Memory
4-77 Printer Configuration
Frame Buffer
The Frame Buffer memory client holds rasterized or bitmapped
images of page faces which are ready to be sent to the print engine.
A frame holds the contents of each single page image. If you are
uncertain about how to configure your printer’s memory, use only the
Administration/Memory/Framebuffer menu. Or use this menu as a
starting point before trying manually to configure your printer’s mem-
ory. It provides a simple method of defining how much memory
should go to each of the clients for the most complicated printing con-
ditions in your environment. Menu options allow you to specify the
largest media size you plan to use for each resolution. Memory is
then automatically allocated to the clients that require it. Any excess
memory is allocated among all memory clients. See chapter 5, “Addi-
tional Technical Information,” for more information on memory and the
Frame Buffer client.
Default Off
Notes If disk swapping is enabled and the system hard disk is
removed or not turned on, the printer automatically
resets Enable Disk Swap to Off. It would then be
necessary to re-enable disk swapping, if you want this
functionality.
The printer must be restarted for changes to the Enable
Disk Swap setting to take effect. Changing this setting
causes the
REBOOT NOW?
prompt to appear. You can
either choose to restart the printer now and this change
takes effect immediately or you can manually restart the
printer and have this change take effect later.
If you Enable Disk Swap and restart the printer, then the
disk cache size automatically increases to 256 KB. See
the “Disk Cache” section, earlier in this chapter for more
information.
