Adjusting Memory Settings

Resource Saving

Resource Saving allows the printer to keep downloaded resources (permanent downloaded fonts, macros, or patterns) in memory when the printer language or resolution is changed.

If you do not have an optional hard disk or flash DIMM for storing downloaded resources, you might want to change the amount of memory allocated to each language when downloading an unusually large number of fonts, or if the printer is in a shared environment.

The minimum amount of memory that can be allocated to Resource Saving is 400 KB each for PCL and PS.

To determine how much memory to allocate to a language:

 

1

From the Configuration Menu, set RESOURCE SAVE=ON

 

 

(page B-11). You might need to add memory to the printer in order

 

 

for this option to appear in the printer’s control panel.

 

2

Also from the Configuration Menu, choose either PCL MEMORY or

 

 

PS MEMORY and change the setting to the highest value displayed.

 

 

This amount will vary depending upon how much memory is

 

 

installed in the printer.

 

3

Using a software application, download all the fonts you want to

 

 

use in the selected language.

 

4

Print a configuration page (page 101). The amount of memory

 

 

used by the fonts is listed next to the language. Round this figure

 

 

up to the nearest 100 KB. (For example, if 475 KB are shown,

 

 

500 KB should be reserved.)

 

5

From the Configuration Menu, set PCL MEMORY or PS MEMORY to

 

 

the value determined in step 4.

 

6

Repeat step 3. (You must download all fonts again. See the note

 

 

below.)

 

When you change the Resource Saving setting, all downloaded

Note

 

resources (such as fonts or macros) will need to be downloaded

again, unless they are stored on an optional hard disk or flash DIMM.
