Figure 3.23 PCL and PostScript Menu options that affect performance and memory usage

Option	Description
State Saving	When State Saving is Off, fonts and printer macros downloaded from
PCL Menu (page 3-28)	your software application are cleared from memory when:
	• The printer switches from one page description language (PDL) to
PostScript Menu (page 3-37)
	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 Windows PostScript driver for the 4520 allows the user to either
	download the PostScript header with every job or download it only once. If
	the printer is used in a network or other shared environment, where both
	PCL and PostScript jobs are printed, the header will be deleted when the
	printer switches from PostScript to PCL. Banner sheets printed from Novell
	networks cause the printer to switch between PostScript and PCL. If banner
	sheets are printed, insure that the Language Sensing option is ON and
	the default language is PCL. To avoid the loss of the PostScript header,
	select “Download Each Job” in the PostScript driver. The “Already
	Downloaded” option may be selected if at least 20 MB of memory is
	installed in the printer and the State Saving option is set to ON in the
	PostScript printer menu. The user is required to download the header at
	least once for each power on cycle. If several different PostScript
	applications are used, the “Download Each Job” option will guarantee that
	the correct header is always available. See Figure 3.24 (page 3-72)for
	memory requirements.
