Memory Size
The Splash Server must have adequate memory to function as a high-performance
print server or scanner workstation. If your Splash Server CPU uses the minimum
required memory (24 MB system memory) you may need to quit the Splash Server
application to run other applications on the Splash Server computer.
If you add memory to your system, you can optimize printing efficiency in
several ways:
■ Enterprise Networking is configured to support up to three Novell NetWare
print queue connections and four TCP/IP connections to Splash. You must
install additional memory on the Splash Server computer to support additional
IPX and TCP/IP print queues (about 100K per additional print queue).
See “Setting Up TCP/IP and NetWare Direct Printing to Splash” in the
Splash Reference on-line manual for information about how to set up Novell
NetWare print queues for printing to Splash.
■ The optional Color Central Lite package includes the Sampler application.
If more memory is available to the Sampler, it will be able to open larger color
image files.
■ As shipped by Adobe, the Adobe Photoshop memory partition is set to 13 MB.
For optimum performance, RAM available to Adobe Photoshop should be
three times the size of the image file. For example, when working with a 10MB
image file, Adobe Photoshop should have 30MB of RAM available. If there is
not sufficient RAM available, Photoshop will temporarily store the color image
data on the hard disk drive instead of RAM. This reduces performance for
Adobe Photoshop when used for image processing.
■ The following minimum application memory configurations are
recommended for use with the Splash Server:
■ Splash Server: 8.8 MB minimum
■ Enterprise Networking: 1.028 MB minimum
■ Splash ColorCal: 2.7 MB minimum
■ Optional Color Central: 2.5 MB minimum
■ Optional Sampler: 1.5 MB minimum
■ Adobe Photoshop: 13 MB minimum
IMPORTANT: The Virtual Memory option for your computer must remain off in
the Memory control panel while you use the Splash Server application.
