Formulas for calculating the theoretical requirement of SRAM memory
for a label:
[(Height in mm x 8) x (Width in mm x 8)]/ (1024 x 8) = Number of kilobytes required
or
[(Height in inches x 203.2) x (Width in inches x 203.2)]/ (1024 x 8) = Number of
kilobytes required
The printhead has a density of 8 dots per mm (203.2 dots per inch).
Because of the way the memory is organized, a slightly larger amount of
memory may be required.
Form Memory
The Form memory is for permanent storage of label forms in fl ash. A form
requires 1 kbyte or more of memory.
Graphics Memory
The Graphics memory is for permanent storage of label graphics in fl ash. Avoid
storing frequently changing graphics in fl ash using a GM command, but download
them directly to the image buffer using a GW command. The latter method is
quicker and prolongs the life of the fl ash memory.
Examples Resetting the memory via the serial port:
The example below formats the memory to allocate extra memory to the graphics
memory at the expense of the external fonts memory, whereas the size of the form
memory is retained at default value.
Note that the memory allocation values returned for example by a U command
may differ slightly from the values entered using an M command because of
certain round off calculations in the fi rmware. This should have few practical
consequences and can generally be ignored.
