PRINTER CONTROL
Ptx Setup Parse
•
Enable . Will parse and execute the PTX SETUP commands.
•
Ignore . Will parse the PTX SETUP commands but not act on them.
•
Disable . Will not parse the PTX SETUP commands so they will print out
as text.
The factory default is Enable.
Page Mem Adjust
Page Mem Adjust should be set to the longest form length used on the printer.
User applications that are less than or equal to the default setting of 24 inches
do not need to modify the value. The value resets to the default when the
printer firmware is downloaded and/or the printhead (203 DPI or 300 DPI) is
changed.
The default is 24 inches, the minimum setting is 12 inches, and the maximum
setting is 99 inches. The values adjust by 1 inch increments.
Max Font Buffer
The maximum amount of DRAM allocated to store the global font information
of any resident and downloaded scalable font (e.g. Intellifont, TrueType).
Each font contains its own global font information that is required for all
character generation from that font. Some fonts may require more font buffer
memory than others to generate characters. Insufficient font buffer memory
causes characters to be missing on the page and print blank. If a font needs
more memory for character generation, increase the Max Font Buffer value to
allow the printer to print the missing character.
The range is from 100 to 1800 Kbytes, and the factory default is 100 Kbytes.
Max Cache Memory
The Maximum Cache Memory option specifies the size of the memory block
that can be allocated to the font cache. The font cache stores bitmaps that are
created on demand from the font outlines stored on the printer flash. The
cache allows the printer to print scalable fonts at optimum speed.
To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:
The allowable range is 50 KBytes through 900 KBytes in 50-KByte
increments.
The factory default is 900 KB.
