In Device Settings > Memory, type or select the amount of total installed memory by clicking the up and down arrows until the text box shows the correct number of megabytes (MB).
If your printing system includes the Auto Configure feature, you can use it to obtain information about the memory size.
RAM Disk
The RAM disk functions as a virtual hard disk, saving print requests into the printing system’s memory. Because the RAM disk is temporary memory, all data stored there is lost when the power is turned off.
In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as a restricted user.
Note: RAM disk requires additional printing system memory. After installing the memory, set the RAM disk in Device Settings > Device options.
If selected, the Ignore application collation feature in the Compatibility
Settings dialog box lets the driver control collation. RAM disk can then increase the print speed of collated multiple copies by sending the print job just once.
Setting RAM Disk
You can set the RAM disk to save print requests into the printing system’s memory.
1
At the printing system's operation panel, turn on RAM disk and set its size.
2
In Device Settings > Device options, select RAM disk.
3
In the RAM disk text box, type or select the desired RAM disk size. Click the up and down arrows until the text box shows the correct number of megabytes
(MB) available physically on the operation panel.
The maximum RAM disk size depends on the amount of installed memory.
Administrator Settings
Administrator Settings lets you set options that include controlling accessibility, displaying features in the interface and setting a password to control access to the Administrator Settings options. Selections vary according to printing system model.
In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as a restricted user.

Send Count Information
This option lets you embed count information in the print job, which can be used by some applications for accounting purposes. Count information includes the number of copies produced as well as duplex printing, multiple pages per sheet, color mode, color page count, and paper size values.

To enable this feature, in Device Settings > Administrator Settings >
General, select Send Count information.
Send Application Name
This option lets you send the application name with a print job, so that a different printing process is used for each application. Some third party print accounting programs use this information to calculate print totals based on application type.
This option is unavailable if PDF is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box.
To enable this feature, in Device Settings > Administrator Settings >
General, select Send Application name.
Associate Profile with Application
This option lets you set all printing from each installed application to use the same driver settings as defined in a profile. Before using this feature:
A profile must be created in the Profiles dialog box, accessed from any
Printing Preferences tab.

Application Based Printing dialog box, accessed from the Profiles dialog box.
To enable this feature, in Device Settings > Administrator Settings >
General, select Associate Profile with application.

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of rules that govern the management of network devices, such as printing systems. These settings determine the level of security when using the Auto Configure feature, and prevent unauthorized printing to the SNMPv3 printing system. SNMP settings must be set in the printer driver and in the printing system's embedded web server.
The following options are available:
SNMPv1/v2c
This option ensures successful Auto Configure communication using Read
community name and Write community name.
SNMPv3
This option ensures secure Auto Configure communication using a user name and password. Authentication and privacy options are available by selecting Settings.
Apply to other models
This option displays a list of installed printing systems to apply the selected settings.
You can select options for secure communication with the printing system.
Authentication
This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived intact. Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) are hash algorithms used to authenticate packet data.
