Memory4-51Printer ConfigurationThe amount of memory needed for this memory client depends on thesize and number of hard disks, the number of subdirectories on eachdisk, and the amount of memory dedicated to caching.» Note: If sufficient memory is available to the disk cache, all disks are acces-sible. If insufficient memory is available to the disk cache, some disks may beaccessible while others may not be.The recommended amount of memory for the disk cache client isn 120 KB minimumn 0.5 KB per MB of disk storage total for all disksFor example, the recommended amount of memory for the diskcache for a single 120 MB hard disk is 180 KB, and for two 120 MBhard disks it is 240 KB. These are recommended values. The printerwill still operate with a smaller cache, but decreased performancemay result.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.Notes If the Intellifont SIMM is installed and your printer has 12 MB ofmemory or less, the Disk Cache size must be set to 48 KBbefore the printer will recognize the Intellifont SIMM. If yourprinter has more than 12 MB of memory, the Disk Cache willautomatically be set to the required amount.If no hard disk is used, the disk cache should be set to theminimum. The printer then reallocates the released memory toother clients that need additional memory.If one or more hard disks are used, they remain unavailableuntil sufficient memory is available to the disk cache.If you change the K Mem Disk Cache value, the printerautomatically restarts after you save your changes and exitfrom the configuration menu.
