Printer memory
Printer Memory allows you to set the amount of installed printer memory and driver work
space.
The Total Printer Memory box indicates the total amount of installed RAM in megabytes.
It can be directly edited or adjusted with the up and down arrows of the spin control. The
only allowable values for this box are 64 and 128 (MB). If an invalid number is entered
into the box, the value snaps to 64 if the value entered is 63 or less and 128 for all values
greater than 128. The default numbers for Total Printer Memory are specified in the
Printer Model Section of the Config tab and are based on the Printer Model.
Selecting 64 MB or greater and Hard Disk enables the Job Retention checkbox, but
leaves it unchecked as the default. Selecting 64 MB or more and Hard Disk enables the
Mopier Enabled checkbox, which is also unchecked by default. Total Printer Memory
updates from a successful bidi query.
The Driver Work Space allows you to specify the amount of work space available in the
printer for functions such as font downloading. To define Driver Work Space, print a self-
test/configuration page and find the PCL DWS value; enter that value in Driver Work
Space. An accurate DWS value optimizes driver performance.
Driver Work Space value also updates through a successful bidi query. Any custom
values you may have entered are replaced with one of the two default values (based on
your printer model) whenever the state of the Printer Hard Disk checkbox changes or
when a bidi query detects such a change. It might change if you switch printer model
settings.
Ignore application collation
Selecting Ignore Application Collation sets the driver as the only arbiter of how many
copies to print. This option is checked by default. The Ignore Application Collation
checkbox is disabled (grayed) and set to Off if the Mopier Enabled checkbox is off.
The table below shows the expected behavior for a two-page job when the number of
copies is three.
