Updating Printer Memory - GCC Technologies Elite XL-20/600 User Manual

If you have to change the printer memory size, click on VMOption and select the
correct memory size from the drop-down list box. Answer Yes to the question about
available printer memory. Also, see the following section on upgrading printer
memory.

Updating printer memory

If you install additional memory in your printer, you must update the printer driver.
You do this by adjusting the Available printer memory setting at the top of the
Device Options page. When the Available printer memory figure is correct, your
computer will send files that print faster.
If you routinely download more than one or two fonts to the printer's memory, you
should also update your Available printer memory, even if you have not added any
extra memory to the printer. Download your normal font set and then update the
memory.
If you want to update the printer driver, you first have to copy a file to the printer,
using a DOS window (do not use Windows 95's Print command). This prints a page
that tells you the maximum suggested virtual memory for the printer. You then enter
the figure in this dialog box.
