The Frame Buffer memory client holds rasterized or bitmapped images of page faces which are ready to be sent to the print engine. A frame holds the contents of each single page image. For example, a 600 dpi page printed on letter size paper would consume frame buffer memory space as follows: (600dpi x 600dpi x 8.5 in x 11 in) /8 = 4,207,500 bytes or 4.1 MB. 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 does 300x300 dpi. 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 hard disk 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 most complicated printing conditions in your environment. Menu options allow you to specify the largest media size at the resolution you plan to use. Memory is then automat- ically allocated to the clients. Size is returned in Kilobytes.
