Setup menu

Printer Language

• PCL Emulation
• PS Emulation

Set the default printer language.

Notes:

• PS Emulation is the factory default printer language.
• Setting a printer language as the 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 if 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 are obtained, the stored jobs print.

Notes:

• Off is the factory default setting.
• This menu appears only when a 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.
• Whole Page allows the image to be moved into the non‑printable area defined by the Normal setting. Whole Page only affects pages printed using a PCL  5e interpreter. This 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 the flash memory or in a printer hard disk places them in permanent storage. Downloads remain in the flash memory or in the printer hard disk even when the printer is turned off.
• This menu appears only when a formatted, working flash drive or 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 job that requires more memory than is available.

Notes:

• Off is the factory default setting. This sets the printer to retain the downloads only until memory is needed. Downloads are deleted in order to process print jobs.
• On retains the downloads during language changes and printer resets. If the printer runs out of memory, then Memory Full [38] appears, and 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. Print jobs always appear in alphabetical order on the printer control panel.
