Description

Serial Buffer

Disabled
Auto
3K to <maximum size allowed>

Sets the size of the serial input buffer

Notes:

Auto is the factory default setting.

The Disabled setting turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the
disk are printed before normal processing is resumed.

The serial buffer size setting can be changed in 1

‑K increments.

The maximum size allowed depends on the amount of memory in the printer,
the size of the other link buffers, and whether Resource Save is set to On or
Off.

To increase the maximum size range for the Serial Buffer, disable or reduce
the size of the parallel, USB, and network buffers.

Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.
