Operator Menu ⇒ Forms
Eject Delay
This parameter specifies the timeout interval in seconds (after which printing will resume) when Quick Access is Enabled while the printer is Online. The default is 30 seconds.
Impact
This parameter has three options: Auto, which is the default, Normal, and High.
Paper Weight
The Paper Weight parameter defines the “paper moves” — how the paper motion and printing work according to the thickness of the paper. If on Auto (the default), the selection will be either Light or Heavy depending on the Print Gap setting.
On the Auto setting Paper Weight uses the print gap to sense what is needed. However, in some cases you may want to set it manually. For example, very dense (yet thin) paper may need to be assigned a heavy paper weight to ensure good print quality.
Fast Slew
Slew refers to the high speed paper motion that occurs whenever the printer moves paper more than one line. If your forms are not too thin or fragile such that output stacking is a problem, you can decrease the printer’s slew speed by setting this parameter to Disabled. The default setting is Enabled..
Double Strike
When this parameter is set to Enabled, the printer strikes each dot twice. Use this to get better print quality when you are printing on an exceptionally thick form. Default is Disabled.
Enabling Double Strike decreases the printer throughput by approximately 50%.
RibbonMonitor
This parameter enables the Ribbon Monitor feature. The options are Enabled and Disabled (default).
This feature helps the printer operator determine when to replace ribbons for optimum and consistent print quality. It works by counting the estimated number of characters printed as jobs are printed. Since ribbons are rated for an estimated number of characters, when the character count threshold is reached for the current ribbon the operator is notified via the panel that the ribbon needs to be replaced.
Ribbon Monitor can be disabled at any time. However, the “characters printed count” is reset to zero whenever Ribbon Monitor is enabled, so enabling the feature should only be done with a fresh ribbon.
