3–54 Operator ManualEject DelayThis parameter specifies the timeout interval in seconds (after which printing willresume) when Quick Access is Enabled while the printer is Online. The default is30 seconds.ImpactThis parameter has three options: Auto, which is the default, Normal, and High.Paper WeightThe Paper Weight parameter defines the “paper moves” — how the paper motionand printing work according to the thickness of the paper. If on Auto (the de-fault), the selection will be either Light or Heavy depending on the Print Gapsetting.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 goodprint quality.Fast SlewSlew refers to the high speed paper motion that occurs whenever the printermoves paper more than one line. If your forms are not too thin or fragile suchthat output stacking is a problem, you can decrease the printer’s slew speed bysetting this parameter to Disabled. The default setting is Enabled..Double StrikeWhen this parameter is set to Enabled, the printer strikes each dot twice. Use thisto 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%.RibbonMonitorThis parameter enables the Ribbon Monitor feature. The options are Enabledand Disabled (default).This feature helps the printer operator determine when to replace ribbons foroptimum and consistent print quality. It works by counting the estimated numberof characters printed as jobs are printed. Since ribbons are rated for an estimatednumber of characters, when the character count threshold is reached for thecurrent ribbon the operator is notified via the panel that the ribbon needs to bereplaced.Ribbon Monitor can be disabled at any time. However, the “characters printed count” is reset to zerowhenever Ribbon Monitor is enabled, so enabling the feature should only be done with a fresh ribbon.If the Ribbon Monitor Fault occurs, and is cleared without the ribbon life thresh-old being increased or the ribbon count reset to zero, the “Replace Ribbon”message will reappear approximately every one million characters until one ofthese operations is performed. This message will also appear upon powerup ifthe ribbon count is above the threshold at that time.Operator Menu⇒ Forms
