Input/Output (IO) Menu

This menu contains the items related to I/O buffering. See Chapter 2, “Memory and Memory Management,” for additional information about the I/O functionality of your mopier.

Table 4-12 presents the messages that will appear when you select each of the menu items.

PARALLEL IO

The rate at which data is transferred to print a page.

 

 

SPEED=[HIGH,LOW]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IO TIMEOUT=

The time, measured in seconds, that the mopier

 

 

[5 SEC,

waits before ending an incomplete print job. Once

 

 

10 SEC,

the item is selected, press [+] repeatedly to choose

 

 

15 SEC*,

the desired setting for best performance.

 

 

20 SEC,

 

 

 

30 SEC,

 

 

 

60 SEC,

 

 

 

120 SEC,

IO BUFFER=

The portion of the mopier memory set aside to

 

 

[AUTO*,OFF,ON]

hold incoming data. When this item is set to AUTO,

 

 

 

the memory set aside for I/O buffering is

 

 

 

automatically determined by the mopier based on

 

 

 

available memory. When it is set to ON, the size

 

 

 

can be manually adjusted. When it is set to OFF,

 

 

 

no memory is set aside. This menu item will NOT

 

 

 

appear in the menu until there is sufficient memory

 

 

 

available to allow I/O buffering. For PCL, the

 

 

 

standard 4 Mbytes of memory is sufficient. For

 

 

 

PostScript it will take more than 12 Mbytes of

 

 

 

memory. See Chapter 2 to learn how I/O buffering

 

 

 

improves performance.

 

 

 

Note: When you change the I/O buffer setting, all

 

 

 

downloaded resources are deleted, unless they

 

 

 

are stored on the mopier Hard Disk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IO SIZE=

Becomes visible only if IO BUFFER is set to ON. It is

 

 

nnnK

used to set the size of the buffer. Once the item is

 

 

 

selected, press [+] repeatedly to reach the

 

 

 

increment value desired. If you hold down the [+]

 

 

 

key, the values speed the increments.

 

 

 

 

* Factory default.
