Memory
QMS 1725 SLS Print System User's Guide 2-48
increase memory to the area that minimizes slowdowns when collat-
ing 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 avail-
able simultaneously, the number of downloadable fonts and emula-
tions that can be stored, and overall printer performance.
Memory Terms
Before you can configure your printer's memory efficiently, you must
first understand the different types of memory and how they work
together. Your QMS 1725 SLS Print System documentation uses the
following memory terms:
Hard Disk
The QMS 1725 SLS Print System comes standard with an internal
hard disk and has the option of upgrading to a larger internal hard
disk (up to 512 MB) and adding up to six external drives.

SCSI.
Memory
Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information. It’s the
space within your printer where information is stored while being
actively worked on.
Memory Client
A memory client is a function that has a dedicated block of memory.
Each memory client controls certain features. When insufficient mem-
ory is allocated to a specific client, the features it controls may not be
accessible.
Excess Memory Client
The memory remaining after providing all the other memory clients
with their specified amounts of memory is automatically added to the
excess memory client. The frame buffer is the excess memory client
for the QMS 1725 SLS Print System.
