Option	Setting		Description
State Saving	Off*	Reserves memory for saving the contents of virtual
	On	memory, when print jobs switch from PostScript to
		the PCL printer language or when the printer steps
		down in Page Protection or Resolution.
		When Off, if print jobs switch from PostScript to PCL,
		the contents of virtual memory are cleared.†
		When On, State Saving saves virtual memory
		contents, eliminating the time to download again
		when switching back to PostScript.
		State Saving requires 10 MB (MegaBytes) of memory
		if the PostScript option is installed. If the PostScript
		option is not installed, State Saving may be selected
		with less than 10 MB. This will prevent loss of
		downloaded PCL fonts and macros if applications
		change the setting of Resolution or Page
		Protection. Enabling State Saving can have an
		effect on printing speed with minimum memory
		installed. It is recommended that this option not be
		enabled without 10 MB of printer memory.
			The contents of virtual memory will not
			be saved if there is not enough free
		Note	memory.

† In Microsoft Windows, the PostScript printer driver has an option for determining whether header information (general instructions PostScript needs before processing a print job) is sent with every print job or just once at the start of a PostScript session. The header is stored in virtual memory. If you set the header option to send it to the printer once, turning State Saving On means the header will not need to be sent again upon return to PostScript operation.
