Memory configuration affects these things as well as the number of
jobs that can be accepted by the printer, the number of options avail-
able simultaneously, the number of downloadable fonts and emula-
tions that can be stored, and overall printer performance.

Before you can configure your printer's memory efficiently, you must
first understand the different types of memory and how they work
together. Your QMS 2425/2425
TURBO Print System documentation
uses the following memory terms:
0HPRU\
Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information. It’s the
space within your printer where information is stored while being
actively worked on.
0HPRU\&OLHQW
A memory client is a user of a block of memory dedicated to a specific
function. Each memory client controls certain features. When insuffi-
cient memory is allocated to a specific client, the features it controls
may not be accessible.
([FHVV0HPRU\
Some printers designate one or two memory clients to receive all the
excess, or unassigned memory. On your QMS 2425/2425
TURBO
Print System excess memory is distributed among all the memory cli-
ents.

Storage is a device in (or on) which information can be kept. There
are three main types of storage—ROM, RAM, and hard disk drives.
ROM stores read-only data, RAM represents temporary storage, and
hard disk drives hold information on a more permanent basis (see the
following definitions).
