Introduction

Important!

The Flash DIMM option kits allow downloading PCL fonts and forms to the
printer. How these fonts and forms are used in printed documents depends on
the particular operating system and software application in use. This requires
programming experience and an understanding of embedding control codes,
which is beyond the scope of this software and documentation.

Introduction 1

General Information

The Flash DIMM card can be used to store fonts and overlays (PCL Macros),
both of which are downloaded to the DIMM using the Storage Device Manager
(SDM) software supplied on the CD with the kit.

Fonts

Fonts in either of the following formats can be stored:

• .ttf (TrueType fonts)

• .sfp (PCL bitmap fonts)

Overlays: PCL Macros

Overlays such as

• letterheads

• logos

•forms, etc.

can be stored on the Flash DIMM, then used in printed documents.

card or the optional Postscript emulation card.

1. Turn off the printer, and disconnect the power cord and interface cable.

2. Remove the access panel from the back of the printer:

appear, showing the memory (8 or 16 MB) of the Flash DIMM you installed.

Note: If it does not appear, repeat the above steps and be sure the Flash

DIMM is in the correct slot and is pushed in completely at both ends
(you’ll hear it snap up into place). Then reprint the MenuMap and
check for Flash Memory again.

(If the CD does not autorun, click Start → Run → Browse. Browse to

your CD-ROM drive and double-click Install.exe, then click OK.)

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

3. Exit the Menu Installer.

PCL Macro Control Codes

The following table summarizes the control codes for PCL macros.

For a complete list of control codes supported by the printer, see the Reference
PDF file in the root directory of the CD supplied with the Flash DIMM.

Command Explanation

ESC&f#Y Macro ID

# = ID number (number you assigned to the macro when
creating it).

Note: If you don’t know the ID number, print the File List
using Storage Device Manager (click Printers → Print

the double colon before the file name for the macro; e.g.,
for 5::logo.bin, the ID number is 5.
