Choosing Feed Media Options; End Of Media - ENCAD 215319-1 User Manual

Choosing feed media options

Feed media options allow you to:
• define End of Media
• display/enter Media Counter values
Note: Media feeding and loading are described in the Quick Start Guide.

End of media

There are circumstances where the media does not fully advance through the printer. In
this case, the carriage board sensor continues to detect the presence of media and the
printer continues to print. This creates a mess as the printer continues to lay down ink
on the same portion of media.
If the End of Media feature is set to FEEDER STOP, the printer will look for an abnor-
mally long absence of the loop of media that occurs between the feeder roll and the
platen. After 20 seconds, the printer enters pause mode just as if the you had pressed
PAUSE from the main menu. The printer will remain in pause mode until you press
PAUSE (which toggles to the resume state) or you press RESET. Pressing PAUSE
allows you to continue the current print at your discretion.
A few rules regarding the End of Media feature:
• will not work with Cut Sheet selected as supply type.
• setting is remembered across power cycles.
• setting is not stored as a user parameter.
• setting cannot be changed once a plot begins to print.
• if you press PAUSE to resume the print, detection is disabled for the remainder of
the print.
• if enabled, detection is reinstated at the beginning of each print.
• when the printer is in pause mode due to End of Media, the printer will beep 3
times every 20 seconds until the PAUSE or RESET buttons are pressed.
