ADVANCED MODE (TABLE 4-3)
Is the sub-menu of the Set Lock Key feature.
When this menu is displayed, simultaneously press the combination of keys desired to be the
new lock keys.
If the entry is valid, the display will read "Enter the new lock key again". Accurately repeat the
entry and "Lock key has been changed" will appear. In case of an error in the second entry,
"Validation Failed" will appear and the process must be begun again.
If the entry was invalid, the display will read "Invalid key selection" and another set of keys will

Is a menu option within the main menu of the ADVANCED MODE and allows advancement to the
Max Font Buffer sub-menu.
Allows selection of the maximum amount of DRAM to be allocated for downloading fonts (True-
Type, Scalable, Bit-Map). The range is from 100 to 800 KBytes. Factory default is 100 KBytes.
Maximum Cache Memory. This 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 the following equation:
(HS x VS x Average Height x Average Width x NumOf Char)/8
HS = horizontal resolution, VS = vertical resolution, Average Height = average character height in
inches, Average Width = average character width in inches, NumOf Char = number of characters
to be cached.
For most applications, the default settings for font memory is acceptable. Therefore, do not
change the defaults unless the application requires an uncommon memory configuration.
Maximum Cached Characters. This option specifies the size of the largest character that can be
stored in the font cache. To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:
(HS x VS x Average Height x Average Width)/8
HS = average character height in inches, VS = vertical resolution, Average Height = average
character height in inches, Average Width = average character width in inches, NumOf Char =
number of characters to be cached.
For most applications, the default settings for font memory is acceptable. Therefore, do not
change the defaults unless the application requires an uncommon memory configuration.
This menu entry permits the thickness or font weight of standard text fonts to be adjusted. The
range is 0 to 512, and the factory default is 340.
This menu entry permits the thickness or font weight of bold text fonts to be adjusted. The range
is 0 to 512, and the factory default is 448.
