clients. The number of frames needed to print at engine speed is
engine specific and depends on the size media and resolution. For
example, printing at 600x600 dpi requires four times the amount of
memory in the frame buffer than does 300x300 dpi.
If you are uncertain about how to configure your printer's memory,
use only the Administration/Memory/QuickConfig menu. This menu
appears if your printer does not have a disk drive attached or if the
disk swap option is disabled. Use this menu as a starting point before
trying manually to configure your printer's memory.
It provides a simple method of defining how much memory should go
to each of the clients for the most complicated printing conditions in
your environment. Menu options allow you to specify the largest
media size at the resolution you plan to use. Memory is then automat-
ically allocated to the clients.
