Memory Configuration Menu
This menu contains the items for personality Resource Saving and I/O
Buffering. Depending on how your printers memory is configured, any
combination of menu items and possible values can appear. See Chapter 6,
PostScript Printing for additional 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 (except
data stored on the optional PostScript Disk Accessory). Memory
Configuration Menu items can be selected only from the printers control
panel.
Item Options Explanation
IO BUFFER AUTO*, OFF, ON The I/O buffer is a portion of the printer’s memory set
aside to hold incoming data. 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. If you have
a 4MV printer it was set to OFF at the factory. (See “How
I/O Buffering Improves Performance” in Chapter 5.)
[IO SIZE] 10K and up When IO BUFFER is set to ON, I/O SIZE appears in the
menu. Use this item 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. If it is set to
AUTO, the printer automatically determines the amount of
memory to allocate to installed personalities (languages).
When it is set to ON, additional memory management item
selections appear for each installed personality (see next
item). When it is set to OFF, no memory is allocated and
personality-dependent resources (such as fonts) are lost
when personality changes. If you have a 4MV printer it
was set to OFF at the factory. (See “How Your Printer Uses
Memory” in Chapter 5.)
