Use these basic guidelines when storing files in your printer’s
flash memory.
◆ Your printer may have volatile RAM (packets deleted when the
printer is turned off), non-volatile RAM (packets saved when
the printer is turned off), and flash memory (packets saved
when the printer is turned off). Each printer has a different
limit of available memory.
◆
Before you save any packets in flash memory, you must format
flash memory first. See "Formatting Flash Memory" for more
information.
◆
Formats, graphics, and check digits can be saved in flash (but
they are also duplicated in RAM). Any packets saved in flash
cannot exceed the memory available in RAM.
◆
Fonts are stored differently in flash. For example, the 9825
printer has very limited flash font memory and one TrueType
font may exceed that limit. If you print TrueType or
double-byte Asian fonts, use a 9855 or 9860 printer with the
extended memory option.
◆ There is not a 1-to-1 ratio between the memory in your printer
and the memory in your PC. For example, a file that is 5K in
Windows may require 15-20K to store in your printer.
◆ When using graphics, use the lowest-resolution graphic
possible. If your printer uses a 203 dpi printhead, the
graphic’s resolution should be 150 to 200 dpi. In fact, 96 dpi
may work. Try to create the smallest file size possible.
◆ Use temporary storage for graphics that are only used once or
twice. However, if you have a logo that is used on multiple
formats, save the graphic in flash. Once again, try to create
the smallest file size possible for your graphic.
◆ Each line in a packet requires the same amount of memory.
The smaller the format, the less memory required to save it.
