Description

Sets the default printer language

Notes:

PCL emulation uses a PCL interpreter for processing print jobs. PostScript emulation uses a PS interpreter for processing print jobs.

PCL 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.

Sets the logical and physical printable area

Notes:

This menu does not appear if Edge to Edge is enabled in the printer Setup menu.

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.

The Whole Page setting allows the image to be moved into the non-printable area defined by the Normal setting, but the printer will clip the image at the Normal setting boundary.

The Whole Page setting only affects pages printed using a PCL 5e interpreter. This setting has no effect on pages printed using the PCL XL or PostScript interpreter.

Sets the storage location for downloads

Notes:

RAM is the factory default setting.

Storing downloads in flash memory places them in permanent storage. Downloads remain in flash memory even when the printer is turned off.

Storing downloads in RAM is temporary.

This menu appears only if a flash option is installed.

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

Notes:

Off is the factory default setting. Off sets the printer to retain the downloads only until memory is needed. Downloads are deleted in order to process print jobs.

The On setting retains the downloads during language changes and printer resets. If the printer runs out of memory, 38 Memory Full appears, and downloads are not deleted.
