Table 5-3 Item PAPER ORIENTATION FORM Menu Items Affected by PostScript Most PostScript menu items are similar to those for the PCL mode. Those that are different are listed in the following tables. For menu items common to PostScript and PCL, see Chapter 3, "Using the Printer Control Panel." Printing Menu Differences Options None Explanation These settings are ignored because of the way PostScript formats pages. Table 5-4 Job Menu Differences Item RESOLUTION Options 300 600* PERSONALTY AUTO* PCL PS I/O TIMEOUT 15* (5 to 300) *Indicates factory default. Explanation If your PostScript printer driver cannot select 600 dpi, you can select 600 dpi resolution from the printer's control panel. Note that a file set for 300 dpi overrides the 600 dpi control panel setting for that file only, printing the job at 300 dpi. The setting reverts to the default after the job prints. When you set personality to AUTO, the printer automatically selects PostScript when it receives a PostScript job. When you set personality to PS, the printer stops switching personalities automatically. Instead, it switches to another personality only when a software command specifically instructs it to do so. AUTO is recommended, especially in shared printer environments. I/O timeout refers to the time, measured in seconds, that the printer waits before ending a print job. The PostScript wait timeout and job timeout operators are not affected by this menu item. The I/O TIMEOUT setting does not affect how long a PostScript job is allowed to run or how long PostScript waits for input. 5-10 PostScript Printing EN
