Description

Sets the printer to automatically switch to PS emulation when a print job received through a USB port requires it, regardless of the default printer language

Notes:

•On is the factory default setting.

•When the Off setting is used, the printer does not examine incoming data.

•When the Off setting is used, the printer uses PCL emulation if the PCL SmartSwitch setting is On. It uses the default printer language specified in the Setup menu if the PCL SmartSwitch setting is Off.

Sets the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol

Notes:

•Auto is the factory default setting.

•Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.

Sets the size of the USB input buffer

Notes:

•Auto is the factory default setting.

•The Disabled setting turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the disk are printed before normal processing is resumed.

•The USB buffer size value can be changed in 1-K increments.

•The maximum size allowed depends on the amount of memory in the printer, the size of the other link buffers, and whether the Resource Save setting is On or Off.

•To increase the maximum size range for the USB Buffer, disable or reduce the size of the parallel, serial, and network buffers.

•Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.

Sets the printer to process Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs

Notes:

•Auto is the factory default setting.

•The Off setting filters print jobs using the standard protocol.

•The On setting processes raw binary PostScript print jobs.

5230N/DN, 5350dn specifications

The Dell 5350, 5350dn, 5230n, 5230dn, and 5230 printers represent a robust line of monochrome laser printers designed to meet the demands of high-volume printing environments. These models are tailored for business users who require reliable performance and high-quality output without sacrificing speed or efficiency.

The Dell 5350 is known for its impressive print speed, capable of delivering up to 65 pages per minute (ppm). This makes it an excellent choice for organizations that need to produce large volumes of documents quickly. The 5350dn variant includes duplex printing capabilities, allowing for automatic double-sided printing, which not only saves paper but also streamlines workflow. Both models support a high monthly duty cycle, which caters to heavy printing needs while maintaining consistent performance.

Turning to the Dell 5230n and 5230dn, these printers also boast maximum print speeds of up to 60 ppm. Similar to the 5350dn, the 5230dn model provides automatic duplexing, enhancing operational efficiency. The 5230 series is designed with a focus on accessibility, featuring a user-friendly interface that simplifies navigation and reduces the learning curve for new users.

One of the standout features across these models is their robust paper handling capabilities. With multiple input trays and the option for additional paper trays, users can easily manage different media types and sizes, accommodating everything from standard letter-sized paper to heavier cardstock. This versatility makes the printers ideal for various printing tasks, including reports, presentations, and marketing materials.

All models in this series utilize advanced toner technology, which delivers sharp text and crisp images. The high yield toner cartridges available for these printers ensure that users can print longer without frequent replacements, which reduces overall printing costs.

In terms of connectivity, these Dell printers support USB, Ethernet, and optional wireless capabilities, ensuring seamless integration into different network environments. Security features, such as secure print options, help protect sensitive information, making these printers suitable for environments with strict confidentiality requirements.

In summary, the Dell 5350, 5350dn, 5230n, 5230dn, and 5230 printers offer a powerful combination of speed, efficiency, and user-friendly features tailored for high-volume printing. Their advanced technologies and flexible configurations ensure that businesses can achieve reliable performance while maintaining cost-effectiveness in their printing operations.
