Choosing "Feed Media" Options; Detecting The "End Of Media - Oce CS 5050 User Manual

Choosing "feed media" options

The printer's "Feed media" options allow you to:
set the "end of media" detection
use the media counter to estimate the remaining media length

Detecting the "end of media"

When the media jams or does not unroll properly from the feeder roll, it cannot
advance through the printer. However, the carriage sensor still detects the
presence of media and printing progresses. This damages the print job because
the printer continues to lay down ink on the same portion of media.
The "End of media/Feeder stop" option can limit the damage in these cases.
When the printer detects an abnormally long absence of the media loop
between the feeder roll and the platen, it automatically enters the "pause"
mode, as if you had manually pressed "Pause" on the control panel menu.
The printer beeps 3 times every 20 seconds, and remains in the "pause" mode
until you either:
manually press "Pause" to resume printing ("Pause" is a toggle function)
manually press "Reset" to abort printing . Abort the print job from the
software application as well.
When you use this setting, keep in mind the following principles:
This setting does not work with cut sheets as the selected media
This setting is a machine setting and therefore activates each time you switch
on the printer, until you manually turn it off from the control panel menu
You cannot store this setting as a user setting
You cannot change this setting once printing begins
When you manually press "Pause" to resume printing, the "Feeder stop"
detection disables for the remainder of the print
When activated, the "Feeder stop" detection restarts at the beginning of each
print
