Retain Temporary
Choices
Off (default)—Reset PCL to its default state at the
end of each PCL print job, execute an implicit
<ESC>E at the start and end of the job, and
delete any temporary fonts, macros, and
patterns.
On—Reset PCL to its default state at the end of
each PCL print job. Temporary fonts, macros, and
patterns from previous PCL print jobs are
retained in memory after the print job has
completed. You can recall these downloaded
fonts, macros, and patterns from within your PCL
file without having to download them again.
On Compatibility—Retain the entire state of PCL
as well as the temporary macros, fonts, and
patterns from previous PCL jobs unless you do
one of the following:
Change any PCL control panel option
Send any PCL-specific DOC—except
the emulation DOC
Send any other DOC, such as number
of copies, duplex, orientation, or inputbin
Send a PCL job from a different commu-
nications port—for example, if the PCL
print environment is set for PCL jobs to
print from the parallel port, and a PCL
job is sent from the serial port. If any
one of these occurs, the PCL state is
reset to the new default, and the previ-
ous state is lost.
Scalable Fonts
Specifies whether to enable or disable the printing of HP PCL5
scalable fonts by an application.
