16.2 Response to Form Feed (FF)
Note
If the paper source is modified via the command DECASFC or the
Operator Panel, the current cut sheet is ejected and the fanfold paper
is parked automatically.
16.3 Automatic Sheet Feeder Control
To control its optional Automatic Sheet Feeder (ASF), the LA600 MultiPrinter
uses the Automatic Sheet Feeder Control (DECASFC) command. If the sheet
feeder is not installed, the LA600 performs a conditional sheet feed on receipt
of the DECASFC. Table 16–1 provides the DECASFC parameters.
Table 16–1 Ps Parameters for DECASFC
Ps Action
0 No selection change; conditional sheet feed is performed
1–3 Select tray 1–3; conditional sheet feed is performed
4 Tractor feed
99 Manual feed
If the active selection was tractor feed (Ps = 4) prior to a selecting a cut sheet
tray input (Ps = 1–3 or 99), the LA600 attempts to perform a parking function
automatically, under the following conditions:
1. The latest printed fanfold form is fed forward to tear-off position.
2. The printer goes offline, waiting for the Start/Stop key to be pressed. (At
this stage, the user must remove the last form by tearing it off, and then
press Start/Stop.)
3. The fanfold paper is moved back to the park position.
DECASFC resets the printhead gap control setting to the Automatic Gap
Control (AGC) mode.
