Specific Printing Environment Example
Since configuring memory is not an exact science, it may be helpful to
see how others in various printing environments have allocated their
printer memory to meet their printing needs best. The following exam-
ples are to be used only as a guideline for configuring your own
printer's memory.
Example
A QMS 1660E Print System with 12 MB of RAM. As many as 35 peo-
ple use this printer, sending text and graphics PostScript files to be

x 431.8 mm) media. They have configured their printer to print at
600x600 dpi.
