PS Menu
Use the PS Menu to define the way the printer handles PostScript jobs. The following
table describes the settings you can change from the PS Menu. An asterisk (*) next to
a value in the table indicates the factory default. The PS Menu appears only if you
have the PostScript SIMM installed.
Notes:
1. To select a new value, press the Continue/Enter key when the value is displayed
in the message display area. An asterisk (*) appears next to the value in the
message display area, indicating that it is now active.
2. Values set in PostScript print jobs (either by the print application or the printer
driver) override PS Menu values you set at the printer.
3. If you are unfamiliar with using the operator panel to work with menus, please read
“Using the Operator Panel Keys” on page 10 and “Navigating Menus” on page 12
before continuing.
PS MENU ITEM VALUE Description
PAGEPROT AUTO*
ON Sets page protection:
Ÿ
AUTO—the printer uses the minimum amount of memory
necessary to print a page.
Ÿ
ON—the printer reserves enough memory to process an
entire page without compression before it prints the page.
This can help in the rare case where the printer compression
scheme causes a loss of quality in complex graphics. This
setting is available only when the printer has enough
memory. See “Memory Requirements” on page 3 for more
information.
COPIES nnn Specifies how many copies of each job to print. nnn can be from
1 to 999. 1 is the default.
PRINT ERRS OFF*
ON Specifies how the printer handles PostScript errors:
Ÿ OFF—the printer cancels the job, but does not print an error
page.
Ÿ ON—the printer prints an error page and cancels the job.
