MENU

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the sub-menu of the Set Lock Key feature.

 

 

 

When this menu is displayed, simultaneously press the combination of keys desired to be the

 

 

 

new lock keys.

 

 

 

If the entry is valid, the display will read “Enter the new lock key again”. Accurately repeat the

 

 

 

entry and “Lock key has been changed” will appear. In case of an error in the second entry,

 

Select a new

 

 

lock key

 

“Validation Failed” will appear and the process must be begun again.

 

 

 

If the entry was invalid, the display will read “Invalid key selection” and another set of keys will

 

 

 

 

 

 

have to be chosen.

 

 

 

The new lock key designation will remain in effect even if the printer is powered off and then on

 

 

 

again. Press the FUNCTION key to exit the Advanced Mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is a menu option within the main menu of the ADVANCED MODE and allows advancement to the

 

 

 

Max Font Buffer sub-menu.

 

 

 

 

ADVANCED MODE

 

 

 

 

 

Max Font Buffer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allows selection of the maximum amount of DRAM to be allocated for downloading fonts (True-

 

 

 

Type, Scalable, Bit-Map). The range is from 100 to 800 KBytes. Factory default is 100 KBytes.

 

 

 

 

Max Font Buffer

 

 

 

 

 

100 KBytes*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maximum Cache Memory. This 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 the following equation:

 

 

 

 

 

Max Cache Memory

 

(HS x VS x Average Height x Average Width x NumOf Char)/8

 

900 KBytes*

 

 

 

HS = horizontal resolution, VS = vertical resolution, Average Height = average character height in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

inches, Average Width = average character width in inches, NumOf Char = number of characters

 

 

 

to be cached.

 

 

 

For most applications, the default settings for font memory is acceptable. Therefore, do not

 

 

 

change the defaults unless the application requires an uncommon memory configuration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maximum Cached Characters. This option specifies the size of the largest character that can be

 

 

 

stored in the font cache. To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:

 

 

 

(HS x VS x Average Height x Average Width)/8

 

 

 

 

 

Max Cached Char

 

HS = average character height in inches, VS = vertical resolution, Average Height = average

 

01 KBytes*

 

character height in inches, Average Width = average character width in inches, NumOf Char =

 

 

 

number of characters to be cached.

 

 

 

For most applications, the default settings for font memory is acceptable. Therefore, do not

 

 

 

change the defaults unless the application requires an uncommon memory configuration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This menu entry permits the thickness or font weight of standard text fonts to be adjusted. The

 

 

 

range is 0 to 512, and the factory default is 340.

 

 

 

 

Standard Chars.

 

 

 

 

 

340*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This menu entry permits the thickness or font weight of bold text fonts to be adjusted. The range

 

 

 

is 0 to 512, and the factory default is 448.

 

 

 

 

Bold Chars.

 

 

 

 

 

448*
