RAM Disk Mode (Using the RAM disk)
The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer memory that 
can temporarily store print jobs. T he stored print job can then be used to 
print multiple copies of the job reducing the total amount of time required 
to print the whole job. It acts similar to the hard disk except that the data 
is effective only when the printer is powered up.
To use the RAM disk, activate and enter the desired size of the RAM disk 
in the manner described below. The maximum RAM disk size can be 
calculated as follows:
When the RAM disk is activated = The maximum RAM disk size is 16MB 
(when no options are attached)
When the optional memory is installed = The maximum RAM disk size is 
1/2 of the total optional memory installed
To activate RAM disk in the printers memory, first you must set the RAM 
disk mode to  On and set the desired data size for the RAM disk as 
described in the following section. This allows you to perform the 
following operations on the RAM disk.
>>Ready
? Off
>>Error
? On
Note  The printer supports two types of storage device: optional 
hard disk and RAM disk. The hard disk is installed into the 
dedicated slot on the printer. The RAM disk is an allocated part of 
the printer’s memory.
