1.4 Eject Function
This section explains the eject function. There are two types of eject functions as shown
here.
• The remaining data is forcibly ejected.
• All the jobs in the printer are eliminated.
To Forcibly Eject Remaining Data
For HP-GL and HP-GL/2 emulation modes, data is not ejected until a full page of data has
accumulated. When using a parallel interface, if operations stop while the data for the last
page is being transferred, the printer waits for the next data until the time set [Auto Eject
Time] has passed, and the “Waiting for data” appears in the display.
In this kind of situation, forced eject does not wait for automatic eject and just forces all of
the data in the printer to print out.
The procedure is shown below.
Note
• When “Waiting for data” appears in the display, the next job sent to the printer may not be printed
correctly. Send the next job after forced eject or after the automatic eject time has been exceeded.
Refer to
• Auto Eject Time: User Guide 4.2 Description of Menu Items
1. Press the <Eject/Set> button when the
display shown to the right appears.
Printing will start.
When printing is finished, “Ready to print”
appears in the display.
Important
• When the common menu item [Print Mode] is set to
[Auto], “Waiting for data” does not appear, so forced
eject does not occur.
