You can 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 LJ4, ESC P2, FX, GL2, or I239X menu, as necessary. The settings you can choose from are the same for every interface. * Available only when an optional Type-B interface card is installed. Printing Menu This 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.

Functions of the Control Panel351 B B B B B B B B B B B B Resolution Specifies the printing resolution. 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. Density Specifies the printing density. 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 Makes fine adjustments to the vertical printing position of the page. c Caution: Make sure that the printed image does not extend beyond the edge of the paper. Otherwise, you may damage the printer. Left Offset Makes fine adjustments to the horizontal printing position of the page. This is useful for fine adjustments.

354Functions of the Control Panel Lang Specifies the language displayed on the LCD panel and that printed on the status sheet. Time Out Specifies the length of the time the printer waits when it is ready to print and no new data is received. When this time is up, the printer searches for new print data from other interfaces. Paper Source Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray, the standard cassette, or from the optional Universal Cassette Unit, when Normal is selected as the Paper Type setting. If you select Auto, paper feeds from the paper source containing paper that matches your Paper Size setting. If an envelope size (IB5, C10, C5, DL, MON, C6) is selected as the Page Size setting, paper always feeds from the MP tray. If you select Thick, Thick N, Thick R, or Trnsprnc as the Paper Type setting, paper always feeds from the MP tray. Out Bin Specifies the output tray when the optional Stacker is installed. Stacker The stacker has been removed while the printer was on. Turn the printer off, reinstall the Stacker, and then turn the printer on again.
Functions of the Control Panel355 B B B B B B B B B B B B 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. Manual Feed Allows you to select the manual feed mode for the MP tray. For details on the manual feed mode, see “Manually feeding paper” on page 19. Copies Designates the number of copies to be printed, from 1 through 999. Duplex Turns duplex printing on or off. Binding Specifies the binding direction of the printout. Start Page Specifies whether printing starts from the front or back of the page. Offset Stacking Specifies whether or not to sort the printouts right and left for each print job.
356Functions of the Control Panel Paper Type Specifies the type of paper to be used for printing. The printer adjusts the printing speed according to this setting. The printing speed is reduced when Thick or Trnsprnc is selected. Skip Blank Page Enables you to skip blank pages when printing. This setting is available when you print in the PCL5e, 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 N Start/Stop button to resume printing.
Functions of the Control Panel357 B B B B B B B B B B B B 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 receiving 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 Out Specifies whether the printer stops printing when the printer is running out of toner. If you select Continue, you can continue printing after clearing the warning message. However, it may cause problems such as faint print. LCD Contrast Adjusts the contrast of the LCD panel. Use the Up and Down buttons to set the contrast between 0 (lowest contrast) and 15 (highest contrast.) Quick Print Job Menu This menu allows you to print or delete print jobs that were stored in the printer’s Hard Disk Drive using the Quick Print Job feature (Re-Print Job, Verify Job, Stored Job) of the printer driver’s Reserve Job function. For instructions on using this menu, see “Using the Quick Print Job Menu” on page 341.
