Kodak 8650 manual Introduction, About printer memory

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the KODAK Digital Science 8650/8650 PS

Color Printer.

The KODAK Digital Science 8650 Printer operates only in raster mode. The 8650 PS Printer is a PostScript language printer that also operates in raster mode. You can purchase an upgrade kit for the 8650 Printer that allows it to operate in both raster and PostScript modes.

The 8650/8650 PS Color Printer is a thermal dye diffusion device with superior printing speed. It contains a 33 MHz MIPS RISC processor, has a resolution of 300 dots per inch (DPI), and prints a three or four- color page in about 75 seconds. Printed images are high-contrast and long lasting. KODAK EKTATHERM XTRALIFE Ribbon (available with 3-color ribbon) can be used to protect images from fingerprints.

About printer memory

You can purchase the 8650/8650 PS Printer with 32 MB or 48 MB of memory. You can add memory to the printer to a maximum of 64 MB.

If your printer has 32 MB of memory, you can print all image sizes for three-color or black ribbons. You cannot, however, print CMYK images with 4-color ribbon. In addition, your ability to process one job while printing another is limited.

If your printer has 48 MB of memory, you can print all image sizes for all ribbons. With 48 MB of memory, you can process one job at the same time you are printing another while you are using 12-inch ribbon.

If your printer has 64 MB of memory, you can process and print jobs of all sizes at the same time.
