QMS 1660E Print System Getting Started 1-14
User Benefit—The ability to control your printer from a remote con-
sole as well as from the printer’s own control panel means you don’t
have to leave your workstation every time the printer needs attention.
Moreover, you’ll know right away if the printer is tied up with a media
jam or other simple problem requiring user intervention.
PCMCIA Card Slots
The two PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association) card slots on the right side of the printer under the output
tray support PCMCIA Release 1.0 Type I and Type II cards. The right
slot also supports Release 2.0 Type I and Type II cards.
User Benefit—Both slots support font and security cards (see the fol-
lowing section, “Printer Options,” for details).
Printer Options
The following options are available for your QMS 1660E Print Sys-
tem. Contact your QMS vendor for purchase information.
Upgradable RAM (Random Access Memory)
The QMS 1660 Print System comes in three configurations:
n
12 MB of RAM
n
24 MB of RAM
n
48 MB of RAM and 1200x1200 dpi daughterboard
However, you can upgrade this RAM to 64 MB through the installation
of SIMMs (single in-line memory modules). Additional RAM allows
you to print at higher resolutions on certain media sizes, download
and cache fonts, and attach and use multiple hard disks. Additional
RAM also increases the printer's buffer (the area where data sent
from the host computer is stored), allowing you to send large data-
intensive files to the printer without tying up the host for long periods.
