Using the Printer Memory Efficiently
To receive the best performance from your printer, you must understand how to use the
printer memory. The following sections can help you determine the most efficient way
to use your printer memory.
How Is the Printer Storage Memory Used?
There is enough storage memory in the printer to store several different label formats
and still retain enough memory to store downloaded fonts, graphics, and data. Be
careful of how you use your printer memory.
The printer uses flash memory for storing tables, pages, formats, fonts, and user-defined
characters (UDCs). The 3400e printer has 128K of flash memory available for storage.
If you require additional storage memory, you can purchase flash SIMM for the printer.
The printer supports these parameters independent of the amount of memory installed
or allocated by the printer:
•
Maximum number of formats: 99
(You can edit formats 1 to 99. You cannot edit default format 0.)
•
Fields per format: 200
•
Maximum data buffer size for a field: 3550
•
Maximum number of UDCs: 100
•
Maximum number of user-defined fonts: 16
Making the Most of Your Memory
There are limits to the number of formats, fonts, graphics, or pages that you can store in
the printer. You can define up to 16 fonts, but there may not be enough room depending
on the amount of memory being used for other purposes. The more formats, graphics,
and fonts you store, the less memory is available.
When you run into a memory usage problem, use PrintSet to see how much memory
remains available. You must upload the memory information from the printer first.
Refer to the PrintSet online help for more information.
