Setting the Spool Buffer Size
Use the Min K Spool menu to define the size of the job spooling buffer
allocated to the interface. Min K Spool is the minimum number of
kilobytes of the spool buffer (both RAM and optional disk) allocated to
data received via the interface.
Menu Administration/Communications/Resident NIC/Min K Spool
Administration/Communications/Optional NIC/Min K Spool
Choices Printer-dependent
Default Printer-dependent
Notes A zero for spool space does not turn an interface off. If an
interface is not to be used, disable it [Administration/
Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/CrownNet/ Interface /Protocol
menu (where
xxxxxxxx is either Resident or Optional)] so
memory assigned to it will be assigned to the other protocols.
The sum of Min K Spool settings for all of the installed
communications interfaces must be less than or equal to the
setting in the Administration/Communications/K Mem for Spool
menu. If Min K Spool is set to zero, the system automatically
calculates a new value for it (½ of that available in K Mem for
Spool) each time the printer is turned on.
If the sum of the Min K Spool settings for all installed interfaces
is less than the setting of K Mem for Spool, the remaining
space is considered float memory, memory that can be
allocated as necessary. When an interface has used its default
allotment, it may use any available float memory to spool
additional data. The float memory is allocated on a first-come,
first-served basis. No interface is guaranteed access to any
spool buffer beyond its Min K Spool value.
Min K Spool can appear under the Common menu on some
printers.
