Memory
The memory requirements of the printer are dictated by the
applications that you run. Of the printer's memory, 9 MB are
divided among blocks or "memory clients," each dedicated to a
specific purpose. Added or extra printer memory (if any) can be
redistributed among the memory clients where it can best serve
your specific printing needs. This appendix explains the different
memory clients and what happens if you increase or decrease their
memory allocations. See the glossary for definitions of unfamiliar
memory terms.
Don't feel compelled to reconfigure your printer's memory just
because you have the ability to: printer memory is configured at
the factory to provide optimal performance in most printing
environments. Remember that the engine's maximum speed is
about 8 pages per minute for a letter- or A4-size, monochrome
page, no matter how much memory is installed.

all factory defaults by simultaneously holding down the
Select and Online/Offline keys (for about 10 seconds)

There is no single correct way for everyone to allocate printer
memory. The factory default configuration might be the best for
your environment. Or, for example, if you use a large number of
PostScript fonts of various point sizes, you might want to increase
the amount of memory allocated to the memory client dedicated to
