specify different emulations for each interface; in other words, for 
each computer you connect the printer to. Since each emulation 
mode has its own specific options, make settings in the ESC P2, 
FX, or I239X menu, as necessary. The settings you can choose from 
are the same for every interface.

pecificationThis menu allows you to make standard print settings, such as 
Page Size and Orientation, when printing from an application or 
operating system that does not support your printer driver. Be 
sure to use the printer driver to make these settings whenever you 
can, since settings made on your computer always override these 
settings.

RITech
Turning RITech on produces smoother and crisper lines, text, and 
graphics.
Toner Save
When this setting is selected, the printer saves toner by 
substituting a gray shade for the black inside of characters. The 
characters are outlined in full black on the right and lower edges.
Image Optimum
When this mode is on, the quality of graphics is reduced. It 
reduces the amount of graphics data when the data reaches the 
memory limit, allowing complex documents to be printed.
Top Offset

page.

Caution:
Make sure that the printed image does not extend beyond the edge 
of the paper. Otherwise, you may damage the printer.

226Using the Control Panel
Specifies the language displayed on the LCD panel and that 
printed on the status sheet.
Time to Sleep
Specifies the length of time until the printer enters the sleep mode 
if there are no button operations.
Time Out
Specifies the length of the time, in seconds, before a time out when 
interfaces are being switched automatically. The time before a 
time out occurs is the length of time from the point when no data 
is being received from an interface until the point of switching the 
interface. If the printer has a print job when switching the 
interface, the printer prints the print job.
Paper Source
Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray 
or the optional lower paper cassette unit.
If you select 
Auto, paper feeds from the paper source containing 
paper that matches your Paper Size setting.
If an envelope size (DL, IB5) is selected as the Page Size setting, 
paper always feeds from the MP tray. If you select  Thick, 
ExtraThk , or Trnsprnc  as the Paper Type setting, paper always 
feeds from the MP tray.
MP Mode
This setting determines whether the MP tray has the highest or 
lowest priority when  Auto is selected as the Paper Source setting 
in the printer driver. When  Normal is selected as the MP Mode, 
the MP tray has the highest priority as the paper source. If you 
select  Last, the MP tray has the lowest priority.

adjusts the printing speed according to this setting. The printing 
speed is reduced when Thick, Extra Thk , or Trnsprnc  is selected.

Select  Front when printing on the front of thick paper ( Thick) or 
extra-thick paper ( ExtraThk).

mode.
 
						

							
228Using the Control Panel
Auto Eject Page
Specifies whether or not to eject paper when the limit specified in 
the Time Out setting is reached. The default is 
Off, which means 
paper is not ejected when the time-out limit is reached.
Size Ignore
If you want to ignore a paper size error, select  On. When you turn 
this item on, the printer keeps printing even if the image size 
exceeds the printable area for the specified paper size. This may 
cause smudges because of the toner that is not transferred onto 
the paper properly. When this item is turned off, the printer stops 
printing if a paper size error occurs.
Auto Cont
When you turn this setting on, the printer automatically continues 
printing after a certain period of time when one of the following 
errors occurs: Paper Set, Print Overrun, or Mem Overflow. When 
this option is off, you must press the  NStart/Stop  button to 
resume printing.
Page Protect
Allocates additional printer memory for printing data, as 
opposed to receiving it. You may need to turn this setting on if 
you are printing a very complex page. If a  Print Overrun error 
message appears on the LCD panel during printing, turn this 
setting on and reprint your data. This reduces the amount of 
memory reserved for processing data so your computer may take 
longer to send the print job, but it will allow you to print complex 
jobs. Page Protect usually works best when  Auto is selected. You 
will need to increase your printer’s memory if memory errors 
continue to occur.
Note:
Changing the Page Protect setting  reconfigures the printer’s memory, 
which causes any downloaded fonts to be deleted.
