Hard Disk Management - QMS 1725E Reference

» Note: After you format a hard disk and the
is displayed in the message window, the formatted disk may not be available
to the system until the printer is turned off and then on again.
MB Printer Mem
This field shows the size of the physical RAM installed in the printer. If
a hard disk is installed and disk swapping is enabled (Administration/
Memory/Enable Disk Swap), this field also gives the size of available
virtual memory.
System Memory
Also known as System Use, this non-configurable client is the amount
of RAM used to run the printer's operating system. It's 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.

Hard Disk Management

You can add one internal hard disk and up to three external hard
disks to your QMS 1725E Print System. These hard disks serve as
secondary storage places for such items as downloaded fonts, emu-
lations, and spooled data.
Virtual Memory Support
Your printer supports virtual memory capabilities for the spooling
buffer (Administration/Memory/K Mem for Spool menu) and the dis-
play list (Administration/Memory/K Mem Display) clients when a hard
disk is installed and disk swapping is enabled (Administration/Mem-
ory/Enable Disk Swap menu). These capabilities extend the amount
of memory available for certain supported features, such as spooling
and collation. If all of the memory in the spooling buffer or display list
is being used and Enable Disk Swap is enabled, the printer stores the
"overflow" on a hard disk.
» Note: Chunk collation begins automatically after 50 pages regardless of how
much memory is available to the display list client.
