Chapter 3 PRINTER CONTROL
Glob Mem Adjust
This menu allows you to adjust the ratio of global memory allocated to label
size vs. PGL forms, fonts, and logos. For example, when using short labels,
you can allocate more memory to forms, fonts, and logos by increasing the
Glob Mem Adjust value. The default settings and adjustment ranges depend
upon the amount of installed printer DRAM and are listed below.
NOTE: You can find the amount of installed DRAM in two ways: listed at the
top of your configuration printout under “DRAM” or viewed from the
control panel via the DIAGNOSTIC menu under System Memory.
Max Cache Memory
The Maximum Cache Memory option specifies the size of the memory block
that can be allocated to the font cache. The font cache stores bitmaps that are
created on demand from the font outlines stored on the printer flash. The
cache allows the printer to print scalable fonts at optimum speed.
To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:
The allowable range is 50 KBytes through 900 KBytes in 50-KByte
increments.
The factory default is 900 KB.
NOTE: For most applications, the default settings for font memory are
acceptable. Therefore, do not change the defaults unless your
application requires an uncommon memory configuration.
Max Cached Char
The Maximum Cached Characters option specifies the size of the largest
character that can be stored in the font cache. To calculate the memory
requirement, use this equation:
