Memory
5-7 Additional Technical Information
Memory
Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information that’s
required to perform many of its tasks. The memory requirements of
each printer are dictated by the applications to be run. Each printer
comes standard with a certain amount of memory, but you may add
more memory as necessary.
The memory is divided among users (or “clients”), each of which allo-
cated a specific amount (or “block”) of memory. Each memory client is
dedicated to a specific printing and application purpose. Your QMS
1725E Print System allows you to distribute its memory among the
various memory clients where it can best serve your specific printing
needs. The following sections provide information on memory man-
agement so you can get the most from your printer.
Generally, there are two main reasons for wanting to reconfigure your
printer’s memory:
n
To achieve maximum performance
n
To enable additional features
The ability to configure your printer’s memory doesn’t necessarily
mean that you must change your current configuration. If you’re pres-
ently using all the features you need and the printer is performing effi-
ciently, you shouldn’t feel compelled to reconfigure your printer's
memory. Just remember that if your printing needs change, not only
do you have the ability to increase the amount of printer memory, but
you also can redistribute it where you feel it would best meet your
printing requirements.
QMS Memory Management
Managing the memory on your printer is much the same as managing
your personal income. In money management, you have a certain
amount of income and many ways of spending that income. You
decide where that money goes according to what’s important to you.
There’s no single correct way to manage money, but there is one best
way for you according to your financial obligations.
