Memory Allocation, cont'd.
Form Memory
The Form memory is for permanent storage of label form. To
calculate memory requirements, estimate 1K of memory per form.
(A regular simple label form will use less than 1K and an extensive
form might use over 1K). If you are using an editor, you can estimate
by checking your file size and add 0.1K. Round off to the next
highest even number.
Graphics Memory
If your form has graphics, you need to estimate graphics memory
requirements. (The same graphics can be used on one form or in
multiple forms and still just take up one space in memory). Use the
file size of the PCX file or files in DOS. The graphics memory
requirement is the same as this file size. Round off to the next
highest even number.
Factory Setting
The EasyCoder 71 printers are factory delivered with 252K of
available memory. Expansion of the basic memory runs in multi-
ples of 128K, up to maximum 508K.
The memory is initialized, or the Memory Cartridge Battery is
activated, by pulling the “battery protection strip”. The printer is
now set to the following default values.
