Legal timing
Legal timing refers to the time between the first page picked and the second page picked.
Legal timing is the time it takes for a Legal page to go through the engine’s paper path.
The HP LaserJet 1100 Printer may run at legal timing if manual feed is selected. If the first
manual feed page is followed by a second manual feed page, the first manual feed page will
run at legal timing. If a manual feed page is followed by a non-manual feed page, the manual
feed page will run at engine speed.
Paper size change
The paper tray is merely a source for paper; it cannot detect the size of the paper. Therefore,
the user must inform the printer what size paper is being used. This is normally done
automatically by the user’s software application. However, this can be done on a job-by-job
basis by sending the PCL Page Size escape sequence or setting the PJL PAPER variable.
The PCL escape sequence for paper size takes precedence over the PJL PAPER setting.
The user may load a new size of paper and not modify the PJL or PCL variable. Therefore,
the paper size may be too large or too small for the formatted page. The image that has
been formatted will be placed on the sheet of paper and fed through the printer.
Scanner paper handling
The scanner can handle a slightly wider range of paper sizes than the print engine. It will
have a single automatic document feeder (ADF) that supplies a single straight paper path.
The ADF has no paper sensor, so the scanner will attempt a paper pickup to determine if the
bin is empty or not. Therefore, when a job is started, it attempts to pick a page to make sure
a page is available in the ADF. Once a job is started, the scanner continues to pick pages
until the ADF is empty. The ADF has no ability to tell how wide the source page is, so page
scan width has to be set from the computer.
