A part of the printer memory can be identified as a RAM disk. The RAM disk
can be used in the same way as the Compact Flash Card, e.g. for storage of
logos or fonts.
With the parameter Ram disk size, the customer can set the size of the RAM
disk to his needs. Be aware, that RAM disk memory is not available for print
picture buildup. Use of much RAM disk memory reduces the picture buildup
rate of the printer.

Switching the printer off extinguishes the memory content! Fonts, logos
etc., which were loaded on the RAM disk, must be loaded again after
switching the printer off.
xxxx KBytes
Setting range: 128 KBytes to the maximum size, which depends on the mem-
ory configuration and allocation of the printer; Unit interval: 128 KBytes; De-
fault setting: 512 KBytes.

CAUTION!
The parameter Print contrast affects directly the life durance of the printhead. It
counts: „The higher the setting of
Print contrast
is, the lower is the life durance
of the printhead“. This counts even more for settings above 100%.
Therefore mind:

Always choose the lowest possible setting necessary to produce an accep-
table print result.
