166 5 Control Panel Settings
Receiving Buffer Sets the memory of the receiving buffer (temporary storage location
for data arriving from the computer) for each interface. Set the
spooling setting, allocation location, and size of memory for each of
the LPD, SMB and IPP interfaces.
The receiving buffer size can be changed according to operating
status and purpose. Increasing the receiving buffer size sometimes
frees up the computer supporting a particular interface more quickly.
The maximum size that can be set changes according to the amount
of free memory.
Note
• When a port is disabled, its corresponding items are not displayed.
• Even if the receiving buffer size is increased, the time required to
free up a computer sometimes does not change depending on the
size of data arriving from the computer.
Parallel,
NetWare, IPP,
USB-1(2.0),
USB-2(2.0),
and Port 9100
Specify memory size from 64 to 1024 KB in 32 KB increments. The
default memory size is [64K] for parallel, USB-1(2.0) and USB-2(2.0)
memory. Otherwise, it is [256K].
Note
• [IPP] appears when the hard disk (optional) is not installed. [IPP
Spool] is displayed when the hard disk is installed.
• [Parallel] appears only when the Parallel Port (optional) is installed.
EtherTalk
Compat
Specify memory size from 1024 to 2048 KB in 32 KB increments. The
default is [1024K].
LPD Spool,
SMB Spool
•[Off] (default)
Spooling is not performed. Data cannot be simultaneously printed
and received using the LPD or SMB interfaces.
When printing on the LPD interface, set the memory size of the
receiving buffer exclusively for LPD from 1024 to 2048 KB in 32 KB
increments. The default is [1024K].
When printing on the SMB interface, set the memory size of the
receiving buffer exclusively for SMB from 64 to 1024 KB in 32 KB
increments. The default is [256K].
• [Hard Disk]
Spooling to hard disk is performed. The hard disk is used as the
receiving buffer for spooling. This item appears only when the hard
disk (optional) is installed.
• [Memory]
Spooling to memory is performed. Memory is used as the receiving
buffer for spooling. When this optional value is selected, set the
memory size of the receiving buffer for spooling from 0.5 to
32.00 MB in 0.25 MB increments. The default is [1.00M]. Note that
print data exceeding the preset memory size cannot be received to
memory. In this case, select [Hard Disk] or [Off].
Important
• When the LPR byte count is disabled on Windows 2000, and a
document larger than the size set as the spooling memory is
received, the job is repeatedly transmitted. If this happens, either
open the [Ports] tab in the print driver Properties dialog box, and
enable the LPR byte count, or change the size of spooling memory so
that it is larger than the size of the document.
IPP Spool •[Off] (default)
Spooling is not performed. Data cannot be simultaneously printed
and received using the IPP interface. Set the memory size of the
receiving buffer exclusively for IPP from 64 to 1024 KB in 32 KB
increments. The default is [256K].
• [Hard Disk]
Spooling to hard disk is performed. The hard disk is used as the
receiving buffer for spooling.
Note
• [IPP Spool] appears only when the hard disk (optional) is installed.
[IPP] is displayed when the hard disk is not installed.
