Printer Memory
The printer has both RAM and flash memory. You can use one or
both types of memory, depending on how you use your printer.
Using RAM
Use RAM for temporary storage. It is volatile; the contents are
LOST when you turn off the printer. The printer has 2MB of RAM.
RAM can contain formats, graphics, batches, and fonts. In the
header of each packet, you specify to send it to RAM. See
Chapter 3, "Defining Fields," for more information. Then,
download the packets to the printer from a host device.
