downloaded fonts remain in memory until you change Resource Saving

 

or I/O Buffering settings or turn the printer off.

 

 

 

How I/O Buffering Improves Performance

 

The printer’s I/O Buffer holds a print job in progress, freeing up

 

computer memory. This allows the user to continue operating the

 

computer without waiting for the print job to finish. When additional

 

memory is added to the printer 100 KBytes are automatically reserved

 

for the I/O Buffer for each MByte of memory added.

 

In most cases, it is to your advantage to let the printer automatically

 

reserve memory for I/O Buffering. Network administrators might want

 

to increase I/O Buffering to speed network printing. See “Memory

 

Configuration Menu” in Chapter 3 for information about changing this

 

setting.

 

When you change the I/O BUFFER setting, all downloaded resources
