Chapter 1 Printer Overview

The printer combines the use of Flash, RAM, and nonvolatile RAM for
program execution. The Flash is used for all program, font, and
emulation storage. New fonts, emulations, or program updates can be
downloaded to Flash memory via the parallel or serial interface. The
RAM is used for buffers, print image storage, and execution variables.
The non-volatile RAM stores configuration, statistics, and internal
parameters.
Refer to the following table for a complete listing of model numbers and
options.
