Auto is the factory default setting.
The Disabled setting turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the
disk are printed before normal processing is resumed.
The USB buffer size value can be changed in 1‑K increments.

or Off.
To increase the maximum size range for the USB Buffer, disable or reduce the

Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
