Menu item Description
Printer Language
PCL Emulation
PS Emulation
PPDS 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 only affects 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 a flash option is installed.
Resource Save
On
Off
Specifies how the printer handles temporary downloads, such as
fonts and macros stored in RAM, when the printer receives a job
that requires more memory than is available
Notes:
• Off is the factory default setting. Off sets the printer to retain
the downloads only until memory is needed. Downloads are
deleted in order to process print jobs.
• The On setting retains the downloads during language
changes and printer resets. If the printer runs out of memory,
38 Memory Full appears, and downloads are not deleted.
