Legal timing
Legal timing refers to the time between the first page picked and the second page
picked. Legal timing is the time it takes for a legal page to go through the engine’s
paper path.
The LaserJet 1100 may run at legal timing if manual feed is selected. If the first
manual feed page is followed by a second manual feed page, the first manual feed
page will run at legal timing. If a manual feed page is followed by a non-manual feed
page, the manual feed page will run at engine speed.
Paper size change
The paper tray is merely a source for paper; it cannot detect the size of the paper.
Therefore, the user must inform the printer what size paper is being used. This is
normally done automatically by the user’s software application. However, this can be
done on a job-by-job basis by sending the PCL Page Size escape sequence or setting
the PJL PAPER variable. The PCL escape sequence for paper size takes precedence
over the PJL PAPER setting.
The user may load a new size of paper and not modify the PJL or PCL variable.
Therefore, the paper size may be too large or too small for the formatted page. The
image that has been formatted will be placed on the sheet of paper and fed through
the printer.
Scanner paper handling
The scanner can handle a slightly wider range of paper sizes than the print engine. It
will have a single automatic document feeder (ADF) that supplies a single straight
paper path. The ADF has no paper sensor, so the scanner will attempt a paper pickup
to determine if the bin is empty or not. Therefore, when a job is started, it attempts to
pick a page to make sure a page is available in the ADF. Once a job is started the
scanner continues to pick pages until the ADF is empty. The ADF has no ability to tell
how wide the source page is, so page scan width has to be set from the PC.
