Keep these items in mind when allocating memory.

Do not allocate more memory than what is available.

Free memory from one buffer before you add it to another buffer.

Reallocate all the buffers if you need to reallocate any buffer.

Send all buffer (re)allocations in one packet. The printer evaluates each individual buffer allocation separately. If one buffer allocation is invalid, the entire packet is invalid. For example, if you send

{I ,M,R,N,20 p M,T,N,60 p

...}

the printer ignores the entire packet, because the second line allocates 6K for the transmit buffer, and 4K is the maximum for
