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.

Job Waiting

• On
• Off

Specify that print jobs be removed from the print queue when they require unavailable printer options or custom settings. They are stored in a separate print queue, so other jobs print normally. When the missing information or options, or both are obtained, the stored jobs print.

Notes:

• Off is the factory default setting.
• This menu appears only when a formatted, working printer hard disk is installed. This requirement ensures that stored jobs are not deleted if the printer loses power.

Print Area

• Normal
• Fit to Page
• Whole Page

Set the logical and physical printable area.

Notes:

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

Download Target

• RAM
• Flash
• Disk

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 or in a printer hard disk places them in permanent storage. Downloads remain in the flash memory or printer hard disk even when the printer is turned off.
• This menu item appears only if an optional flash memory or a formatted, working printer hard disk 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. This 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.

Print All Order

• Alphabetical
• Oldest First
• Newest First

Specify the order in which held and confidential jobs are printed when Print All is selected.

Note:  Alphabetical is the factory default setting.
