Because the Frame Buffer memory is so critical to the actual printing of a page, its
allocation takes precedence over that of other memory clients. The number of frames
needed to print at engine speed is engine specific and depends on the size media and
resolution. For example, printing at 600x600 dpi requires four times the amount of
memory in the frame buffer than printing at 300x300 dpi.
This table shows the minimum required memory for the Frame Buffer for various page
sizes simplex or duplex. These values allow the printer to print at its rated speed. The
minimum required memory for Frame Buffer will print correctly but may not print at the
rated engine speed.
If you are uncertain about how to configure your printer’s memory, use only the
Administration/Memory/QuickConfig menu. This menu appears if your printer does not
have a disk drive attached or if the disk swap option is disabled. Use this menu as a
starting point before trying manually to configure your printer’s memory. It provides a
simple method of defining how much memory should go to each of the clients for the
