Buffer Size - Xerox DocuPrint 305 User Manual

Buffer Size

For each interface, specify the memory capacity of the receive buffer (in which the data sent
from a computer is saved temporarily). For LPD, SMB, and IPP, specify the availability of
spool processing, locations, and memory capacity.
You can change the receive buffer capacity depending on how busy the conditions are and
purposes. Increasing the receive buffer capacity may increase the disconnection speed of
the computer for each interface. The maximum capacity you can specify depends on the
free memory capacity.
Note
• If a port is disabled, the items for it will not be displayed.
• Even if the memory capacity is increased, the disconnection speed of a computer may not be changed
due to the data volume sent from a computer.
Parallel, Serial, NetWare Memory, IPP Memory, USB Memory, Port9100 Memory
Specify the memory capacity between 64 and 1024 KB in increments of 32 KB. The default
is [64 K] for parallel and USB memories and [256 K] for the other memories.
Note
• [IPP Memory] is displayed when the hard disk (optional) is not installed. [IPP Spool] is displayed when
the hard disk is installed.
EtherTalk Memory
Specify the memory capacity between 64 and 1024 KB (1024 and 2048 KB when the
mounted RAM is 256 MB or more) in increments of 32 KB. The default is [1024K].
Note
• [EtherTalk Memory] is displayed only when the PostScript software kit (optional) is installed.
LPD Spool, SMB Spool
[Off] (default)
Select this if you do not want to perform spool processing. When the LPD or SMB data from
a computer is being processed, data from another computer cannot be received via the
same interface.
For LPD, specify the LPD specific receive buffer memory capacity between 64 and 1024 KB
(1024 and 2048 KB when the mounted RAM is 256 MB or more) in increments of 32 KB.
The default is [1024K].
For SMB, specify the SMB specific receive buffer memory capacity between 64 and 1024
KB in increments of 32 KB. The default is [256K].
[Hard Disk]
Select this to perform spool processing. This uses the hard disk (optional) as the receive
buffer for spool processing. This item is displayed when the hard disk is installed.
[Memory]
Select this to perform spool processing. This uses the memory as the receive buffer for
spool processing.
If you select this option, specify the receive buffer memory capacity for spool processing
between 0.5 and 32.00 MB in increments of 0.25 MB. The default is [1.00 M]. Note that the
printer cannot receive data that is larger than the specified memory capacity. In this case,
select [Hard Disk] or [Off].
Important
• If LPR byte count is disabled in Windows 2000 and you send a document whose size is larger than the
spool memory capacity, the computer will repeatedly try to send the job. To stop this, open the [Port] tab
from the properties dialog box of the printer driver to enable the LPR byte count or change the memory
spool capacity to a value larger than the document size.
