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 is
important to you. There is no single correct way to manage money,
but there is one best way for you according to your financial
obligations. Just as long as your method works for you.
The same is true for managing the memory on your printer. There
is no single correct way for everyone to allocate available printer
memory. There is, however, a best way to configure your printer’s
memory for maximum efficiency in your specific printing
environment. For example, if you use a large number of PostScript
fonts of various point sizes, you may want to increase the amount
of memory allocated to the area specified for PostScript fonts. Or
you may want to increase memory to the area that minimizes
slowdowns when collating large print jobs.
Memory configuration affects these things as well as the number
of jobs that can be accepted by the printer, the number of options
available simultaneously, the number of downloadable fonts and
emulations that can be stored, and overall printer performance.
