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.
