Allows you to control the PCL print environment across print jobs.

Administration/Emulations/PCL 5/Retain Temporary

Choices

Off, On, On Compatibility

Off—Resets PCL to its default state at the end of each PCL

print job, executes an implicit <ESC>E at the start and end

of the job, and deletes any temporary fonts, macros, and

patterns.

—Resets PCL to its default state at the end of each PCL

print job. Temporary fonts, macros, and patterns from

previous PCL jobs are retained in memory after the print

job has completed. You can recall these downloaded fonts,

macros, or patterns from within your PCL file without

having to download them again.

On Compatibility

—Retains the entire state of PCL as well as

the temporary macros, fonts, and patterns from previous

PCL jobs.

Default

Off

Notes

A retained state is cleared if the user does the following:

Explicitly clears the PCL state by sending an <ESC>E or

Printer Job Language.

Turns off the printer. (Note that if Retain Temporary is set

to On or On Compatibility and power is turned off and

back on again, all temporary objects on the disk’s stan-

dard resource will become permanent. RAM-based tem-

porary objects are lost).

Changes any PCL front panel option.

Sends any PCL-specific DOC commands (except the

DOC emulation command).

Sends a PCL job from a different communications port.

For example, the state set up by a PCL job using the par-

allel port is cleared if a subsequent PCL job arrives at the

serial port).
