4.7 Manipulating Memory Areas
Two types of memory exist in the Printserver - a temporary memory and a permanent memory (RAM
and FLASH respectively).
Settings downloaded to the temporary memory area may be saved in the permanent memory area.
Once they are saved, the Printserver will read these settings each time power is turned on, or when a
request to do so is registered.
4.7.1 The Three Levels of Settings
Three levels of settings exist in the Printserver at any time:
• The temporary memory area (RAM)
• The permanent memory area (FLASH)
• The factory defaults area
When the Printserver is running, it always reads the temporary memory settings. The two other areas
are used only when power is turned on, or when specific commands to use them are received.
4.7.2 Actions at Power-Up
When power is applied to the Printserver, the following happens:
1. The setup values in the permanent memory area are read into the temporary memory and
validated in order to determine if there are any valid settings in it. If the settings are valid,
normal operation is started using the settings just read.
