Setup menu

Printer Language

• PCL Emulation
• PS Emulation

Set the default printer language.

Notes:

• PCL Emulation is the factory default setting.
• PostScript emulation uses a PostScript interpreter for processing print jobs.
• PCL Emulation uses a PCL interpreter for processing print jobs.
• Setting a printer language default does not prevent a software program from sending print jobs that use another printer language.

Print Area

• Normal
• Whole Page

Set the logical and physical printable area.

Notes:

• Normal is the factory default setting. When attempting to print data on the non‑printable area defined by the Normal setting, the printer clips the image at the boundary.
• Whole Page allows the image to be moved into the non‑printable area defined by the Normal setting. This setting affects only pages printed using a PCL  5 interpreter and has no effect on pages printed using the PCL  XL or PostScript interpreter.

Download Target

• RAM
• Flash

Set the storage location for downloads.

Notes:

• RAM is the factory default setting. Storing downloads in the RAM is temporary.
• Storing downloads in a flash memory places them in permanent storage. Downloads remain in the flash memory even when the printer is turned off.
• This menu item appears only when an optional flash memory is installed.

Resource Save

• On
• Off

Specify how the printer handles temporary downloads, such as fonts and macros stored in the RAM, when the printer receives a print job that requires more than the available memory.

Notes:

• Off is the factory default setting. Off sets the printer to retain downloads only until memory is needed. Downloads are deleted in order to process print jobs.
• On sets the printer to retain downloads during language changes and printer resets. If the printer runs out of memory, then Memory Full [38] appears on the printer display, but downloads are not deleted.
