Font downl. area

If speedo-fonts are supposed to be used, they have first to be copied to a re-
served RAM disk area. Use parameter „Font downl. area“ to reserve the RAM
disk area in the required size.
The size of the required RAM disk area depends on the size of the font files
to be loaded.

Mind to reserve a big enough RAM disk area!
There are two ways to copy the font files to the RAM disk:
•
Copy from CompactFlash SD- card:
The font files must be placed in a folder named \fonts on the
CompactFlash SD- card during system startup. The files must be named
fontxxx.spd (xxx = No. from 200 up to 999).

For details refer to the „Plugin-card manual“, topic section „Application“, para-
graph
CF/SD-cards  .
•
Copy via Easy Plug command #DF (download file).

More information about the #DF command: See manual „Easy Plug“, topic

xxx 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: 256 KBytes

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.
Free store size

By setting this parameter, a part of the memory is reserved, which the printer
firmware can use if necessary (dynamic memory allocation). If this memory
area is dimensioned too small, the printer firmware can not work and the error
message „8856 Free store size“ shows up.

The more memory is allocated using this parameter, the less memory is
available for print jobs.
xxx KBytes Setting range: 4 MB to the maximum size, which depends on the memory
configuration and allocation of the printer; Unit interval: 128 KBytes; Default
setting: 4 MB.

A good advice is to increase the set value step by step, starting with the mi-
nimum of 4 MB, until the status message 8856 ("Free store size", what means
the memory area is low) does no longer appear during data conversion.
