Hi all,
Word application choses memory trasfer mode sometime and sometimes it is Native trasfer mode where as adobe always calls for memory trasfer.
why is it so?Hi namitha
Adobes Photoshop sets the xFer mode always to memory transfer regardless what the previous setting of the data source was. There are applications which are not setting this capability on therefore the underlying data source just remembers (or have his own default value) his last state. This might be the problem that Word sometimes starts up in Memory and on another instance in Native transfer mode.
Hi namitha:
First, let me ask you this question, How do you know that word once use native mode and once bufferred memory mode, and photoshop always use bufferred memory mode?
( I think you scan an image using word and then you use your application to query the source about it’s current transfer mode, and you do the same with photoshop )
please answer this question and specify the scanner model you use.
because I have a problem related to this subject.
About your question:
The transfer mode is native mode by default and the source can’t choose the transfer mode on it’s own. Because if the transfer mode is set to bufferred memory mode then the application (in your case word) has to query the source about the buffer size and then allocate that buffer in the memory and give the source the buffer address then the source fill it after that when the transfer is done the application has to deallocate that buffer.
so about why word use once native mode and once bufferred memory mode then that related to word itself I think.
I also have same experience – Word uses either of memory / native mode. I couldn’t recognize any pattern though. I used Kodak scanner which shows the mode of transfer while transferring the image.
But is it critical for you to know on what basis Word decides the transfer method. I guess it’s data size. But somebody more experienced may have answer.- AuthorPosts
