About Memory Buffers ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Transmit Buffer Used to send ENQ, job, and upload
responses. A minimum of 5 is required.
The maximum is 40. This buffer must be
allocated as volatile (
R ) RAM.
Receive Buffer Used to save data received from the host
before it is processed by the printer.
Changing this buffer size affects the
amount of data the printer can receive
without using flow control. A minimum of
20 is required. The maximum is 320. This
buffer must be allocated as volatile (
R )
RAM.
Image Buffer Used to image the current format. You
can increase or decrease the default label
length by manipulating this buffer. A
minimum of 385 is required. The
maximum is 2295. The Image Buffer is
cleared after a printer reset, even if it is
stored in non-volatile RAM.
You
must have the Optional RAM installed
to create labels longer than the default.
See Chapter 2, "Designing a Format," for
the default label lengths. An image up to
11.75 inches can be created on the
9494/9490/9446 printers by increasing this
buffer. However, the maximum image size
for the 1460 printer/applicator is 7.5
inches. (The size of the tamp pad
determines the maximum label size
available for the 1460 printer/applicator.)
n
You may not be able to use scalable or downloadable fonts if
you have increased the image buffer by reallocating memory
from these buffers into your image buffer.
