REPRINT Determines whether pages are reprinted after
a paper jam. When AUTO is selected and the
amount of RAM installed is below a printer-
specific threshold, pages are not reprinted
after a jam. If the amount of RAM installed is
more than this threshold, the pages are
reprinted. The ON setting causes the printer to
reprint the job after a paper jam. The OFF
setting disables reprinting.
AUTO, OFF, ON
RESOLUTION Print resolution in dots per inch. When a job is
sent, if there is not enough memory to run
with the current resolution and page
protection configuration, the system
temporarily overrides the resolution and/or
page-protect values to run the job. When the
resolution is changed, memory is reconfigured
and all downloaded fonts, PCL macros, and
PostScript dictionaries are lost (however, no
I/O data is lost). Refer to “Commands that
Affect Printer Memory” in Appendix A.
