Quick Print Setup You can turn the Quick Print Setup function ON or OFF. A small selection window appears on your computer, this will then let you make changes to the settings of the following functions: ■Multiple Page ■Duplex ■Toner Save Mode ■Paper Source ■Media Type Sleep Time When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time (timeout), it enters sleep mode. Sleep mode acts as though the printer was turned off. The default timeout is 5 minutes and it is automatically adjusted to the most suitable time-out setting depending on the frequency of your printer use (Intelligent Sleep Mode). While the printer is in sleep mode, the light on the display is off, but the printer can still receive data from the computer. Receiving a print file or document automatically wakes up the printer to start printing. Pressing one of the buttons will also wake up the printer. If you want to prevent other people from printing your data using the Reprint function, clear the Use Reprint check box in the job spooling settings.
DRIVER AND SOFTWARE 2 - 8 HL7050_US_UG_FM5.5 Status Monitor This reports the page number and printer status (any errors that occur on the printer) during printing. If you do not need the Printer Status and would like to speed up your job, set the Printer Status to OFF. Macro You can save a page of a document as a macro to printer memory or optional device. Moreover, you can execute the saved macro - in other words, you can use the saved macro as an overlay on any documents. This will save time and increase printing speed for often used information such as forms, company logos, letter head formats or invoices. Page Protection Page Protection refers to a setting that reserves additional memory for the creation of full page images. Selections are AUTO, OFF, LTR (Letter-size paper), A4 or LGL (legal-size-paper). The page protection feature allows the printer to create the full page image to be printed in memory before physically moving the paper through the printer.

Time: Specifies the format of the time. HRC This option allows you to change the HRC setting on your Brother HL-7050 series printer.
