Storing Print Data The print engine memory receives, holds, and processes data from incoming print jobs. It manages downloaded resources, including PCL language, soft fonts, symbol sets, macros, and patterns. The print engine also stores PostScript fonts, forms, patterns, and dictionaries. In heavy use installations, the optional 420-MByte hard disk is recommended to optimize the functionality of your print engine. Saving Resources When two or more personalities (such as PCL and PostScript) are installed, the print engine reserves a portion of memory for each personality's resources. This feature is called Resource Saving. It enables the print engine to keep downloaded resources (such as fonts, forms, and macros) in memory under most conditions. Resource Saving is automatically available on the print engine. By default, the print engine allocates resources to each print engine personality, based on the amount of memory each personality needs. Most users do not need to customize the Resource Saving configuration, but you can change the amount of memory allocated to each print engine personality. See Chapter 4, "Printer Control Panel," to learn how to configure memory for your printer. 2-2 Memory and Memory Management EN
