Setting the RAM Disk

The RAM disk is a portion of the printer's memory that is shared and can

temporarily store print jobs. The RAM disk can only be used for electronic

sorting. Print jobs stored in the RAM disk can then be used to accelerate

multiple copy print jobs, for example. The data contained in the RAM disk

remains there only while the printer is on.

The maximum size of RAM disk should be calculated as follows:

Maximum RAM size = Total printer memory - 9 MB

For example, if the total memory installed in your printer is 16 MB, you

can adjust the RAM disk size to 7 MB, as outlined below. If you try to set

the RAM disk size beyond this restriction, the printer automatically rounds

the value down to the appropriate size. Once the RAM disk size is set, you

need to reset the printer.

To activate the RAM disk in the printer's memory, you must first use the

printer's menu selection system.

The printer's menu selection system allows you to perform the following

operations.

•Setting the RAM disk size

•Reading data

•Writing data

•Deleting data

•Printing a list of data names

The procedures are the same as that for the Memory Card menu. See

Operating a Memory Card (CompactFlash Card)

procedure to activate and set the function follows.

The RAM disk is set from the printer's user memory. Therefore, the

printing speed can drop and/or insufficient memory errors occur,

depending on the settings for the RAM disk.
