Media Sense Test

This printers have media sense capability. If “Automatic” is selected in “Paper Options Type is” the printer will detect the first sheet of picked media. The printer will sense one of three types of media:

• PLNx = Plain Paper
• PHTx = Photo Media
• TRNx = Transparency

The fourth character, identified by an “x” above, does not matter in regards to identifying the media sense.

To run the Test

1. Enter the Underware Mode
2. Press the scroll button ([<] or [>]) to display [reports menu] on the display.Press [Enter].
3. Press the scroll button ([<] or [>]) to display [continuous MS test] on the display.Press [Enter].
4. The printer picks a sheet, senses the media type, prints the media sense results and ejects the sheet to the Out tray.It will print with any print cartridge configuration. Press the Cancel button to end the test.
   Note! : Performing the test on the printer will result in a sense value of “NADA”, indicating media sense is disabled.

Media Sense Notes

• The printer senses media approximately 6 1/2 inches from the left edge of the media.
• The printer does not sense media in fast draft mode and on full bleed print jobs. Instead it assumes plain paper is loaded in fast draft print mode and photo media is loaded in full bleed print jobs.
• PPS adjustment can impact the accuracy of media sense.
