	bit 1	If a paper size or type mismatch occurs during the printing of multiple copies, only a single copy is output by default. Using this BitSwitch, the device can be configured to print all copies even if a paper mismatch occurs.
	bit 2	Prevent SDK applications from altering the contents of a job.	Disabled	Enabled
	bit 2	If this BitSwitch is enabled, SDK applications will not be able to alter print data. This is achieved by preventing SDK applications from accessing a module called the "GPS Filter". Note: The main purpose of this BitSwitch is for troubleshooting the effects of SDK applications on data.
	bit 3	[PS] PS Criteria	Pattern3	Pattern1
	bit 3	Change the number of PS criterion used by the PS interpereter to determine whether a job is PS data or not. For details, refer to Printing Features . Pattern3: The larger the pattern number, the greater the number of criterion used. Pattern1: A small number of PS tags and headers
	bit 4	Increase max. number of stored jobs.	Disabled (100)	Enabled
	bit 4	Changes the maximum number of jobs that can be stored on the HDD. The default (disabled) is 100. If this is enabled, the max. will be raised to 750 or 1000 depending on the model.

	bit 0	To be used if PDL auto-detection fails. A failure of PDL autodetection does not necessarily mean that the job can't be printed. This bit switch tells the device whether to time-out immediately (default) upon failure or to wait 10 seconds.
	bit 1	Not used	-	-
	bit 2	Job Cancel	Disabled (Not cancelld)	Enabled (Cancelled)
	bit 2	If this bit switch, all jobs will be cancelled after a jam occurs. Note: If this BitSwitch is enabled, printing under the following conditions might result in problems: - Job submission via USB or Parallel Port - Spool printing (WIM >Configuration > Device Settings > System)
	bit 3	Not used	-	-
	bit 4	Timing of the PJL Status ReadBack (JOB END) when printing multiple collated copies.	Disabled	Enabled
	bit 4	This BitSwitch determines the timing of the PJL USTATUS JOB END sent when multiple collated copies are being printed. 0 (default): JOB END is sent by the device to the client after the first copy has completed printing. This causes the page counter to be incremented after the first copy and then again at the end of the job. 1: JOB END is sent by the device to the client after the last copy has finished printing. This causes the page counter to be incremented at the end of each job.
	bit 5	Display UTF-8 text in the operation panel	Enabled	Disabled
	bit 5	Enabled (=0): Text composed of UTF-8 characters can be displayed in the operation panel. Disabled (=1): UTF-8 characters cannot be displayed in the operation panel. For example, job names are sometimes stored in the MIB using UTF-8 encoded characters. When these are displayed on the operation panel, they will be garbled unless this BitSwitch is enabled (=0).
	bit 6	Disable super option	Disabled	Enabled
	bit 6	Switches super option disable on / off. It this is On, multiple jobs are grouped at LPR port. PJL settings are enabled even jobs that are specified queue names are sent.
	bit 7	Enable/Disable Print from USB/SD's Preview function	Enabled	Disabled
	bit 7	Determines whether Print from USB/SD will have the Preview function. (MP 501/601 Only) Enabled (=0): Print from USB/SD will have the Preview function. Disabled (=1): Print from USB/SD will not have the Preview function.

	bit 0 to 4	DFU	-	-
	bit 5	Store and Skip Errored Job locks the queue	Queue is not locked after SSEJ	Queue locked after SSEJ
	bit 5	If this is 1, then after a job is stored using Store and Skip Errored Job (SSEJ), new jobs cannot be added to the queue until the stored job has been completely printed. (MP 501/601 Only)
	bit 6	Allow use of Store and Skip Errored Job if connected to an external charge device.	Does not allow SSEJ with ECD	Allows SSEJ with ECD
	bit 6	If this is 0, Store and Skip Errored Job (SSEJ) will be automatically disabled if an external charge device is connected. (MP 501/601 Only) Note: We do not officially support enabling this bit switch (1). Use it at your own risk.
	bit 7	Job cancels remaining pages when the paid-for pages have been printed on an external charge device	Job does not cancel	Job cancels
	bit 7	When setting 1 is enabled, after printing the paid-for pages on an external charge device, the job that includes any remaining pages will be canceled. This setting will prevent the next user from printing the unnecessary pages from the previous user's print job. (MP 501/601 Only)

1001	Bit Switch
011	Bit Switch B		0	1
	bit 0	Show Menu List	Hide Menu List	Show Menu List
	bit 0	If this is 0, the Menu List button will be removed from Printer Features. (MP 501/601 Only)
	bit 1	Print job interruption	Does not allow interruption	Allow interruption
	bit 1	0 (default): Print jobs are not interrupted. If a job is promoted to the top of the print queue, it will wait for the currently printing job to finish. 1: If a job is promoted to the top of the queue, it will interrupt the currently printing job and start printing immediately.
	bit 2	Switch for enabling or disabling Limitless Paper Feeding for the Bypass Tray	Enabled	Disabled
	bit 2	When the Bypass Tray is the target of the Auto Tray Select and Any Size/Type is configured for the Tray Setting Priority setting of the Bypass Tray, this BitSwitch can switch the behavior whether or not Limitless Paper Feeding is applied to the Bypass Tray.* The default is Enabled (=0). *Limitless Paper Feeding will try a matching tray of the next highest priority if a job specified to Auto Tray Select as the tray setting is submitted and the tray runs out of paper. Enabled (=0: Default): Limitless Paper Feeding is applied to the Bypass Tray. If a tray other than the Bypass Tray matches the job's paper size and type but has run out of paper, printing will occur from the Bypass Tray. Disabled (=1): Limitless Paper Feeding is not applied to the Bypass Tray. If a tray other than the Bypass Tray matches the job's paper size and type but has run out of paper, printing will stop and an alert will appear on the LCD screen, stating that the tray has run out of paper. This prevents unexpected use of the Bypass Tray. Limitations when this BitSwitch is set to "1": - The "Paper Tray Priority: Printer" setting must be configured to a tray other than the Bypass Tray. - Jobs that contain more than one paper size cannot be printed.
	bit 3	Not used	-	-
	bit 4	Add "Apply Auto Paper Select" is the condition that decides if the device's paper size or paper type should be overwritten.	Disabled	Enabled
	bit 4	If this BitSwitch is set to "1" (enabled), the "Apply Auto Paper Select" setting will decide if the paper size or paper type that is specified in the device settings should be overwritten by the job's commands when "Tray Setting Priority" is set to "Driver/Command" or "Any Type". - Apply Auto Paper Select = OFF: Overwritten (priority is given to the job’s commands) - Apply Auto Paper Select = ON: Not overwritten (priority is given to the device settings)
	bit 5	DFU	-	-
	Bit 6	The tray selection setting when a paper size or paper type mismatch occurs.	Disabled	Enabled
	Bit 6	If the tray selection setting is enabled, selecting the tray that the "Apply Auto Paper Select" setting is configured to "Off" cannot be done when a paper size or paper type mismatch occurs.
