Emulation configuration

USING THE 4213 MENUS

The 4213 laser printer emulates the Xerox Escape Sequence mode and the HP Laserjet series IID (LJ2D) printers. Optional emulations are available for the 4213 laser printer. Refer to appendix A, “Options for the 4213,” for information on configuring the optional emulations.

The emulation submenus allow you to change options in each emulation.

There are two types of emulation configuration changes which can be done:

• Permanent settings remain unchanged even through a power

off/on cycle.

• Temporary settings remain current until the setting is

changed at this submenu, a software command is received, or the printer is switched off.

Notes

• Any additional emulations installed appear as option

emulations at the Main Menu.

• The options you select as defaults apply to the selected

emulation only. To change the options for an emulation, first display the emulation heading at the Main Menu, step through the options and select the options you want as the defaults for the emulation. Then save the emulation configuration at the Reset Menu.

• Each printer is shipped with factory default emulation

configurations. Factory defaults refer to the emulation configurations in place when you receive your printer. You have the choice, however, to set your own user defaults in order to configure each emulation to operate within your unique office environment. If your software sends MCK commands to the printer for you, you can leave the emulation settings at their factory defaults. Your software overrides the menu configurations you set.

Changing the XES emulation configuration at the Main Menu

The submenus in the emulation list configuration options for the resident emulations. All of the printer emulations may be selected through the Main Menu and then set up individually to conform to your printing needs.

XES emulation items

USING THE 4213 MENUS

The following section describes the XES emulation menu items and their corresponding options.

Note: Below each description of the emulation submenu item is an example of the message display with the factory default for the item written in boldface type followed by an asterisk. The options for each menu item are listed in parentheses following the example of the message display. In the following example, disabled is the factory default for 2-sided print mode:

2-SIDED DISABLED* (DISABLED, BOOK BINDING, or PAD BINDING)

An asterisk does not appear for numeric entries, such as, the COPIES, FONT SELECT, or OVERRIDE FORMAT MARGINS.

Number of Copies

The Number of Copies menu item selects the number of copies for each page printed. When you want more than one copy printed, use this menu to select the number of copies required. This would normally be a temporary change, and not saved to memory.

Note: The printer does not collate the copies. The Number of Copies menu item options are listed below as

they appear on the message display:

COPIES 01 (01 to 99)

Note: Most application software automatically sends a reset printer command before the start of each job. Resetting the printer clears the memory of the printer and makes sure that the number of copies is set to the previously saved default, usually one.

Tray Sequence

The Tray Sequence menu item allows you to switch automatically to another tray when the active tray is empty. The Tray Sequence menu item selects the order in which trays are used as the paper source. For example:

• Single tray selection: Paper is fed from one tray only.

XEROX 4213 LASER PRINTER USER GUIDE 3-23

USING THE 4213 MENUS

• Two-tray sequence selection: Paper is fed from the first tray.

When the first tray is empty, paper is fed from the second tray. Paper is fed from the second tray only until the first tray is refilled or replaced, then it feeds again from the first tray.

• Three-tray sequence selection: Paper is fed from the first

tray. When the first tray is empty, paper is fed from the second tray. The second tray is the feed tray until the first tray is refilled or replaced. The third tray is the feed tray only if the first and second trays are empty or out of the printer.

If you select a multiple tray sequence, you should have the same paper size trays and the same paper size and type installed in the selected paper trays. The printer will switch to the other paper tray when the first tray is empty.

The options in the Tray Sequence menu are listed below as they appear on the message display:

TRAY SEQ TRAY 1* (TRAY 1, TRAY 2, HCF, TRAY 1-2, HCF-TRAY 1,

HCF-TRAY 2, HCF-TRAY 1-2 or BYPASS)

Note: HCF refers to the optional High Capacity Feeder. Under Tray Sequence mode, HCF, HCF-Tray 1, HCF-Tray 2, and HCFTray 1-2 are not displayed if HCF is not installed as an option.

2-sided Print Mode

The 2-Sided Print Mode menu item, when enabled, allows you to select the page format for 2-sided printing.

The guidelines governing book binding are:

• Portrait orientation, with space provided on the left side,

long edge of page 1 and the right side, long edge of page 2 (front and back of the same page) to allow for binding.

• Landscape orientation, with space provided on the left side,

Font Number Selection

The menu item in the Font Number Selection allows you to select any font on the XES font status sheet.

The font number is part of the font code listed on the font status sheet for the current emulation. The font numbers listed on the status sheet are assigned by the printer.

