Configuration menu Items in this menu affect the printer's behavior. Configure the printer according to your printing needs. Table 20. Configuration menu Item Values POWERSAVE= 30 MINUTES 15 MINUTES 30 MINUTES 1 HOUR 2 HOURS 3 HOURS PERSONALITY= AUTO AUTO PCL PS RESOURCE SAVE= OFF OFF AUTO ON PAGE PROTECT= AUTO AUTO ON Explanation Set the printer to change to PowerSave mode after it has been idle for a specified amount of time. Turning PowerSave off is not recommended. The PowerSave feature does the following: 1. Minimizes the amount of power consumed by the printer when it is idle. 2. Reduces wear on the printer's electronic components. (Turns off the display's backlight.) When you send a print job, press a control panel key, open a paper tray, or open the top cover, the printer automatically comes out of PowerSave mode. Note: PowerSave turns off the backlight on the display, but the display is still readable. Select the default printer language (personality). Possible values are determined by which valid languages are installed in the printer. Normally, you should not change the printer language (the default is AUTO). If you change it to a specific printer language, the printer will not automatically switch from one language to another unless specific software commands are sent to the printer. Dedicate printer memory to save each language's permanent resources. (You might have to add memory to the printer in order for this item to appear.) The amount of memory set aside can be different for each installed language. Some languages might have memory set aside for resource saving without requiring all languages to do so. Any time the amount of memory dedicated to a specific language is changed, all languages will lose all saved resources, including any unprocessed print jobs. OFF: No language resource saving is performed, and language-dependent resources, such as fonts and macros, are lost when language or resolution changes. ON: An item will appear for each installed language that allows the user to allocate a particular amount of memory to that language's resource saving area. (See the items below.) AUTO: The printer automatically determines the amount of memory to use for each installed language's resource saving area. This item appears only after a 21 PAGE TOO COMPLEX, PRESS GO TO CONTINUE message appears. Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) attempts to guarantee that all pages will print. If the page does not print, turn PAGE PROTECT to ON. This might increase chances of a 20 INSUFFICIENT MEMORY, PRESS GO TO CONTINUE message. If this occurs, simplify the print job or install additional memory. Q1860-90918 Chapter 3 Printer operation 53
