Memory
frame holds the contents of each single page image. For example, a 600 dpi page printed on letter size paper would consume frame buffer memory space as follows: (600dpi x 600dpi x 8.5'' x 11'')/8 = 4,207,500 bytes or 4.1 M.
Frame buffer memory should always be the first memory client that is configured in the printer. After this, all other clients can be configured depending on your printing needs. Anytime the frame buffer client is changed, all of the other clients will be resized to their default values. Frame buffer can be configured manually or by resetting the printer defaults. In all cases, be sure to keep a copy of the status page as a record of memory client settings. See chapter 5, “Additional Technical Information,” for more information on memory and the frame buffer client.

Printer Memory
MB Printer Mem, listed as Total Memory on the status page, is the number of megabytes of RAM available to be split among the various memory clients. The size of this client's memory limits the number of jobs that may be queued simultaneously. When this client's memory is exhausted, the printer slows down, and the hosts are forced to wait.

Since the printer uses a portion of the hard disk for memory swapping, the amount of memory displayed is larger than the actual amount of memory installed in the printer.