These font numbers may change each time:

• A different font cartridge is installed

• Downloaded fonts are loaded or deleted

Note:

Font assignment numbers on downloaded fonts may or

may not be consecutive. The numbers are only meant to be identifiers and a gap does not imply anything is missing.

The options in the Font Number Selection menu are listed below as they appear on the message display:

FONT SELECT 003 (001 to 512)

Data Encoding

The Data Encoding menu item selects the XES data set to match the character codes generated by your host computer.

If you have no downloaded fonts, (fonts would be lost with this procedure) follow these steps:

1. Change the encoding menu item.

2.. Save the defaults (stay off line).

3. Power the printer off then back on again.

If you have downloaded fonts, follow these steps:

1. Change the encoding menu item.

2. Save the defaults (stay off line).

3. Recall the user defaults.

Page Buffers

The following items in the Page Buffer menu determine if partial or full buffers are used for page assembly:

• PARTIAL - Band buffers used in 2 pieces or bands of 32 scan

lines alternately built and imaged during page imaging. Partial buffer requires less memory and produces the fastest output. Partial buffer is the most efficient mode for most print jobs and requires no added or optional memory.

• 1 FULL - One full page buffer guarantees imaging for 1-sided

printing because complete assembly of the image in memory is done before imaging and printing begins. This mode reduces the possibility of complex errors and have some impact on the speed performance of the printer. A full buffer requires 1.1 MB of memory. Page sizes involve:

— 8 x 10 — Executive — 215 x 275 — Letter —A4

3-28 XEROX 4213 LASER PRINTER USER GUIDE

USING THE 4213 MENUS

• 2 FULL - Two full page buffers guarantee imaging for 2-sided

printing because complete assembly of the image in memory is done before imaging and printing begins. Two full buffers require 2.2 MB of memory. Page sizes involve (2 pages each):

— 8 x 10 — Executive — 215 x 275 — Letter —A4

• 1 FULL LONG - One full long page buffer guarantees imaging

for 1-sided printing because complete assembly of the image in memory is done before imaging and printing begins. This mode reduces the risk of complexity errors at the possible cost in speed of printing. A full long buffer requires 1.4 MB of memory. Page sizes involve:

— 215 x 315 — 210 x 330 — 8 x 13 — 8.5 x 13 — Legal

• 2 FULL LONG - Two full long page buffers guarantee imaging

for 2-sided printing because complete assembly of the image in memory is done before imaging and printing begins. Two full long buffers require 2.8 MB of memory. Page sizes involve (2 pages each):

Font Number Selection

The Font Number Selection allows you to select any font on the LJ2D font status sheet.

The font number is part of the font code listed on the font status sheet for the current emulation. The font numbers listed on the status sheet are assigned by the printer.

These font numbers may change:

• Each time a different font cartridge is installed.

• Downloaded fonts are loaded.

Note:

Font assignment numbers on downloaded fonts may or

may not be consecutive. The numbers are only meant to be identifiers and a gap does not imply anything is missing.

Paper Size

The image sent to the printer is placed on the page, according to the size of the paper being fed.

You can change the paper size to another standard paper or envelope size in one of three ways:

• If your application software allows you to select one of the

standard page or envelope sizes listed in table 3-1, the selected paper size command is automatically sent to the printer and the image is placed in the correct location on the page.

• If your application software does not allow you to

automatically select the standard paper or envelope size, you can send a paper size printer command to let the printer know what paper size to expect. Refer to the 4213 Laser Printer Programmer Reference for information on the LJ2D paper size printer command.

• If your application software does not allow you to

automatically select one of the standard paper or envelope size, you can select one of the sizes listed in table 3-1 at this menu.

The Paper Size menu item options are listed below as they appear on the message display:

PAPER SIZE LETTER* (LETTER, LEGAL, EXEC, A4, COMM 10, MONARCH,

Test Menu

Test Menu map

The Test Menu is used to manually print the following:

• Configuration Sheet

• Font Status Sheet.

The Test Menu is also used to start and stop data monitor mode. Note: The Test Menu allows you to print a Configuration Sheet

or Font Status Sheet. Unlike the Main Menu or the Reset Menu, a selection of a function from Test Menu can cause paper to start moving. In the event of printing in the Test Menu, a fault such as open door, tray empty, tray missing, and so forth, causes an exit from the Test Menu into Off line mode. This allows the error messages to be displayed. Also the mimic and alarm becomes active. The LED indicator, however, tells you of the machine status while in all menus.

B When the printer is off line, immediately pressing the Test button

displays the 4213 Test Menu. This menu has two options which cause either a configuration sheet or a font status sheet to print. The last two options start and stop the data monitor mode.
