This user manual addendum should be used in conjunction with the Prodot 300 user manual also supplied with this printer to provide a full list of the features and functions within this printer. Automatic Media Thickness Selection The integral sensors within the printer's printhead mechanism detect the thickness of the media being used and adjust the printhead height to the correct level for printing. This makes it ideal for multi-thickness media or for items such as passbooks where the printer must automatically select the thickness depending on the page of the book being used. Automatic Media Straightening If media is miss-inserted in to the front of the printer at an incorrect angle, the Prodot 350 will automatically correct the angle of the media to ensure it is straight within the printer. This feature is also known as automatic skew correction. Left Edge Detection The printer can automatically detect the left edge of the media if it is inserted incorrectly. This is also a great feature if the printer is being used in automatic media straightening mode as this feature can naturally move the media left or right whilst straightening. Automatic Media Selection The printer can automatically switch between tractor media and cut sheet media using software control commands making it ideal for banking or retail situations. The function also exists to park the paper on the tractors when printing is finished. -7- Chapter 2 Installation Unpacking Check each of the items against the following packing list.
