Set Platen at Bottom of Form
Some special forms have perforation areas that are thicker than the rest of the
form. Enable this parameter when you are using this type of form. This
parameter, when open is selected, allows the platen to open and close when
perforations thicker than the rest of a form move across the platen.
To retain print quality with this type of form, set the position of the first and last
print lines to avoid printing where paper thickness occurs (before and after the
perforation). See Forms Length on page 237.
•
Disable (the default)
•
Open
NOTE: When enabling this parameter, you must set the forms length to
match the physical distance between perforations.
Shuttle Timeout
The SHUTTLE TIMEOUT parameter determines the amount of time the
shuttle will continue running after printing stops. This allows the shuttle to
continue moving during the time between print jobs when the print jobs arrive
at frequent intervals. Time is saved if the shuttle is still moving when a print
job arrives at the printer, since the printer does not have to wait for the shuttle
to reach its operating speed.
•
5 Seconds (the default)
•
1 – 60 Seconds
Energy Saver Timer
This parameter helps to reduce power consumption when the printer is not in
use in order to reduce air pollution caused by power generation. Use of this
feature can cut energy use by more than 50 percent.
ENERGY SAVER TIMER determines the amount of time that expires before
the printer reduces power after printing stops. The energy saver mode can
select an energy saver activation time from instant to 60 minutes. The
selections are:
•
15 Minutes (the default)
•
1 – 60 Minutes
•
240 Mins
•
Instant
•
5 – 30 Seconds.
NOTE: If the printer enters energy saver mode while NOT READY, the
printer will not print any jobs until made READY by pressing the Start
key.
