Xerox Paris, a document system Support & Software User Guide

The Resources section of the View/Change Printers dialogue deals with printer
resource management. (The Id number is the internal identifier used by PARIS for
that set of printer resources and cannot be edited.)

Resource management, the downloading of fonts, forms and graphics to the printer,
is automatically controlled by PARIS, but varies according to the capabilities of the
device and Page Description Language (PDL) being used.

There are four general levels of resource management:

PARIS is capable of permanently storing the font resources of some printers.
For these printers, when a resource is first sent to the printer, PARIS sets a flag to
indicate the resource is permanently stored and it is not sent again unless specifically
instructed.

Refer to the section Updating Resources on page 53. (For full details of which
printers are currently supported, contact your distributor.)

When printing to PCL printers (those with no permanent storage), PARIS uses its
resource flag system to indicate that resources are stored in the printers memory.
Because this is memory-based storage, these resources are lost if the printer is
turned off, or overwritten if another application sends output to the printer.

If the printer is turned off or reset, you must use the ‘Reset at start of next job’
option in the PARIS Spooler to reset the flags to their initial state.
