Updating the printer driver
After installing additional memory in your printer, it is a good idea to update
the printer driver to get maximum use out of the newly installed memory during
printing. The following procedure will enable you to adjust the Available
printer memory setting at the top of the Device Options panel. By adjusting
this number, the printer driver will be better able to process documents contain-
ing downloadable TrueType or other soft fonts.
Note: This update procedure should also be used if you routinely download more than
one or two fonts to the printer’s memory (regardless of whether you have upgraded the
printer’s RAM). You should download your normal font set and then perform the
procedure.
To update the printer driver after installing more memory:
1. Determine the printer’s new available memory setting.
Print the file TESTPS.TXT. This file is included with Windows 95 and is
located in the System folder within the Windows folder. For example, if
your printer is connected to LPT1 open a DOS window and type:
copy c:\windows\system\testps.txt lpt1
The printed file will indicate the maximum available virtual memory and
the maximum suggested virtual memory. You will use the suggested value.
2. Enter the new value.
At the top of the Device Options panel, there is a box labeled Available
printer memory (in KB); enter the suggested value from step 1 into this
box.
