| 7142.1 | Buy another 8MB, its very cheap nowdays | NECSC::HARVEY | Printserver Support- America's Zone | Fri Apr 04 1997 12:13 | 18 |
| Mickwid,
The LPS17 printers were released with the minimum amount of
physical memory, 16MB. This 16MB will provide about ~590KB of virtual
memory. The major reason for this was when the LPS17 printer was
released PC memory was at its peak for memory prices.
Now the PC memory has hit rock bottom it is an easy solution to add
more memory. By adding another 8MB this provides 24MB physical and
~6.5MB virtual. This additional memory solves most of the limit check,
virtual memory problems seen with the LPS17.
I would not have the customer play with the /MaxFonCache valuse,
just have him obtain another 8MB memory simm.

Do you mean that LPS17 is using the memory which is similar to those of
PC memory (simm RAM, EDO, etc.)? Can the customer use those the memory
from their old PCs? I have to be aware on this if the customer can buy
memory from outside.
Thanks,
Mickwid.

| The simm used on the lps17 are the same as PC simms. You have to
have 70 NS simm, faster won't work, and you can't use anything larger
than 8 meg. The lps17/300 requires parity. The /600 dpi does not.

| Separate from the question of whether and what kind of memory to add
is the question of whether and when VM error or limit check will come back
for print jobs of this type.
The answer to that question is that they probably will, but it can't be
predicted from the information presented whether it will be page 201,
1000, or 9999.
The more important question is what version of LPS is in use?

LPS V5.1, downline load from an Alpha.
Thanks,

This means that the PostScript code is level 2, which is already the most
efficient version of the language that exists for memory management.
A file that has size-sensitive behavior in any level 2 environment will
probably always have some size sensitivity, regardless of the amount of
memory installed. It's a sign of bad memory management in the created
PostScript code, and it will almost always be just a metter of time (or pages)
until the next level of failure occurs.
