from the printer's front panel or through the PPD.
If you use the PPD, you can select the levels of gray and gamma
settings simultaneously. Gray level and line screen combinations of
enhanced screens are defined as:

Font Accelerator and RAM Disk

Font Accelerator uses a percentage of available RAM disk to store
fonts for quick system access. Font Accelerator automatically loads
the most recently used fonts from the printer's optional hard disk into
the RAM disk. This eliminates time usually required to access fonts
from the hard disk.
The feature can be enabled only on systems with 12 MB or more of
RAM, an optional hard disk, and with RAM disk set to at least 1
MB. See the "Font Accelerator Menu" and "The RAM Disk Menu"
in chapter 5. The printer must be restarted before Font Accelerator
becomes active.
Once Font Accelerator is active, it automatically updates the RAM
disk at runtime with the most recently used fonts. This update occurs
when the printer is in a READY/IDLE state. The front panel window
displays READY/FONT ACCEL during the update.
