memory into separate areas for image buffer, forms, graphics, and
external (soft) fonts.

p
3
Graphic memory area in whole kilobytes (Flash).
The remainder of the user-available part of the Flash memory will, after
allocation of form memory (p

) and graphics memory (p
2
), be allocated as soft
font memory.
Remarks The command to allocate the memory may have to be performed
to initialize the printer if the current memory areas are too small.
Note: The M command will also erase all forms and graphics and
return printer default settings.
Default Memory Allocation
The M command line will set the form memory area and the
graphic memory area in the printer’s built-in Flash memory.
The remainder of the Flash memory available to the user will
automatically be allocated to the external (soft) fonts memory,
which is intended for bitmap fonts downloaded using external
software. By default, the printer’s memory is allocated like this:
SRAM memory
Firmware: 120K Not available to the user
Print image buffer (p

): 392K Fixed size
Sum: 512K

Form memory (p
2
): 30K
Graphics memory (p
