PMS=Off: A paper jam will not produce an error message.
The Paper Motion Sensor (PMS) detects any paper jam or unintended paper
end condition and provides efficient protection against any paper transport
problems together with the paper end sensor. This prevents the printer
from printing on jammed paper or printing without paper. Disabling the
PMS can affect the operational reliability of your printer and should
therefore be avoided.
Confirm the setting by pressing the Set (1) key. Change to the next parameter
group with the Next key (4).
