o To Select Mailbox Mode


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Mailbox Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Mailbox Mode

The Mailbox Mode specifies the mode of operation of the multibin mailbox, if
available on your printer. You have three options:

Mailbox           Users select individual mailboxes as a destination for their
                  print jobs from their printer drivers. Mailboxes can be
                  specified for an individual, group, or department. This gives
                  users the greatest control over where their print jobs will
                  go.

Stacker           Print jobs are stacked on top of each other, starting in the
                  bottom bin. Jobs should be removed from the top down, so the
                  printer can correctly position the top of the stack.

Job Separator     Each new print job goes to the next non-full bin. If all bins
                  are full, the printer starts over at the top bin. This mode
                  is most useful in environments where users print jobs and
                  pick them up relatively quickly, and where there is not a
                  high accumulation of print jobs.

In all cases, if the print job is too large to fit in one bin, the printer will
continue printing to the overflow bin after the job output auto continue
timeout has expired. By default, the overflow bin is the face down output bin
at the top of the printer.

Note:  This mode can be modified only by the network administrator.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Selecting Mailbox Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Image Adapt ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Image Adapt

The Image Adapt function compresses data to print complete graphics images at
300 dpi using the printer's base memory. This compression is applied only to
the most complex pages and may produce a small loss of graphic detail. Without
Image Adapt, the printer prints as much of the image as possible without losing
any detail. However, part of the image may be cut off.

When you turn your printer on, Image Adapt is set to Automatic. You can only
change this setting to ON or OFF after the printer has encountered a problem
printing a graphic. At that time, you can indicate if you want to use the Image
Adapt function to compensate.

Note:  This feature is not available on all printers.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> To Select Image Adapt ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Resource Saving ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Resource Saving

Resource saving prevents the loss of permanent resources such as fonts, macros,
and PostScript dictionaries when changes in the status of printer language,
page protection, or printer resolution occur.

With resource saving enabled, your printer reserves a portion of memory for
each personality installed. Without resource saving, all memory is dedicated to
the current personality. When the personality is switched, the resources
associated with the old personality are deleted.

When a second personality, such as PostScript, is installed and there is
sufficient memory, Resource Saving automatically becomes available. By default
the printer automatically allocates resources to each printer personality,
depending on the amount of memory each personality requires.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> To Select Resource Saving ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Page Protection ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Page Protection

Page protection helps prevent Print Overrun errors when formatting dense or
complex images. If the printer has enough memory, this function creates only
one complete page in the printer memory at a time. The printer prints the page
from memory and the next page is created.

Because Page Protection affects printer performance, you should not leave it
ON, but only use it when you receive Print Overrun errors.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> To Select Page Protection ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To Select Page Protection

 1. From the HP Remote Control Panel, click the Resources tab.

 2. Click the down arrow in the Page Protection field.

   o To send the current job to the printer one page at a time, click ON.

   o To send a job to the printer one page at a time only if printed on a
     specific paper size, click the appropriate paper size.

   o To allow the printer to determine if a job needs page protection, click
     Auto.  This feature reserves printer memory.

     Note:  If you are using PostScript, the Auto feature is not recognized and
     you must specify the appropriate page size.

   o To send entire print jobs to the printer, click OFF under Page Protection.

    Note:  Page Protection reduces printer performance and should not be left
    selected.

 4. Click OK.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> I/O Buffering ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

I/O Buffering

I/O Buffering reserves a portion of printer memory to hold jobs in progress. In
most cases, it is to your advantage to use I/O Buffering because it decreases
the send time needed by a computer to print a job and quickly frees computer
memory. As a result, users can resume work more rapidly after printing.

With this feature enabled, 100 KBytes, for each MByte of memory you add to the
printer, is automatically reserved to hold print jobs in progress.

Note:  When you change the I/O Buffering setting, all downloaded resources are
deleted.
