Module Identifiers, Field Limits, Print Resolutions, & Column Values

Module Identifer	Memory Type
A	DRAM (default size: 256 K Bytes)
B	Flash[1]
C	Default (A or B Module, as assigned by <STX>X)

1The availability/size of the Internal Flash Module is dependent upon the installed font option (expandable with the Flash Memory Expansion Option) and available Flash memory; reference the Configuration Label, or following the <STX>KC command the “INTERNAL FLASH MODULE PRESENT” message. The Flash memory has limited writes and is intended for permanent (or semi-permanent) storage of downloaded images, fonts and label formats.

Table J-1: Module Identifiers

Printer Model	Maximum Format Fields[2]	Total Characters for all Fields
All E-Class Models	450	16,000

2When the product of the number of fields and characters in each field exceeds the available printer memory (the limiting factor), portions of the label may not print.
