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 228). 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.
