The application can use the @PJL INFO MEMORY command to check the size of total free memory and
the largest free memory block in the printer.
The free memory size may vary according to the personality (printer language). In order to know the free
memory size in PCL, use the <ESC>*s1M (Free Space command) in the PCL status readback commands.
