Hi.

Anyone know what purpose the BeginFeature: *InstalledMemory xMB command
serves?

I'm seeing it in the raw spool file of PS print jobs sent from a
Windows computer.  The value matches the "Total Printer Memory" setting
in the Windows printer definition's Properties-->Device Settings.

Does it somehow affect how a PS printer will process the job?  If it's
set improperly (too high or too low) is this a bad thing?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

That's not a command. At a guess it's a comment. PostScript comments
start with a % and run to the end of the line.

The line matches something you'd expect to see in the PPD. The print
processor might use this information to decide how to manage memory in
a print job. There are strategies that reduce memory consumption,
which will produce a larger print file.
