Specifies the language displayed on the LCD panel and that printed on the status sheet.
Specifies the length of the time the printer waits when it is ready to print and no new data is received. When this time is up, the printer searches for new print data from other interfaces.
Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray, the standard lower cassette, or from the optional paper cassette unit, when Normal is selected as the Paper Type setting.
If you select Auto, paper feeds from the paper source containing paper that matches your Paper Size setting.
If an envelope size (IB5, C10, C5, DL, MON, C6) is selected as the Page Size setting, paper always feeds from the MP tray. If you select Thick, ExtraThk, Trnsprnc, or Coated as the Paper Type setting, paper always feeds from the MP tray.
This setting determines whether the MP tray has the highest or lowest priority when Auto is selected as the Paper Source setting in the printer driver. When Normal is selected as the MP Mode, the MP tray has the highest priority as the paper source. If you select Last, the MP tray has the lowest priority.
Allows you to select the manual feed mode for the MP tray. For details on the manual feed mode, see Manually feeding paper.
Designates the number of copies to be printed, from 1 through 999.
Turns duplex printing on or off.
Specifies the binding direction of the printout.
Specifies whether printing starts from the front or back of the page.
Specifies the type of paper to be used for printing. The printer adjusts the printing speed according to this setting. The printing speed is reduced when Thick, Extra Thk, or Trnsprnc is selected.
Select Front when printing on the front of thick paper (Thick) or extra-thick paper (ExtraThk).
Select Back when printing on the back of thick paper (Thick) or extra-thick paper (ExtraThk).
Enables you to skip blank pages when printing. This setting is available when you print in the PCL5e, ESC/Page, ESCP2, FX, or I239X mode.
Specifies whether or not to eject paper when the limit specified in the Time Out setting is reached. The default is Off, which means paper is not ejected when the time-out limit is reached.
If you want to ignore a paper size error, select On. When you turn this item on, the printer keeps printing even if the image size exceeds the printable area for the specified paper size. This may cause smudges because of the toner that is not transferred onto the paper properly. When this item is turned off, the printer stops printing if a paper size error occurs.
When you turn this setting on, the printer automatically continues printing after a certain period of time when one of the following errors occurs: Paper Set, Print Overrun, or Mem Overflow. When this option is off, you must press the Start/Stop button to resume printing.
Allocates additional printer memory for printing data, as opposed to receiving it. You may need to turn this setting on if you are printing a very complex page. If a Print Overrun error message appears on the LCD panel during printing, turn this setting 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 when Auto is selected. You will need to increase your printer's memory if memory errors continue to occur.

Specifies whether the printer performs a carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation whenever the printing position goes beyond the right margin. If you select Off, the printer does not print any characters beyond the right margin and does not perform any line wrapping until it receives a carriage-return character. This function is handled automatically by most applications.
If you select Off, the printer does not send an automatic line-feed (LF) command with each carriage-return (CR). If On is selected, a line-feed command is sent with each carriage-return. Select On if your text lines overlap.
The printer is able to emulate the graphics densities set with the printer commands. If you select Dark, the bit image density is high, and if you select Light, the bit image density is low.
If you select BarCode, the printer converts bit images to bar codes by automatically filling in any vertical gaps between dots. This produces unbroken vertical lines that can be read by a bar code reader. This mode will reduce the size of the image being printed, and may also cause some distortion when printing bit image graphics.
Specifies whether the printer prints a slashed or unslashed zero.
This menu allows you to make settings which affect the printer when it is in the FX emulation mode.

Turns condensed printing on or off.
Sets the distance from the top of the page to the baseline of the first printable line. The distance is measured in inches. The smaller the value, the closer the printable line is to the top.
Sets the page length in lines. For this option, a line is assumed to be 1 pica (1/6 inch). If you change the Orientation, Page Size, or T. Margin settings, the page length setting automatically returns to the default for each paper size.
Use the character generator (CG) table option to select the graphics character table or the italics table. The graphics table contains graphic characters for printing lines, corners, shaded areas, international characters, Greek characters, and mathematical symbols. If you select Italic, the upper half of the character table is defined as italic characters.
Use this option to select one of the fifteen international symbol sets. See International character sets for samples of the characters in each country's symbol set.
Specifies whether the printer performs a carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation whenever the printing position goes beyond the right margin. If you select Off, the printer does not print any characters beyond the right margin and does not perform any line wrapping until it receives a carriage-return character. This function is handled automatically by most applications.
