About the Memory

To make printouts, it is first necessary to capture the image into memory. When capturing the image, there are two ways to use the memory, one is frame mode and the other is field mode.

Frame mode: A image is captured in one memory.

Field mode: A memory is divided into two, and images can be captured in each. A memory in which an image is captured is called memory page in this manual. The number of usable memory pages depends on the type of the selected reduced images and memory mode.

When you select four-reduced image mode or 16-reduced image mode, the unit selects automatically frame mode regardless of the setting of MEMORY on the LAYOUT SETUP menu.
