Paper Type
Paper Type allows you to set the printer for either standard or
synthetic paper. The default is Standard; use this setting for most
types of media. Use the Synthetic setting for special types of media
such as plastic cards.
Burst On Eject
Burst on Eject allows you to use roll-feed paper that cannot be cut
(separated) or parked (backed out of the print engine).
• With fanfold paper, whenever you change the page size or
press the PAGE EJECT key, the printer automatically
separates the currently loaded paper at the perforation, and
backs the unprinted paper out of the engine.
• With roll-feed paper, the printer cannot separate the paper
because there are no perforations. Burst on Eject must be set
to Disable. The perforations separator is not used, and paper is
never rolled back out of the engine. If you need to remove the
paper before the entire roll is used, it must be manually
removed.
When Burst on Eject is disabled, it allows these switch functions:
• PAGE EJECT: When you press PAGE EJECT or send a
~PAGE EJECT command, the paper is not separated and is
not rolled back into the printer. Instead, enough forms are
inserted to fuse and move all pages physically out of the
printer. The exact distance depends on the current Paper
Length selection. The paper moves a minimum of 25.5 inches.
The printer uses Paper Length and not Form Length for paper
motion. If the current Form Length is not a multiple of 1/6 inch,
the exact distance the paper is moved is not a multiple of the
form size. When using a preprinted roll-feed form, the physical
top-of-form may be lost.
• FORM SIZE CHANGE: A form size change operates the same
as pressing the PAGE EJECT key. Instead of separating the
form, enough form feeds are inserted to move the printed
pages out of the printer.
