Use the following table to see how much memory is available to
reallocate.
RAM* 9403 9805 9830/9835/9840 9850
Volatile RAM 256K 195K 770K 8 Meg
Non-volatile
RAM
NA NA 256K 512K
* You cannot reallocate more memory than what is available, or you will receive an error.
The 9820 printer does not have a memory expansion board like the 9830 printer does.
Consequently, the 9820 printer has less ability to handle complex data streams. Data
streams that work on 9830/9835 printers may not work on the 9820 printer and can
cause 409 (memory full) errors.
Checking Current Buffer Sizes
Send a configuration upload packet to check the sizes of your
current buffers. See "Configuration Packet Header" for more
information. After you check your current buffer sizes you can
begin reallocating memory.
If you want to increase your image buffer and you will not be
using scalable fonts, add that memory into your image buffer.
Example
{
I
,M,R,R,20 p
Receive buffer 2K
M,T,R,10 p
Transmit buffer 1K
M,D,N,80 p
Downloadable fonts 8K
M,V,R,160 p
Scalable fonts buffer 16K
M,I,N,3200 p }
Image buffer 320K
Make sure memory is available before adding memory to a buffer.
In the above example, if the image buffer (M,I,N,3200) was
defined before the downloadable fonts and scalable fonts buffers
(M,D,N,80 and M,V,R,160) were defined, an error would have
occurred.
