  • Page 115 '  Increasing the memory allocated to this client allows more complex jobs to print and increases the number of fonts that can be downloaded to virtual memory. However, this client should be increased only if you receive a virtual memory error when attempting to print a job or download a font, and even then it should be increased only in small increments until the error message goes away.

Also known as Host Input and K Mem for Spool, this memory client stores incoming data from all the interfaces until the emulation can process the print job.
