2.1 IPDS MENU Setup Options vs. Printer Setup Options

Changes to the option settings under the IPDS MENU will only affect the way IPDS jobs print. These
changes will not affect PostScript or PCL jobs.
Changes to printer settings under the various printer menus will affect the way PostScript and PCL jobs
are printed. Many of these printer settings may also affect IPDS jobs.
Printer IPDS settings are for the most part used as default. They are only used in the absence of specific
instructions from the host. Thus, the settings you choose from your IPDS print job may override default
settings, including those you set yourself.
User-selected default settings remain in effect until you save new settings or restore the factory defaults.
This guide discusses changing the IPDS MENU settings. Please refer to your printer's documentation for
information on changing other printer settings.
