IMPORTANT!
PRINTER MEMORY
To make good use of DS310F, it is recommended to install at least 1 MB
of memory in your printer. If you want to print your document using
Quality mode - 600 dpi as your Copy Quality mode, you need to add more
RAM for your printer as using this feature requires more processing time
and memory.
See the following chart for printer memory recommendations.
It is strongly recommended that you refer to the following table to ensure
a successful color copy.
Copy Quality Document Size Min. Printer Memory
Normal Letter Size
Legal Size
Quality Letter Size
Legal Size
1 MB
2 MB
4 MB
6 MB
If there is not enough memory in your printer, you may probably
encounter either the printer does not print or the print quality is bad.
