D Printer Memory Note Note 8 Press [Item] until either PS MEM=400K or PCL MEM=400K appears, then press [- Value +] until the number you determined in Step 6 appears. Press [Select] to save your selection. An asterisk (*) appears next to your selection in the display. 9 Press [Go] to exit menus. 10 Repeat Step 5. You must download all fonts again because all downloaded resources are deleted when you change the Resource Saving setting. The downloaded fonts remain in memory until you change Resource Saving or I/O Buffering settings or turn the printer off. How I/O Buffering Improves Performance The printer's I/O Buffer holds a print job in progress, freeing up computer memory. This allows the user to continue operating the computer without waiting for the print job to finish. When additional memory is added to the printer 100 KBytes are automatically reserved for the I/O Buffer for each MByte of memory added. In most cases, it is to your advantage to let the printer automatically reserve memory for I/O Buffering. Network administrators might want to increase I/O Buffering to speed network printing. See "Memory Configuration Menu" in Chapter 3 for information about changing this setting. When you change the I/O BUFFER setting, all downloaded resources will need to be downloaded again.

How I/O Buffering Improves Performance
The printer’s I/O Buffer holds a print job in progress, freeing up
computer memory.
This allows the user to continue operating the
computer without waiting for the print job to finish.
When additional
memory is added to the printer 100 KBytes are automatically reserved
for the I/O Buffer for each MByte of memory added.
In most cases, it is to your advantage to let the printer automatically
reserve memory for I/O Buffering.
Network administrators might want
to increase I/O Buffering to speed network printing.
See “Memory
Configuration Menu” in Chapter 3 for information about changing this
setting.
Note
When you change the
I/O BUFFER
setting, all downloaded resources
will need to be downloaded again.
