In general there are no restrictions concerning air circulation. However, it is
to be observed that the air flow does not move the fanfold paper heavily at
the paper entry and paper exit of the printer and such may lead to paper
jams.
In conjunction with the paper stacking system care has to be taken that the
air flow does not disturb a proper operation of the stacker.

$

Impact of Light and Sunshine

Since the printer is equipped with a light-sensitive photoconductor drum and
optical sensors it shall in generally not be installed at a location which is
exposed to sunlight. If not otherwise possible window shades have to
provide for the necessary protection.

The printer must never be installed such that its right side (paper

Note:

exit) points to a window.

If the top cover is opened to clear a paper jam or to perform maintenance
actions sunbeams would directly fall onto the photoconductor drum and
would permanently destroy its surface after an impact period of about 1
minute.

Acoustical Noise

The upper limits of the acoustical noise are shown below.

Power Dissipation

If an interruption of a print operation occurs the printer can enter the Power
Save mode when for a certain period of time whose duration is selected at
the operator panel the printer does not perform any further operation. In this
mode most of the printer´s subsystems are disconnected from power. The
operating mode is resumed when the printer receives further data from the
host system.

Consumables Lifetime

Mantenimiento Periféricos Informáticos SL C/Canteras, 15 28860 Paracuellos de Jarama Tel: [phone] WEB: https://mpi.com.es

1.5

All Consumables can be replaced by the customer without any tool or adjustment.

Consumables must be replaced in regular intervals. A usage longer than the expected

life time may reduce print quality and can damage other parts of the printer, in

particular a worn out Developer unit can damage the PC drum´s surface. The

replacement intervals are typical values averaged over a number of Consumables.

Therefore the lifetime of an individual Consumable unit might be shorter or longer.

The lifetime of a Consumable Unit depends on many influences; for example it can

be shortened due to:

- Media properties like vertical perforations, high paper roughness, paper thickness

and labels

- Application specific influences like high toner coverage or printing of vertical lines

- Operating mode like many start / stop cycles

The life time of the PC drum and Developer unit are determined by the number of

rotations and secondly by the number of printed pages. The number of rotations

does not directly correspond to the number of printed pages since PC drum and

Developer are rotating before and after a print job and also during start / stop .

The replacement intervals are based upon the usage of standard (laser type)

paper and continuous print operation.

The typical Consumables lifetime is calculated for a reference page of 11 x 15 inch (L

x W), 70 g/m² and one perforation per page.

• Toner Kit: typ. 130.000 page with 5% toner coverage

• Developer Unit: typ. 230.000 pages

1.8 Handling the Tractor Cassettes The printer has two tractor cassettes for fanfold paper, the LOWER

TRACTOR cassette and the UPPER TRACTOR cassette. The tractor cassettes

are in the Starter Kit Package 1 and 2

If the printer is used without the intelligent Paper Stacker, align the printer with
the front edge of the table. Ensure that the cables at the paper exit do not block
the paper path.
Simply slide the tractor cassettes forward into the respective guides (see
illustration). Remove the tractor cassettes by lifting and pulling them toward you.
Take out the UPPER TRACTOR before inserting paper into the LOWER
TRACTOR. If more than two different fanfold papers are to be processed, it is
useful to work with additional tractor cassettes. Such an additional tractor
cassette can be preloaded with paper and quickly mounted into the printer as
required.

PAPER

A choice out of three different paper sizes can be made:

A4

LETTER

CUSTOM

.

If A4 or

LETTER

is selected the printer automatically sets all parameters

which define the allocation of the print image on a page. Those parameter

values are in accordance to the PCL5 definition.

In case of

A4

the contents of an A4 page is printed asymmetrically onto a

12 inch form which leads to a larger bottom margin than top margin.

In case of

LETTER

the page contents are printed onto an 11 inch form.

Note:

If the paper size is changed from one format into another the printer

selects the default values of the format describing parameters

(PAPER LENGTH, IMAGE WIDTH etc.) which belong to the choosen

paper size.

Paper size (PAPER) can be selected at the control panel or by

means of PCL- or PJL-commands from the host system (see also

PAPER SELECTION

).

