Max Cache Memory

The Maximum Cache Memory option specifies the size of the memory block that can be allocated to the font cache. The font cache stores bitmaps that are created on demand from the font outlines stored in Flash memory. The cache allows the printer to print scalable fonts at optimum speed.

To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:

horizontal	vertical	average character		average character	x	# of characters
resolution x	resolution x	height (inches)	x	width (inches)		to be cached
		8

The allowable range is 50 KBytes to 900 KBytes, in 50 KByte increments. The default value for this parameter is 200 KBytes.

Max Cache Size

The Maximum Cache Size option specifies the maximum number of characters that can be stored in the font cache.

The allowable range is 50 to 900 characters, in 50-character increments. The default value for this parameter is 900 characters.

Max Cached Char

The Maximum Cached Characters option specifies the size of the largest character that can be stored in the font cache. 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 the use of a character that is 1 inch high by 1 inch wide, calculate the Maximum Cached Characters value as follows:

300 x 300 x 1 x 1 = 11,250

8

Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 11,250.

The closest available value is 12 KBytes.
