USB Buffer
Disabled
Auto
3K to <maximum size allowed>
Sets the size of the USB 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 USB buffer size value 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 the Resource Save setting is On
or Off.
• To increase the maximum size range for the USB Buffer, disable or reduce the
size of the parallel, serial, 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.
