For those instances when you need to print PCL 5e Emulation (hereafter referred to as PCL) jobs all the way to the edge of the page, turn on the Edge to Edge option in the PCL Emulat Menu. Edge to edge printing is always available for PostScript jobs and requires no setting. Just format your document to the edge of the page.

See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel for instructions on changing Control Panel settings.

The LN17 printer allows you to set automatic tray switching for both PCL and PostScript (when PostScript is installed) jobs. When tray switching is on, and the paper tray runs out of paper, the printer automatically switches to another paper tray (if another tray is loaded with the same size paper). That means you don’t have to load paper as often. You can also install one or two optional 500-sheet Paper Deck and Cassettes (lower trays) to extend your printing capacity.

For more information on tray switching, see the section “Automatic Tray Switching” (page 2-13) in Chapter 2: Paper Handling.

When you have installed the PostScript option, the printer can process both PCL and PostScript jobs. When the printer’s Language Sensing option is on, the LN17 printer samples the incoming data stream to determine which language the print job requires. The LN17 printer then switches to the proper language for that job.

The LN17 printer can have up to three active ports when you install two optional network interface cards. Turn the Language Sensing option on for all the ports, and the printer automatically samples each print job and switches to the appropriate processing language.

For more information about language sensing and switching, see Appendix D: Control Panel Options.
