Max Font Buffer
The maximum amount of DRAM allocated to store the global font information of any resident an
dow nloaded scalable font (e.g. Intellifont, TrueType). Each font contains its own global font
info rmation that is required for all character generation from that font. Some fonts may require

The range is from 100 to 7200 Kbytes, and the factory default is 400 Kbytes.
Ma x Cache M emory
The Maximum Cac he Memory option specifies the size of the memory block that can be allocated
to the font cache. T he 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
spe ed. To calculate the memory required, use this equation:
Horizontal resolution x vertical resolution x character height (inches) x character width (inches) x
# of characters to be cached / 8
The allowable range is 50 KBytes to 3600 KBytes, in 50 KByte increments. The default value for
this parameter is 1800 KBytes.
Maximum 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:
Horizontal resolution x vertical resolution x character height (inches) x character width (inches)
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:
300 x 300 x 1 x 1 = 11,250
8
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 8 KBytes.

Enable. The ^PY or ^PN can occur anywhere in a line.
The factory default is Disable.
