Enable Disk Swap - QMS 1725E Reference

Notes
» Note: Memory that is added to the printer goes into a shared pool that is
split between K Mem Display and K Mem Framebuff. This shared memory
increases printer throughput but is not guaranteed to be available to either
client at any given time. If additional memory is added to another client,
that memory is taken from the shared memory or from another client if the
other client is decreased. Make sure you allocate memory to the
appropriate clients each time additional memory is installed. After
reconfiguring your memory, press the Online/Offline key and the printer
automatically reboots.

Enable Disk Swap

Enable Disk Swap gives your printer virtual memory capability for all
memory clients through the creation of a "swap file" on the printer's
hard disk. The default size of the swap file depends on the amount of
RAM installed. The more RAM installed, the larger the default swap
file size will be. The printer uses this file as an extension of its mem-
ory. As the physical RAM fills, the printer can swap the contents to the
hard disk file to allow more space. This file swapping between disk
and RAM occurs at various times throughout the printing process and
is completely transparent.
» Note: The printer must have a hard disk to take advantage of this feature.
