Technical Brief-Multimedia projectors Page 4 L LL Functionality-SmartPark™ settings EPSON SmartPark settings, which help you save paper and trouble, and precisely line up documents, include automatic tear-off, paper parking, and microfeed adjustments. Automatic tear-off Can be automatic or activated by a button on the control panel. After a document is printed, the printer will automatically advance the paper to the tear-off position. When the paper is torn off, or when another document is printed, paper is automatically retracted to the top-of-form position. Paper parking Supports loading of paper from most paper paths, by pressing a button on the control panel. Paper from one path is backed out and "parked," while paper from the other path is loaded into printing position Microfeed adjustments Can set a top-of-form setting within 1/180 of an inch, to precisely line-up printing on pre-printed forms.
