Auto is the factory default setting. Auto sets the printer to examine data,

 

 

 

 

determine the format, and then process it appropriately.

 

 

Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the

 

 

menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.

 

 

 

 

USB Buffer

Sets the size of the USB input buffer

 

Auto

Notes:

 

3KB to [maximum size allowed]

 

Auto is the factory default setting.

 

Disabled

 

Disabled turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the printer hard

 

 

 

 

disk are printed before normal processing resumes.

 

 

The USB buffer size value can be changed in 1-KB increments.

 

 

The maximum size allowed depends on the amount of memory in the printer,

 

 

the size of the other link buffers, and whether Resource Save is set to On or

 

 

Off.

 

 

To increase the maximum size range for the USB Buffer, disable or reduce the

 

 

size of the parallel, serial, and network buffers.

 

 

Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the

 

 

menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
