Memory Allocation; Memory Expansion; Memory Calculation Worksheet - Sam4s ER-5215M Operator's And Programming Manual

Memory Allocation

The memory allocation program determines how memory is divided to support the following features:
NOTE: Using the clerk interrupt feature requires allocation of at least one guest check for each clerk
and sufficient soft check lines to support the interrupted transaction (i.e. if 20 soft check lines are
allocated, a transaction with up to 20 lines can be interrupted.) See system option flag # 26 to select
clerk interrupt operations instead of table management (check tracking) operations.

Memory Expansion

One or two expansion RAM memory chips can be added. Total Available memory bytes:
Default
With 1 expansion RAM
With 2 expansion RAM 1,235,720

Memory Calculation Worksheet

Before beginning the memory allocation program, you may wish to complete the following memory
worksheet to verify that the memory variables you wish to use will be accommodated in the
ER-5200M/5240M memory. Your memory calculation cannot exceed 187,144 bytes with default
memory.
