following;
Start – All apps – Connect to Network Printers
From the printer name list select:
LIB-GroundFloor-LargeFormat
Wait for a moment for the driver to install. You should now be
connected to the Colorwave 700 large format printer.
PRINTING
We recommend printing either from JPEG or PDF. Do not attempt
to print from any Microsoft Office based applications.

PRINTING A JPEG
1Open your JPEG with Windows Photo Viewer.
2Select Print from the Print drop down.
3Select the wide format printer from the printer drop down list -
LIB-GroundFloor-LargeFormat.

PRINTING A PDF
PDF’s are opened with Adobe Acrobat. There are two versions
of this package available on the UCLan system.You may encounter
problems printing from the Acrobat Reader DC that is available
as default on the UCLan system. As a result we highly recommend
installing Adobe Acrobat Pro from the Application catalogue. To
do this select the following;
Start - All Apps - Application Catalogue then select Acrobat
Pro DC - 2018 and INSTALL.
1Save your document as a PDF from the software/application
responsible for the document creation. NOTE - Only open the
PDF after installing the printer.
2Right click your PDF file and select Open with Adobe Acrobat
DC - NOT Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Once your PDF is open
select File and then Print.
3Select the printer Properties box – wait a few moments for the
printer properties settings to load.

12 If your artwork is not the size of the print you require make sure
the Fit option in Page Size & Handling is highlighted. This will
scale your artwork to the size you selected in the print properties.
The Actual size option will print the exact same size of your
created document.
13 If required change the print quantity in the copies box.
14 Select Print to send your job to the Oce Colorwave printer. Visit
the printer in the room adjacent to UCLan Print to collect your
prints.
Please note:
• You do not need to use the touch panel on the printer.
• The Printer touch panel will state it is ‘locked’- this is normal.
• Wait until the printer fully releases the print before removal.
15 Cut off any excess white areas using the guillotine. Please
guillotine 1sheet at a time only. You will potentially damage the
guillotine and your artwork if you exceed this amount.

PLEASE NOTE
• The printer is loaded with 1 type of paper stock - 90gsm Matt. If
you desire a different stock please visit UCLan Print. Do not try
to load any paper into the printer.
• UCLan printers require sufficient printing credit to cover
the cost of the complete print job. This credit needs to be on
your account before you send a print the the wide format printer.
• Please note prints from this printer cannot be hot laminated. If
you require a laminated poster visit UCLan Print.
• For both JPEG and PDF files keep the DPI as low as possible.150
DPI is recommended - anything larger than 200 DPI may cause
issues.
• File size is a major issue with printing over a network. PDF files
should have layers ‘flattened’ before sending a file to print.
• Avoid sending multiple page PDFs for printing as this may cause
issues.
• Do not attempt to print from any Microsoft Office applications.
This will create problems.
• If your document has an extra white page after your desired
artwork the printer will print a whole white page - you will be
charged for this. Always check your page count.
• If you encounter a problem do not repeat sending files to the
printer. Ask a staff member for assistance.
• Refunds will only be given for printer/network errors. Not user
errors.
• If you are having problems try using the PC adjacent to the
printer
