Resource Saving
Resource Saving gives the printer the ability to save certain
entities such as permanent soft fonts, macros, symbol sets and
user-defined graphics patterns when the printer changes
personalities, resolutions or page protect modes. For example, if a
user switches the printer from PCL mode to PostScript mode, all
PCL soft fonts and macros are lost.
With resource saving, the HP LaserJet 5P/5MP, 6P/6MP printer
can retain these in memory. When the user switches back to PCL
from PostScript all of the PCL entities would still be resident in
the HP LaserJet 5P/5MP, 6P/6MP printer. Resource Saving can be
changed via software, but can only be accessed when the printer
has the PostScript language installed and a minimum memory
configuration of 7 MB.
Resource Saving can be set via software for one of three modes,
AUTO (default), ON, and OFF. Auto configuration sets the
Resource Saving for PCL and Postscript to a minimum value (400
KBytes) for each personality. Setting Resource Saving to ON
allows the user to determine how much printer memory will be
used for Resource Saving for the PCL personality and the
Postscript personality. The memory can be allocated in 100 KBytes
increments. For example, if the user sets the Resource Saving
memory size to 200 KBytes, a total of 400 KBytes of memory will
be assigned to Resource Saving. 200 KBytes of memory will be
used for Postscript Resource Saving and 200 KBytes of memory
will be used for PCL Resource Saving. Turning Resource Saving
OFF disables the Resource Saving function and no memory is
allocated to Resource Saving.
