Font ROM Modules
Font ROM Modules contain additional fonts that extend the
capabilities of the Internal Fonts. Each Font ROM Module comes
with documentation detailing the type and sizes available on the
module and the font number of each size used in label formatting.
Font ROM Modules are programmed at the factory and cannot be
modified later for any other purpose.
256K and 512K RAM Modules
RAM Modules are the most flexible module option for the Printer.
They provide temporary storage of data used in label-format
printing. Each module contains 256K of data storage for fonts,
graphic images or label formats.
An additional feature of the 512K RAM Module is that the Printer
will use a part of its memory to extend the Printer’s bit-mapped
label length from 8.25" (210mm) to 20.25" (514mm).
256K Flash EEPROM Module
Flash EEPROM Modules provide the same features of RAM
Modules with the added benefit of virtually permanent storage. A
Write Protect Switch on the Flash EEPROM Module can protect data
stored on the cartridge from being overwritten or erased.
Cutter
The Printer can be ordered with an Optional Cutter and tray for
cutting tags and labels, or the option can be installed at a later date.
This option can be easily attached to the Printer and once installed
can be enabled by turning ‘on’ switch 8 located on the back of your
Printer.
