[. . . ] (Factory setting) ERROR PRINT=ON ERROR PRINT=OFF 4­44 CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL CONTINUE MODE If any recoverable error occurs, including "Toner Empty, " it can be cleared with the Continue button. You need not press the Continue button. CONTINUE=MANUAL CONTINUE=AUTO SCALABLE FONT Note The setting in this mode menu is effective only in the HP PCL5C mode. Since this printer has many scalable fonts, some application programs may not be able to handle them correctly. When the HP PCL5C emulation mode has been selected, the printer may print a different font rather than the font you have selected with your program or a font selection command. To cope with this font problem, you can restrict the font selection by using this setting as follows: Display Message Scalable Font All scalable fonts for this printer can be selected with the font selection command. (Factory setting) Scalable fonts for this printer other than the following can be selected with the font selection command: Atlanta, Bermuda Script, PC Brussels, Copenhagen, Germany, Portugal, Calgary, San Diego, and US Roman. FONT=ALL FONT=LJ Even if you restrict the font selection as above, you can select among all the scalable fonts with the Font button. The setting in this mode menu merely restricts the font selection command from an application to avoid incorrect font selections. 4­45 USER'S GUIDE INPUT BUFFER You can increase or decrease the capacity of the input buffer with the v or w button in this mode menu. A larger capacity allows the printer to receive data from the computer faster. Note If the printer reports a memory full error, reduce the capacity of the input buffer. Display Message ttttttttttttttt tttttttttttttt : : tt t Input Buffer The more squares, the larger the capacity of the input buffer. The squares indicate the capacity but not the size in Mbytes since this depends on the total memory installed in the printer. (Factory setting =ttttt) After you change the input buffer capacity (make sure you press the Set button), be sure to turn off the printer and then turn it on again. Notes · The set capacity is not changed even if the emulation mode is changed. · The actual capacity of the input buffer varies according to the installed RAM. If the RAM capacity is small, the input buffer capacity may not be increased.

Since more than one set of user settings can be stored in the printer's memory, you can easily reset the printer to your preferred settings after they are changed. For resetting the printer, see "RESET Button" in this chapter. Use the control panel to set the configuration of the printer to meet your needs and then enter this mode menu to save your settings. Two sets of user settings can be saved in the printer as follows: Display Message User Setting Save the current settings as No. 2 in the printer's memory. SAVE SETTING 1 SAVE SETTING 2 If you want to check the user settings, you can print a list of the settings with the Test button.
