The RAM diskcan be used in the same way as the Compact Flash Card, e.g. for storage oflogos or fonts.With the parameter Ram disk size, the customer can set the size of the RAMdisk to his needs. Be aware, that RAM disk memory is not available for printpicture buildup. Use of much RAM disk memory reduces the picture builduprate of the printer. Switching the printer off extinguishes the memory content! Fonts, logosetc., which were loaded on the RAM disk, must be loaded again afterswitching the printer off.xxxx KBytes Setting range: 128 KBytes to the maximum size, which depends on the mem-ory configuration and allocation of the printer; Unit interval: 128 KBytes; De-fault setting: 512 KBytes. See also parameter PRINT INFO > Memory status.Font downl. area64-xx ALX 92x DPM PEM ALX 73x (PMA)If speedo-fonts are supposed to be used, they have first to be copied to a re-served RAM disk area. Use parameter „Font downl. area“ to reserve the RAMdisk area in the required size.The size of the required RAM disk area depends on the size of the font filesto be loaded. Mind to reserve a big enough RAM disk area!There are two ways to copy the font files to the RAM disk:• Copy from CompactFlashcard:The font files must be placed in a folder named \fonts on theCompactFlashcard during system startup. The files must be namedfontxxx.spd (xxx = No. from 200 up to 999).CAUTION!The parameter Print contrast affects directly the life durance of the printhead. Itcounts: „The higher the setting of Print contrast is, the lower is the life duranceof the printhead“. This counts even more for settings above 100%.Therefore mind: Always choose the lowest possible setting necessary to produce an accep-table print result.
