PAGES
COPIES: Sets vertical spacing from
5 to 128 lines for default paper size.
ORIENTATION: Allows you to select default
page orientation as LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT.
NOTE
It is best to set the page orientation in the
program or printer driver. (Program and printer-
driver settings override control-panel settings.)
FONT SOURCE: Allows you to select the font
source as Internal, CARD SLOT 1, 2, or 3,
INTERNAL DISK, or EIO DISK 1, 2, or 3.
FONT NUMBER: The printer assigns a number
to each font and lists the numbers on the PCL
Font List. The font number appears in the Font #
column of the printout.
FONT PITCH: Selects the font pitch. This item
might not appear, depending on the font selected.
FONT POINT SIZE: Selects the font point size.
This appears only if a font with a scalable point
size is selected as the default font.
SYMBOL SET: Selects any one of several
available symbol sets at the printer control panel.
A symbol set is a unique grouping of all the
characters in a font. PC-8 or PC-850 is
recommended for line-draw characters.
APPEND CR TO LF: Select YES to append a
carriage return to each line feed that the printer
encountered in backward-compatible PCL jobs
(pure text, no job control). Some environments,
such as UNIX, indicate a new line using only the
line feed control code. This option allows you to
append the required carriage return to each line
feed.
SUPPRESS BLANK PAGES: When generating
your own PCL, extra form feeds are included
that would cause a blank page(s) to be printed.
Select YES for formfeeds to be ignored if the
page is blank.
Print Quality submenu
Some items on this menu are available in the program or printer driver (if the appropriate
driver is installed). Program and printer-driver settings override control-panel settings. For
more information, see
Using the printer driver. In general, it is best to change these settings
in the printer driver, if applicable.
The following table lists the settings and possible values. In the Values column, the default
value for each setting is the one with an asterisk (*) next to it.
