increase memory to the area that minimizes slowdowns when collat-
ing large print jobs.
Memory configuration affects these things as well as the number of 
jobs that can be accepted by the printer, the number of options avail-
able simultaneously, the number of downloadable fonts and emula-
tions that can be stored, and overall printer performance. 
Before you can configure your printer's memory efficiently, you must 
first understand the different types of memory and how they work 
together. Your QMS 1725 SLS Print System documentation uses the 
following memory terms:
The QMS 1725 SLS Print System comes standard with an internal 
hard disk and has the option of upgrading to a larger internal hard 
disk (up to 512 MB) and adding up to six external drives.

Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information. It’s the 
space within your printer where information is stored while being 
actively worked on. 
A memory client is a function that has a dedicated block of memory. 
Each memory client controls certain features. When insufficient mem -
ory is allocated to a specific client, the features it controls may not be  
accessible.
The memory remaining after providing all the other memory clients 
with their specified amounts of memory is automatically added to the 
excess memory client. The frame buffer is the excess memory client 
for the QMS 1725 SLS Print System.
