You may also want to set the Print Quality menu item to Graphics or Images, since the 1200 Image Quality setting requires more memory. If Complex Page errors persist, try setting Page Protect On from the Setup Menu. If you expe- rience frequent Memory Full errors, you may want to set Resource Save Off.

Allocating memory A portion of printer memory is reserved for input buffers that hold print jobs sent from your software application. Your printer has an input buffer for each interface (paral- lel, serial, network, LocalTalk, or infrared). You can change the amount of memory allocated to each buffer, depend- ing on your system requirements. For more information about using printer menus to allocate memory for each interface, see the description of the various interface menus in Chapter 2.

The size of the input buffers varies with the amount of memory installed in the printer. The following table lists the default size of the input buffers for each interface. If your printer is not using a particular interface, the allo- cated memory is reserved for job processing.

For more detailed information about these input buffers and memory allocation, refer to the Technical Reference.
