The printer has two host buffers--buffer #1 and buffer #2--to simultaneously handle the print data on two interfaces. The way the host buffers receive data can be changed by selecting Host buffer mode as described below. The size shared for the host buffers can be adjusted by changing the value for Host buffer size. When Host buffer mode is set to Auto, the print data arriving from the computer is stored in whichever of the two buffers is empty. As data begins arriving at the other interface, it is stored in the other host buffer. When Host buffer mode is set to Fix, buffer #1 only stores data arriving at the parallel interface; and buffer #2 only stores data arriving at the option interface (if installed). The size of each host buffer can be changed by using Host buffer size. The factory setting is 60 kB for the total size of both buffers and can be changed using the PRESCRIBE FRPO H8 command (See the Programming Manual on the CD-ROM for details).

When feeding from the paper cassette, do not insert paper into the MP tray. Because the MP tray default setting is set to first mode (priority printing from the MP tray), if there is paper inserted in the MP tray, the first paper will always feed from there. To change the MP tray's first mode setting, send the PRESCRIBE FRPO T0 command to the printer from the Remote Operation Panel utility. (See section 1. 6. 7. ) For FRPO commands, refer to the Programming Manual provided on the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
