RIP ONCE

RIP ONCE allows the print job to be processed one time at the printer. The RIP ONCE capability creates an image of the page then saves a compressed image of the page into memory. RIP ONCE is enabled when a minimum of 16 MB of RAM or a hard disk is installed in the printer. Pages are printed by decompressing page images without pausing to process the print job again. The print job will print exactly the same every time because the compressed image is not dependent on any other printer data.

Saving Printer Setup Information

Printer drivers allow you to save the printer settings you use most often as the default settings. For example, the driver might be set to print on letter size paper, portrait orientation, with automatic tray selection (from the first available tray).

Some PCL 5e/ PCL 6 printer drivers will allow you to save printer settings for multiple kinds of print jobs. For example, you might want to create a Quick Set for envelopes, or for printing the first page of a document on letterhead.

Look for the Quick Sets option in the Windows PCL 5e/PCL 6 printer driver. See the printer driver help for more information on these features.

Printer Driver Features

Look for Quick Sets, ZoomSmart (any page size to any page size), and Booklet Printing options in the Windows PCL 5e/PCL 6 printer driver, or see the printer driver help for more information.

Printing with a Watermark

A watermark is a notice, such as “Top Secret,” printed in the background of each page in a document. Check the driver for available options.
