Code Page			500 Intl 5 to 1149 Iceland			default code page
CP Version			Version 0, Version 1			Some of the code pages available for the printer are in two versions. Code Page Version allows selection of the version that best fits the application. If characters such as ƒ, =, ÷, x, or © do not print properly, try the other code page version.
Page Format			Whole Page			any characters positioned in the unprintable area will result in missing characters or missing lines of text
			Print Page 1			does not allow more data to be placed in the printable area, but it moves the data down and to the right on the page used when the application has not moved data out of the unprintable area by using suitable margins
			Print Page 2			space between lines generated by Begin Line IPDS commands is reduced
			Print Page 3			space between lines generated by Begin Line and vertical text cursor positioning IPDS commands is reduced
VPA Check			Off, On			used to verify the valid printable area to the host. When set to On, checks are detected when cursor position exceeds printable area as determined by the Margins to System setting above. When set to OFF, no IPDS position check will be detected
Overlay Cache			Off, On			When set to On, the first transmission of an IPDS overlay from the host is translated to a PCL5 macro and stored within the printer memory for future reference. This eliminates the need of conversion for each occurrence resulting in faster printing. However, use of this option significantly reduces available printer memory.
Margins to Sys			Off, On			used to notify the host of the printable area of the printer. When set to On, the IPDS printable area will reflect PCL5 printable area. When set to Off, IPDS printable area report will match 4028 response.
3812 Font Supp			Off, On			enable 3812 font set
Job Sensing			Off, On			senses end of job enable when using offset, staple and hole punch
Landscape Adjust			None, Reverse			rotates IPDS landscape pages 180 ° enable when using staple and hole puch
Print Area			Normal, Expanded			normal = 1/4 " unprintable edge expanded = edge-to-edge
Print Complete			Normal, Early			when does printer report job complete? normal = when last page delivered to output early = when last page is processed (improves throughput)
Memory (MB)			1 to 16 2			partitions memory for IPDS jobs
