Available font cache
The driver automatically adjusts the font cache size based on
installed memory. Increase this amount for better
performance of Type 32 bitmap fonts.
Installable options
Use this area to change the settings to match the printer’s
hardware setup when you add options to the printer,
including Tray 2, or more RAM memory.

These are general descriptions of settings available in the
PCL5e printer drivers. The interface of the printer driver
depends on the operating system you use. Not all settings are
available for all drivers, or they may appear on different tabs
in the printer driver. All printer drivers have Online Help
available at the click of a button, with more information
about specific settings. Chapter 4, “Printer Drivers,” shows
the PCL5e printer drivers and explains how to use them.
Resolution
Print resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch
(dpi) in an image. The higher the number is, the finer the
resolution. Resolution can be set to 600 (the default), 300, 150,
and 75 dpi
. Lower resolutions require less memory and
processing time.
Dithering
Select a dithering pattern for converting images from one
format to another, for example, for printing color documents
in black and white. Dithering, along with the intensity and
resolution settings, effect the overall appearance of graphics
in printed documents.
Halftone Color Adjustment
In the Windows NT driver this is an advanced feature for
controlling how color appears in a document and is
converted to monochrome when printed.
Intensity
Adjust this setting to control the darkness of graphics in the
printed document.
Reserved printer memory
Specify how much memory to reserve for special printer
functions, such as macros, Operator Panel settings, etc. The
reserved memory is not used for printing.
Printer memory tracking
Before printing a document, the printer driver calculates how
much memory is required to print. If the document requires
more memory than is available in the printer, the document
is rejected. Use this setting to define how this calculation is
made. A conservative calculation ensures that printer
memory is never over-committed. A more aggressive
calculation allows the printer to attempt printing a complex
document, but memory may be over-exceeded and the print
job may not be completed.
Printer Memory
This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the
SuperScript 4600N printer and does not need to be adjusted.
Cartridges
This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the
SuperScript 4600N printer and does not need to be adjusted.
