permanently, which means that the fonts remain stored in DRAM memory until the
printer is powered off. When the printer is powered off, the fonts are erased.
Flash Memory
Flash Memory is used to store fonts that are downloaded from the operating system
(this enables fonts to be used that are not resident on the printer). Flash memory
enables fonts to be available permanently until you remove the fonts from flash
memory. This is useful if you use a custom designed font or a unique font that is used
in many print jobs. Storing the font on flash memory improves print performance.
Flash memory has an advantage over DRAM memory in that the fonts are not erased,
even if the printer is powered off, until you send a command to the printer to erase the
fonts.
There is one slot provided for flash memory. You can order either a 2 MB or 4 MB
Flash SIMM.
Hard Drive
Supports processing of print jobs and storage of fonts. Fonts can be stored on the hard
drive which enables the printer to print fonts that are not resident on the printer. The
optional 2.5 inch hard drive supplies 810 MB of storage. You can install only one hard
drive on the printer controller. The hard drive can be used with printer memory to
manage fonts and help improve print processing.
If you use many large fonts, such as those fonts that support Japanese (Katakana), you
may want to store those fonts on a hard drive instead of downloading the fonts to
DRAM or FLASH memory.
