◆
Send all buffer (re)allocations in one packet. The printer
evaluates each individual buffer allocation separately. If one
buffer allocation is invalid, the entire packet is invalid. For
example, if you send
{
I
,M,R,N,20
p
M,T,N,60
p
...}
the printer ignores the entire packet, because the second line
allocates 6K for the transmit buffer, and 4K is the maximum for
that buffer. If you define a buffer size that exceeds the
maximum value, an error occurs. However, no information is
lost.
◆
Whenever the printer accepts a memory configuration packet,
it takes effect immediately, causing a printer reset. Any
information contained in the buffers is lost. Resend your
formats, batches, graphics, or fonts to the printer.
◆
If you remap your image buffer, make sure the length and
width specified in your format header are not too large for the
current image buffer. In other words, if you remap for a 2 x 6
inch label, you cannot print a 2 x 8 inch label without receiving
an error, until you change your format header or increase your
image buffer.
Memory Considerations with Downloaded TrueType
Fonts
◆
The size of the TrueType font file, in bytes, is the minimum
amount of memory you must have available in the
downloadable fonts buffer.
◆
The scalable (vector) fonts buffer is used to image the
downloaded fonts (TrueType). If you are using several
downloaded TrueType fonts, you may need 100K or more in
this buffer. The printer does not print the fonts if there is not
enough memory in the scalable (vector) fonts buffer.
◆
To use large point sizes (greater than 60 point), you must
reconfigure memory and increase the size of the scalable
(vector) fonts buffer.
