Personality

Return to Overview


Auto*, PS, PCL


An asterisk (*) indicates the default setting in this section.

This setting enables the machine to process data received from the host computer in the specified data format.

The machine can distinguish between computer-sent control commands and Direct Print data and automatically switch personalities. However, in instances such as where received control commands are exclusively defined or the machine does not automatically switch to the appropriate personality, please set this setting to match received data. The machine enables you to switch the personality and set specifications for printing using the menu functions on the display.

Setting <Personality> to <Auto> makes the machine determine the type of data received from the host on a job-by-job basis. If you are printing from applications on a computer, we recommend that you use the <Auto> setting.


Remark
  • This setting is available only when both PS and PCL printing functions are activated.
  • If you find that the machine does not correctly switch to the appropriate personality when <Personality> is set to <Auto>, change the setting manually to match the data you are sending from the host computer.
  • This function is not available when printing in the UFR II mode.
