As above, “Brother PJ-522” should be changed to your printer model (“Brother PJ-523”, “Brother PJ-562” or “Brother PJ-563”).

Density Modes

You can set the print density to your preference from zero to 10. 0 is the lightest, 7 is the default (medium), and 10 is the darkest.

2-ply Mode

For special applications where 2-ply paper is needed, this setting makes prints that are darker (and print slower) than the density mode set to 10 as listed above.

Form Feed Modes

You can set how the printer ejects paper by using the following options.

•Fixed Page Mode - the paper always feeds at the end of a job to complete the vertical page size specified (i.e., letter, legal, A4, or user-defined size). Use this with cut sheet paper

•End of Page Mode - the printer feeds paper until an “out-of-paper” condition is found, or a maximum of 356 mm (14’’). Use this with perforated paper.

•No Feed Mode - there is no paper feed at the end of a job. This is typically used with non-perforated roll paper to save paper.

- No Feed Mode Extra Feed - this option is used in conjunction with the No Feed Mode to eject paper by setting the number of lines to be ejected (at 200-dpi for PJ- 522 or PJ-562 or 300-dpi for PJ-523 or PJ-563) after the end of a document.

NOTE: The “Extra Feed” mode only affects the last page of a document. The bottom margin as selected by the application has no effect. The top margin actually defines the total top and bottom margin between pages of a multi-page job.
