viations:
PAR

SER

OPT
Optional interface
The PAR, SER, or OPT indicator flashes when the printer is receiving and has received all the data, and
then remains on.
Resolution Indicator
This shows the current printing resolution. The resolutions below can be switched on the control panel. The
default is 1200 dpi (Fast 1200 mode) in the PCL 6 and KPDL emulation mode and 300 dpi in other emulation
modes. The printer's resolution can be selected using the printer's control panel (See the last page in this
manual.). For 1200 dpi, there are two modes, Fast 1200 mode and Fine 1200 mode. See Mode Select Menu at
the end of this manual.
