Description
Specifies the printer language used to communicate data from the computer to the
printer
Notes:
• PCL emulation uses a PCL interpreter for processing print jobs. PostScript
emulation uses a PS interpreter for processing print jobs. PPDS emulation uses
a PPDS interpreter for processing print jobs.
•
The factory default printer language varies depending on the type of printer
purchased.
•
Setting a printer language as the default does not prevent a program from
sending print jobs that use another printer language.
Specifies how the printer handles temporary downloads, such as fonts and macros
stored in RAM, when the printer receives a job that requires more memory than is
available
Notes:
•
Off is the factory default setting. Off sets the printer to retain the downloads
only until memory is needed. Downloads are deleted in order to process print
jobs.
• The On setting retains the downloads during language changes and printer
resets. If the printer runs out of memory, 38 Memory Full appears, and
downloads are not deleted.
Prints all text and graphics using only the black toner cartridge
Specifies how the printer processes jobs with black and white and color information
Notes:
•
Max Speed prints in a black only mode until it receives a page with color
content. Then, it prints in color and does not switch to black only until it
receives ten consecutive black‑and‑white pages.
• Max Yield switches from black to color mode based on the color content found
on each page.
Sets the storage location for downloads
Notes:
•
RAM is the factory default setting.
•
Storing downloads in flash memory or on a printer hard disk places them in
permanent storage. Downloads remain in flash memory or on the printer hard
disk even when the printer is turned off.
•
Storing downloads in RAM is temporary.
