End of media
End of media settings tell the printer how to proceed when the end of a media roll is reached.
When End of plot is set to
Feeder Stop
, the printer will look for an abnormally 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 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 Plot feature:
• will not work when
Sheet
is 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, end of media 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 Plot, the printer will beep 3 times every 20 seconds until
the
Pause
or
Reset
buttons are pressed.
