M4. buffer size Buffer size in 1/10K ranges. Options:

5 - 40 Transmit (10 is the default)

20 - 160 Receive (40 is the default)

160 - 1142 Image (389 is the default)

160 - 1280 Format (160 is the default)

640 - 1280 Downloadable Fonts (640 is the default)

10 - 1280 Scalable Fonts (640 is the default)

Note: For the scalable font buffer, specify 10 if you do not use the buffer. When using the buffer, specify a minimum of 40.

The larger the number you specify for the image buffer, the longer your formats can be. As a rule of thumb, divide the value you select by 100, and round up to the next whole number. That number will be the length in inches.

Example {I,M,I,R,1530 p }

Stores the image buffer in volatile RAM and allocates 153K for it.

Send a configuration upload packet to check the sizes of your current buffers. See "Configuration Packet Header" for more information. After you check your current buffer sizes you can begin reallocating memory.

If you want to increase your image buffer and you will not be using scalable fonts, add that memory into your image buffer.

Example

{I,M,R,R,20 p

Receive buffer

2K

 

M,T,R,10 p

Transmit buffer

1K

 

M,D,N,80 p

Downloadable fonts

8K

 

M,V,R,160 p

Scalable fonts buffer

16K

 

M,I,N,3200 p }

Image buffer

320K

Make sure memory is available before adding memory to a buffer. In the above example, if the image buffer (M,I,N,3200) was defined before the downloadable fonts and scalable fonts buffers (M,D,N,80 and M,V,R,160) were defined, an error would have occurred.
