Max Cache Memory; Max Cached Char - Printronix L5520 User Manual

Max Cache Memory

The Max ( 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 in Flash memory. The cache allows the printer to
print scalable fonts at optimum speed.
To calculate the memory requirement, use this equation:
horizontal vertical
resolution x
resolution
The allowable range is 50 KBytes to 900 KBytes, in 50 KByte
increments. The default value for this parameter is 900 KBytes.

Max Cached Char

The Max Cached Char (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:
horizontal vertical
x
resolution resolution
For example, if an application requires the use of a character that is
1 inch high by 1 inch wide, calculate the Maximum Cached
Characters value as follows:
Therefore, select a value that is equal to or greater than 11,250.
The closest available value is 12 KBytes. The allowable range is 1
KBytes to 20 KBytes, in 1-KByte increments.
The default value for this parameter is 1 KBytes.
