Chapter 1: LN17 Printer Quick Tour ❖ 1-7
Edge to Edge
Printing
For those instances when you need to print PCL 5e Emulation
(hereafter referred to as PCL) jobs all the way to the edge of
the page, turn on the Edge to Edge option in the PCL Emulat
Menu. Edge to edge printing is always available for
PostScript jobs and requires no setting. Just format your
document to the edge of the page.
See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel for instructions on
changing Control Panel settings.
Automatic Tray
Switching
The LN17 printer allows you to set automatic tray switching
for both PCL and PostScript (when PostScript is installed)
jobs. When tray switching is on, and the paper tray runs out of
paper, the printer automatically switches to another paper
tray (if another tray is loaded with the same size paper). That
means you don’t have to load paper as often. You can also
install one or two optional 500-sheet Paper Deck and
Cassettes (lower trays) to extend your printing capacity.
For more information on tray switching, see the section
“Automatic Tray Switching” (page 2-13) in Chapter 2: Paper
Handling.
Automatic
Language Sensing
and Switching
When you have installed the PostScript option, the printer can
process both PCL and PostScript jobs. When the printer’s
Language Sensing option is on, the LN17 printer samples the
incoming data stream to determine which language the print
job requires. The LN17 printer then switches to the proper
language for that job.
The LN17 printer can have up to three active ports when you
install two optional network interface cards. Turn the
Language Sensing option on for all the ports, and the printer
automatically samples each print job and switches to the
appropriate processing language.
For more information about language sensing and switching,
see Appendix D: Control Panel Options.
