Note
Changing the configuration switch to the user-defined position during a
printing operation affects the next print job and does not modify
parameters for the job in progess. Turning off the Ethernet channel will
not take effect until the printer has been powered off and then powered
back on again.
◆
Memory Capabilities 1
The LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer comes with 4 MB of masked ROM (MROM) and 8 MB
of DRAM installed in the first DRAM SIMM socket on the main circuit board or
controller. Figure 1-6 shows the positioning of the EPROM, DRAM, and ROM in
relationship to the other components on the controller board.
ROM Capability 1
The LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer has 4 MB of MROM installed on the controller board
to store the diagnostic software, fonts, and the PostScript and PCL interpreter required
by the printer.
DRAM Expansion 1
The LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer comes with 8 MB of DRAM installed in the first bank
of the two 72-pin DRAM SIMM slots on the main circuit board (see Figure 1-6). The
SIMM slots accept 72-pin 80 nanosecond DRAM SIMMs, like those used in the
LaserWriter Pro 630 printer and Power Macintosh computer. A total of 32 MB of DRAM
can be installed in the LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer.
