items common to PostScript and PCL, see Chapter 3, “Using the Printer

Item Options Explanation
RESOLUTION 300
600*
If your PostScript printer driver cannot select 600 dpi, you can select 600
dpi resolution from the printer’s control panel. Note that a file set for 300
dpi overrides the 600 dpi control panel setting
for that file only,
printing the
job at 300 dpi. The setting reverts to the default after the job prints.
PERSONALTY AUTO*
PCL
PS
When you set personality to AUTO, the printer automatically selects
PostScript when it receives a PostScript job. When you set personality to
PS, the printer stops switching personalities automatically. Instead, it
switches to another personality only when a software command
specifically instructs it to do so. AUTO is recommended, especially in
shared printer environments.
I/O TIMEOUT 15*
(5 to 300)
I/O timeout refers to the time, measured in seconds, that the printer waits
before ending a print job. The PostScript wait timeout and job timeout
operators are not affected by this menu item. The I/O TIMEOUT setting
does not affect how long a PostScript job is allowed to run or how long
PostScript waits for input.
*Indicates factory default.
