Operating The Ram Disk - Kyocera FS-9120DN Operating Manual

Partition Size: The size of the written data in bytes.
Partition Type: The type of the written data i.e.,
whether it is host data (Data) or
font data (Font).
When the list of file names (partition list) for the hard
disk is printed, the message display returns to Ready.
It also prints out the Directory Status List to
confirm the directory or data that is written in PJL
or KPDL (PostScript).

2.2.10 Operating the RAM Disk

The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer
memory that can temporarily store print jobs. The RAM disk
can be used only for electronic sorting. The stored print job
can then be used to print multiple copies of the job reducing
the total amount of time required to print the whole job. It
acts similarly to the hard disk except that the data is effective
only when the printer is powered up.
To set up the RAM disk, the option hard disk must not be in-
stalled.
To use the RAM disk, activate and enter the desired size of
the RAM disk in the manner described below. The maximum
RAM disk size can be calculated as follows:
FS-9120DN:
Maximum RAM size = Total printer memory minus 36 MB
FS-9520DN:
Maximum RAM size = Total printer memory minus 24 MB
For example, if the total memory installed in your printer
(FS-9520DN) is 64 MB (Default), you can set 40 MB of RAM
disk. If you attempt to set the RAM disk size beyond this re-
striction, the printer automatically rounds it down so that the
size is always 24 MB less than the total printer memory. Once
the RAM disk size is set, the printer must be reset.
To activate RAM disk in the printer's memory, first you must
use the printer's menu selection system. The printer's menu
selection system allows you to perform the following opera-
tions on the RAM disk.
• Setting RAM disk size
• Reading data
• Writing data
• Deleting data
• Printing of list of partitions
By default, the RAM disk is not activated (Off). To confirm the
RAM disk size or activate the RAM disk, proceed as follows:
