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 4-13)
.
•
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 3-36) 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 3-67)
.
•
The type of interface. (See page 3-37,
Appendix A
, and
Appendix C
.)
•
Auto Job End
should be
On
. (See page 3-43, page 3-47,
page 3-53, page 3-56.)
•
Auto Continue
should be
On
. (See page 3-59.)
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.
