Printer Operations
These settings allow you to control the way the printer
operates.
Emulation
Emulation settings allow you to specify the printer
language the Silentwriter uses. Emulation can only be
set using the operator panel menu tree. Options are
Automatic Emulation Switching (AES):
the Silentwriter to assess incoming print jobs and
automatically switch to the appropriate printing
language—either PostScript Level 2 emulation or
PCL 5e emulation. AES is the default.
PostScript 2:
When this is set, the printer can only
receive and interpret print jobs using PostScript
Level 2 and earlier versions of the page description
language.
When this is set, the printer can only
PCL 5e:
receive and interpret print jobs using PCL 5e and
earlier versions of the printer command language.
Hex Dump:
You use this setting to check the
integrity of the parallel port connection and verify
that only intended commands are sent. It prints out
an ASCII text file that can be used for debugging.
Hex Dump supports PCL, Printer Job Language
(PJL) , and PostScript characters. All characters
received will be printed. Hex Dump does not work
with Ethernet, LocalTalk, or the Silentwriter
network software.
note:
When emulation is not set to AES, the printer
will switch emulation only when it encounters specific
PJL commands embedded in incoming print jobs.

Interface
Interface settings allow you to select the interface port
for the printer. Interface options can only be set using
the operator panel menu tree. They include
Parallel:
port. This is the default setting for the 1760 printer.
Network:
LocalTalk or Ethernet network ports.
AES allows
Automatic Interface Monitoring (AIM):
allows the printer to monitor all ports for incoming
print jobs. This is the default setting for the 1765
network printer. (This option is not available in the
operator panel if the LAN card is not installed in the
printer.)
Power Saving
Power Saving allows you to adjust energy savings
according to your pattern of use. With Power Saving
On, if the printer is idle for a specified time, the fuser
unit pauses and power consumption is decreased from
575 watts to 45 watts (the next job requires a brief warm-
up time).
The default setting is Off, which means that the printer
never reduces power consumption.
Idle Time:
selecting an Idle Time. Idle Time can be set to
Always On (i.e., printer begins Power Saving
immediately after each print job), or to begin Power
Saving after 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
Power Saving can be set using the printer operator
panel menu tree or the Print Navigator in MS-DOS.
