Memory Clients
QMS 3825/3225/2025 System Administrator’s Guide 7-14
The recommended amount of memory for the disk cache client is:
■
120 KB minimum, plus
■
.5 KB per MB of disk storage up to 256 MB, plus
■
0.25 KB per MB of disk storage between 256 MB and 512 MB
» Note: As the size of the disks double, the needed disk cache per MB of
storage is reduced by half.
For example, the recommended disk cache client size for a 270 MB
hard disk would be 252 KB and for a 340 MB hard disk 269 KB. The
system will not allow you to set this memory client too low. The maxi-
mum value is 99999 and the default is Variable.
Frame Buffer
Also known as K Mem Framebuff, this non-configurable client holds
rasterized or bitmapped images of page faces (single sides of
duplexed pages) which are ready to be sent to the physical print
engine.
MB Printer Mem
This non-configurable information field indicates the total virtual mem-
ory space available to be split among various memory clients.
System Memory
Also listed as System Use on the status page, this non-configurable
information field is the amount of RAM that is used to run the printer’s
operating system. It is never increased or decreased. The system
memory subtracted from the total amount of RAM identifies the
amount of RAM available for all the other memory clients.
