The printer language defines how the computer communicates with the printer. Your computer

 

uses printer languages, such as PCL emulation and PostScript Level 2 emulation, to send

 

print data to the printer. Setting a printer language as the default does not prevent the

 

software application from sending print jobs that use the other printer language.

 

 

 

 

Power Saver

Disabled

 

 

 

1…120 (20*)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Power Saver menu item lets you reduce power usage when the printer is idle. The Power

 

Saver setting determines the length of time (in minutes) the printer waits after a job is printed

 

before it goes to a reduced power state.

 

If you have selected a Power Saver value, the message Power Saver replaces the Ready

 

message on the operator panel display when the printer is in a ready state (after the time

 

specified by the Power Saver setting has elapsed). This is the printer default. Both messages

 

indicate the printer is ready to receive jobs.

 

If your printer is in constant use, select a high setting, such as 120. Under most circum-

 

stances, this keeps the printer ready to print with minimum warm-up time. However, it also

 

uses more energy.

 

 

 

Setting Power Saver to 1 puts the printer in Power Saver mode one minute after it finishes

 

printing each job. This uses much less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer.

 

If your printer shares an electrical circuit with room lighting and you notice lights flickering, you

 

may want to set Power Saver to 1.

 

If you want a balance between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period, select a

 

Power Saver value between 1 and 120 minutes.

 

 

 

 

Resource Save

Off*

 

 

 

On

 

 

The Resource Save setting determines what the printer does with resources downloaded to RAM if the printer receives a job that requires more memory than is available.

If Resource Save is On, the printer retains all permanent downloaded resources for all printer languages during language changes and printer resets. If the printer runs out of memory, the message Memory Full appears on the display.

If Resource Save is Off, the printer retains permanent downloaded resources only until memory is needed. Then it deletes those resources stored for the inactive printer language.

See page 66 for information about adding memory to your printer.