There are restictions in the paper width if the fomat

TWO-UP MODE

The TWO-UP MODE positions two logical pages (e.g. two different invoices)

side by side onto one physical page. The logical pages are separated by an

imaginary centre line; (see also parameter TWO-UP-EXT. SHIFT)

The TWO-UP MODE supports the paper formats

A4, LETTER

.

The dimensions for

A4

SOURCE

The printer offers two choices for fanfold paper input:

-

LOWER

(default)

-

UPPER

Note:

Please refer to chapter

7 Technical Data

for media specifications.

DESTINATION

It is possible to choose between

BOTTOM

and

BOTTOM CUT

(to leave the

printer at the paper exit on the right side).

If

BOTTOM

(default) is selected fanfold paper leaves the printer at the paper

exit (right side). The cutter is not activated by default. If print jobs shall be

separated the cutter must be activated via ESC sequences from the host

system.

BOTTOM CUT

means that page by page will be cut.

The position where the paper is cut is determined by the parameter Paper

Length.

Note:

If, for some reason, it is not desired to cut exactly on the perforation it

is very important to

cut below the perforation

.

If the paper is cut above the perforation the remaining paper can

easily bend and cause a paper jam. Do not cut through a label as the

blade would get dirty by the glue. See also

ORIENTATION

The orientation of the print image may either be

PORTRAIT

or

LANDSCAPE

. The physical orientation of the print image is also influenced

by the setting of

LANDSCAPE MODE

and

ORIENTATION MODE

.

Note:

If the orientation is changed from one direction into the other the

page describing parameters (MARGINS, IMAGE WIDTH,

VER SHIFT, HOR SHIFT etc.) are set to the corresponding default

values. The physical page length will not be changed.

If printing is performed in

LANDSCAPE

and the selected values for

image width and line spacing don't lead to an integer multiple of lines

within this image area the result will be a displacement in the print

image between two contiguous pages. An evenly arranged print

image can only be achieved by either adapting the image width to the

line spacing or by selection of

The conditions inside the printer for feeding of the first pages of a fanfold

paper starting from paper load or paper parking position for paper

transportation is different during continuous printing. If not compensated, it

may lead to an extension of the total line registration tolerance.

The function shall be used to compensate this effect and precisely position

the print out even at the very beginning of a print job.

There are five patterns available.

Effects of the patterns:

A correction by means of pattern 2 to 6 shifts the print image to the bottom

(in direction of the middle of the paper).

Pattern 1:

No correction

Pattern 2:

Displacement on the first 2 pages by 0,5 mm

Pattern 3:

Displacement on the first 2 pages by 1,0 mm

Pattern 4:

Displacement on the first 2 pages by 1,5 mm

Pattern 5:

Displacement on the first 5 pages up to 0,5 mm

Pattern 6:

Displacement on the first 5 pages up to 1,0 mm

The compensation values apply to a paper length of 11 inch. For page

length different to 11 inch the printer automatically adapts the values

accordingly.

Typically, pattern 3 has the best correction result for standard paper of a

weight of 70 - 90 g/m² and a paper width of 9 up to 17 inch. If ever required

pattern 5 or 6 should be applied for thick paper of 120 g/ m² and above.

RESET DEVELOPER INFO

RESET OPC INFO

RESET FUSER INFO

In addition to the mechanical page counter the firmware has incorporated an

individual software page counter which count the usage grade for each

consumable. This information is calculated in percentage of the total lifecycle

of the device and is displayed in the info menu and on the configuration test

page. When the end of the lifetime is reached a value of 100% is indicated.

After replacing the worn out consumable the user must reset the associated

counter. The associated counter can be reset by

RESET DEVELOPER

INFO

,

RESET OPC INFO

, or

RESET FUSER INFO

.

Important Note 1:

The lifetime of a consumable is determined by the rotation

and the movement of the mechanical parts. A stop of the

print operation leads to further movement of the paper due to

retraction into the park position.

Important Note 2:

After replacing the Developer Unit, the PC Cartridge, or the

Fuser Unit the above mentioned Reset functions have to be

called up.
