Other Settings 1.6.4 Host Buffer Host buffer is the shared memory area in the printer's main memory that temporarily stores print data sent from the host computer for each interface. The printer has three host buffers-buffer #1, buffer #2 and buffer #3-to simultaneously handle the print data on three interfaces. The way the host buffers receive data can be changed by selecting Host buffer mode as described below. The size shared for the host buffers can be adjusted by changing the value for Host buffer size. When Host buffer mode is set to Fix, buffer #1 only stores data arriving at the parallel interface; buffer #2 only stores data arriving at the option interface (if installed); and buffer #3 only stores data arriving at the USB interface. The default setting is Fix. When Host buffer mode is set to Auto, the print data arriving from the computer is stored in whichever of the three buffers is empty. As data begins arriving at the other interface, it is stored in the other host buffer. The size of each host buffer can be changed by using Host buffer size. The factory setting is 500 kB for the total size of the three buffers and can be changed using the PRESCRIBE FRPO H8 command (See the Programming Manual on the CD-ROM for details). The total host buffer size can be between 5 kB and the printer's free memory size. 1 Click the MENU button on the start-up screen. 2 The Menu dialog box is displayed.
