Minimum Frame Buffer Size for Imageable Area
The following table lists the minimum number of KB that must be
devoted to the frame buffer for all media size and resolution combina-
tions.
Also known as K Mem Display, this client stores compressed repre-
sentations, or blocks, of the pages to be printed. It takes approxi-
mately one compressed block for a normal 8.5" x 11" (215.9 mm x
279.4 mm) text page, four compressed blocks for an 8.5" x 11"
(215.9 mm x 279.4 mm) page that includes some graphics, and as
many as 500 compressed blocks for an extremely complex page.
Many pages of compressed blocks belonging to multiple print jobs
can be stored at the same time in the display list. If enough memory is
allocated to this memory client, a page can always be ready to print
as soon as another page has been imaged to the print engine.
