PMD (Paper Motion Detection) Fault
Enable. If a paper jam occurs, an audible alarm beeps, CLEAR PAPER
JAM appears on the message display, and the printer stops printing.
Disable. You should disable PMD only if special paper requires it.
CAUTION
Once PMD is disabled, paper motion is not monitored. If a paper jam
occurs, the printer ignores the condition and continues to print,
possibly causing severe damage to the printer.
Slow Paper Slew
This parameter affects the speed at which paper advances into the stacking
area of the printer. The speed will be slowed by enabling this feature.
Disable. The default. The printer will slew and stack paper at maximum
speed.
Enable. Causes the paper to stack at a slower rate. This ensures that
certain forms will stack more neatly.
Power Saver Time
This parameter allows the printer to lower electricity consumption while it
stays idle. The time interval you specify for this parameter sets the number of
minutes of idle time before the printer goes into Power Saver mode. The
default setting is 15 minutes, but you can specify a range between 5 seconds
and 60 minutes.
Pressing any key will remove the power saver message from the control
panel. Sending a print job to the printer will turn off power saver mode.
