I/O Buffering

 

To allow the computer to continue working without waiting for the

 

print job to finish queuing, the printer uses a portion of its memory

 

(an I/O buffer) to hold jobs in progress. (If I/O buffering is off, no

 

memory is reserved for this function.)

 

In most cases, it is best to let the printer automatically reserve

 

memory for I/O buffering. (For each megabyte of memory added to

 

the printer, 100 kilobytes are reserved.)

 

To speed network printing, you might want to increase the amount

 

of memory reserved for I/O buffering.

 

To change the I/O Buffer setting:

 

1 From the I/O Menu, set I/O BUFFER=ON (page B-19).

 

2 Also from the I/O Menu, set I/O SIZE to the desired value.

 

 

Note

When you change the I/O Buffer setting, all 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.
