Appendix C Printer Memory and Expansion 318 I/O Buffering Note 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 302). 2. Also from the I/O Menu, set I/O SIZE to the desired value. 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.
