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 10 MB (MegaBytes) of memory
if the PostScript option is installed. If the PostScript
option is not installed,
State Saving
may be selected
with less than 10 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 10 MB of printer memory.
The contents of virtual memory will not
be saved if there is not enough free
memory.
†
In Microsoft Windows, the PostScript printer driver has an
option for determining whether header information
(general instructions PostScript needs before processing a
print job) is sent with every print job or just once at the
start of a PostScript session. The header is stored in virtual
memory. If you set the header option to send it to the
printer once, turning
State Saving
On
means the header
will not need to be sent again upon return to PostScript
operation.
