For application efficiency in GP PGL or IGP VGL it is best to store a form in the printer and then execute it with dynamic data rather than send the entire form each time RS 232 Serial Interface Also if possible eliminate sending white space spaces or tabs at the end of lines if it is not necessary Memory intensive applications may require an adjustment to the allocation of global memory for optimal performance This may include applications where e the form length is greater than 24 inches e agreat number of forms or fonts are being used interchangeably e the printing resolution is 400 dpi Refer to the L5020 Maintenance Manual or contact a qualified service representative for details on adjusting the global memory RS 232 Serial Interface This interface is used with bit serial devices compatible with EIA RS 232E or CCITT V 24 standards The interface circuit characteristics are compatible with the Electronic Industry Association Specification The printer is configured as Data Terminal Equipment DTE The serial data transfer baud rate is selectable from the control panel The input format consists of a single start bit 7 or 8 data bits and one or two stop bits The operator can set the number of data bits from the control panel The data bits are interpreted with the least significant bit first The operator can also set parity checking via the control panel The printer interface uses a first in first out
7. Max Cache Memory The Maximum Cache Memory option specifies the size of the memory block that can be allocated to the font cache The font cache stores bitmaps that are created on demand from the font outlines stored in Flash memory The cache allows the printer to print scalable fonts at optimum speed To calculate the memory requirement use this equation vertical average character average character of characters resolution X _height inches X width inches X to be cached 8 The allowable range is 50 KBytes to 900 KBytes in 50 KByte increments The default value for this parameter is 200 KBytes Max Cache Size The Maximum Cache Size option specifies the maximum number of characters that can be stored in the font cache The allowable range is 50 to 900 characters in 50 character increments The default value for this parameter is 900 characters Max Cached Char The Maximum Cached Characters option specifies the size of the largest character that can be stored in the font cache To calculate the memory requirement use this equation vertical character character X resolution x height inches x width inches 8 For example if an application requires the use of a character that is 1 inch high by 1 inch wide calculate the Maximum Cached Characters value as follows 300 x 300 x 1 x 1 11 250 8 Therefore select a value that is equal to or greater than 11 250 The closest available value is 12 KBytes 87 Cha
