Chapter 3 Printer Configuration
102
NOTE: The Font Memory Menu is not available in the PCL5
emulation. For most applications, the default settings for
font memory are acceptable. Therefore, do not change the
defaults unless your application requires an uncommon
font memory configuration.
Activating Font Memory Options
After selecting any of the “Font Memory” options, perform the
following steps to activate the new value:
1. Save your configuration changes. See the Config. Control
menu option “Saving Configurations” on page 64.
2. Change the power-up configuration to match the configuration
you just saved. See the Config. Control menu option “Power-up
Configuration” on page 79.
3. Turn the printer power off and then on again.
Max Char Memory
The Maximum Character Memory option specifies the size of the
largest character that can be printed. To calculate the memory
requirement, use this equation:
For example, if an application requires a character that is 7 inches
high by 4 inches wide, calculate the Maximum Character Memory
value as follows:
Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 315,000.
The closest available value is 350 KBytes.
The allowable range is 50 KBytes to 900 KBytes, in 50-KByte
increments. The default value for this parameter is 300 KBytes.
