Explanation

 

 

 

 

RESOLUTION

300

At 600-dpi (dots per inch), the printer might need as much as four times

 

 

600*

more memory to format a page than it needs at 300-dpi. For most

 

 

 

purposes, 600-dpi is recommended. It is recommended that you use

 

 

 

300-dpi for some bitmapped fonts and graphics designed to be printed at

 

 

 

300-dpi or for compatibility with the HP LaserJet 3 family of printers.

 

 

 

 

PERSONALTY

AUTO*

The printer can be switched from its standard personality (language), PCL,

 

 

PCL

to other personalities, such as PostScript. When PERSONALTY is set to

 

 

POSTSCRIPT

AUTO, the printer analyzes each print job it receives and switches

 

 

(optional)

personalities automatically.

 

 

 

 

PAGEPROTCT

AUTO*

This menu item will not be available unless a 21 PAGE TOO COMPLEX,

 

 

ON

PRESS GO KEY error occurs (see “Understanding Printer Messages” in

 

 

 

Chapter 7). Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) attempts to

 

 

 

guarantee that all pages will print. If the page does not print, turn

 

 

 

PAGEPROTCT to ON. This may increase chances of a 20 INSUFFICIENT

 

 

 

MEMORY, PRESS GO KEY message. If this occurs, you need to add memory.

 

 

 

 

I/O TIMEOUT

15*

I/O timeout refers to the time, measured in seconds, that the printer waits

 

 

(5 to 300)

before ending a print job. This setting allows you to adjust timeout for best

 

 

 

performance. If data from other ports appear in the middle of your print

 

 

 

job, increase the timeout value. Press [- Value +] once to change setting

 

 

 

by increments of 1 or hold down to scroll by increments of 10.

 

 

 

 

*Indicates factory default.
