Chapter 5: Adding memory
Allocating memory
A portion of printer memory is reserved for input buffers
that hold print jobs sent from your software application.
Your printer has an input buffer for each interface (paral-
lel, serial, network, LocalTalk, or infrared). You can change
the amount of memory allocated to each buffer, depend-
ing on your system requirements. For more information
about using printer menus to allocate memory for each
interface, see the description of the various interface
menus in Chapter 3.
The size of the input buffers varies with the amount of
memory installed in the printer. The following table lists
the default size of the input buffers for each interface. If
your printer is not using a particular interface, the allo-
cated memory is reserved for job processing.
For more detailed information about these input buffers
and memory allocation, refer to the Te ch n ic al Ref ere nc e.
