Storage

Options

automatically increases the disk cache size. See the “Memory” section in chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” for more information.

nIf your printer has more than 12 MB of RAM, increase the disk cache size (Administration/Memory/K Mem Disk Cache menu) to 256 KB. See the “Memory” section of chapter 4, “Printer Configu- ration,” for more information.

After you have enabled disk swapping or increased the disk cache size, you must restart the printer and print a status page to ensure that the disk cache size has been increased. (Notice that VM remaining memory has also been automatically increased.)

Installing an Optional Font

Optional fonts can be installed in two ways:

nYou may use optional fonts by inserting the font card in one of the card slots below the printer's paper cassette. However, when you remove the font card from the card slot, you can no longer use those fonts. This procedure is covered in the “Using a Font Card” section found earlier in this chapter.

nYou can install (copy) the contents of a font card to a hard disk if one is available. The procedure that follows describes how to install the font card on your hard disk. Once the fonts are stored on the hard disk, they can be downloaded to the printer's memory when needed for printing.

▲Caution: If you install the contents of a font card to a hard disk, any optional fonts of the same type are overwritten. The original optional fonts must be downloaded again before you can access them. For example, optional PostScript fonts on the hard disk are overwritten by the PostScript fonts on a PostScript font card.
