Physical Memory
Physical memory refers to the amount of RAM installed in the printer.
Virtual Memory
Virtual memory extends the effective size of the printer’s memory by
using a disk file or swap file to simulate additional memory space. It
enables the hard disk to accept data swapped from RAM to free tem-
porarily the RAM for other tasks.

Evaluation of Your Printing Environment
The first step in allocating your printer’s memory is to define your
printing needs. Each of your printer’s features requires a minimum
amount of memory. If you use a feature, you must allocate enough
memory to the client which controls it. On the other hand, if there are
features you don’t use, you can take the memory in the clients that
control the unused features and assign it to other clients that need
additional memory.
