USB Buffer
Using color Purpose:
To configure the size of the USB input buffer.

The maximum size depends on the amount of memory in your printer, the size of the other link buffers, and whether Resource Save is set to On or Off. To maximize the range for the USB Buffer size, disable or reduce the size of the parallel, serial, network, infrared, and LocalTalk buffers.
Maintenance
