HP LaserJet 6P

I/O Buffering
I/O buffering allows the user to allocate printer memory to hold the
job while it prints, freeing up the host system sooner, like a print
spooler. The standard printer has approximately 10 KBytes of
memory allocated to I/O buffering and an additional 100 KBytes of
memory is assigned to I/O buffering for each MBytes of memory
added to the printer.
If the printer has a minimum of 6 MBytes of memory installed, the
I/O buffer size can also be adjusted via software. Three settings
exist for the I/O buffer; AUTO (default), ON, and OFF. AUTO sets
the printer’s I/O buffer to a minimum value that is determined by
the total amount of memory that is resident in the printer. Setting
I/O buffering to ON allows the user to set the I/O buffer size
Setting the I/O buffering to OFF disables I/O buffering.
Note
When you change the I/O buffer setting all
downloaded resources are deleted.
