Memory
Disk Cache
The K Mem Disk Cache is the number of kilobytes of RAM dedicated to the disk cache. This memory client speeds file system throughput on any installed hard disks by storing frequently used data in system memory instead of continually storing it to and retrieving it from a hard disk.

Notes If you change the K Mem Disk Cache value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your changes and exit from the configuration menu.
The amount of memory needed for this memory client depends on the size and number of hard disks, the number of subdirectories on each disk, and the amount of memory dedicated to caching.
»Note: If sufficient memory is available to the disk cache, all disks are accessible. If insufficient memory is available to the disk cache, some disks may be accessible while others may not be.
The recommended amount of memory for the disk cache client is n 120 KB minimum
n 0.5 KB per MB of disk storage total for all disks
For example, the recommended amount of memory for the disk cache for a single 120 MB hard disk is 180 KB, and for two 120 MB hard disks it is 240 KB. These are recommended values. The printer will still operate with a smaller cache, but decreased performance may result.
Frame Buffer
The Frame Buffer memory client holds rasterized or bitmapped images of page faces which are ready to be sent to the print engine. A
