Setup guide

The Resolution/Graphics Enhancement Option provides an edge enhancement
technology that improves overall print quality for the built-in resolutions of
300 x 300, 600 x 300, and 600 x 600 dpi. When this feature is enabled, your
printer smooths imaged text and graphics, reducing visible jagged edges.
When the option is installed, the Enhancement feature appears in both the
PostScript and PCL sub-menus. Use this feature to control whether the printer
applies edge enhancement to your PostScript or PCL print jobs. By default,
the printer does not apply edge enhancement to your print jobs. You can also
use PostScript or PJL commands from your host application or printer driver
to control this feature.
The Resolution/Graphics Enhancement Option also provides a resolution
doubling technology that provides two high-resolution settings that improve
your document’s overall appearance: 1200 x 600 dpi and 1200 x 1200 dpi.
When you select a higher resolution, the printer generates a larger bitmap that
is then analyzed and reproduced faithfully within the constraints of the 600
dpi print engine. The higher resolution also provides a wider range of gray
levels, improving the appearance of graphics and images.
When the option is installed, the two new resolution settings appear in the
Resolution feature in the PostScript and PCL sub-menus. To choose a higher
resolution, use this feature or use PostScript or PJL commands from your host
application or printer driver. Using a higher resolution will require additional
memory if you need to use the Page protect feature.
Determining memory requirements for high resolution printing
Table 7-1 of the User’s Guide gives incorrect information on the minimum
memory requirements to support a resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi in certain
configurations. The following information replaces part of Table 7-1:
Page Size Resolution
Page Protection
Enabled Jam Recovery Enabled
Letter or A4 1200 20 MB 55 MB
Legal 1200 27 MB 47 MB

1
To ensure full engine speed with page protection and jam recovery enabled, additional memory
to store three page images in RAM is necessary. The DEClaser 5100 memory can be upgraded to
support only two Legal size page images at 1200 x 1200 dpi. The number shown is the minimum
amount of memory necessary to obtain maximum throughput with this configuration.
