Saving resources (permanent resources)

Utilities or jobs that you downloaded to the printer sometimes include resources (for example, fonts, macros, or patterns). Resources that are internally marked as permanent remain in the printer memory until you turn the printer off.

If you do not have an embedded or optional hard disk or flash memory card 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.
