4 Settings on the Control Panel
Admin Menu
The [Admin Menu] is used for the network/port settings, system settings (for alarm, power
saver mode, and machine clock, etc.), printer settings, allocate memory settings,
initialization of printer setting values and hard disks, and form data deletion settings.
Network/Port
The [Network/Port] menu is used to set the type of the printer interface connected to a
computer and the necessary conditions for its communications.
Parallel
Select this to use a parallel port.
„
Port Status
Specifies whether to enable or disable the parallel port when the printer turns on. The
default is [Enable], which means the parallel port is available.
Important
• If the memory is running out, you need to disable the port(s) you are not using or change the memory
allocation from [Allocate Memory].
„
Print Mode
*1 (refer to P. 95)
Sets the print data process method (printer language to be used).
[Auto] (default)
Select this to make the printer automatically detect the printer language being used in the
data received from a computer and perform printing based on the detected data.
[PCL] [PS] [HP-GL/2] [TIFF]
Select this to process the data received from the computer as the specified data type. [PS]
is displayed when the PostScript software kit (optional) is installed.
„
PJL
*2 (refer to P. 95)
This printer supports PJL commands that are independent from any printer languages. The
PJL commands are used to control print jobs and are required for printing using a printer
driver. In this menu, specify whether to enable or disable the PJL commands sent from a
computer. PJL commands allow you to specify the printer language to be used for the next
data even while the printer is using a different printer language at the time. Normally, it
should be set to [Enable]. The default is [Enable].
„
Adobe Protocol
Specifies the communications protocol for PostScript. This item is displayed when the
PostScript software kit (optional) is installed.
[Normal] (default)
Select this when the communications protocol is in ASCII format.
[Binary]
Select this when the communications protocol is in binary format. Selecting this may cause
the printing process to be faster than [Normal] depending on the printing data.
[TBCP]
Select this when you have to switch between ASCII and binary formats by using specific
control codes because they are both used as the communications protocol.
Note
• Select an option according to the data format output from the printer driver in a computer.
• Generally, accept the default setting, [Normal].
• This setting is only available when PostScript is used for printing.
