Remarks for Temporary Solution 2:
1. Switching PDL to PS takes approximate 7 to 10 seconds.
When PS fonts download is enabled, the Euro symbol is temporarily downloaded to
the machine RAM at the first PS printing job, and whenever the PDL is switched from
RPCS or PCL to PS. The total download time is approximately 7 to 10 seconds. This is
because once the data is downloaded, it will remain in the RAM until the PDL is
switched or the power turned off.
2. Printing high image area documents at 1200 dpi may cause a memory overflow error
in machines equipped only with 32MB of memory (ex. Model-K P2).
This is because the PS fonts download feature uses approximately 800kB, which can
bring the amount of available memory close to capacity with the above printing
conditions.
Workaround:
! Printing at 600dpi may prevent an overflow, even with just the 32MB memory
installed.
! Changing the memory usage setting from “Frame Priority” to “Font Priority” may
prevent an overflow.
Permanent Solution
Modification of the font ROM on the ROM DIMM or the Controller Board, from October ’02,
production or later (details differ depending on the model). Specifically, the Euro currency
symbol has been added to the 112 fonts mentioned above.
Note:
1. When the new ROM DIMM or Controller Board is installed, it is not
necessary to
disable the PS fonts download feature (temporary solution).
2. An MB will be issued separately announcing the P/N change for the ROMM DIMM and
Controller Boards, and cut-in serial number.
