Notes

DOC commands specifying resources override this option on a

 

per-job basis.

 

If this option is set to Disk and no hard disk is installed,

 

memory is used as the default storage location.

 

If the printer has both a hard disk and a large amount of

 

memory, setting this option to Memory enhances printer

 

performance.

 

Before you download any objects, ensure that the printer has

 

enough memory, or they may not be available for use. If it

 

doesn’t, you can install SIMMs (see chapter 6, “Printer

 

Options”) to increase printer memory, or you can install a hard

 

disk (see chapter 6, “Printer Options”) and enable disk

 

swapping (Administration/Memory/Enable Disk Swap menu–

 

see the “Memory” section, later in this chapter).
