MemoryQMS 1725E Print System Reference5-8The same is true for managing the memory on your printer. There’sno single correct way for everyone to allocate available printer mem-ory. There may be, however, a best way to configure your printer'smemory for maximum efficiency in your specific printing environment.For example, if you use a large number of PostScript fonts of variouspoint sizes, you may want to increase the amount of memory allo-cated to the area specified for PostScript fonts. Or you may want toincrease memory to the area that minimizes slowdowns when collat-ing large print jobs.Memory configuration affects these things as well as the number ofjobs that can be accepted by the printer, the number of optionsavailable simultaneously, the number of downloadable fonts andemulations that can be stored, and overall printer performance.Memory TermsBefore you can configure your printer's memory efficiently, you mustfirst understand the different types of memory and how they worktogether. Your QMS 1725E Print System documentation uses the fol-lowing memory terms:MemoryMemory allows your printer to store and retrieve information. It’s thespace within your printer where information is stored while beingactively worked on.Memory ClientA 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 beaccessible.StorageStorage is a device which information can be kept. There are threemain types of storage—ROM, RAM, and hard disks.
