PRINT DENSITY
You can increase or decrease the print density with the or switch in
this mode menu as follows:
Display Message Print Density

The more black squares, the darker the

print density. The black squares indicate
:
the density level.

The density can be set to 15 levels.

INPUT BUFFER
You can increase or decrease the capacity of the input buffer with the
or switch in this mode menu. A larger capacity allows the printer to
receive data from the computer faster.

❏❏❏❏❏❏❏❏❏❏❏❏❏❏The more squares, the larger the capacity

Mbytes.
❏❏ The capacity can be set 15 levels.

After you change the input buffer capacity (make sure you press SET
switch), be sure to turn off the printer and then turn it on again. The
setting takes effect the next time you turn on the printer.
Note
The set capacity is not changed even if the emulation mode is changed.
The actual capacity of the input buffer varies according to the installed
RAM. If the RAM capacity is small, the input buffer capacity may not
be increased.
When you select duplex printing, it requires more memory to run
duplex printing. If you set a large input buffer and the remaining
memory is not enough to run duplex printing, the print speed may
decrease in duplex printing, the 600 and 1200 dpi resolution may
decrease to 300dpi, or the printer may automatically change duplex
printing to simplex printing. In such a case, you need to install
optional SIMM memory or set a smaller input buffer size in this mode.
