Determine the maximum number of print jobs which may be buffered from displays at any
point in time. Enter this number in the worksheet titled Presentation Space Storage Memory
Worksheet.

ASCII Setup

Presentation Space Storage memory is used to save a session’s screen image when the session
enters ASCII Host Setup Mode. If no Presentation Space memory is available when an ASCII
Host session enters Setup Mode, the session data will be lost. The screen will be blank when
the session exits Setup Mode.

Determine the maximum number of sessions which may be in ASCII Host Setup Mode at any
point in time. Enter this number in the worksheet titled Presentation Space Storage Memory
Worksheet accessible from the previous topic.

ASCII Cut and Send

Presentation Space Storage memory is used to perform an ASCII Cut and Send Operation. If
no Presentation Space memory is available when an ASCII Host session attempts a Cut and
Send operation, the operation will result in an input inhibit condition.

Determine the maximum number of sessions which may be performing a Cut and Send
operation at once. Enter this number in the worksheet titled Presentation Space Storage Memory
Worksheet accessible from the previous topic.

LPD Server Presentation Memory Requirements

Presentation Space Storage memory is used to maintain LPD Server sessions until LPD prints
are either completed or aborted. This memory should be available if an LPD Print Server
Class is defined on the TCP/IP Print Server Classes panel.

If memory is not available when a print request is made, the print will be negatively
acknowledged and the TCP connection will be terminated. A 285_01 event will be logged to
indicate that Presentation Space buffers were unavailable.

To determine the amount of Presentation Space memory required, add up your total LPD
connections from the TCP/IP LAN Print Server Classes panel, plus the number of LPD Server
Sessions (designated by “S”) on the Device Profile Assignments panel, plus the number of
prints which could be queued. The number of prints which can be queued is the maximum
number of outstanding LPD Server prints you wish to allow.

Enter this number on the Presentation Space Storage Memory Worksheet.
