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 “Save Configuration” on page 57.
2.Change the
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 vertical character character resolution X resolution X height (inches) X width (inches)
8
For example, if an application requires a character that is 4 inches high by 2 inches wide, calculate the Maximum Character Memory value as follows:
203 X 203 X 4 X 2
8
= 41,209
Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 41,209. The closest available value is 50 KBytes.
The allowable range is 50 KBytes through 900 KBytes, in 50 - KByte increments. The default value for this parameter is 300 KBytes.
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 on the printer flash. The cache allows the printer to print scalable fonts at optimum speed.
To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:
|
| average | average |
|
horizontal | vertical | character | character | # of characters |
resolution X | resolution X | height (inches) X width (inches) X to be cached | ||
