Paper Feed

Detailed
Descriptions
ms at 100%, 70%, 30% and 10% paper remaining.
This lowers the pressure of the stack against the roller to prevent double-feeding.
The run time of the tray lift motor can be adjusted with SP codes for each paper size at
each step of paper remaining. This can be done for every feed tray except the bypass tray.
Tray Name Tray Location SP Code
1st Tray Upper Tray (Main Machine) 1908 F1 Plate Adj
2nd Tray Lower Tray (Main Machine) 1909 F2 Plate Adj
3rd Tray LCT or Upper Tray of Paper Feed Unit 1910 F3 Plate Adj
4th Tray Lower Tray of Paper Feed Unit 1911 F4 Plate Adj
Each SP code has a total of 56 settings to adjust for:
Paper size (A3, A4, A5, etc.)
Four settings for the amount of paper remaining with each paper size (100%, 70%,
30%, 10%)
For more information about these SP codes, see Service Tables.
If a particular paper size is consistently double-feeding, this means there is too much
pressure between the feed roller and paper stack. Increasing the reverse run time of
the tray lift motor (-300 to -500, for example) should reduce the pressure and solve the
problem.
If a particular paper size is consistently failing to feed, this means there is not enough
pressure between the feed roller and paper stack. Increasing the forward run time of
the tray lift motor (200 to 400, for example) should increase the pressure and solve the
problem.
Another set of SP codes allow you to select more precise automatic detection of size by the
tray paper size sensors. An alternate size can be selected for each paper tray. (See Paper
Size Detection.)
