1.8 Resolution/Graphics Enhancements Option Board

The optional Resolution/Graphics Enhancements (RGE) board is installed in a

connector on the video controller board. The connector socket is located above

the two SIMM sockets.

RGE image enhancement differs from DECimage enhancement. RGE creates

a 1200 x 1200 bit map in the video controller board memory; DECimage uses

a 600 x 600 dpi bitmap. This memory usage might cause memory overﬂow or

print overrun errors (described in Section 6.8) when printing complex images

or using many downline loaded fonts.

The RGE enhances the appearance of all PostScript and PCL images. Low

resolution image enhancement begins as soon as the RGE board is plugged in

and power is turned on. It cannot be enabled or disabled. Two high-resolution

features are available:

• 1200 x 600 dpi

• 1200 x 1200 dpi
