Spool Buffers - QMS 2025 Administrator's Manual

you make changes in the Memory submenu, print out a status page
to confirm the memory reallocation. (Refer to chapter 1, "Introduc-
tion," for information on how to print a status page.)
Also known as Host Input and K Mem for Spool, this client stores
incoming data from all the interfaces until the physical print engine
can print the job. When enough memory is allocated to this client, the
host becomes free more quickly, and the number of jobs that the
printer can accept simultaneously is increased. You should consider
the amount of data being sent simultaneously when allocating mem-
ory to the spool buffer. Additional hard disks can supplement this cli-
ent with additional memory needed for spooling. The system will not
allow you to set this memory client too low. The default is Variable.
Dedicating Memory to an Interface — Each host interface connec-
tion on the printer has its own submenu. Within each of these sub-
menus is an option for allocation of Min K Spool. Use the Min K Spool
setting under each interface in the Communications submenu to ded-
icate memory to an interface. The value of an interface's Min K Spool
is the number of kilobytes dedicated to spooling jobs received over
that interface. The default value for each interface's dedicated spool-
ing space is 15 KB.
Min K Spool is a numeric value. The maximum amount of memory
that you may dedicate to a single interface is the amount of excess
memory available in the printer. The minimum amount is 0 KB.
