Print Settings

Setup menu

 

Use

To

 

 

 

 

Printer Language

Set the default printer language.

 

PCL Emulation

Notes:

 

PS Emulation

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Job Waiting

Specify that print jobs be removed from the print queue when they

 

On

require unavailable printer options or custom settings. They are

 

Off

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 when a formatted, working printer

 

 

hard disk is installed. This requirement ensures that stored

 

 

jobs are not deleted if the printer loses power.

 

 

 

 

Print Area

Set the logical and physical printable area.

 

Normal

Notes:

 

Fit to Page

 

Normal is the factory default setting. When attempting to

 

Whole Page

 

print data in the nonprintable area defined by the Normal

 

 

 

 

setting, the printer clips the image at the boundary.

 

 

Fit to Page fits the page content into the selected paper size.

 

 

Whole Page allows the image to be moved into the

 

 

nonprintable 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.
