Printer Language PCL Emulation
PS 2 Emulation*
The printer language defines how the computer communicates with the printer. Your computer
uses printer languages, such as PCL emulation and PostScript Level 2 emulation, to send
print data to the printer. Setting a printer language as the default does not prevent the
software application from sending print jobs that use the other printer language.
Power Saver Disabled
1…120 (20*)
The Power Saver menu item lets you reduce power usage when the printer is idle. The Power
Saver setting determines the length of time (in minutes) the printer waits after a job is printed
before it goes to a reduced power state.
If you have selected a Power Saver value, the message Power Saver replaces the Ready
message on the operator panel display when the printer is in a ready state (after the time
specified by the Power Saver setting has elapsed). This is the printer default. Both messages
indicate the printer is ready to receive jobs.
If your printer is in constant use, select a high setting, such as 120. Under most circum-
stances, this keeps the printer ready to print with minimum warm-up time. However, it also
uses more energy.
Setting Power Saver to 1 puts the printer in Power Saver mode one minute after it finishes
printing each job. This uses much less energy, but requires more warm-up time for the printer.
If your printer shares an electrical circuit with room lighting and you notice lights flickering, you
may want to set Power Saver to 1.
If you want a balance between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period, select a
Power Saver value between 1 and 120 minutes.
Resource Save Off*
On
The Resource Save setting determines what the printer does with resources downloaded to
RAM if the printer receives a job that requires more memory than is available.
If Resource Save is On, the printer retains all permanent downloaded resources for all printer
languages during language changes and printer resets. If the printer runs out of memory, the
message Memory Full appears on the display.
If Resource Save is Off, the printer retains permanent downloaded resources only until
memory is needed. Then it deletes those resources stored for the inactive printer language.
See page 66 for information about adding memory to your printer.
