I just bought the 32K upgrade memory buffer chip for my Panasonic KX-P1124
pri and I'd like to know who sells downloadable fonts for said device. By
By the way, for those of you considerpicking up the extender chip, it do
doesn't seem to iase the text buffer at all; it simply allows you to
download fonts. Maybe you already knew this; it came as a bit of a surprise
to me.
Anyway, does anyone know who I cocontact for fonts for this
printer? Addresses/phone numbers of such places would be much appreciated.
Thanks in adva

I think what is happening is that the buffer is indeed working for text, but that the printer is sufficiently fast, relative to the speed at which it is receiving data, that the buffer fills slowly. I'm going to have to check this out..... > Anyway, does anyone know who I cocontact for fonts for this >printer? Addresses/phone numbers of such places would be much appreciated.

You have two settings for the use of the chip, which are changed when you are in the initial set-up mode (turn the printer on while holding the FUNCTION and ON LINE switches). If row 7, function 6 (see chart in manual) is ON, then the DLL buffer is on. Pansonic gave me the following program to see how the buffer is working, which, you, too can use! 10 CLS 20 PRINT : PRINT : PRINT : PRINT : PRINT 30 PRINT " This program allows you to determine the approximate size" 40 PRINT " of your printer's buffer.
