Table 4-12 Input/Output (IO) Menu This menu contains the items related to I/O buffering. See Chapter 2, "Memory and Memory Management," for additional information about the I/O functionality of your printer. Table 4-12 presents the messages that will appear when you select each of the menu items. IO Menu Menus IO MENU * Factory default. Item PARALLEL IO SPEED=[HIGH,LOW] IO TIMEOUT= [5 SEC, 10 SEC, 15 SEC*, 20 SEC, 30 SEC, 60 SEC, 120 SEC, 180 SEC, 240 SEC, 300 SEC] IO BUFFER= [AUTO*,OFF,ON] IO SIZE= nnnK Explanation The rate at which data is transferred to print a page. The time, measured in seconds, that the printer waits before ending an incomplete print job. Once the item is selected, press [+] repeatedly to choose the desired setting for best performance. The portion of the printer memory set aside to hold incoming data. When this item is set to AUTO, the memory set aside for I/O buffering is automatically determined by the printer based on available memory. When it is set to ON, the size can be manually adjusted. When it is set to OFF, no memory is set aside. This menu item will NOT appear in the menu unless sufficient memory is available to allow I/O buffering. For PCL, the standard 4 Mbytes of memory is sufficient. For PostScript it will take more than 12 Mbytes of memory. See Chapter 2 to learn how I/O buffering improves performance. Note: When the I/O buffer settings change, all downloaded resources are deleted, unless they are stored on the optional printer hard disk. Becomes visible only if IO BUFFER is set to ON. It is used to set the size of the buffer. Once the item is selected, press [+] repeatedly to reach the increment value desired. If you hold down the [+] key, the values speed the increments. 4-28 Printer Control Panel EN
