Display List Memory
This is the amount of memory (KB) dedicated to the display lists. The
display list client holds the intermediate representation of pages to be
printed in compressed blocks of data. The size range and default varies
depending upon the amount of memory available on your system.
Display List shares its memory with the PostScript heap. Many pages of
compressed blocks belonging to multiple print jobs can be stored
simultaneously in the display list. If enough memory is allocated to this
memory client, a page can always be ready to print as soon as another
page has been imaged by the print engine, so increasing the amount of
memory in this client might improve printing throughput. If not enough
memory is allocated to this client, memory is taken from the excess
memory client (PostScript heap) to complete the print job.

Frame Buffer Memory
This is the amount of system memory (KB) dedicated to the frame buffers.
This client holds rasterized pages that are ready to be transferred to the
print engine. The amount of frame buffer storage affects the maximum
size of any single page. The resolution, page size, and number of colors
that can be printed depends on how much RAM is in the printer. See
“Changing Print Resolution” in chapter 2, “Printing,” of the user’s guide for
information on minimum RAM requirements.
