Available font cache

The driver automatically adjusts the font cache size based on installed memory. Increase this amount for better performance of Type 32 bitmap fonts.

Installable options

Use this area to change the settings to match the printer’s hardware setup when you add options to the printer, including Tray 2, or more RAM memory.

PCL5E FEATURES

These are general descriptions of settings available in the PCL5e printer drivers. The interface of the printer driver depends on the operating system you use. Not all settings are available for all drivers, or they may appear on different tabs in the printer driver. All printer drivers have Online Help available at the click of a button, with more information about specific settings. Chapter 4, “Printer Drivers,” shows the PCL5e printer drivers and explains how to use them.

Resolution

Print resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch (dpi) in an image. The higher the number is, the finer the resolution. Resolution can be set to 600 (the default), 300, 150, and 75 dpi. Lower resolutions require less memory and processing time.

Dithering

Select a dithering pattern for converting images from one format to another, for example, for printing color documents in black and white. Dithering, along with the intensity and resolution settings, effect the overall appearance of graphics in printed documents.

Halftone Color Adjustment

In the Windows NT driver this is an advanced feature for controlling how color appears in a document and is converted to monochrome when printed.

Intensity

Adjust this setting to control the darkness of graphics in the printed document.

Reserved printer memory

Specify how much memory to reserve for special printer functions, such as macros, Operator Panel settings, etc. The reserved memory is not used for printing.

Printer memory tracking

Before printing a document, the printer driver calculates how much memory is required to print. If the document requires more memory than is available in the printer, the document is rejected. Use this setting to define how this calculation is made. A conservative calculation ensures that printer memory is never over-committed. A more aggressive calculation allows the printer to attempt printing a complex document, but memory may be over-exceeded and the print job may not be completed.

Printer Memory

This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the SuperScript 4600N printer and does not need to be adjusted.

Cartridges

This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the SuperScript 4600N printer and does not need to be adjusted.
