3.9.17 PAPER FEED AND SEPARATION PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT
Paper feed pressure adjustment
Purpose: To ensure smooth paper feed from the paper table.
• The user has a choice of three different settings for the paper feed pressure
(Standard, Frequent, Very Frequent). The user sets this between jobs depending
on how often they think no-feed errors are occurring.
• The setting is returned to the default by pressing the Clear Modes key or turning
the main switch off and back on. The default setting is “Standard”.
• The pressure applied for each setting can be adjusted by SP mode.
1. Select SP mode “6-009-1”, “6-009-2” and “6-009-3”.
NOTE: SP6-009-10, 11, 12 are for special paper types (basically for
envelopes), SP6-009-1, 2, 3 are for standard paper types, and SP6-
009-4, 5, 6 are for thick paper. If the user has programmed as User 1
or User 2, you can change the paper feed pressures with SP6-009-13,
14, 15 and SP6-009-16, 17, 18.
2. Change the settings as necessary.
• Defaults for SP6-009-1 (Standard): 3, SP6-009-2 (Frequent): 5, SP6-009-3
(Very Frequent): 6
• The available pressure levels are from 0 to 6. (0 is the weakest, 6 is the
strongest.)
Paper separation pressure adjustment
Purpose: To ensure paper separation.
• The user has a choice of three different settings for the separation pressure
(Standard, Frequent, Very Frequent). The user sets this between jobs depending
on how often they think multi-feed errors are occurring.
• The setting is returned to the default by pressing the Clear Modes key or turning
the main switch off and back on. The default setting is “Standard”.
• The pressure applied for each setting can be adjusted by SP mode.
1. Select SP mode “6-010-1”, “6-010-2” and “6-010-3”.
NOTE: SP6-010-10, 11, 12 are for special paper types, SP6-010-1, 2, 3 are for
standard paper types, and SP6-010-4, 5, 6 are for thick paper. If the
user has programmed as User 1 or User 2, you can change the paper
feed pressures with SP6-010-13, 14, 15 and SP6-10-16, 17, 18.
2. Change the settings as necessary.
• Defaults for SP6-010-1 (Standard): 4, SP6-010-2 (Frequent): 5, SP6-010-3
(Very Frequent): 6
• The available pressure levels are from 0 to 6. (0 is the weakest, 6 is the
strongest.)
