I/O Menu

Item	Values	Explanation
I/O TIMEOUT=15	5 to 300	Select the I/O timeout period in seconds. (I/O
		timeout refers to the time, measured in
		seconds, that the printer waits before ending a
		print job.)
		This setting allows you to adjust timeout for
		best performance. If data from other ports
		appear in the middle of your print job, increase
		the timeout value.
		Press [- Value +] once to change settings by
		increments of 1, or hold down [- Value +] to
		scroll by increments of 10.
I/O BUFFER=AUTO	AUTO	Allocate memory for I/O buffering.
	ON	AUTO: The printer automatically reserves
	OFF	memory for I/O buffering. Additional
		configurations are not required and the
		I/O BUFFER SIZE menu item does not
		appear.
		ON: The I/O BUFFER SIZE item appears (see
		below). Specify the amount of memory to be
		used for I/O buffering.
		OFF: I/O buffering is not performed and the
		I/O BUFFER SIZE item does not appear.
		When the I/O buffer setting is changed, any
		downloaded resources (such as fonts or
		macros) will need to be downloaded again,
		unless they are stored on an optional hard disk
		or flash DIMM.
		For more information, see page C-7.
I/O BUFFER SIZE=	10K and up	This item appears only when I/O BUFFER=ON.
100K		Specify the amount of memory for I/O buffering.
		The maximum amount of memory available for
		I/O buffering is determined by the amount of
		memory installed in the printer, the languages
		installed in the printer, and by other memory
		allocations that must be made.
