MemoryQMS 1725E Print System Reference5-12After you have answered all of these questions, read the followingsections to find out which memory clients control features you plan touse and which memory clients control features you don’t need.Memory ClientsMemory clients are users of printer memory that are dedicated to aspecific purpose. Each of the memory clients is located in theprinter’s Administration/Memory menu. When you allocate memory toa specific client through the control panel, it’s allocated in kilobytes(KB). Each time you make changes in the Administration/Memorymenu, print a status page to confirm the memory reallocation.» Note: The value for each memory client must be divisible by 4 KB. Therefore, ifa value is entered that is not evenly divisible by 4 KB, its automaticallyconverted to the next lower value thats divisible by 4 KB. For example, if youenter 102 KB, the actual value is lowered to 100 KB, assuming there isenough memory available to allocate to this client. See the Memorysection of chapter 4, Printer Configuration, for each memory clientsminimum and default settings.Frame BufferThe Frame Buffer memory client holds rasterized or bitmappedimages of page faces which are ready to be sent to the print engine.A frame holds the contents of each single page image.Because the frame buffer memory is so critical to the actual printing ofa page, its allocation takes precedence over that of other memory cli-ents. The number of frames needed to print is engine speed specificand depends on the media size and resolution. For example, printingat 600x600 dpi requires four times the amount of memory in theframe buffer than does 300x300 dpi.The Administration/Memory/Frame Buffer menu provides a quick andsimple method of defining how much memory should go to each ofthe clients for the most complicated printing conditions in your envi-ronment. Menu options allow you to specify the largest media sizeyou plan to use for each resolution. Memory is then automaticallyallocated to the clients that require it.
