I/O Buffering
To allow the computer to continue working without waiting for the print job to
finish queuing, the printer uses a portion of its memory (an I/O buffer) to hold
jobs in progress. (If I/O buffering is off, no memory is reserved for this
function.)
In most cases, it is best to let the printer automatically reserve memory for I/O
buffering.
To speed network printing, you might want to increase the amount of memory
reserved for I/O buffering.
To change the I/O Buffer setting:
1. From the I/O Menu, set
I/O BUFFER=ON
(page
2. Also from the I/O Menu, set
I/O SIZE
to the desired value.
Note
When you change the I/O Buffer setting, all downloaded resources (such
as fonts or macros) will need to be downloaded again, unless they are
stored on an optional hard disk or flash DIMM.
