M4. buffer size Buffer size in 1/10K ranges. Options:
5 - 40 Transmit (10 is the default)
20 - 160 Receive (40 is the default)
160 - 1142 Image (389 is the default)
160 - 1280 Format (160 is the default)
640 - 1280 Downloadable Fonts (640 is the default)
10 - 1280 Scalable Fonts (640 is the default)
Note: For the scalable font buffer, specify 10 if you do not
use the buffer. When using the buffer, specify a
minimum of 40.
The larger the number you specify for the image
buffer, the longer your formats can be. As a rule of
thumb, divide the value you select by 100, and round
up to the next whole number. That number will be the
length in inches.
Example
{
I
,M,I,R,1530
p
}
Stores the image buffer in volatile RAM and allocates 153K for it.
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.
