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.

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.
