Memory Clients
Memory clients are users of printer memory that are dedicated to a specific purpose. Each of the memory clients is located in the Admin- istration/Memory menu. When you allocate memory to a specific client through the control panel, it’s allocated in kilobytes (KB). Each time you make changes in the Administration/Memory menu, print out a status page to confirm the memory reallocation.
»Note: The value for each memory client must be divisible by 4 KB. Therefore, if a value is entered that is not evenly divisible by 4 KB, it’s automatically converted to the next lower value that’s divisible by 4 KB. For example, if you enter 102 KB, the actual value is lowered to 100 KB, assuming there is enough memory available to allocate to this client. See the “Memory” section of chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” for each memory client’s minimum and default settings.
Memory clients in the 4060 are automatically allocated when the printer is installed or when you upgrade the printer’s memory. There are other occasions when the printer’s memory is automatically real- located.These occur:
n When the printer is installed.
n When new system software is installed. n When adding or removing hard disks. n When memory is upgraded.
n When Frame Buffer is manually adjusted. n When restoring printer defaults.
Remember that if you perform any of these functions the memory cli- ents will be set to default values. The default values depend on the amount of physical memory installed in your printer. The default allo- cation adjusts the Frame Buffer memory client first. It is set to the min- imum values of physical memory needed for your print jobs, that is, paper size, resolution, and duplex printing. The other memory clients are allocated memory from what is left over in physical memory.
