HP LaserJet 3200 Service Manual - Page 69

Page Protect Page complexity (ruling lines, complex graphics, or dense text) can exceed the printer's ability to create the page image fast enough to keep pace with the image formation process. If Page Protect is disabled and a page is too complex, the page might print in parts (for example, the top half on one page and the bottom half on the next page). Some print-data loss is likely in these instances, and the printer will display an error message. Page Protect allows the formatter to create the entire page image in page buffer memory before physically moving the paper through the printer. This process ensures that the entire page will be printed. The default setting is Auto. PJL Overview Printer Job Language (PJL) is an integral part of configuration, in addition to the standard Printer Command Language (PCL). With standard ECP cabling, PJL allows the printer to perform functions such as: l Two-way communication with the host computer through a bidirectional parallel or USB connection. The printer can tell the host such things as the control panel status. l Isolation of print environment settings from one print job to the next. For example, if a print job is sent to the printer in landscape mode, the subsequent print jobs print in landscape only if they are formatted for landscape printing. EN Formatter system 67
