Memory

Virtual Memory Support

Your printer supports virtual memory capabilities for the spooling buffer (Administration/Memory/K Mem for Spool menu) and the display list (Administration/Memory/K Mem Display) clients when a hard disk is installed and disk swapping is enabled (Administration/Mem- ory/Enable Disk Swap menu). These capabilities extend the amount of memory available for certain supported features, such as spooling and collation. If all of the memory in the spooling buffer or display list is being used Enable Disk Swap is enabled, the printer stores the “overflow” on a hard disk.

»Note: Chunk collation begins automatically after 50 pages regardless of how much memory is available to the display list client.

Specific Printing Environment Example

Since configuring memory is not an exact science, it may be helpful to see how others in various printing environments have allocated their printer memory to meet their printing needs best. The following examples are to be used only as a guideline for configuring your own printer's memory.

Example

A QMS 1660 Print System with 12 MB of RAM. As many as 35 people use this printer, sending text and graphics PostScript files to be printed on 8.5" x 11" (215.9 mm x 279.4 mm) and 11" x 17" (279.4 mm x 431.8 mm) media. They have configured their printer to print at 600x600 dpi.

This is what their Current Memory Configuration box on their status page looks like:
