ADJUSTMENT
Paper feed pressure adjustment
PURPOSE: To ensure smooth paper feed from the paper table.
•
The user has a choice of three different settings for the paper feed pressure
(Standard, Frequent, Very Frequent). The user sets this between jobs depending
on how often they think no-feed errors are occurring.
•
The setting is returned to the default by pressing the Clear Modes key or turning
the main switch off and back on. The default setting is “Standard”.
•
The pressure applied for each setting can be adjusted by SP mode.
1. Select SP mode “6” (Adjustment mode).
2. Input “91” with the number keys, then press the Enter key.
NOTE: SP90 is for special paper types (basically for envelopes), SP91 is for
standard paper types, and SP92 is for thick paper. If the user has
programmed as User 1 or User 2, you can change the paper feed
pressures with SP93 and SP94.
3. Change the settings as necessary.
