Chapter 8. Managing Printer Memory There are two methods for storing print information, such as fonts, on the printer: hard drive and printer memory. Downloading and Managing Fonts A key use for printer memory and hard drive is storing fonts. Fonts are downloaded (and removed) to printer memory and hard drive using the printer driver. You choose download mode from your printer driver and then select one of four methods for storing the fonts: 1.
permanently, which means that the fonts remain stored in DRAM memory until the printer is powered off. When the printer is powered off, the fonts are erased. Flash Memory Flash Memory is used to store fonts that are downloaded from the operating system (this enables fonts to be used that are not resident on the printer). Flash memory enables fonts to be available permanently until you remove the fonts from flash memory.
Estimating Memory Requirements Memory requirements depend upon many factors which include type of print jobs (such as a spreadsheet that requires more memory than a simple memo), paper size (larger paper sizes require more memory), and type of printing (duplex requires more memory than simplex). Here are some minimum memory requirements: Table 7.
Using Memory Reduction Technology with Page Protection The printer includes a memory management feature called Memory Reduction Technology with Page Protection. Memory Reduction Technology uses the Page Protection function, which you set from the operator panel as PAGEPROT, to help manage printer memory.
Chapter 9. Setting Printer Network Addresses Network Administrator Tip Setting the printer's network address should be performed by a network administrator or someone familiar with network addresses. Before setting the printer's network address, review “Defining Network Configuration Tasks” for a list of network configuration tasks.
Network Administrator Tip If you installed a Token Ring card, please note that anytime you turn the printer off, wait at least two or three seconds before turning the printer back on. A quick off-on may cause the Token Ring card to start beaconing, which is a condition where a signal is displayed on a Token Ring card when the card detects a problem. If the printer is turned off and then on too quickly, this may cause the Token Ring card to detect a false error and begin beaconing.
Setting IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Addresses This section describes how to set the IP, subnet mask, or gateway address. To change the MAC address, refer to “Setting the Locally Administered MAC Address (LAA)” on page 204. To set an IP, subnet mask, or gateway address for the printer, perform these steps: 1. Press the Online key to take the printer OFFLINE. 2. Press the Menu key until the operator panel displays ETHERNET MENU (or TOKEN RING MENU). 3.
Setting the Locally Administered MAC Address (LAA) Network Administrator Tip Each printer comes with a unique, pre-assigned MAC address printed on the NIC faceplate and set the factory. The following procedure allows you to use locally administered addresses (LAA) instead of the factory value. Resetting the printer to factory defaults sets the LAA back to the MAC address. IBM recommends that you use the factory-set MAC address. Also, this feature is only used with Token Ring.
Appendix A. Troubleshooting Problems This section provides simple methods for detecting and solving some of the problems that most frequently occur in printing environments. If your printer does not print your job, follow these steps: 1. Turn the printer off and leave it off for approximately 20 seconds. Turn it back on. This action resets the printer to its programmed configuration and may clear the error. 2.
c9pu210 2. Use 4324 as the machine type.
