JAM” appears on the message display, and the printer stops printing. Disable
PMD only if special paper requires it.
CAUTION Once PMD is disabled, paper motion is not monitored. If
a paper jam occurs, the printer ignores the condition and
continues to print, possibly causing damage to the printer.
Open Platen @ BOF (Bottom of Form)
Some special forms have perforation areas that are too thick to pass through the
print station. This parameter, when enabled, opens and closes the platen when
the perforations move across the platen. When enabling this parameter, you must
set the forms length to match the physical distance between perforations.
Slow Paper Slew
This parameter affects the speed at which paper advances into the stacking area
of the printer. The speed may be slowed by enabling this feature.
•
Disable: The printer will slew and stack paper at maximum speed.
•
Enable: Causes the paper to stack at a slower rate. This ensures that
certain forms will stack more neatly.
Power Saver Time
The time interval you specify for this parameter sets the amount of idle time
before the printer goes into Power Saver mode. When Instant is chosen, the
printer goes into Power Saver mode as soon as it is able to stop the shuttle
properly. The time allotted to perform this function is dependant on the shuttle
timeout value which can be set in the menu.
Pressing any key will remove the power saver message from the control panel.
Sending a print job to the printer will turn off power saver mode.
