4.3.1 Operating Memory

The printer operates using the currently selected values contained in

operating memory. When the printer is powered on, it loads the values

stored in NVRAM into operating memory. When you select new values

(through escape sequences or from the control panel), they are placed in

operating memory and become part of the printer settings that are currently

in use. Figure 4–3 shows the operational flow between the different types

of memory.
