Using the Printer Memory Efficiently
To receive the best performance from your 3440 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.
How Is the 3440 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 3440 printer uses static RAM for storing tables, pages, formats, fonts,
and user-defined characters (UDCs). The 3440 printer has 256K of static
RAM available for storage. If you require additional storage memory, you
can purchase flash SIMM for the printer.
The printer supports the following parameters independent of the amount
of static RAM installed or allocated by the printer:
• Maximum number of formats: 99
(You can edit formats 1 to 99. You cannot edit default format 0.)
• Fields per format: 200
• Maximum data buffer size for a field: 3000
• Maximum number of UDCs: 100
• Maximum number of user-defined fonts: 16
