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.

Determine if print jobs are removed from the print queue when they require unavailable printer options or custom settings. These print jobs 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 if a non-read‑only printer hard disk is installed. This requirement ensures that stored jobs are not deleted if the printer loses power.

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, 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.
