single-page print job consisting of a full-page graphic is more complex (and therefore demands more memory) than a 45-page document consisting primarily of text and simple line art. Print quality The higher the print quality, the more printer memory is needed to process a print job efficiently. When you use the 600 dpi setting, the pels printed on the page are smaller and more numerous than when you use the 300 dpi setting. Printing a graphics-intensive job using the 1200 Image Quality setting not only prints in 600 dpi, it also prints each pel uniquely, requiring even more printer resources. See "Print quality" on page 148 for more information. Page Protect setting When Page Protect is set on, the printer ensures all of the data in the virtual page representation is in the simplest form possible. The printer knows exactly how long it takes to decompress a job, and prevents complex page errors. These occur when the printer cannot create the page quickly enough to keep up with the paper moving through the printer. Setting Page Protect to On may require more memory to process a job, and it may reduce print speed. The default setting for Page Protect is off. See "Changing printer settings" on page 27 for detailed information about printer menus and changing printer settings. Jam Recovery setting Jam Recovery ensures that if there is a paper jam, the jammed page is always reprinted. When Jam Recovery is set on, the printer holds the virtual image for a page until the printer signals that the paper has successfully exited the printer. When Jam Recovery is set to Auto, the virtual page is held in printer memory until the page successfully exits the printer or until the memory being used to store the virtual page is needed for another function in the printer. When Jam Recovery is set to Auto, some jammed pages may not reprint. If Jam Recovery is set to Off, the printer does not reprint any jammed pages. Setting Jam Recovery to On may require more memory to process a job, and it may reduce print speed. The default setting for Jam Recovery is Auto. See "Changing printer settings" on page 27 for detailed information about printer menus and changing printer settings. Managing memory 166

Managing memory
166
single-page print job consisting of a full-page graphic is more complex (and therefore
demands more memory) than a 45-page document consisting primarily of text and simple
line art.
Print quality
The higher the print quality, the more printer memory is needed to process a print job effi-
ciently. When you use the 600 dpi setting, the pels printed on the page are smaller and
more numerous than when you use the 300 dpi setting. Printing a graphics-intensive job
using the 1200 Image Quality setting not only prints in 600 dpi, it also prints each pel
uniquely, requiring even more printer resources. See “Print quality” on page 148 for more
information.
Page Protect setting
When Page Protect is set on, the printer ensures all of the data in the virtual page repre-
sentation is in the simplest form possible. The printer knows exactly how long it takes to
decompress a job, and prevents complex page errors. These occur when the printer can-
not create the page quickly enough to keep up with the paper moving through the printer.
Setting Page Protect to On may require more memory to process a job, and it may reduce
print speed. The default setting for Page Protect is off. See “Changing printer settings” on
page 27 for detailed information about printer menus and changing printer settings.
Jam Recovery setting
Jam Recovery ensures that if there is a paper jam, the jammed page is always reprinted.
When Jam Recovery is set on, the printer holds the virtual image for a page until the
printer signals that the paper has successfully exited the printer. When Jam Recovery is
set to Auto, the virtual page is held in printer memory until the page successfully exits the
printer or until the memory being used to store the virtual page is needed for another
function in the printer. When Jam Recovery is set to Auto, some jammed pages may not
reprint. If Jam Recovery is set to Off, the printer does not reprint any jammed pages.
Setting Jam Recovery to On may require more memory to process a job, and it may
reduce print speed. The default setting for Jam Recovery is Auto. See “Changing
printer settings” on page 27 for detailed information about printer menus and changing
printer settings.
