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, the standard paper cassette, or the optional 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 (C5) is selected as the Page Size setting, paper always feeds from the MP tray. Out Bin Specifies the output tray when the optional Stacker is installed. Stacker Specifies whether or not to output the paper to the face-down tray when the Stacker is full. 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.

Skip Blank Page Enables you to skip blank pages when printing. This setting is available when you print in the ESC/Page, ESCP2, FX, or I239X mode. 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 Start/Stop button to resume printing.
AcuLaser M4000 Series Users Guide Using the Control Panel64 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. Toner Alert Specifies whether or not to display the alert when the imaging cartridge is near the end of its service life. If you select Set, the alert is displayed when the imaging cartridge is near the end of its service life. Printing can be continued by pressing Start/Stop button. If you select Skip, printing continues even if the imaging cartridge is near the end of its service life. LCD Contrast Adjusts the contrast of the LCD panel. Use the uUp and dDown buttons to set the contrast between 0 (lowest contrast) and 15 (highest contrast.) RAM Disk Specifies the RAM disk size available for the Reserve Job function.
