How to / Remote Control Panel Utility (Windows)
Page Setup button
The settings presented in this section are also available in the printer driver. Most application programs give you access to the printer driver from within the application itself. You should always try to change basic printer settings from within the application program or by accessing the printer driver directly from the operating system.
Settings made in the application program or in the printer driver override those settings made in the Remote Control Panel utility. However, if you are unable to access the printer driver, or if you are running DOS, then make these settings through this utility.
 | Note: |
 | Settings made in the Remote Control Panel utility are not effective until you click the Send button to download the information to the printer. If you share this printer, the settings shown on your Remote Control Panel utility may not reflect the actual settings in the printer as they may have been changed by other users. Even if the Remote Control Panel Utility already shows your desired setting, always click Send to ensure that you can print with that setting. |
Clicking the Page Setup button on the Remote Control Panel screen opens the following dialog box:
| Note: |
| Use the Next and Prev buttons to access all available setting options. |

Allows you to set the number of copies to be printed. You can enter any number from 1 to 999. If possible, you should specify the number of copies from your application program. This setting affects the setting under other emulation modes as well.
Lets you specify the number of horizontal lines on a page. You can enter any number from 5 to 128. This setting is available only in the LaserJet4 mode.
Determines whether only a carriage return (CR) or a carriage return and a line feed (LF) procedure should be carried out. When CR (default) is selected, the printer does not perform a line feed command with each carriage return. CR+LF causes the printer to add a line feed to each carriage return command it receives. Select CR+LF if you find that lines of text are overlapping in your document.
Determines whether only a line feed (LF) or a line feed and a carriage return (CR) procedure should be carried out. When LF (default) is selected, the printer does not perform a carriage return with each line feed or form feed (FF). CR+LF causes the printer to add a carriage return to each line feed or form feed command it receives. Select CR+LF if you find that the printer does not print characters beyond the right margin.
Lets you specify whether the page is printed in Portrait (default) or Landscape orientation.
Allows you to select the method and source of paper supply from among the following settings: Auto Selection (paper is fed from whichever tray has the correct paper size), MP Tray (MP tray), Lower Cassette (500-Sheet Lower Paper Cassette Unit, if installed). The default is Auto Selection.
On selects manual feed mode for the MP tray. The default setting is Off. For details, see Manually loading paper.
Allows you to use A4 Wide paper size in the MP tray.
Determines the priority order of paper sources to use when the Paper Source setting is set to Auto, or when the paper source is not specified. The available choices are Normal (default) and Last. Normal gives priority to the MP tray while Last sets the optional 500-Sheet Lower Paper Cassette Unit as the priority paper source.
Sets whether or not paper is output when a timeout is reached, according to the Timeout setting. The default setting is Off so paper is not printed when a timeout is reached. This item is not available in the PCL6 mode.
When turned on, the printer skips pages that have no images or characters, allowing you to save paper. The default setting is Off.
Allows you to specify the type of paper used when printing from the MP tray. The available options are Plain (default), Preprinted, Letterhead, Recycled, Color, Transparency, and Labels.
Allows you to specify the type of paper used when printing from the optional 500-Sheet Lower Paper Cassette Unit. The available options are Plain (default), Preprinted, Letterhead, Recycled, and Color.

Page Protect is a function that allows you to allocate additional printer memory for printing data. You may need to use Page Protect if you are printing a highly complex page. If a Print Overrun error occurs, change the setting to On and reprint your data. This reduces the amount of memory reserved for receiving data so your computer may take longer to send the print job, but it will allow you to print complex jobs. Page Protect usually works best if set to Auto (default). You may need to increase your printer's memory if memory errors continue to occur.
| Note: |
| Changing the Page Protect setting reconfigures the printer's memory, which causes any downloaded fonts to be erased. |
Allows you to select the resolution you want to use for printing. The available settings are 1200dpi, 600dpi (default), and 300dpi.
Allows you to turn the RITech (Resolution Improvement Technology) setting on or off. The default setting is On. For more information about RITech, see Optimizing Print Quality.
Permits the printer to automatically recover from a Print Overrun, Insufficient Memory for Current Task, or Change Paper error. The printer continues printing within a few seconds after one of these problems occurs.
When Auto Continue is off, you must press the Continue button to resume printing. In most cases, leave Auto Continue off (default) so you can tell when an error occurs and make the necessary corrections. You might want to set Auto Continue to On when printing long jobs or when you are away from the printer for long periods.
Allows you to adjust the print density to make the printout darker or lighter. Click the arrow key to darken or lighten the output.
You can turn the Toner Save mode on or off (default). When turned on, the printer saves toner by substituting a gray shade for the black inside of characters. The characters are outlined in full black on the right and lower edges.
Allows you to set whether the printer should continue or stop printing when the printer encounters a Toner Out error. If set to Continue (default), the printer continues printing regardless of the error. This setting is recommended if you are physically distant from the printer. If set to Stop, the printer stops printing when it encounters the Toner Out error.
Allows you to print complex graphics even when print data reaches the memory limit. When set to On, the amount of graphics data is automatically reduced, allowing complex documents to be printed. However, the quality of the graphics is reduced.
Changes the assignment for the paper source select command. When 4 is selected the commands are set as compatible with the HP LaserJet 4. When 4K is selected the commands are set as compatible with the HP LaserJet 4000, 5000, and 8000. When 5S is selected the commands are set as compatible with the HP LaserJet 5S.
Allows you to set the paper size for the MP tray. The options are the same as those under Page Size. This setting affects the setting under other emulation modes as well.
Allows you to specify the type of paper to improve print quality. Thick W is for paper with a width of less than 132 mm. Think N is for thick and narrow paper like envelopes. Transparency is for transparencies. Always use Normal (default) unless print quality problems occur.
This setting is relevant to 1200-dpi printing only. When set to On, the printing pattern of 1-dot lines is automatically corrected to improve appearance.
Clicking the More button on the Remote Control Panel screen opens the following dialog box:
Allows you to adjust the vertical printing position on the page. The setting is in millimeters. You can move the printing position by 0.5 mm increments from the top edge (the parameters are from -99 to 99).
Allows you to adjust the horizontal printing position on the page. The setting is in millimeters. You can move the printing position in 0.5 mm increments from the left edge (the parameters are from -99 to 99).
Allows you to set the Standby mode to Enable (default) or Disable. When Standby is enabled, the printer goes into sleep mode if it is not used for 30 minutes. The printer begins warming up as soon as you send data, and is ready to print in about 22 seconds. When Standby is disabled, the printer stays warmed up and ready to print all the time.
Allows you to set the length of time the printer waits before looking for the next print job. If the printer is online and receives no new data for the number of seconds specified, the printer automatically switches to the next channel that receives data. You can set the timeout value in 1-second increments (the parameters are from 5 to 300).
Allows you to select whether a paper size error is ignored when it occurs. Turning this item on causes the printer to print even if the image size exceeds the printable area for the specified paper size. This may cause smudges, due to toner that is not transferred onto the paper properly. When this item is off (default), the printer stops printing if a paper size error occurs.
Allows you to select the international character set.
Allows you to select the character table. Character tables contain the characters and symbols used in different languages. The printer prints text based on the selected character table.
