Adding Plus Features to a standard Phaser 840 — Upgrade Kit Z840FP

Installing the Z840FP upgrade provides the printer with

board, referred to as a SCSI riser board. The presence of the SCSI riser board and the extra memory enables faster image processing, higher resolution 1200 x 600 dots-per-inch High Resolution/Photo printing and automatic duplex for two-sided printing. With the upgrade, the printer also supports image pipelining for faster print job throughput and Check Print Preview for prooﬁng the ﬁrst print of a job. The SCSI interface allows connecting a scanner and an external hard drive to the printer. With either an internal or external hard drive attached, the Plus upgrade enables fast print collation.

32 Mbytes of additional memory and a SCSI interface
