1.3Special Features of the

Printer

The special features of the printer are as follows:

¥It supports PCL5e and PCL6 emulations but only PCL6 drivers are provided.

¥Printing can be specified without having to take into consideration the printer language as there is an automatic printer language detection feature.

¥High quality printing can be achieved with its 600 dpi laser-style resolution.

Also, it comes with an image-enhancement feature which can increase resolution and produce smooth printing without any notches (equivalent to 2,400 dpi).

¥Besides the standard parallel interface, it can be used in a network (multi-protocol) environment through the standard network interface for Ethernet. Or an optional Token Ring interface can be installed.*1

• Ethernet and Token Ring are mutually exclusive i.e. they cannot be used at the same time. For details on Ethernet, refer to "2.1.2 Ethernet". For details on Token Ring, refer to the manual of the Token Ring kit, Token Ring Board Installation Guide.

•dpi is the abbreviation of Dot Per Inch and is the unit that indicates the number of dots that can be printed within a one-inch area. It is used as a unit indicating resolution.

•Protocol is the essential communication regulation for carrying out data transmission.

*1. This may not be available. Please see your Panasonic Authorized representative for details.
