VARIABLE ALLOCATE
Function Reserves space in the image buffer for stored
objects.
Explicit Form
Implicit Form
VARIABLE ALLOCATE nnn.
V ALLOCATE nnn.
Parameters
nnn
Amount of memory reserved for
stored objects, in whole kilobytes.
The allowable range is 0 to 128.
Comments Flash RAM normally holds all stored objects
(graphics and stored formats). The printer reserves
all available standard RAM for the text buffer and
image buffer. This may not be the best use of
standard RAM in some applications. VARIABLE
ALLOCATE lets the programmer to put stored
objects in part of the image buffer.
When using this command, send it to the printer
with VARIABLE WRITE in a nonprinting label
format. Do not use this command in stored label
formats.
NOTE: Changing the memory allocation in the image
buffer or text buffer will delete any objects stored in
those areas.
Example The label format below will reserve 4 kilobytes (kb)
in the image buffer for object storage:
! 0 0 0 0
VARIABLE ALLOCATE 4
VARIABLE WRITE
