Since configuring memory is not an exact science, it may be helpful to
see how others have allocated their printer memory to meet their
printing needs best. The following example is to be used only as a
example for configuring your own printer's memory.
([DPSOH
A QMS 2425/2425 TURBO Print System with 8 MB of RAM. As many
as 10 people use this printer, sending text and graphics PostScript
files to be printed on 8.5" x 11" (215.9 mm x 279.4 mm) media. They
have configured their printer to print at 600x600 dpi.
This QMS 2425/2425 TURBO has the minimum memory configura-
tion (8 MB) without a hard disk. Notice that the Frame Buffer is only
allocated enough physical RAM to cover one letter size page. If the
printer had at least 16 MB of memory, the frame buffer would be con-
figured for 7960 KB, enough for two letter size pages. If the printer
had a duplexer and 16 MB or greater memory, then the Frame Buffer
would be configured for 11940 KB, enough to hold 3 letter-size bit-
maps.
