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 printer.

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.

		The portion of the printer memory set aside to hold
		incoming data. When this item is set to AUTO, the
		memory set aside for I/O buffering is automatically
		determined by the printer based on available
IO MENU		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
	IO BUFFER=	appear in the menu unless sufficient memory is
	[AUTO*,OFF,ON]	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 the I/O buffer settings change, all
		downloaded resources are deleted, unless they are
		stored on the optional printer hard disk.
		Becomes visible only if IO BUFFER is set to ON. It is
	IO SIZE=	used to set the size of the buffer. Once the item is
		selected, press [+] repeatedly to reach the
	nnnK
		increment value desired. If you hold down the [+]
		key, the values speed the increments.
