Resource Saving - NEC 1760 - SilentWriter B/W Laser Printer User Manual

Resource Saving

Resource Saving allocates RAM memory to the PCL 5e
and PostScript Level 2 emulations to save downloaded
resources, such as fonts or logos, when you switch from
one emulation to another. All permanent soft fonts,
macros, and user-defined patterns are then stored for a
printer emulation until it is enabled. Without Resource
Saving, downloaded resources are lost when the printer
switches emulations.
Resource Saving is only available when 7 MB or more of
RAM are installed. Then, the printer allocates a default
amount of memory to both PCL and PostScript. The
default amount allocated depends on how much RAM
is installed. You can print a Test page to see how much
RAM is installed and how much memory is allocated to
each emulation.
Resource Saving settings can only be adjusted in the
operator panel menu tree. Resource Saving options are
Auto: This is the default setting. The printer
automatically allocates a certain portion of memory
to each printer emulation when 7 MB of RAM are
installed. How much memory is reserved for each
emulation depends on how much RAM is installed.
For PCL, if you have the minimum 7 MB of RAM,
400 KB of memory is allocated to Resource
Saving. For each additional MB of RAM you add,
an additional 100 KB of memory is allocated to
Resource Saving. This memory is reserved and
cannot be used for other processing requirements.
For PostScript, if you have the minimum 7 MB of
RAM, 400 KB of memory is allocated to Resource
Saving. For each additional MB of RAM you add,
an additional 400 KB of memory is allocated to
Resource Saving. This memory can be used by the
printer for other processing requirements until it
is needed for storage.
On: If you set Resource Saving to On, the following
menu items become available in the operator panel
menu tree. You use them to specify the amount of
memory dedicated to PCL and PostScript
emulation.
For PCL, if Resource Saving is set to On, this
setting becomes available. You use it to specify the
amount of RAM memory allocated to PCL5e to
save downloaded resources in that emulation.
Memory can be set in increments of 100 KB. The
minimum and default is 400 KB.
For PostScript, if Resource Saving is set to On,
this setting becomes available. You use it to
specify the amount of RAM memory allocated to
PostScript to save downloaded resources.
Memory can be set in increments of 100 KB. The
minimum and default is 400 KB.
No memory is allocated and downloaded
Off:
resources are lost when emulations change.
Caution!
Regardless of Resource Saving settings,
all downloaded resources are lost when you change the
Printer Resolution setting.
