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 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
