Linecount x 50/1024 | Monarch 9850, 9825, 9403 manual

Format Buffer	Used to store formats, batch data, and
	graphics. Use the following formula to
	calculate the required format buffer size:
	Linecount x 50/1024
	Linecount is the number of lines in your
	format packet including the format header
	and all the options.
	The result of the above calculation is in
	kilobytes.
	On the 9825 and 9850 printers, formats
	remain in memory when you turn off the
	printer.
Downloadable	Used to store downloaded soft (bitmapped or
Fonts Buffer	TrueType) fonts. To determine the size of
	your downloadable fonts, send a font packet.
	For TrueType fonts, the file size, in bytes, is
	the minimum amount needed in this buffer.
	See "Using the Font Packet" for more
	information.
Scalable (Vector)	Used to image the scalable or downloaded
Fonts Buffer	(TrueType or bitmapped) font characters.
	Increasing this buffer size allows more
	characters to be saved in cache memory, so
	the characters do not have to be re-built the
	next time they are printed. Use 0 if you are
	not using scalable/TrueType fonts. This buffer
	must be allocated as volatile (R) RAM.
	The printer does not print the fonts if there is
	not enough memory in this buffer to image
	them.
	Not all printers support the scalable font.
