Resource Data Collection (Download Target)

Use the Resource Data Collection (Download Target) mode to save the following information to flash memory or disk:

•

•

•

•

•

Permanent bitmapped and scalable fonts for PCL emulation

Permanent macros for PCL emulation macros

Permanent symbol sets for PCL emulation

Type 1 fonts for PostScript emulation

Other PostScript resources

Resource Data Collection can be turned On and Off by using:

•The operator panel menus to select Download Target.

•The MarkVision Professional printer utility. You can also download resources to flash memory and disk or format the flash memory or disk using this printer utility.

•A PJL command (see “LDOWNLOADTARGET” on page 3-30 and “LDOWNLOADTARGET Command” on page 3-86).

The download target (the destination for the resource data collection) may be RAM (the default), flash memory, or disk.

If you store resources (fonts, macros, or symbol sets) in RAM, the resources can be lost if the printer is reset or if the printer language changes while Resource Save is set to Off. In each case, the resources must be downloaded again. By storing resources on flash memory or disk, the resources become permanent in the printer.
