Single In-Line Memory
Modules (SIMMs)
Single in-line memory modules (or SIMMs) are compact circuit
boards with surface-mount memory chips. The QMS 2060
WX Print
System comes standard with 8 MB of RAM. However, the two SIMM
connectors on the controller board support up to 32 MB.
»
Note:
The 32 MB configuration requires two 16 MB SIMMs. A single
32 MB SIMM will not work correctly.
See FAQ 7191 for a list of each approved SIMM, its manufacturers
and part numbers, and the QMS products on which it can be used.
You can access QMS FAQs through the Internet at
http://www.qms.com/www/faq/ or through Q-FAX. (See appendix A,
“QMS Customer Support,” to find out how to access Q-FAX
documents. FAQ numbers may be subject to change, so you may
want to obtain a directory of Q-FAX documents before requesting a
specific document.)
You may need additional memory (SIMMs) for the following:
n
To print complex images on large page sizes
n
To images with greater than 40% gray shading on Universal size

How the PC and Printer Use Memory
PC
When you print a file, the QMS 2060 WX printer driver uses the PC’s
memory to
1
Send data from the Windows display to the Spooler (a file on
the disk) and then
2
Compress the data and send it from the Spooler to the
selected port, either parallel or Ethernet.
