To use the SC-210 as a copier, it is recommended that
you follow these tips:

PRINTER MEMORY
To realize the full functionality of the SC-210, it is recommended to install
adequate memory in your laser printer. If you want to print your document
using Quality mode - 600 dpi as your Copy Quality mode, you may 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
16 MB
32 MB
Quality Letter Size
Legal Size
32 MB
64 MB
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.
