Memory Configuration Menu
This menu contains the items for personality Resource Saving and I/O
Buffering. Depending on how your printer’s memory is configured, any
combination of menu items and possible values can appear. See Chapter
5 for additional PostScript information.
When you change an item in this menu, the printer automatically resets,
and all fonts, macros and downloaded data in the printer are lost.
Memory Configuration Menu items can be selected only from the
printer control panel. You cannot change them temporarily in your
software application. See Figure 3-2, item F for the location of the
Memory Configuration Menu on the Menu Map.
Item Options Explanation
I/O BUFFER AUTO*
OFF
ON
The I/O buffer is a portion of the printer memory set aside to hold
incoming data. This reduces the time your computer must wait when a
job is sent to the printer.
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 for I/O buffers. (See “How
I/O Buffering Improves Performance” in Appendix D.)
I/O SIZE
10K and up When I/O BUFFER is set to ON, this item appears in the menu. Press
- Value + to add or reduce I/O buffer memory in increments of 10 KBytes
up to 100 KBytes, then in 100 KByte increments.
RESRCSAVE AUTO*
OFF
ON
This item appears when a certain amount of memory and a personality
SIMM are installed in the printer. This item enables or disables Resource
Saving.
If it is set to AUTO, the printer automatically determines the amount of
memory to allocate to each installed personality (language), and no
additional items appear in the menu.
When it is set to ON, additional memory management item selections
appear for each installed personality.
When it is set to OFF, no memory is allocated and personality-dependent
resources, such as fonts and macros, are lost when personality or
resolution changes. (See “How Your Printer Uses Memory” in
Appendix D.)
PCL MEM
PS MEM
0K and up When Resource Saving is set to ON, each installed personality (for
example, PCL and PostScript) is added as a menu item. You can
increase memory for each installed personality in increments of 100
KBytes up to the maximum amount of memory available.
*Indicates factory default.
