Understanding printer menus		105
	Use	To
	Parallel Buffer	Set the size of the parallel input buffer.
	Disabled	Notes:
	Auto
		• Auto is the factory default setting.
	3K to [maximum size allowed]
		• Disabled turns off job buffering. Any print jobs already buffered on the printer
		hard disk are printed before normal processing resumes.
		• The parallel buffer size setting 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 Parallel Buffer, disable or reduce
		the size of the USB, 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.
	Job Buffering	Temporarily store print jobs on the printer hard disk before printing.
	Off	Notes:
	On
		• Off is the factory default setting.
	Auto
		• On buffers print jobs on the printer hard disk.
		• Auto buffers print jobs only if the printer is busy processing data from another
		input port.
		• Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
		menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
	Advanced Status	Enable bidirectional communication through the parallel port.
	On	Notes:
	Off
		• On is the factory default setting.
		• Off disables parallel port negotiation.
	Protocol	Specify the parallel port protocol.
	Standard	Notes:
	Fastbytes
		• Fastbytes is the factory default setting. It provides compatibility with most
		existing parallel ports and is the recommended setting.
		• Standard tries to resolve parallel port communication problems.
	Honor Init	Determine if the printer honors printer hardware initialization requests from the
	On	computer.
	Off	Notes:
		• Off is the factory default setting.
		• The computer requests initialization by activating the Init signal from the
		parallel port. Many personal computers activate the Init signal each time the
		computer is turned on.
	Parallel Mode 2	Determine if the parallel port data is sampled on the leading or trailing edge of a
	On	strobe.
	Off	Note: On is the factory default setting.
