[PFU Air Assist Adjustment]
Overview
When Paper Feeder Unit PF-712 or Paper Feeder Unit PF-713 is mounted, change the air blow conditions, and blow air to the paper loaded in the paper tray.
This function separates the loaded paper sheets using air blown from the air outlet of Paper Feeder Unit PF-712 or Paper Feeder Unit PF-713, enabling smooth paper feeding.
Depending on the paper type, smooth feeding may be difficult, and paper jams may occur. In this case, manually change the air blow conditions. You can manually adjust the setting while checking the air volume in the paper tray by shining a light from the Air nozzle confirmation window of the paper tray.
NOTICE
- [PFU Air Assist Adjustment] is not displayed by default. To use this setting, please contact your service representative.
- Tray 1, Tray 4, and Tray 7 cannot be checked from the Air nozzle confirmation window. Manually adjust the other paper trays, and then set the value.
