When the band size is calculated by the RIP, the size of the band is influenced by the /MaxBandMemory system parameter (a float) measured in mebibytes, which controls the maximum memory set aside for band rendering. The band height is reduced until a single band fits within /MaxBandMemory. The band height is calculated to use as many lines as possible within the given memory.

For more information, see Raster band control and RendererThreads (system param).

Default: 1.5 MBs (per thread).
