Allows you to control the PCL 5e print environment across print jobs.
Menu Administration/Emulations/PCL 5E/Retain Temporary
Choices
Off
—
Resets PCL to its default state at the end of each
PCL print job, executes an implicit <ESC>E at the
start and end of the job, and deletes any temporary
fonts, macros, and patterns.
On
—
Resets PCL to its default state at the end of each
PCL print job. Temporary fonts, macros, and patterns
from previous PCL jobs are retained in memory after
the print job has completed. You can recall these
downloaded fonts, macros, or patterns from within
your PCL file without having to download them again.
On Compatibility
—
Retains the entire state of PCL as
well as the temporary macros, fonts, and patterns
from previous PCL jobs.
Default Off
Notes
A retained state is cleared if you do any of the following:
„
Explicitly clear the PCL state by sending an
<ESC>E or Printer Job Language.
„
Turn off the printer. (Note that if Retain Temporary
is set to On or On Compatibility and power is turned
off and back on again, all temporary objects on the
disk’s standard resource will become permanent.
RAM-based temporary objects are lost).
„
Change any PCL front panel option.
„
Send any PCL-specific DOC commands (except
the DOC emulation command).
„
Send a PCL job from a different communications
port. For example, the state set up by a PCL job
using the parallel port is cleared if a subsequent
PCL job arrives at the serial port)
