IMPORTANT!

PRINTER MEMORY

To make good use of QMS SC-200, 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.

3-3

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	4MB
	Legal Size	8 MB
Quality	Letter Size	16MB
	Legal Size	20MB

If there is not enough memory in your printer, you may probably encounter the following results:

1.The printer does not print.

2.The print quality is bad.
