Configuring the Printer

Maximum Cache Size

This option is used to specify the maximum number of characters that can be

stored in the font cache.

The allowable range is 50 to 900 characters, in 50–character increments. The

default value for this parameter is 900 characters.

Maximum Cached Characters

This option is used to specify the size of the largest character that can be stored in

the font cache. To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:

horizontal
resolution

x

vertical

resolution

character

height (inches)

character

width (inches)

x

x

For example, if an application requires the use of a character that is 1 inch high

by 1 inch wide, calculate the Maximum Cached Characters value as follows:

300

x

300

1

= 11,250

Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 11,250. The closest

available value is 12 KBytes.

The allowable range is 1 KBytes to 20 KBytes, in 1–KByte increments. The

default value for this parameter is 1 KBytes.

Maximum Fonts Loaded

This option is used to specify the number of scalable font outlines that can be

concurrently loaded into RAM in the printer.

The allowable range is 1 to 20 fonts, in 1–font increments. The default value for

this parameter is 5 fonts.
