DP N24, N32 and N40 System Administrator Guide
Flash Memory SIMMs An additional Flash SIMM of 8 MB is available. You can
essentially increase the resident fonts of the printer or create
resident macros by installing Flash SIMMs and downloading
resources permanently to this memory. Flash Memory SIMMs are
installed in the same way as RAM SIMMs and in the same slots.
See Appendix C: Installing and Removing Printer Options.
Hard Disk Drive Option An optional Hard Disk Drive is also available, and is used for
storing fonts, forms and macros, enabling secure and proof job
printing and automatic collation of multiple sets of a document. See
Chapter 5: Using the Hard Disk Drive / Downloading Fonts and
Jobs for more information about the Hard Disk Drive. See
Appendix A: DP N40 Ordering Information to order more printer
memory or the Hard Disk Drive.
Finisher
The finisher option can be installed only on console versions of the
DP N40 (i.e., versions which have the 2,500 Sheet Feeder). It has
three output bins with a total maximum capacity of 2,000 unstapled
sheets, up to 667 unstapled sheets per bin. There is stapling
capability for all three bins. Stapled output is delivered face down.
The stapler can staple sets of up to 50 sheets. It has three stapling
positions (Front for portrait, Back for landscape, and Dual for
booklet mode). The customer-replaceable stapling cartridge
contains 5,000 staples.
The finisher documentation is provided as a separate document on
your CD.
Intelligent Rasterizing The DP N40 driver sends data to the printer only once, regardless of
the number of copies specified. This conserves valuable network
resources and allows users to resume their applications quickly.
Once the data reaches the N40, it analyzes the job to determine the
amount of memory the rasterized data will require. If there is
sufficient memory, it will perform Raster Image Processing (RIP)
only once and hold the rasterized pages in memory for use in
printing each successive copy.
Rasterizing is a time consuming part of the printing process. On many
small group laser printers, raster processing is repeated for each successive
copy. The ability of the N40’s printer intelligence to determine that
particular jobs need to be rasterized once allows multiple sets to be
produced at rated printer speeds. This enhances job performance.
Intelligent rasterizing is performed automatically by the N40.
