Stores the image buffer in volatile RAM and allocates 153K for it.

Checking Current Buffer Sizes

Send a configuration upload packet to check the sizes of the buffers. See
Header" for more information. After checking the current buffer sizes, begin reallocating memory.
To increase the image buffer and not use downloaded fonts, add that memory into the image
buffer.
Example
{I,D,R,80 |
M,I,R,4400 |}
Make sure memory is available before adding memory to a buffer. In the above example, if the
image buffer (M,I,R,4400) was defined before the downloadable fonts (M,D,R,80) buffer, an error
would have occurred.

Image Buffer Used to image the current format. The printer supports two 4-inch by 8-inch
buffers. Images up to 16 inches long can be defined without reallocating
memory. The image buffer is cleared after a printer reset.
Use the formula below to calculate the approximate image buffer size.
Length is the length of the label in inches.
(Multiply by 10 and round up to the next whole number if necessary)
Enter 5250 for the Image buffer.
(Multiply by 10 and round up to the next whole number if necessary)
Enter 12305 for the Image buffer.
Note: The printer has a transmit, receive, and scalable fonts buffer that
are set to the maximum amount. These buffers cannot be
changed.

21K x Length (for 203 dpi) OR
46K x Length (for 300 dpi)
203 DPI Example
21K x 25 = 525
525K x 10 = 5250
300 DPI Example
46K x 26.75 = 1230.5
1230.5 x 10 = 12305
