How to / SelecType Settings
Test Menu
Read this section for a complete description of the settings available on the SelecType menus.
From this menu you can perform an internal test printing which includes information on the printer's current settings and available fonts.
Press the Item button to select a sheet or font sample, then press Enter to print. There are no settings to select by pressing Value button.
 | Caution: |
 | When you print these samples, user-defined data stored in the printer, such as downloaded fonts, may be erased depending on which sample you print. |
Prints a sheet describing the current printer settings. Use this option to check whether your printer is working correctly.
Prints a sample of the fonts available for your selected printer emulation.
| * Available only when the Adobe PostScript 3 ROM is installed. |
| ** Available only when an optional interface card is installed. |
Prints parameters in the internal network settings.
Prints list of print jobs stored in the printer's Hard Disk Drive that can be printed by using the Quick Print Job Menu.
Use this menu to select the printer emulation mode. You can specify different emulations for each interface; in other words, for each computer you connect the printer to. Since each emulation mode has its own specific options, make settings in the LJ4, ESCP2, FX, GL2, or I239X menus, as necessary. The values you can set are the same for every interface.

This menu allows you to make standard print settings, such as Paper Source and Page Size, even when printing from an application or operating system that does not support your printer driver. Be sure to use the printer driver to make these settings whenever you can, since settings made in the application software always override SelecType settings.
Most of the items in the Printing menu can be accessed directly through the OneTouch Modes. These items are listed on your printer's display panel beside the OneTouch Mode indicator lights. See Using the OneTouch Modes for more information.

When you select On, the RITech setting is turned on and you can produce smoother and crisper lines, text, and graphics.
| Note: |
| You can also make this setting directly from OneTouch Mode 2. |
When you select 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.
| Note: |
| You can also make this setting directly from OneTouch mode 2. |
You can adjust the print density to make your printout lighter (1) or darker (5).
| Note: |
| Increasing the print density increases toner consumption. If you select darker print, you may need to replace the Imaging Cartridge more often. |
Makes fine adjustments to the vertical printing position of the page.
| Caution: |
| Make sure that the printed image does not extend beyond the edge of the paper. Otherwise, you may damage the printer. |
Makes fine adjustments to the horizontal printing position of the page. This is useful for fine adjustments when using the manual feed mode.
| Caution: |

Adjusts the vertical printing position on the back side of the paper when printing on both sides. Use this if the printout on the back side is not where you expected. This item is available only when the optional Duplex Unit is installed.
Adjusts the horizontal printing position on the back side of the paper when printing on both sides. Use this if the printout on the back side is not where you expected. This item is available only when the optional Duplex Unit is installed.
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, and ignores Page Set errors and Check Page Size messages. This may cause smudges because of 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, Mem Overflow, or Can't Print Duplex. When this option is off, you must press the Continue 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 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. You will need to increase your printer's memory if memory errors continue to occur.
| Note: |
| This setting is activated after changing the Emulation mode or executing Reset All. |
When this mode is on, the quality of graphics is reduced. It reduces the amount of graphics data when the data reaches the memory limit, allowing complex documents to be printed.
Allows you to use various types of paper. This is useful for irregular size plain paper over 80g/m2 and envelopes. Always use Normal unless print quality problems occur.
This menu allows you to customize various printer modes, select an LCD panel display language, determine the total number of pages printed to date, and check the toner counter.

Sets the default font source.
Sets the default font number for the default font source. The available number depends on the settings you made.
Specifies the default font pitch if the font is scalable and of fixed-pitch. You can select from 0.44 to 99.99 cpi (characters per inch), in 0.01-cpi increments. This item may not appear depending on the Font Source or Font Number settings.
Specifies the default font height if the font is scalable and proportional. You can select from 4.00 to 999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments. This item may not appear depending on the Font Source or Font Number settings.
Selects the default symbol set. If the font you selected in Font Source and Font Number is not available in the new SymSet setting, the Font Source and the Font Number values are automatically replaced with the default value, IBM-US.
Selects the number of lines for the selected paper size and orientation. This also causes a line spacing (VMI) change, and the new VMI value is stored in the printer. This means that later changes in Page Size or Orientation settings cause changes in the Form value, based on the stored VMI.
Available only in certain locations where printers are sold with a special ROM module installed to handle specific languages.
When CR Function is set to CR, the printer does not perform a line feed (LF) command with each carriage return (CR). When set to CR+LF, the printer performs a line feed to each carriage return it receives. Select CR+LF for this item if you find lines of text are overlapping in your printout.
When LF Function is set to LF, the printer does not perform a carriage return (CR) command with each line feed (LF) or form feed (FF). When set to CR+LF, the printer performs a carriage return to each line feed or form feed it receives. Select CR+LF for this item if the printer does not print characters beyond the right margin.
Changes the assignment for the paper source select command. When 4 is selected, the commands are set as compatible with the HP LaserJet 4.

Sets the distance from the top of the page to the baseline of the first printable line. The distance is measured in inches.
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 the list of symbol sets.
Specifies whether the printer performs a carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation whenever the printer position goes beyond the right margin. If this setting is 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 set this option to Off, the printer does not send an automatic line-feed (LF) command with each carriage-return (CR). If this is set to On, a line-feed command is sent with each carriage-return. Set to 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 the BarCode setting, 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 is useful for distinguishing between an uppercase O and a numeric 0 when printing program listings, for example.
This menu allows you to make settings which affect the printer when it is in FX emulation mode.

Selects the font.
Selects the pitch (the horizontal spacing) of the font in fixed pitch, measured in cpi (characters per inch), or you can choose proportional spacing.
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 the list of symbol sets.
Specifies whether the printer performs a carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation whenever the printer position goes beyond the right margin. If this setting is 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 set this option to Off, the printer does not send an automatic line-feed (LF) command with each carriage return (CR). If this is set to On, a line-feed command is sent with each carriage return. Set to On if your text lines overlap.
