Fig. 3.9 General Menu Options
Printer Status
This option provides on screen information about the printer's current
status. For example, the status may indicate that the printer is idle, ready
to receive a job. If the printer is receiving data, the status message lists
the interface source; if the printer is processing a job, the status message
lists the user name, document name, and interface source.
Printer Information
This option allows you to send information about the printer's
current settings to the screen or the printer. The list includes
information about the printer configuration, the storage devices on
the printer, and the network configuration.
Spooling
This option allows you to enable and control spooling on the
printer's hard drive. Spooling frees up the communication channel
between your Macintosh and printer which permits your computer to
return to other processing quickly. Spooling can be enabled for each
interface independently using this menu or the Interface menus on
the printer's front panel. See "The Spooler" later in this chapter.
Margin Adjustment
This option allows you to adjust the printer margin. Printer margin
refers to the imageable area, not to margin settings for a document in
an application. The imageable area is the portion of a page on which
the printer can lay down toner. The Margin Adjustment allows you
to adjust the position of this imageable area. See "Printer Margin
Adjustment" later in this chapter.
