[. . . ] You need not press the CONTINUE switch. CONTINUE=MANUAL CONTINUE=AUTO 4­40 CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL PRINT DENSITY You can increase or decrease the print density with the v or w switch in this mode menu as follows: Display Message sssssssssssssss ssssssssssssss : ss s Print Density The more black squares, the darker the print density. (Factory setting = ssssssss) ssssssss INPUT BUFFER You can increase or decrease the capacity of the input buffer with the v or w switch in this mode menu. A larger capacity allows the printer to receive data from the computer faster. Display Message ttttttttttttttt tttttttttttttt : : tt t Input Buffer The more squares, the larger the capacity of the input buffer. The squares indicate the level of the capacity but not the size in Mbytes. (Factory setting =ttttt) After you change the input buffer capacity (make sure you press SET switch), be sure to turn off the printer and then turn it on again. Notes · The set capacity is not changed even if the emulation mode is changed. · The actual capacity of the input buffer varies according to the installed RAM. If the RAM capacity is small, the input buffer capacity may not be increased. · When you select duplex printing, it requires more memory to run duplex printing. If you set a large input buffer and the remaining memory is not enough to run duplex printing, the print speed may decrease in duplex printing, the 600dpi resolution may decrease to 300dpi, or the printer may automatically change duplex printing to simplex printing. In such a case, you need to install optional SIMM memory or set a smaller input buffer size in this mode. 4­41 USER'S GUIDE INPUT BUFFER SIZE 14M 15 SQUARES 5 SQUARES 100K 51K 30K 7M 14M RAM SIZE Fig. 4-5 Input buffer size 4M 1 SQUARE 30K 26M SAVE SETTINGS Suppose you share this printer with others who want different panel switch settings or you use the printer with different settings.
