Sharing the Printer

S h a r i n g t h e P r i n t e r

Particular care must be taken when changing settings for a printer being shared by users such as those on a local area network (LAN). When the printer is shared, settings must accommodate the common needs of users.

Considerations for a networked environment include the following:

•Downloading fonts and macros by individual users may consume printer memory. The sharing of downloaded fonts must be coordinated. See Chapter 4: Using Fonts, “Downloading Fonts” (page 4-12).

•Switching between PCL and PostScript may purge downloaded data. See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel, State Saving (page 3-28) for PCL and State Saving (page 3-37) for PostScript.

•Changing settings for Jam Recovery, Page Protection, State Saving, or Resolution affect memory utilization. See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel, “Printer Settings that Affect Memory” (page 3-69).

•The type of interface. (See page 3-38, Appendix A, and Appendix C.)

•Auto Job End should be On. (See page 3-44, page 3-48, page 3-54, page 3-58.)

•Auto Continue should be On. (See page 3-61.)

LANs generally require a system or network administrator, a person who orchestrates the use of the network. Refer to the installation guide packaged with your network option for more information.
