Explanation (1) The storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board has a total capacity of 192 KB.
If the memory board is available, the stored area increases as followings.
1MB: 00 to 16 (0 KB to 1024 KB)
2MB: 00 to 32 (0 KB to 2024 KB)

(2) If this command is received, the complete area in flash ROM on the CPU / memory
board is cleared.
(3) If this command is not sent, the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU / memory
board cannot be used.
(4) The storage areas are allocated in the following order – the TrueType font storage
area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area.
After these storage areas are allocated, the remaining area is used for the PC save
area.
(5) If the sum of the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage
area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, is 192 KB, the
TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the
BASIC file storage area are allocated as specified. However, the PC save area is
not allocated.
(6) If the sum of TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage
area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, exceeds 192
KB, the TrueType font storage area is allocated first, as specified. Then, the
remaining area is allocated to the bit map writable character storage area. If there
is remaining area after the TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable
character storage area are allocated, it is used for the BASIC file storage area. The
PC save area is not allocated.
