Beneﬁts of upgrading memory

The Phaser 340 has 8 Mbytes of standard memory. You can upgrade the printer memory to 12 Mbytes by ordering a 4-Mbyte SIMM (Tektronix order number 4690F4M). Additional memory allows processing of more complex ﬁles.

The Phaser 340 can also be upgraded to a 24-Mbyte conﬁguration that supports 600 x 300 dpi printing by ordering the 4685F16 16-Mbyte memory upgrade and Z340ROM or Z340FX upgrade. The installation of either kit upgrades the printer to the extended features conﬁguration. Refer to “Extended features upgrade” on page B-1 for more information.
