to SHORT, the job prints as if the paper is to be bound along the short edge of
the paper. (On the top for portrait documents, on the left for landscape
documents.)
3. If you install the duplex unit, you can also use your print driver to request job
offsetting. Note, however, that custom forms cannot be offset unless the job is
sent from an IPDS application (not PostScript or PCL) and the form width is less
than 297 mm (11.69 in).
Changing the Default PCL Page Size
Situation: You want to change the default page size for PCL jobs. For example,
you need to print a configuration page, and the PCL page size default is currently
set to something smaller than A4 or letter.
Action:
1. Press the Online key until you see OFFLINE in the display.
2. Press the Menu key until you see PCL MENU in the display.
3. Press the Item key until you see PAGESIZE=size* in the display.
4. Press the Value key until you see the new value you want. If you are trying to
print a configuration page, this value must be LETTER, A4, or something larger.
5. Press the Enter key to select the new setting. An asterisk appears next to the
value, showing that it is active.
6. To restore the printer to READY status, press the Online key.
Note: Values set in print jobs (either by the print application or by the printer driver)
override values you set at the printer. The printer configuration page,
however, does use the value specified in the PCL Menu.
Defining Custom Form Sizes for IPDS
Situation: You want to define a custom form size for IPDS jobs.
Note: You can define up to five custom forms. The following procedure shows how
to define the first one (FORM1).
Action:
1. Press the Online key until you see OFFLINE in the display.
2. Press the Menu key until you see CUSTOM FORMS MENU in the display.
3. Select the unit of measure.
a. Press the Item key until you see FORM1UNITS=MM* or FORM1UNITS=IN*
in the display.
b. Press the Value key until you see the new value you want (MM or IN).
c. Press the Enter key to select the new setting. An asterisk appears next to
the value, showing that it is active.
4. Define the form length.
a. Press the Item key until you see FORM1 LEN= nn* in the display.
b. Press the Value key until you see the new value you want.
c. Press the Enter key to select the new setting. An asterisk appears next to
the value, showing that it is active.
