Technical information

The same is true for managing the memory on your printer. There’s
no single correct way for everyone to allocate available printer mem-
ory. There may be, however, a best way to configure your printer's
memory for maximum efficiency in your specific printing environment.
For example, if you use a large number of PostScript fonts of various
point sizes, you may want to increase the amount of memory allo-
cated to the area specified for PostScript fonts. Or you may want to
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
available simultaneously, the number of downloadable fonts and
emulations 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 1725E Print System documentation uses the fol-
lowing memory terms:
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.
Storage is a device which information can be kept. There are three
main types of storage—ROM, RAM, and hard disks.
