Pcl 5E Features - NEC Super Script 4400 Maintenance Manual

PCL 5 F
E EATURES
These are general descriptions of settings available in the PCL 5e printer drivers. The interface of the printer driver
depends on the operating system you use. Not all settings are available for all drivers, or they may appear on
different tabs in the printer driver. All printer drivers have Online Help available at the click of a button, with more
information about specific settings. Chapter 3xxx shows the PCL 5e printer drivers and explains how to use them.
Resolution
Print resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch (dpi) in an image. The higher the number is, the finer
the resolution. Resolution can be set to 600 (the default), 300, 150, and 75 dpi. Lower resolutions require less
memory and processing time.
Dithering
Select a dithering pattern for converting images from one format to another, for example, for printing color
documents in black and white. Dithering, along with the intensity and resolution settings, effect the overall
appearance of graphics in printed documents.
Halftone Color Adjustment
In the Windows NT driver xxxx [is this the same as dithering--what is the color feature for?? xxx?
Intensity
Adjust this setting to control the darkness of graphics in the printed document.
Sharp Edge Technology
Specifies whether or not NEC's Sharp Edge Technology (SET) should be used. SET is only available with 600dpi. It
refines the print quality of characters and line art by smoothing the fine gradations along the edge of the printed
image. When SET is off, print is draft quality, but faster.
Reserved printer memory
Specify how much memory to reserve for special printer functions, such as macros, front panel settings, etc. The
reserved memory is not used for printing.
Printer memory tracking
Before printing a document, the printer driver calculates how much memory is required to print. If the document
requires more memory than is available in the printer, the document is rejected. Use this setting to define how this
calculation is made. A conservative calculation ensures that printer memory is never over committed. A more
aggressive calculation allows the printer to attempt printing a complex document, but memory may be over-
exceeded and the print job may not be completed.
Printer Memory
This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the SuperScript 4400 printer and does not need to be
adjusted.
Cartridges
This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the SuperScript 4400 printer and does not need to be
adjusted.
