Nonvolatile memory
The product uses nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) to store product and user configuration
settings. The contents of NVRAM are retained when the product is turned off or disconnected.
PJL overview
The printer job language (PJL) is an integral part of configuration, in addition to the standard printer
command language (PCL). With standard cabling, the product can use PJL to perform a variety of functions:
●
Two-way communication with the host computer through a network connection or a USB connection.
The product can inform the host about the control panel settings that can be changed from the host.
●
Dynamic I/O switching. The product uses this switching to be configured with a host on each I/O. The
product can receive data from more than one I/O simultaneously, until the I/O buffer is full. This can
occur even when the product is offline.
●
Context-sensitive switching. The product can automatically recognize the personality (PS or PCL) of
each job and configure itself to serve that personality.
●
Isolation of print environment settings from one print job to the next. For example, if a print job is sent
to the product in landscape mode, the subsequent print jobs print in landscape mode only if they are
formatted for landscape printing.
PML
The printer management language (PML) allows remote configuration and status read-back through the I/O
ports.
Control panel
The control panel is an 20.3 cm (8 in) full-color SVGA (M680 model) or 10.9 cm (4.3 in) full-color SVGA (M651
model) with capacitive touchscreen and adjustable viewing angle. It includes an easy-access USB port for
walk-up printing and a hardware integration pocket for third-party USB devices such as card readers.
The control panel has a diagnostic mode to allow testing of the touchscreen, Home button, and speaker. The
control panel does not require calibration.
The M680z model has a QWERTY retractable keyboard beneath the control panel. The keys are mapped to a
specific language in the same way the virtual keyboard on the product control panel is mapped. Selecting a
different keyboard layout for the virtual keyboard remaps the keys on the physical keyboard to match the
new settings.
