General Menu
The General menu allows you to communicate with the printer to
perform margin and line length calibrations, get printer settings and
status, control printer spooling, download PostScript files to the
printer, and change some printer default settings (fig. 3.7).
Fig. 3.7 General Menu Options
Printer Status
This option provides current printer status information on screen. For
example, the status may indicate that the printer is idle (ready to
receive a job). If the printer is receiving data, the message lists the
interface source; if the printer is processing a job, the message lists
the user name, document name, and interface source.
Printer Information
This option allows you to send current printer settings to the screen
or the printer. The list includes printer configuration, storage devices
on the printer, and network configuration information.
Spooling
This option allows you to enable and control printer hard drive
spooling. Spooling frees up the communication channel between
your Macintosh and printer which permits your computer to return to
other processing quickly. Spooling can be enabled for each interface
independently using this menu or the printer’s front panel Interface
menus. See “Spooler” later in this chapter.
