Printronix L5035 user manual Printer Configuration Activating Font Memory Options, Max Char Memory

Chapter 3 Printer Configuration

NOTE: The Font Memory Menu is not available in the PCL5 emulation. For most applications, the default settings for font memory are acceptable. Therefore, do not change the defaults unless your application requires an uncommon font memory configuration.

Activating Font Memory Options

After selecting any of the “Font Memory” options, perform the following steps to activate the new value:

1.Save your configuration changes. See the Config. Control menu option “Saving Configurations” on page 64.

2.Change the power-up configuration to match the configuration you just saved. See the Config. Control menu option “Power-up Configuration” on page 79.

3.Turn the printer power off and then on again.

Max Char Memory

The Maximum Character Memory option specifies the size of the largest character that can be printed. To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:

horizontal	x	vertical	x	character	x	character
resolution		resolution		height (inches)		width (inches)
				8

For example, if an application requires a character that is 7 inches high by 4 inches wide, calculate the Maximum Character Memory value as follows:

300 x 300 x	7 x	4	= 315,000
8

Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 315,000. The closest available value is 350 KBytes.

The allowable range is 50 KBytes to 900 KBytes, in 50-KByte increments. The default value for this parameter is 300 KBytes.
