aa: | Size of the TrueType font storage area | |
| 00 to 03 (0 KB to 192 KB) | (in units of 64 KB) |
bb: | Size for bit map writable character storage area | |
| 00 to 03 (0 KB to 192 KB) | (in units of 64 KB) |
cc: | Size for BASIC file storage area |
|
| 00 to 03 (0 KB to 192 KB) | (in units of 64 KB) |
Ed: Indicates where the upper files are stored. d:
0:Flash ROM on the CPU board
1:Flash ROM on the memory board (Option)
(1)The storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board has a total capacity of 192 KB. If the memory board is available, the stored area increases as followings.
1MB: 00 to 16 (0 KB to 1024 KB)
2MB: 00 to 32 (0 KB to 2024 KB)
3MB: 00 to 48 (0 KB to 3072 KB)
4MB: 00 to 64 (0 KB to 4096 KB)
6MB: 00 to 96 (0 KB to 6144 KB)
8MB: 00 to 99 (0 KB to 8192 KB)
(2)If this command is received, the complete area in flash ROM on the CPU / memory board is cleared.
(3)If this command is not sent, the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU / memory board cannot be used.
(4)The storage areas are allocated in the following order – the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area. After these storage areas are allocated, the remaining area is used for the PC save area.
(5)If the sum of the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, is 192 KB, the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area are allocated as specified. However, the PC save area is not allocated.
(6)If the sum of TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, exceeds 192 KB, the TrueType font storage area is allocated first, as specified. Then, the remaining area is allocated to the bit map writable character storage area. If there is remaining area after the TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable character storage area are allocated, it is used for the BASIC file storage area. The PC save area is not allocated.
