ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for adaptively allocating random access memory (RAM) in an multifunctional peripheral (MFP) device with a plurality of components. The method comprises: supplying an interface; and, in response to interface prompts, selecting the allocation of RAM for MFP features or components. Typically, the MFP device includes fax, scanner, printer, and copier components, and the method further comprises selecting the allocation of RAM for MFP components selected from the group including fax, scanner, printer, or copier. The method further comprises: selecting the allocation of RAM for MFP features selected from the group including post script (PS) documents, printer control language (PCL) documents, tagged image file format (TIFF) documents, or portable document format (PDF) documents.Supplying an interface includes supplying front panel graphical user interface (GUI) to present RAM allocation options, and selecting the allocation of RAM for MFP functions in response to interface prompts includes allocating portions of RAM in response to GUI prompts. Alternately, the MFP is connected to a computer workstation with a display. Then, supplying an interface includes receiving a request from a browser loaded on the computer workstation and, from an embedded web server in the MFP, supplying a GUI to the computer workstation display, presenting RAM allocation options.
