7. How much RAM memory does the Controller have?
-
It comes standard with 4 megabytes of RAM.
8. What if my file size is over 4 megabytes? Will the Controller be able
to process the file?
-
Under most circumstances, the answer is yes, due to a process built
into the Controller called "power banding". If your files are very large,
you might want to consider upgrading to 16 megabytes of RAM. Please
contact your local Sales Representative for more information.
9. Can you add additional memory?
-
Yes, the Controller can be upgraded from 4 megabytes to 16
megabytes of RAM. Please contact your local Sales Representative for
more details on this upgrade.
10. Must you configure all software when you install the Controller?
-
Yes and no. The Configuration Program supplied with the Controller
must be installed on your computer in order for you to change any of
the factory settings. For example, the Controller comes preset in
PostScript mode with a US Letter (8 1/2" X 11") or A4 page size. If you
wish to switch to PCL-5 mode or to a different page size, you must use
the Configuration Program to make those changes. In order to output to
the Priport through the Controller, you need to select the appropriate
printer driver in your software application for the mode (PostScript or
PCL-5) and page size you wish to print.
11. Will the Controller work with Windows 3.1?
-
Yes, as long as you select the appropriate printer driver for the page
size you need.
12. Will the Controller work with all application software programs?
-
As there are no international software standards which apply to the
over 10,000 software applications worldwide, it is impossible to give a
definitive answer for each and every program in the DOS, Windows
and Macintosh environments. We have tested and know that the most
popular software applications, MS Windows 3.1, WordPerfect, MS
Word, etc. work extremely well. The Controller is designed to emulate
(act as if it were in fact) a large variety of PostScript printers or a HP
LaserJet III for PCL-5 output. Therefore, if your software application
allows you to select either a PostScript printer or a HP LaserJet III, you
should be able to send files to the Priport through the Controller to
produce documents.
