The Disabled setting turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the disk are printed before normal processing is resumed.

The parallel buffer size setting can be changed in 1-K 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 Parallel Buffer, disable or reduce the size of the USB and network buffers.

Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting themenus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.
