PS Menu
Use the PS Menu to define the way the printer handles PostScript jobs. The
following table describes the settings you can change from the PS 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 PostScript print jobs (either by the print application or the
printer driver) override PS 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.
PS Menu Item
Value
Description
RESOLUTION
600*
1200
Specifies the print resolution for PostScript 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 PS 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.
PRINT ERRS
OFF*
ON
Specifies how the printer handles PostScript errors:
v OFF—the printer cancels the job, but does not print an
error page.
v ON—the printer prints an error page and cancels the job.
EDGE-EDGE
ON*
OFF
Turns edge-to-edge printing on or off.
v ON—The printer allows printing up to the physical page
size.
v OFF—the printer maintains a border of 4 mm (0.156 in)
on all four paper sides.
Note: IBM recommends leaving EDGE-EDGE set to ON
when you use IBM printer drivers. If you use non-IBM
printer drivers, you may need to set EDGE-EDGE to off to
prevent toner contamination in the printer.
