PCL XL Settings or KPDL Settings
Enable smart duplex printing
This option automatically keeps a sheet of paper from being sent through the
duplex unit if the sheet will only be printed on one side. The duplex unit will
be bypassed for the following types of print jobs: a one page document, one
page from a multi-page document, or a multi-page document that prints onto
a single sheet. Selecting this option can reduce wear on the mechanical
duplex unit, and result in comparatively faster printing times.
PCL XL Settings
Skip printing blank pages
This option prevents the printing system from outputting any page that
contains no data, or that has, at most, one space character. Selecting this
option can save paper, and result in comparatively faster printing times. This
feature is for regular printing (not for booklet, duplex or multiple pages per
sheet).
KPDL Settings
Allow data passthrough
This option reduces errors when printing complex jobs from applications that
use PostScript formatting. When selected,
EMF spooling
is not available in
the
Advanced
tab.
