Set Platen at BOF
Some special forms have perforation areas that are thicker than the rest of the
form. Enable this parameter when you are using this type of form. This parameter,
when open is selected, allows the platen to open and close when perforations
thicker than the rest of a form move across the platen.
To retain print quality with this type of form, set the position of the first and last
print lines to avoid printing where paper thickness occurs (before and after the
perforation). See Forms Length on page 195.
v
Disable (the default)
v Open
Note:
When enabling this parameter, you must set the forms length to match the
physical distance between perforations.
Shuttle Timeout
The SHUTTLE TIMEOUT parameter determines the amount of time the shuttle
will continue running after printing stops. This allows the shuttle to continue
moving during the time between print jobs when the print jobs arrive at frequent
intervals. Time is saved if the shuttle is still moving when a print job arrives at the
printer, since the printer does not have to wait for the shuttle to reach its operating
speed.
v 5 Seconds
(the default)
v
1 - 60 Seconds
Energy Saver Timer
This parameter helps to reduce power consumption when the printer is not in use
in order to reduce air pollution caused by power generation. Use of this feature
can cut energy use by more than 50 percent.
ENERGY SAVER TIMER determines the amount of time that expires before the
printer reduces power after printing stops. The energy saver mode can select an
energy saver activation time from instant to 60 minutes. The selections are:
v
15 Minutes (the default)
v 1 - 60 Minutes
v
240 Mins
v
Instant
v
5 - 30 Seconds
Note: If the printer enters energy saver mode while NOT READY, the printer will
not print any jobs until made READY by pressing the Start key.
