State Saving
Off*
On
Reserves memory for saving the contents of virtual
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
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
.
