Minimum Buffer
Minimum Buffer
No
Possible Values:
No*, Yes
This item selects whether the smallest possible I/O buffer should be used. Setting this item to
No
will
allow the printer to make maximum use of the I/O buffer (see “
Paper Out Fault
” on page 31 for more
information on buffer size). Setting this to
Yes
may decrease performance, but is useful when using the
printer with operating systems that try to keep track of which page is currently being printed by the printer.
This may also be useful when using serial I/O with systems that do not respond quickly enough to
handshake signals.
