Manual Feed Mode
This section describes only the standard specifications. Further specifications are
described in the Basic Operation Specifications for Page Printer.
<Outline>
Manual Feed mode is useful when users want to use a special type of paper for which
no paper feeder of the printer has not been set. For printing in this mode, the printer
displays Manual Feed mode and waits user's operation before executing Manual Feed
printing job. As the paper source, priority is given to the Manual feed slot.

Unit of job in Manual Feed mode (unit of job controlled by Printqueue)
• Printing from Network: one job per connection
• The job is started by job start command of EJL/PJL.
• The job will be ended when the receiving time-out (Selectype setting) occurs.

[Restriction]
If many data in Manual Feed mode are sent continuously on the conditions under
which distinction between jobs can not be made, the printer recognizes them as
one job. Then the printer does not display the Manual Feed mode at the beginning
of the 2nd data and thereafter sheets will be fed continuously.
NOTE: When the following data, namely, Data 1 and Data 2, are sent to the
printer even on the same conditions as mentioned above under
which distinction between jobs can not be made, the printer
recognizes the mode correctly.
That is, when the data are sent in the order of Data 1 and Data 2,
the Data 2 will be printed in normal mode. When the data are sent
in the order of Data 2 and Data 1, the Data 1 will be printed in
Manual Feed mode.
