MEMORY Category The INFO MEMORY command returns the total number of
bytes of free memory space and the largest free memory
block.
Note To determine the amount of memory available for a
particular personality, use the personality command
instead of the INFO MEMORY command. For example, to
find the amount of memory available for PCL 5, use the
Free Space command (<ESC>*s1M). See the PCL 5 Printer
Language Technical Reference Manual for more information
about PCL status readback.
