Description
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.
Note
†
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.
