executes an implicit <ESC>E at the start and end of the job, and
deletes any temporary fonts, macros, and patterns.
On
—
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 you do any of the following:

Explicitly clear the PCL state by sending an <ESC>E or Printer Job
Language.

Turn 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 tempo-
rary objects on the disk’s standard resource will become perma-
nent. RAM-based temporary objects are lost).

Change any PCL front panel option.

Send any PCL-specific DOC commands (except the DOC emulation
command).

Send a PCL job from a different communications port. For example,
the state set up by a PCL job using the parallel port is cleared if a
subsequent PCL job arrives at the serial port).
