Use memory wisely
When you design a print template, remember that the All-in-One has a fixed
amount of memory. The fonts and other attributes you choose for your dynamic
text fields and the placement of dynamic text fields in the print template have a
significant effect on the amount of memory your template will require.
To make the most efficient use of the memory available on the All-in-One,
observe the following rules:
• When two or more dynamic text fields will be placed horizontally beside each
other, place them at the exact same vertical location and use the same font
name, font style, font size, spacing and character width. This will result in
only one font being stored on the All-in-One. See
Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7.
• Limit the number of characters that are available for use in your dynamic text
field by making selections in the Printable Alpha Characters and Printable
Special Characters boxes in the Properties list located in the lower portion of
the window. For example, if only numbers will be printed in this field, set the
Printable Alpha Characters to
None and the Printable Special Characters to
None.
NOTE: For every unique combination of the following attributes in a dynamic text field, a font will
be stored on the All-in-One:
○ Vertical location
○ Font name
○ Font style
○ Font size
○ Spacing
○ Character width
Dynamic text fields can have different horizontal locations without creating additional unique fonts,
so it is possible to have many dynamic text fields on one template that share only one font.
NOTE: You may place static text fields in different vertical locations and use different text styles,
sizes, and other text attributes for static text fields without affecting the amount of memory used
on the All-in-One.
