= SUMMARY =

The following is a list of Word printer driver limitations:

Description Size Limit ———– ———-

Number of font descriptions 64 Sizes per font 127 Largest font size in halfpoints 255 Number of width tables 128 Number of translation tables 32 Number of cCSDs per translation table 255

If a printer driver is too large, Word gives an “Insufficient memory” message when trying to load it.

If a large number of width tables are defined, memory space can be saved by turning on the WidthTSwap flag in the header of the printer driver. Then, when the printer driver is loaded, only one width table at a time is stored in memory.
