Printer Language
PCL Emulation
PS Emulation
Sets the default printer language
Notes:
•
PCL emulation uses a PCL interpreter for processing print
jobs. PostScript emulation uses a PS interpreter for processing
print jobs.
•
PCL is the factory default printer language.
•
Setting a printer language as the default does not prevent a
software program from sending print jobs that use another
printer language.
Print Area
Normal
Whole Page
Sets the logical and physical printable area
Notes:
•
This menu does not appear if Edge to Edge is enabled in the
printer Setup menu.
•
Normal is the factory default setting. When attempting to
print data in the non-printable area defined by the Normal
setting, the printer clips the image at the boundary.
•
The Whole Page setting allows the image to be moved into
the non-printable area defined by the Normal setting, but the
printer will clip the image at the Normal setting boundary.
•
The Whole Page setting affects only pages printed using a
PCL 5e interpreter. This setting has no effect on pages printed
using the PCL XL or PostScript interpreter.
Download Target
RAM
Flash
Sets the storage location for downloads
Notes:
•
RAM is the factory default setting.
•
Storing downloads in flash memory places them in
permanent storage. Downloads remain in flash memory even
when the printer is turned off.
•
Storing downloads in RAM is temporary.
•
This menu appears only if optional flash memory is installed.
