Using the Printer Memory Efficiently

To receive the best performance from your printer, you must understand how
to use the printer RAM. The following sections can help you determine the
most efficient way to use your printer memory. It is important to remember
that using a lot of available memory for storage, reduces the amount of memory
used for imaging. The end result is a decrease in printer performance.

How Is the Printer RAM Used?

There is enough RAM in the printer to store several different label formats and
still retain enough memory to store downloaded fonts, graphics, and data. Be
careful of how you use your printer memory.
The printer uses static RAM for storing tables, pages, formats, fonts, and user-
defined characters (UDCs). Any RAM you are not using for storage is available
for imaging. For the 3400 and 3600 printers, use PrintSet to adjust the amount of
RAM allocated for storage purposes. If you require additional RAM, you can
purchase a memory expansion option. See Appendix A for memory expansion
information on your printer model.
The printer supports these parameters independent of the amount of static
RAM installed or allocated by the printer:
