Understanding the operator panel
Printer
Language
To establish the default printer
language used to communicate
data from the computer to the
printer.
Note: Setting a printer language
as the default does not prevent a
software application from sending
print jobs that use the other
language.
PCL Emulation PCL emulation, compatible with
Hewlett-Packard printers.
PS Emulation* PostScript emulation, compatible
with Adobe PostScript language.
PPDS
Emulation
PPDS emulation.
Resource
Save
To determine what the printer does
with downloaded resources, such
as fonts and macros stored in
RAM, if the printer receives a job
that requires more memory than is
available.
Off* Printer retains downloaded
resources only until memory is
needed. It then deletes those
resources associated with the
inactive printer language.
On Printer retains all downloaded
resources for all printer languages
during language changes and
printer resets. If the printer runs
out of memory, 38 Memory Full
is displayed.
Toner Alarm
To specify how the printer
responds when it is low on toner.
Off* An error message is displayed until
someone replaces the toner
cartridge. If an Auto Continue
value is selected from the Setup
Menu, the printer resumes printing
after the specified timeout value.
Single Printer stops printing, displays an
error message, and sounds three
quick beeps.
Continuous Printer stops printing, displays an
error message, and repeats three
beeps every 10 seconds until the
toner cartridge is replaced.
Wait
Timeout
To specify the amount of time (in
seconds) the printer waits to
receive additional bytes of data
from the computer. When this
timeout expires, the print job is
canceled.
Note: Wait Timeout is only
available when you use PostScript
emulation. This menu item has no
effect on PCL emulation print jobs.
Disabled Disables Wait Timeout.
15...65535 (40*) Specifies the amount of time the
printer waits for additional data
before it cancels the job.
