IMPORTANT!

PRINTER MEMORY

To make good use of DS600C, it is recommended to install
at least 4 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.
