#Memory problems
2 messages in this thread
Hi, we've got a problem. (Of course!) Recently we picked up a Citizen
GSX-140 printer with the color option specificly for Pro-Write. Works like
a charm with your program except for one thing. It's running on a 2.5 meg
A1000, 68010 using the EpsonQ driver. When we print in 360X180 color the
ram gets trashed. Using AVAIL while printing shows that the largest block
available goes from 1,300,000 bytes down to 40 while printing. If the
memory is partially fragmented before printing the machine will just crash
when it gets to a graphic. Ever heard of this one?

Bill,
That's a new one on me. When printing in graphics mode, ProWrite will
(depending upon Page Setup settings) typically use about 170K of graphics
memory–which it promptly gives back when done. Certainly your memory
should not go from 1300K to 40 bytes!
I'll give this a try at work on an Epson LQ (I don't have a Citizen GSX).
What version of ProWrite do you have? Also, you mention it has a problem
when it gets to a piture. How large are the pictures you are printing?
