Updating the printer driver

After installing additional memory in your printer, it is a good idea to update

the printer driver to get maximum use out of the newly installed memory during

printing. The following procedure will enable you to adjust the Available

printer memory setting at the top of the Device Options panel. By adjusting

this number, the printer driver will be better able to process documents contain-

ing downloadable TrueType or other soft fonts.

Note: This update procedure should also be used if you routinely download more than

one or two fonts to the printer’s memory (regardless of whether you have upgraded the

printer’s RAM). You should download your normal font set and then perform the

procedure.

To update the printer driver after installing more memory:

1. Determine the printer’s new available memory setting.

Print the file TESTPS.TXT. This file is included with Windows 95 and is

located in the System folder within the Windows folder. For example, if

your printer is connected to LPT1 open a DOS window and type:

copy c:\windows\system\testps.txt lpt1

The printed file will indicate the maximum available virtual memory and

the maximum suggested virtual memory. You will use the suggested value.

2. Enter the new value.

At the top of the Device Options panel, there is a box labeled Available

printer memory (in KB); enter the suggested value from step 1 into this

box.
