Edge to Edge Printing You can print PostScript LanguageLevel 3 (hereafter referred to as
PostScript) and PCL 6 Emulation (hereafter referred to as PCL)
jobs all the way to the edge of the page. (However, there is a 4 mm
border on all edges, with all paper sizes, where print quality cannot
be guaranteed.) This feature may be selected via the Control Panel
for PCL jobs or via print drivers for both PCL and PostScript jobs.
Note that selecting this feature will cause PCL job printing to be
shifted up to the top of the page and left to the edge of the page.
Automatic Tray
Sequencing
The DP N40 allows you to set automatic tray sequencing for both
PCL and PostScript jobs. When a paper tray runs out of paper, the
printer automatically switches to another paper tray (if another tray
is loaded with the same size and type paper). That means you don't
have to load paper as often. You can also install the optional 2,500
Sheet Feeder (with one 500 sheet tray and two 1,000 sheet trays) to
extend your printing capacity.
For more information on tray switching, see the section “Automatic
Tray Switching” (page 2-16) in Chapter 2: Paper Handling.
Automatic Language
Sensing and Switching
The printer can process both PCL and PostScript jobs. When the
printer's Language Sensing option is on, the DP N40 samples the
incoming data stream to determine which language the print job
requires. The DP N40 then switches to the proper interpreter for
that job.
Language Sensing can be set individually for each port, or protocol
within a port, from the Parallel Menu and from the Ethernet and
Novell Menus by setting the appropriate PDL setting to Auto.
With the Language Sensing option on, the printer automatically
samples each print job and switches to the appropriate processing
language.
For more information about language sensing and switching, see
Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel.
Automatic Font/Macro
Saving
When you are printing both PostScript and PCL jobs, the printer
will automatically save downloaded fonts, macros, and the entire
PostScript environment when it switches PDLs (Printer Description
Language). This saves you from having to download fonts, macros,
and headers every time the program switches between PostScript
and PCL.
