The table that follows shows the difference in memory allocation in page mode when using
monochrome and two-color paper. Two-color paper mode requires extra memory in order to
differentiate between non-black and black.
Paper type allocated (kBytes) Total memory Area of construction (mm)
Monochrome paper 40.5 72 wide × 72 high
Two-color paper 81.0 72 wide × 72 high (dots)
72 wide × 72 high (energy)
Exceptions
The command is enabled only when input at the beginning of a line.
The command has no effect if page mode has previously been selected.
For the A756 emulation mode this command has a different definition. The select page mode function
is not available in the A756 emulation mode.
