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 20 MB of memory if the

 

 

PostScript option is installed. If the PostScript option is

 

 

not installed, State Saving may be selected with 16

 

 

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 20 MB of printer

 

 

memory. See “Printer Settings that Affect Memory”

 

 

(page 3-69)for further information.

 

 

 

 

 

The contents of virtual memory will not

 

 

be saved if there is not enough free

 

 

Note memory.

 

 

 

 

 

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.
