Description
Parallel Buffer
Disabled
Auto
3K to <max size allowed>
Sets the size of the parallel input buffer
Notes:
•
Auto is the factory default setting.
•
The Disabled setting turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the
disk are printed before normal processing is resumed.
•
The parallel buffer size setting can be changed in 1-K increments.
•
The maximum size allowed depends on the amount of memory in the printer,
the size of the other link buffers, and whether Resource Save is set to On or Off.
•
To increase the maximum size range for the Parallel Buffer, disable or reduce
the size of the USB and network buffers.
•
Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus
causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.
