Max Font Buffer
The maximum amount of DRAM allocated to store the global font information
of any resident and downloaded scalable font (e.g. Intellifont, TrueType).
Each font contains its own global font information that is required for all
character generation from that font. Some fonts may require more font buffer
memory than others to generate characters. Insufficient font buffer memory
causes characters to be missing on the page and prints blank. If a font needs
more memory for character generation, increase the Max Font Buffer value to
allow the printer to print the missing character.
The range is from 100 to 1800 Kbytes, and the factory default is 100 Kbytes.
Max Cache Memory
The 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 on the printer flash. 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 x
The allowable range is 50 KBytes through 900 KBytes in 50-KByte
increments.
The factory default is 900 KB.
NOTE: For most applications, the default settings for font memory are
acceptable. Therefore, do not change the defaults unless your
application requires an uncommon memory configuration.
