Font Caching
To ensure hi-speed printing, outline fonts of up to a certain size are cached. Outline fonts are
converted into bitmap data temporarily and then printed. To minimize this processing time,
the processed bitmap data is saved in the memory. This process is called font caching.
The saved bitmap data is deleted when you turn the machine off or reset it. For the PCL
emulation mode, data other than that being processed is not saved.
Output Feature
This section describes the machine's output feature. The following two output features are
available:
z
Outputting a Pending Print Job
z
Forcible Output in Emulation Mode
Outputting a Pending Print Job
The printing of jobs already received by the machine can be prioritized over other jobs.
For information on prioritizing the printing of jobs already received by the machine, refer to "11 Job Status" > "Printing
Pending Jobs" in the User Guide.
Forcible Output in Emulation Mode
In emulation mode, data is not output until one complete page of data is prepared or the
page break command is received. For a USB interface, if printing ends in the middle of a
page, the next data set waits until the time set with [Auto Eject Time] elapses.
In this case, the Forcible Printing feature does not wait for the auto eject time; however,
forcibly prints the data within the machine.
For more information on forcible printing, refer to "11 Job Status" in the User Guide.
For more information on the auto eject time, refer to "Auto Eject Time" (P.197).
