PCL5 Menu Item
Value
Description
AUTO RESET
ON*
OFF
Specifies whether a PCL reset (reset of the PCL environment
and printing of any partial pages) occurs when the printer
processes a PCL job.
v ON*Reset always occurs when the printer processes a
PCL job. All PCL settings, such as orientation and paper
source, will be reset to the current default values.
Downloaded fonts that have NOT been designated as
permanent will also be lost. Partial pages, such as the
last page of a job sent without an end-of-forms command,
will be ejected. The default of ON is recommended for
most situations.
v OFFThe above resets will NOT occur when the printer
processes consecutive PCL jobs before a port timeout.
This allows compatibility with applications designed for
HP printers with this behavior. It is not recommended for
users printing with Infoprint 21 drivers.
Notes:
1. When a port timeout occurs, or the printer switches
ports, the PCL settings will be lost, regardless of the
AUTO RESET value.
2. AUTO RESET is NOT relevant to data stream switching.
If the printer switches data streams before the timeout,
the PCL settings will not be saved.
