Figure 3.25 PCL and PostScript Menu options that affect printing speed and memory usage

Option

Description

 

 

Jam Recovery

A paper jam may cause a page image being printed to become lost. When

PCL Menu (page 3-26)

Jam Recovery is On, the printer will automatically reprint the image of the

jammed page, after the jam has been cleared.

PostScript Menu (page 3-35)

Because the printer holds a page image in memory longer with Jam

 

 

Recovery, if a low memory condition occurs there can be a slight

 

performance impact and the printer may require more memory. If sufficient

 

memory exists, Jam Recovery has no impact.

 

 

Resolution

The printer prints at 600 or 300 dpi. The factory setting is 600 dpi.

PCL Menu (page 3-27)

Your software application may be able to set Resolution and override the

PostScript Menu (page 3-35)

setting here. Whether a new Resolution is set by your application or on

 

the Control Panel, the new Resolution becomes effective with the next

 

print job or with a printer reset. Unless State Saving (page 3-28 for PCL,

 

page 3-36 for PostScript, and page 3-68) is On, downloaded fonts and

 

macros may be cleared from memory.

 

The higher the resolution, the more memory required. See Figure 3.26

 

(page 3-69)for memory requirements.

 

 

State Saving

When State Saving is Off, fonts and printer macros permanently

PCL Menu (page 3-28)

downloaded from your software application are cleared from memory

when:

PostScript Menu (page 3-36)

• The printer switches from one page description language (PDL) to

 

 

another (such as from PostScript to PCL).

 

• A memory reconfiguration takes place (such as for a new Page

 

Protection or Resolution setting).

 

When State Saving is On, the printer reserves memory to retain the

 

downloaded fonts and macros. Thus, the fonts and macros do not have to

 

be downloaded to memory again when switching PDLs or reconfiguring

 

memory.

 

You may set State Saving separately for the PCL and the PostScript

 

environments.

 

The printer requires 10 MB of memory to enable State Saving when

 

PostScript is installed. If PostScript is not installed, State Saving may be

 

enabled with 6 MB of memory.
