Print Timeout
To specify the amount of time (in
seconds) the printer waits before
printing the last page of a print job that
does not end with a command to print
the page. The print timeout counter
does not start until Waiting appears
on the display.
Disabled The printer does not print the last page
of a print job until one of the following
occurs:
The printer receives enough
information to fill the page.
The printer receives a Form Feed
command.
You select Print Buffer from the Job
Menu.
1...255 (90*) The printer prints the last page after
the specified time. (Your printer may
not support the entire range of values.)
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 appears on
the display.
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
