Network Buffer Configures the size of the network
input buffer.
Note: Changing the Network Buffer
menu item automatically resets the
MFP. Any permanent resources,
such as fonts or macros, are lost.

Network Buffer size (recommended
setting).
3KB to maximum
size allowed
(1KB increments)
The user specifies the Network Buffer
size. The maximum size depends on
the amount of memory in the MFP, the
size of the other link buffers, and
whether Resource Save is set to On or
Off. To maximize the range for the
Network Buffer size, disable or reduce
the size of the parallel, serial, and USB
buffers.

received through the USB port
requires it, regardless of the default
printer language.

USB port and selects PCL emulation if
the data indicates that is the required
printer language.

incoming data. The MFP uses
PostScript emulation to process the
job if PS SmartSwitch is On, or it uses
the default printer language specified
in the Setup Menu if PS SmartSwitch
is Off.
