Lead Edge Dead Space Adjustment - Oki LP-1040 Maintenance Manual

10.4 Lead Edge Dead Space Adjustment

The Printer has 3 mm (0.12 inches) of dead space at the lead edge of the paper.
However, if the user wants, this dead space can be reduced so that the Printer can print up to
the very tip of the lead edge of the paper.
To perform this adjustment, select Parameter in Engine Maintenance Mode, and enter 659 for
End Clip Value.
Note
 When performing this adjustment, make sure that the user understands and agrees that
making such an adjustment will increase the chance of paper jams.
The lead edge dead space is a clipping amount that separates the paper from the heat roller
when fusing. Therefore, the smaller this amount, the higher the chance of a paper jam
occurring. (Especially if there is high density data being printed at the lead edge of the paper.)
 The value set during line end clip adjustment will not go into effect until the Printer is restarted.
1.
Enter Engine Maintenance Mode and select Parameter.
2.
Select 659 under In 600s.
3.
Set the dead space (mm) you want converted to the number of lines.
Example:
If you want to set the dead space to 1 mm (0.039 inches)
(Default value: 71 lines = 3.0 mm (0.12 inches))
Calculate how many lines 1 mm equals (1 line = 0.042333 mm) and set that value.
1 ÷ 0.042333 = 23.62 or 24 lines
4.
Save the value to the EEPROM.
5.
Turn the printer Off, then On again to restart it.
6.
From the computer you can now send the printer data that prints at the tip of the tail edge of the
paper to test if it can be printed correctly.
