Menu selection Purpose
Printer Language Specifies the default printer language
used to communicate data from the
computer to the printer.
Note: Setting a printer language as the
default does not prevent a software
application from sending print jobs that
use the other language.
Print Area Modifies the logical and physical
printable area.
Download Target Specifies the storage location for
downloaded resources.
Storing downloaded resources in flash
memory or on a hard disk is permanent
storage rather than the temporary
storage that RAM provides. The
resources remain in the flash memory or
on the hard disk even when the printer is
turned off.
Job Accounting Specifies to store or not store statistical
information about your most recent print
jobs on the hard disk. The statistics
include whether the job printed with or
without errors, the print time, the job size
(in bytes), the requested paper size and
paper type, the total number of printed
pages, and the number of copies
requested.
Note: Job Accounting is only displayed
when a hard disk is installed, is neither
defective nor Read/Write or Write
protected, and Job Buffer Size is not set
to 100%.
Resource Save Specifies what the printer does with
downloaded resources, such as fonts
and macros stored in RAM, if the printer
receives a job that requires more
memory than is available.
