M – Memory Allocation
Description Th is command is used to allocate or partition the printer’s
memory into separate areas for image buff er, forms, graphics, and
external (soft) fonts.
Syntax
Mp

Parameters p
1
Fixed image buff er area (SRAM). Some value must be entered, but it will be
ignored.
p
2
Form memory area in whole kilobytes (Flash).
p
3
Graphic memory area in whole kilobytes (Flash).
The remainder of the user-available part of the Flash memory will, after
allocation of form memory (p
1
) and graphics memory (p
2
), be allocated as soft
font memory.
Remarks Th e command to allocate the memory may have to be performed
to initialize the printer if the current memory areas are too small.
Note: Th e M command will also erase all forms and graphics and
return printer default settings.
Default Memory Allocation
Th e M command line will set the form memory area and the
graphic memory area in the printer’s built-in Flash memory. Th e
remainder of the Flash memory available to the user will auto-
matically be allocated to the external (soft) fonts memory, which
is intended for bitmap fonts downloaded using external software.
By default, the printer’s memory is allocated like this:
SRAM memory
Firmware: 120K Not available to the user
Print image buff er (p
1
): 392K Fixed size
Sum: 512K
Flash Memory
Firmware: 778K Not available to the user
Form memory (p
2
): 30K
Graphics memory (p
3
): 30K 214K available to user
Soft fonts memory: 154K
Sum: 992K
