Items in the I/O (input/output) Menu affect the communication between the printer and the computer.
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. |
