Avery Dennison ADTP1 - Checking Current Buffer Sizes; About Memory Buffers

Configuring the Printer 2-19
Buffer Type Default Range
Image Volatile 330K 41.5K – 3047K
Downloadable Fonts Volatile 64K 8K- 3014K
Formats Volatile 155K 16K- 1126.4K
Note: The printer has a transmit, receive, and scalable fonts buffer that
are set to the maximum amount. These buffers cannot be
changed.
Example {I,M,I,R,1530 | }
Stores the image buffer in volatile RAM and allocates 153K for it.
Checking Current Buffer Sizes
Send a configuration upload packet to check the sizes of the buffers. See “Configuration Packet
Header” for more information. After checking the current buffer sizes, begin reallocating memory.
To increase the image buffer and not use downloaded fonts, add that memory into the image
buffer.
Example
{I,D,R,80 | Downloadable fonts buffer 8K
M,I,R,4400 |} Image buffer 440K
Make sure memory is available before adding memory to a buffer. In the above example, if the
image buffer (M,I,R,4400) was defined before the downloadable fonts (M,D,R,80) buffer, an error
would have occurred.
About Memory Buffers
Image Buffer
Used to image the current format. The printer supports two 4-inch by 8-inch
buffers. Images up to 16 inches long can be defined without reallocating
memory. The image buffer is cleared after a printer reset.
Use the formula below to calculate the approximate image buffer size.
21K x Length (for 203 dpi) OR
46K x Length (for 300 dpi)
Length is the length of the label in inches.
203 DPI Example
21K x 25 = 525
(Multiply by 10 and round up to the next whole number if necessary)
525K x 10 = 5250
Enter 5250 for the Image buffer.
300 DPI Example
46K x 26.75 = 1230.5
(Multiply by 10 and round up to the next whole number if necessary)
1230.5 x 10 = 12305
Enter 12305 for the Image buffer.
