Memory Clients
7-13Memory Menu
memory client below its minimum setting. The range is 3072 to
307200 KB. The default value is 111056. If you change the K Mem for
PS Fonts value, the printer automatically restarts after you save your
changes and exit from the configuration menu
K Mem Disk Cache
Number of kilobytes of RAM dedicated to the disk cache. This mem-
ory client is also known as disk cache. It stores frequently used data
in system memory instead of continually storing and retrieving it from
a hard disk. If a hard disk is used and a lot of disk access is required,
adding memory to the disk cache may increase the printer's perfor-
mance. For example, if many fonts are stored on disk, faster access
to these fonts is achieved by increasing the disk cache size. Con-
versely, if no hard disk is used, the disk cache should be set to zero
until a hard disk is installed. However, when hard disks are installed
they are not available until the disk cache client is increased. The
range of possible values are 180 to 1016. The default value is 240. If
you change the K Mem for PS Fonts value, the printer automatically
restarts after you save your changes and exit from the configuration
menu
The amount of memory needed for the disk cache client is dependent
on the size of the disk, the number of disks, the number of subdirecto-
ries on each disk, the amount of memory dedicated to caching. As
long as there is enough memory in the disk cache, all disks are
accessible. If sufficient memory is allocated to the disk cache, some
disks may be seen while others are not.
The recommended amount of memory for the disk cache client is as
follows:
 20 KB internal usage
 0.5 KB per MB of disk storage total for all disks
 100 KB cache blocks
For example, the recommended disk cache client size for a single 344
MB hard disk would be 180 KB.
