Page: 20 / 98

Density Modes
You can set the print density to your preference from zero to 10. 0 is
the lightest, 7 is the default (medium), and 10 is the darkest.
2-Ply Mode
For special applications where 2-ply paper is needed, this setting makes
prints that are darker (and print slower) than the density mode set to 10
as listed above.
Form Feed Modes
You can set how the printer ejects paper by using the following
options.
•
Fixed Page Mode - the paper always feeds at the end of a job to
complete the vertical page size specified (i.e., letter, legal, A4, or
user-defined size). Use this with cut sheet paper
• End of Page Mode - the printer feeds paper until an “out-of-
paper” condition is found, or a maximum of 14” (35.6 cm). Use
this with perforated paper.
• No Feed Mode - there is no paper feed at the end of a job. This is
typically used with non-perforated roll paper to save paper.
- No Feed Mode Extra Feed - this option is used in conjunction
with the No Feed Mode to eject paper by setting the number of
lines to be ejected (at 200-dpi for PocketJet 3 or 300-dpi for
PocketJet 3 Plus) after the end of a document.
NOTE: The “Extra Feed” mode only affects the last page of a
document. The bottom margin as selected by the application has
no effect. The top margin actually defines the total top and bottom
margin between pages of a multi-page job.
Selecting Media
