Appendix C Upgrading the printer’s memory
C-8 Appendix C
Updating the Windows driver
After installing the additional memory, it is a good idea to update the Elite XL
Windows driver to get the maximum use out of the newly installed memory
during printing. The following procedure will enable you to adjust the Virtual
Memory (KB) setting, located in the Advanced options dialog box of Print
Setup Options. By adjusting this number, the Windows driver will be better
able to process documents with downloadable TrueType or other soft fonts.
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). Download your normal font set and then perform the update
procedure.
To update the Windows driver:
1. Determine the printer’s new virtual memory configuration.
After installing the new memory, print the file TESTPS.TXT. This file is
located in your Windows SYSTEM directory. For example, if your printer
is connected to LPT1, type:
copy c:\windows\system\testps.txt lpt1
The printed file will indicate the maximum printer virtual memory and the
maximum suggested virtual memory. You will use the suggested value.
2. Open the Main group from the Program Manager window.
3. Open the Control Panel .
4. Open Printers .
5. Click Setup….
6. Click Advanced….
7. Enter the suggested virtual memory value into the Virtual Memory
(KB) option box.
8. Close all windows.
