Panasonic DA-PC700 manual Memory Allocation, Uses, Suggested Values

2.2Memory Allocation

This section explains how to allocate memory.

2.2.1Uses

Memory is meant for the following uses:

¥System

¥Receive buffer

¥Page buffer

¥PCL memory

2.2.2Suggested Values

System use

Area used by the printer system, with the capacity remaining unchanged.

Receive buffer use

A receive buffer is prepared for each of the multiple ports so as to receive data from the ports. The various types of buffer are as follows:

¥Parallel receive buffer

¥SMB spool

¥LPD spool

¥IPP spool

¥NetWare receive buffer

¥AppleTalk receive buffer

When you are not using the parallel interface, stop the port, and allocate memory for other uses.

For the NetWare receive buffer, the default value is usually sufficient.

For the AppleTalk receive buffer, it is recommended that as many areas are maintained as possible.

Page buffer use

Area for drawing the actual print image. It is possible to allocate this area from the remaining area after all the other uses have been allocated. To confirm the page buffer capacity, print the Printer Settings List and then check the page buffer capacity. If the page buffer is too small, it will affect the performance and 2 sided printing may be rejected.

	PCL memory use
	Area for the use of PCL. This memory is used to store the interim data for creating the
	print image. By increasing the memory capacity, the printing speed may be increased.
	The memory capacity is 2.50 to 32.00 MB in increments of 0.25 MB. The default is
28	5.0 MB.
