Resource Saving
Resource Saving allows the printer to keep downloaded resources (permanent
downloaded fonts, macros, or patterns) in memory when the printer language
or resolution is changed.
If you do not have an optional hard disk or flash DIMM for storing downloaded
resources, you might want to change the amount of memory allocated to each
language when downloading an unusually large number of fonts, or if the
printer is in a shared environment.
The minimum amount of memory that can be allocated to Resource Saving is
400 KB each for PCL and PS.
To determine how much memory to allocate to a language:
1. From the Configuration Menu, set RESOURCE SAVE=ON (page 228
). You might need
to add memory to the printer in order for this option to appear in the printer’s control
panel.
2. Also from the Configuration Menu, choose either PCL MEMORY or PS MEMORY and
change the setting to the highest value displayed. This amount will vary depending
upon how much memory is installed in the printer.
