The ability to configure your printer’s memory doesn’t necessarily mean that you must
change your current configuration. If you’re presently using all the features you need
and the printer is performing efficiently, you shouldn’t feel compelled to reconfigure
your printer’s memory. Just remember that if your printing needs change, not only do
you have the ability to increase the amount of printer memory, but you also can redis-
tribute it to best meet your printing requirements.

Managing the memory on your printer is much the same as managing your personal
income. In money management, you have a certain amount of income and many
ways of spending that income. You decide where that money goes according to what’s
important to you. Theres no single correct way to manage money, but there is one
best way for you according to your financial obligations. Just as long as your method
works for you.
The same is true for managing the memory on your printer. There’s no single correct
way for everyone to allocate available printer memory. There is, however, a best way
to configure your printer's memory for maximum efficiency in your specific printing
environment. For example, if you use a large number of PostScript fonts of various
point sizes, you may want to increase the amount of memory allocated to the area
specified for PostScript fonts. Or you may want to increase memory to the area that
minimizes slowdowns when collating large print jobs.
Memory configuration affects these things as well as the number of jobs that can be
accepted by the printer, the number of options available simultaneously, the number of
downloadable fonts and emulations that can be stored, and overall printer
performance.

Before you can configure your printers memory efficiently, you must first understand
the different types of memory and how they work together. Your QMS 3260/4032 Print
System documentation uses the following memory terms:

Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information. It’s the space within your
printer where information is stored while being processed.
