After its initial use, the state of an emulation and downloaded data
(such as fonts, macros, and overlays) are preserved for as long as
the printer power is on.
User Benefit—Repetitive downloading of emulations, fonts, macros,
and overlays is unnecessary, saving you time.
Crown printers convert data received from the input buffers into
intermediate, compressed blocks until the data is needed for printing.
These compressed blocks of data are designed to be processed
rapidly by the printer, and many more can be stored in memory at one
time than can traditional bitmapped images.
User Benefit—This increases the speed of printer feat ures such as
collation and automatic jam recovery.
With most printers, if a media jam occurs, you must remove the
jammed media and then reprint the job. On a QMS Crown printer, if
the Page Recovery menu option is set to “on,” and a media jam
occurs, once you remove the jammed media, the printer reprints the
jammed page and then continues with the print job. This is possible
because compressed data formats allow more pages to be stored in
memory. The printer remembers the last page printed, pulls the nec-
essary information from memory, and automatically reprints any lost
pages.
User Benefit—You save time and print media because it’s unneces-
sary to resend a print job after clearing a media jam.
