Manual feed slots paper thickness - Auto mode
The setting for Manual feed thick paper and auto mode is the function
only to deal with using manual feed slots(front/rear). After checking the
result of the printing by the manual feeding, this function becomes
effective when the printing is blurry or faint. The reason why there is this
kind of function only for manual feeding is that the printer can not
recognize the paper thickness, unlike the other paper feed cassettes.
There is no influence on the other paper feeding path(or standard
cassette or optional cassette), when this function becomes effective.
Also, unless this function is set effective, manual paper feeding always
make PG(platen gap) big or wider and perform printing. Following shows
conditions when the PG becomes wider(big).
