PS Emulation
The printer language defines how the computer communicates with the printer. Your computer
uses printer languages, such as PCL emulation and PostScript 3 emulation, to send print data
to the printer. Setting a printer language as the default does not prevent the software appli-
cation from sending print jobs that use the other printer language.

The
Power Saver
menu item lets you reduce power usage when the printer is idle by deter-
mining 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
Power Saver
message replaces the
Ready
message and becomes the new printer default when the printer is in a
Ready
state. 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, a high
setting also uses more energy.
Set
Power Saver
to

to put the printer in Power Saver mode one minute after it finishes a print
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

.
If you want a balance between energy consumption and a shorter warm-up period, select a
Power Saver
value between 1 and 120 minutes or 1 and 240 minutes depending on your
printer model.
Note:
Some printer models released in the year 2000 or later designated as Energy Star
printers cannot have Power Saver disabled.
Resource Save
Off*
On
The
Resource Save
setting determines what the printer does with downloaded resources,
such as fonts and macros, if it receives a job that requires more memory than is available.
If
Resource Save
is set to
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,
Memory Full
appears on the operator panel display.
If
Resource Save
is set to
Off
, the printer retains permanent downloaded resources only until
memory is needed. Then it deletes those resources stored for the inactive printer language.
