Sharing the Printer
Chapter 1: Introduction
❖
1-5
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.
