Feed speed control The type of media in the paper path dictates the speed at which it is fed. The DC controller can change the feed speed according to type of media. Table 5-7 Paper size detection switch settings on page 201 shows the relationship between media type and feed speed.

If plain paper, other than OHT is detected, the DC controller determines a media misprint. The DC controller lets the printing operation continue under the OHT mode only when it detects the OHT. The same applies to the following sheets in a continuous printing. When the DC controller outputs the wrong media, it notifies the formatter, cuts off the secondary transfer bias, delivers the media, and then stops the printer engine. ● Automatic mode. When automatic mode is selected, the printer starts the printing operation in the normal mode. If plain paper, thin paper, thick paper, gloss paper, gloss film, or OHT is detected, the DC controller switches the print mode to the appropriate mode and executes the printing operation. In continuous printing, the print mode will not change from the one selected for the first sheet. However, if the DC controller detects media different from the first page, it outputs a media misprint. ● All other print modes. If media other than OHT is detected, the DC controller continues the printing operation with the selected print mode. It outputs a media misprint only when it detects OHT. The same applies to the following sheets in the continuous printing. ENWW Pickup/feed system 201
