204 5 Control Panel Settings
[Allocate Memory]
[Allocate Memory] changes the size of memory and form memory of each interface.
Important
• Memory is reset when its size is changed, and all data stored in each of the memory areas is deleted.
• You cannot allocate more than the total memory. When the memory allocation settings exceed the size of
mounted memory when the power is turned on, the system automatically adjusts memory allocation.
• If the printer runs out of memory when ports are set to be enabled at printer startup, the ports are sometimes
automatically disabled. If this happens, either disable unused ports, or change the memory allocation under
[Allocate Memory]. Note, however, that the parallel, USB ports are never automatically disabled.
Note
• Memory allocation, excluding the print page buffer, can be set on the control panel or in CentreWare Internet
Services.
• The print page buffer is the area where the actual printed image is plotted. The size of the print page buffer can
be changed directly by the user. Area remaining after memory is allocated for other uses is allocated as the print
page buffer.
When printing high-resolution documents, set so that a large buffer size is allocated as print page buffer.
The actual size of the allocated print buffer can be confirmed by printing the [Configuration Report]. You can also
check it by using CentreWare Internet Services.
