How does the amount of printer memory affect print capabilities?
Thermal printers map the entire label image in memory before printing, thus the amount of available memory limits the maximum label size. You can calculate the memory required to print a given label by multiplying the label’s printed area width by its height (in dots) and dividing the result by 8192. The result is in kB. Not all printer memory is available for label image storage. A small portion of memory (typically 4 kB) is used to store the raw ASCII data, and some memory is required for temporary variable storage and other housekeeping chores.
