PCL Menu

This section describes the items on the [PCL Menu] tab under [Basic Configuration].

If Menu Protect is enabled, you must enter the password for printer settings to configure these settings.

Extend A4 Width

You can select whether or not to enlarge the print area of A4 size paper when printing a Letter sized document on A4 size paper.

The default setting is Inactive.

Tray Switching

You can select how the printer responds if the paper specified for a print job is not loaded in the specified paper tray.

If you select [On], the printer will feed from another tray that is loaded with the paper of the same size as the specified paper.

If you select [Off], the printer will stop printing and prompt the user to load paper of the required size in the tray.

The default setting is Off.

Auto Orientation (Portrait to Landscape)

You can select how the printer responds when the portrait orientation is specified for a job but the paper tray contains only sheets that are loaded in the landscape orientation.

If you select [Active], printer will rotate the print image by 90 degrees and print it in the landscape orientation.

If you select [Inactive], the printer will stop printing and prompt the user to change the orientation of the paper loaded in the tray.

This setting is effective only when the paper size is constant and the paper loaded in the tray is in the landscape orientation. When landscape is specified for a print job, the paper cannot be fed from a tray containing paper in the portrait orientation.

The default setting is Inactive.
