Using the Control Panel 62 Time to Sleep
Specifies the length of time until the printer enters the sleep mode if there are no button operations.
Time Out
Specifies the length of the time, in seconds, before a time out when interfaces are being switched automatically. The time before a time out occurs is the length of time from the point when no data is being received from an interface until the point of switching the interface. If the printer has a print job when switching the interface, the printer prints the print job.
Paper Source
Specifies whether paper feeds into the printer from the MP tray, the standard paper cassette, or the optional paper cassette unit.
If you select Auto, paper feeds from the paper source containing paper that matches your Paper Size setting.
If an envelope size (C5) is selected as the Page Size setting, paper always feeds from the MP tray.
Out Bin
Specifies the output tray when the optional Stacker is installed.
Stacker
Specifies whether or not to output the paper to the face-down tray when the Stacker is full.
MP Mode
This setting determines whether the MP tray has the highest or lowest priority when Auto is selected as the Paper Source setting in the printer driver. When Normal is selected as the MP Mode, the MP tray has the highest priority as the paper source. If you select Last, the MP tray has the lowest priority.
Manual Feed
Allows you to select the manual feed mode for the MP tray.
Copies
Designates the number of copies to be printed, from 1 through 999.
Using the Control Panel 63 Duplex
Turns duplex printing on or off. This allows you to print on both sides of a page.
Binding
Specifies the binding direction of the printout.
Start Page
Specifies whether printing starts from the front or back of the page.
Offset Stacking
Specifies whether or not to separate print jobs by shifting the output to the left and then to the right.
Paper Type
Specifies the type of paper to be used for printing. The printer adjusts the printing speed according to this setting. The printing speed is reduced when Thick, Extra Thk, or Transparency is selected.
Skip Blank Page
Enables you to skip blank pages when printing. This setting is available when you print in the ESC/Page, ESCP2, FX, or I239X mode.
Auto Eject Page
Specifies whether or not to eject paper when the limit specified in the Time Out setting is reached.
The default is Off, which means paper is not ejected when the time-out limit is reached.
Size Ignore
If you want to ignore a paper size error, select On. When you turn this item on, the printer keeps printing even if the image size exceeds the printable area for the specified paper size. This may cause smudges because of the toner that is not transferred onto the paper properly. When this item is turned off, the printer stops printing if a paper size error occurs.
Auto Cont
When you turn this setting on, the printer automatically continues printing after a certain period of time when one of the following errors occurs: Paper Set, Print Overrun, or Mem Overflow. When this option is off, you must press the Start/Stop button to resume printing.
Using the Control Panel 64 Page Protect
Allocates additional printer memory for printing data, as opposed to receiving it. You may need to turn this setting on if you are printing a very complex page. If a Print Overrun error message appears on the LCD panel during printing, turn this setting on and reprint your data. This reduces the amount of memory reserved for processing data so your computer may take longer to send the print job, but it will allow you to print complex jobs. Page Protect usually works best when Auto is selected. You will need to increase your printer’s memory if memory errors continue to occur.
Note:
Changing the Page Protect setting reconfigures the printer’s memory, which causes any downloaded fonts to be deleted.
Toner Alert
Specifies whether or not to display the alert when the imaging cartridge is near the end of its service life.
If you select Set, the alert is displayed when the imaging cartridge is near the end of its service life.
Printing can be continued by pressing Start/Stop button.
If you select Skip, printing continues even if the imaging cartridge is near the end of its service life.
LCD Contrast
Adjusts the contrast of the LCD panel. Use the uUp and dDown buttons to set the contrast between 0 (lowest contrast) and 15 (highest contrast.)

Specifies the RAM disk size available for the Reserve Job function. See the table below for details.
