PCLXL Menu
Use the PCLXL Menu to define the way the printer handles PCL XL jobs. The
following table describes the settings you can change from the PCLXL Menu.
An asterisk (*) next to a value in the table indicates the factory default.
Notes:
1. To select a new value, press the Enter key when the value is displayed in
the message display area. An asterisk (*) appears next to the value in the
message display area, indicating that it is now active.
2. Values set in PCL XL print jobs (either by the print application or the
printer driver) override PCLXL Menu values you set at the printer.
3. If you are unfamiliar with using the operator panel to work with menus,
please read “Using the Operator Panel Keys” on page 22 and “Navigating
Menus” on page 23 before continuing.
PCLXL Menu Item
Value
Description
RESOLUTION
600*
1200
Specifies the print resolution for PCL XL jobs:
v 600—600 dpi resolution
v 1200—1200 dpi resolution
Notes:
1. 1200 dpi requires 64Mb or memory. If you have only
32Mb of memory, the RESOLUTION item does not
display on the PCLXL Menu.
2. 1200 dpi produces higher resolution; however, it may
cause the printer to print at slower speeds.
COPIES
nnn
Specifies how many copies of each job to print. nnn can be
from 1 to 999. 1 is the default.
EDGE-EDGE
OFF*
ON
Turns PCL XL edge-to-edge printing on or off.
v OFF—the printer maintains a border of 4 mm (0.156 in)
on all four paper sides.
v ON—The printer allows printing up to the physical page
size.
Note: To avoid toner contaminating the printer, IBM
recommends leaving EDGE-EDGE set to OFF; use ON only
when necessary.
