PAGE PROTECTION
✒ Note
The setting in this mode menu is effective in the HP PCL5C, EPSON FX-
850, IBM Proprinter XL, and HP-GL modes. It does not appear in the
BR-Script 2 mode.
If print images are too complex to print, the printer may print them out in
parts or only on part of the page. If this occurs, the printer loses print data
and shows a message on the LCD panel.
The page protection function reserves additional memory so that the
printer can create the entire page image in memory before physically
printing it out. This function can be set for letter, A4, or legal size paper.
Select the paper size for page protection.

including permanent ones—are cleared. If the memory is too low to
protect pages, page protection does not take effect.
