4. Extended Paper Mode
The extended paper mode allows papers longer than A3/Ledger size to feed in and out through the machine.
By registering papers of lengths more than 432mm and less than 556 (papers lengths between 433mm to
555mm), and if that paper is selected for the printing, the machine goes into Extended Paper Mode.
The Extended Paper Mode ejects one sheet of paper in two print drum rotations. The image is printed on the
first print drum rotation. The second print drum rotation ejects the remaining length of the paper over the
standard maximum length of 432mm.
During the second print drum rotation, the machine does not activate the paper feed clutch (the next paper is
not fed). The guide roller release solenoid is activated ON to prevent the guide roller from nipping against the
timing roller --- the remaining portion of the paper is not pinched by these two rollers. The pressure solenoid
is turned OFF so the pressure roller does not hit against the print drum --- the remaining amount of paper is not
pinched between the print drum and the pressure roller. The remaining portion of the paper ejects out from the
machine by the inertia.
If the extended size paper is printed with the machine not in the extended paper mode, the machine stops after
feeding one sheet by paper jam.
papers, the machine keeps on printing, but feeds only one sheet for every two print drum rotations.
