    Available printer memory (in KB)
    Specify the amount of available printer memory. If the entered 
    value does not match the actual amount of memory on the printer 
    and printing problems occur, change the setting.
    Available font cache (in KB)
    Displays the amount of font cache memory available to Type 32 
    fonts. The printer driver automatically adjusts the font cache size 
    according the memory setting specified under Installable options.

    appearance of printed lines, text, and graphics. The options are 
    On and Off.

    the Toner Save Mode is turned on, the printer uses about 50% less 
    toner than normal. The options are On and Off.
    Image Protect
    This setting enables you to specify whether to use lossy 
    compression when memory runs low during printing. The 
    options are On and Off. When Image Protect is set to On, lossy 
    compression is not used. If it is set to Off, lossy compression is 
    used when memory resources are too low.

    Installable options
    The settings available under Installable options enable you to 
    specify whether certain options are installed into the printer, and 
    if so, what they are. Use the Change setting for drop-down list to 
    specify the details of the options installed.
    Restore Defaults
    Click this button to reset the settings on this sheet to their default 
    values.
    PostScript tab settings
    PostScript output format
    Specify the format for PostScript files. The options are PostScript 
    (optimize for speed), PostScript (optimize for portability-ADSC), 
    Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), and Archive format. See online 
    help for details on each of these formats.
    PostScript header
    This setting enables you to specify how header information is sent 
    to the printer. The options are Download header with each print 
    job and Assume header is downloaded and retained.
    Send Header Now
    Click this button to send the PostScript header information to the 
    printer immediately. This button is available only when the 
    Download header with each print job radio button is selected. If 
    you click the Send Header Now button and then click OK, the 
    Assume header is downloaded and retained radio button is 
    automatically selected.
    Print PostScript error information
    Select this check box to have the printer automatically print out a 
    page with PostScript error messages when an error occurs in the 
    print job. Turn this option on if you are having printing problems.
     
    						
    							100Using the PostScript Printer Software (Windows) Job timeout
    Specify the maximum number of seconds that can elapse for a 
    print job to get from the computer to the printer before the printer 
    stops trying to print the document. If you enter “0” (zero), the 
    printer will continue trying to print indefinitely.
    Wait timeout
    Specify the maximum number of seconds that the printer will wait 
    to get more PostScript information from the computer before the 
    print job is automatically canceled. After the specified time 
    elapses, the printer will stop trying to print the document and 
    prints an error message instead. If you enter “0” (zero), the printer 
    will wait indefinitely.You may want to increase this value when 
    printing complicated documents.
    This setting enables you to prevent the printer from stalling if and 
    when the computer that sends the print job stalls.
    Advanced
    Click this button to specify the following advanced PostScript 
    options:
    PostScript language level
    Specify the PostScript language level to use. Select the highest 
    PostScript language level that your printer supports to optimize 
    its features. Use a lower PostScript language level only if you are 
    experiencing printing problems or if you intend to print the file 
    using another printer.
    Data format
    Select the data format to use. The options are ASCII data and 
    Tagged binary communications protocol. You cannot use Binary 
    communications protocol nor Pure binary data, although they 
    may appear as options.
    If ASCII data is selected, print data is sent in the ASCII (7-bit) 
    format, which may take longer to print, but which can be sent 
    through any I/O channel, including serial, parallel, and Ethernet.

    If you select Tagged binary communications protocol, all data 
    except for special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. 
    The binary format can be sent over parallel or serial 
    communications ports and are faster then sending data in the 
    ASCII format. The Pure binary data setting sends all data in pure 
    binary format, which is the fastest format to print in, but that can 
    be sent only over AppleTalk.
    Send CTRL+D before job
    Select this check box to specify for the CTRL+D character to be 
    sent at the beginning of every PostScript document. CTRL+D at 
    the beginning-of-file (BOF) will reset your printer to its default 
    settings to ensure that prior print jobs will not affect the current 
    print job. However, activating this setting may cause the print job 
    to fail if it is connected through a network instead of the parallel 
    or serial interface.
    Send CTRL+D after job
    Select this check box to specify for the CTRL+D character to be 
    sent at the end of every PostScript document. CTRL+D at the 
    end-of-file (EOF) will reset your printer to its default settings to 
    ensure that the current print job will not affect future print jobs. 
    However, activating this setting may cause the print job to fail if 
    it is connected through a network instead of the parallel or serial 
    interface.
    Display alert for applications incompatible with driver features
    Select this check box if you want the printer driver to display 
    messages to alert you to incompatibilities between the printer’s 
    features and those of the application that you are using to print.
