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 through 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:
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:
Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 5,151. The closest
available value is 6 KBytes.
The allowable range is 1 KByte through 20 KBytes, in 1-KByte incr ements.
The default value for this parameter is 1 KByte.
Max Fonts Loaded
The Maximum Fonts Loaded option specifies the number of scalable font
outlines that can be concurrently loaded into DRAM in the printer.
The allowable range is 1 through 20 fonts, in 1-font increments. The default
value for this parameter is 5 fonts.
NOTE: The above calculations for Maximum Character Memory, Maximum
Cache Memory, and Maximum Cached Characters assume the
standard 203 dpi resolution.
Font Weight
The Font Weight option specifies the thickness or stroke weight of the text
fonts. The allowable range is 10 to 290, in increments of 1. The default values
define the stroke weight for Standard, Bold, and Extra Bold printin g.
Installed Fonts
The Installed Fonts option provides a list of all fonts currently loaded into
DRAM.
