4. Selecting the Printer Settings 4-8 RAM disk settings RAM Disk In this machine, it is possible to create a RAM Disk, or a portion of memory that is used as a virtual disk. By creating a RAM Disk of a desired size from among the total memory in the printer, it is possible to perform electronic sorting (which shortens the overall time required for printing) as well as to save data to and retrieve data from that disk very quickly. The RAM disk function is not available when the optional hard disk is installed. [Proof and Hold] and [Stored job print out] of the e-MPS function (P4-48) are available. IMPORTANT! The RAM Disk is created from that portion of the printer's memory that is normally available to the user. Thus, if the size of the RAM disk created is too large, printing speed may actually be decreased or the machine may run out of available memory. WARNING: Resetting the printer or turning the main switch OFF will erase all data written to the RAM Disk. The factory default setting for the RAM Disk is "Off" . In order to create a RAM Disk, make the necessary settings as shown below. About the RAM disk settings It is possible to perform RAM disk settings for the 10 items shown in the following chart.
