Transmit Buffer	Used to send ENQ, job, and upload
	responses. This buffer must be allocated as
	volatile (R) RAM.
Receive Buffer	Used to save data received from the host
	before it is processed by the printer.
	Changing this buffer size affects the amount
	of data the printer can receive without using
	flow control. This buffer must be allocated as
	volatile (R) RAM.
Image Buffer	Used to image the current format. Use the
	formula below to calculate the required image
	buffer size.
	10K x Length
	Length is the length of your label in inches.
Example	10K x 6 = 60K
	(Multiply by 10 and round up.)
	60K x 10 = 600
	Enter 600 for your Image buffer.
