Ram disk size

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.

Font downl. area
AP 5.4
AP 5.6
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 SD-card:
The font files must be placed in a folder named \fonts on the 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

•
Copy via Easy Plug command #DF (download file).
