	Chapter 3. Configuring the Printer

	Use the formula below to calculate the
	required image buffer size.
	19.13K x Length
	Length is the length of your label in inches.
Example	19.13K x 6 = 114.78K
	(Multiply by 10 and round up.)
	114.78K x 10 = 1147.8
	1147.8 = 1150
	Enter 1150 for your Image buffer.
Format Buffer	Used to store formats, batch data, and
	graphics. A minimum of 160 is required.
	The maximum is 2295. 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.
Downloadable	Used to store downloaded soft
Fonts Buffer	(bitmapped) fonts. A minimum of 80 is
	required. The maximum is 2295. To
	determine the size of your downloadable
	fonts, send a font packet. See "Using the
	Font Packet" for more information.
