Installing the printer 23
Bitmap buffer
This buffer defines a percentage of the total RAM memory that can be used as
the bitmap partition. This value will be set between two values, depending on
the RAM configuration.
The installed RAM can be divided into the following sections:
■
Bitmap partition
■
Processing area for files
The size of the bitmap partition determines the max. dimensions of the image
to be printed (e.g. 18 Mb = A0).
The size of the vector processing area determines the ability of the printer to
process complex files (e.g. larger number of vectors).
A high-percentage allocation to the bitmap partition allows printing of long
plots without windowing.
A low-percentage allocation to the bitmap partition enhances your ability to
process very complex files (vector and raster).
